摘要

摘要基于长期的民族志田野调查数据,本文认为朗伊尔城的居民希望作为一个社区表现出来的方式与阻碍该镇从过去继承下来并接受其为挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛政治的分界线之间存在着紧张关系。自20世纪90年代以来,朗伊尔城的人口发生了相当大的变化,从一个以挪威矿业为主的社区变成了一个高度多样化的世界各地人群。本文将Longyearbyen置于具有类似痕迹的定居点的更广泛背景下(在斯堪的纳维亚半岛、北极、世界各地的多语言和移民社区,或在榨取主义的背景下),并讨论了社区化的现有障碍。与四名参与者的会面揭示了在培养社会凝聚力和塑造朗伊尔城“期望的未来”方面的紧张和矛盾。除非居住在那里的人和外部管理者积极鼓励增加社区代理权的过程,否则定居点的未来可能会疏远其居民,进一步削弱了社区化的潜力。

The trouble with local community in Longyearbyen, Svalbard: How big politics and lack of fellesskap hinder a not-yet-decided future
Abstract Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork data, this article argues there is tension between how Longyearbyen’s residents wish to perform as a community and hindrances the town inherited from its past and accepts as demarcation lines of Norway’s Svalbard politics. The population of Longyearbyen has undergone considerable change since the 1990s, turning from a predominantly Norwegian mining community into a highly diversified group of people from all over the world. This article places Longyearbyen into the wider context of settlements with similar traces (in Scandinavia, the Arctic, multilingual and immigrant communities worldwide, or in the context of extractivism) and discusses the existing barriers of communitification. Encounters with four participants illuminate the tensions and contradictions when it comes to cultivating social cohesion and shaping Longyearbyen’s “desired futures.” Unless the process of increasing the community’s agency is actively encouraged by people living there and those governing it from the outside, the future of the settlement risks being alienating for its inhabitants, weakening further the communitification potential.
