Session Submission Type: Roundtable
Roundtable members will examine how Siberian studies link history and anthropology, visual and literary studies, and environmental and indigenous studies, exploring how concepts of infrastructure, isolation, connectivity, and the landscapes and timescapes of Siberia all contribute to the directions taken by the field. Participants will address topics associated with the past, present, and anticipated future of the region, from the Russian Empire to post-Soviet Russia and beyond, with special emphasis on imagined geographies, photography, infrastructural projects, and ideologies of modernization. How such phenomena have left lasting effects on the Siberian environment and the identities of its inhabitants—from the builders of BAM to the development of the Arctic—will be discussed through case studies in global perspective.
