摘要

在本文中,我们将通过考察这种新艺术服务于国内目的的方式,对国际舞台上加拿大因纽特人艺术的现有研究进行扩展,主要侧重于 20 世纪 50 年代和 60 年代。加拿大政府将发展和推广因纽特人艺术作为其将因纽特人从半独立的猎人转变为现代加拿大公民项目的一部分。在这一努力中,加拿大将因纽特人艺术作为真正的加拿大文化产品加以利用和吸收,并将其作为外交礼品和其他形式的国际文化外交活动。此前对那个时代加拿大因纽特人艺术的研究指出,对加拿大因纽特人艺术的推广支持了这个年轻国家对深厚历史的诉求,同时也标志着加拿大与美国和英国的区别。在冷战的背景下,加拿大因纽特人艺术的推广也证明了加拿大作为北极强国的地位。因纽特人的雕塑和版画被称为 "原始现代主义 "美术,与同时代苏联及其盟国的社会主义现实主义艺术形成鲜明对比。我们认为,因纽特人艺术计划的成功使政府官员相信,他们改造因纽特人生活和生计的计划将会成功。因纽特人艺术很可能转移了人们对北方现代化项目中许多问题的关注。

The art of Inuit administration: Post-war Canada, cultural diplomacy and northern administration

In this paper, we expand on existing studies of Canadian Inuit art in the international arena by examining ways in which this new art served domestic purposes, focusing primarily on the 1950s and 1960s. The Canadian government developed and promoted Inuit art as part of its project to transform Inuit from semi-independent hunters into modern Canadian citizens. In this effort, Canada took up and assimilated Inuit art as a genuine Canadian cultural product, presenting it as diplomatic gifts and for other forms of international cultural diplomacy. Previous studies of Canadian Inuit art from that era have noted the ways that the promotion of Canadian Inuit art supported the young nation’s claims to a deep history, while simultaneously marking the country’s distinction from both the United States and the United Kingdom. In the context of the Cold War, the promotion of Canadian Inuit art also asserted Canada as an Arctic power. Labelled as “primitive modernist” fine art, Inuit sculpture and prints provided a stark contrast to the contemporaneous socialist realist art of the Soviet Union and its allies. We argue that the success of the Inuit art program sustained a belief among government officials that their programme to remake Inuit lives and livelihoods would succeed. Inuit art likely deflected attention from the many things that were going wrong with that northern modernisation project.
