Abstract
Against the common association of voyages of exploration with discovery and the arrival of modernity, this essay argues that maintenance and repair were essential to the success of such voyages and that maintenance and innovation are best seen as fundamentally integrated. Using the Russian circumnavigatory voyage of Adam von Krusenstern and Urey Lisianskii in 1803-7 as a case study, the essay explores the diverse forms and roles of infrastructure and repair work in enabling a voyage of exploration, and reveals the tensions and debates that considerations of maintenance evoked among ships' officers, crews, and the peoples they encountered.
反对将探索之旅与发现和现代性的到来联系在一起的普遍观点,本文认为维护和修理是这些航行成功的关键,维护和创新最好被视为基本的整合。本文以亚当·冯·克鲁森斯特恩(Adam von Krusenstern)和尤里·利西安斯基(Urey Lisianskii)在1803- 1807年的俄罗斯环球航行为例,探讨了基础设施和维修工作在实现探险航行中的不同形式和作用,并揭示了维护方面的考虑在船上的官员、船员和他们遇到的民族之间引起的紧张和辩论。
