摘要

无知对北极及其他地区的环境历史具有尚未开发的解释力。我将 "无知 "定义为一种知识有限的状态,由群体掌握,并通过社会过程产生。案例研究是 1968 年至 1976 年间加拿大波弗特海石油边界的开辟。根据不断增加的关于无知的学术研究,以及新近获得的政府和石油工业记录,我回顾了环境史学家可以用来分析无知产生的三个概念。这些概念是:专有知识、选择性传播和未完成的研究。综合来看,这些概念揭示了一系列政治、经济和环境条件,这些条件使得加拿大波弗特海首个近海钻探计划的批准取决于无知。最终,本案例研究表明,无知--就像它的同类--怀疑或不确定性一样--一直是采掘业和政府监管机构操纵的一种资源,以适应不断变化的环境规划要求。

Ignorance and Environmental History: The Opening of an Arctic Offshore Oil Frontier, 1968–1976
Ignorance holds untapped explanatory power for environmental history, in the Arctic and beyond. I define ignorance as a state of limited knowledge, held by groups, and produced through social processes. The case study is the opening of an oil frontier in the Canadian Beaufort Sea between 1968 and 1976. Drawing from a growing body of scholarship on ignorance, as well as newly available governmental and oil industry records, I review three concepts environmental historians can use to analyse the production of ignorance. These concepts are: proprietary knowledge, selective transmission and undone research. Taken together, these concepts make visible a set of political, economic and environmental conditions that allowed ignorance to shape the approval of the first offshore drilling programme in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. Ultimately, this case study demonstrates that ignorance – like its cousins doubt or uncertainty – has been a resource that extractive industries and governmental regulators have manipulated to navigate evolving requirements of environmental planning.
