Embodied science and the politics of ice: Masculinity and ideology in the 1928 German–Soviet Alai–Pamir expedition and the mapping of the Fedchenko glacier
This article examines the 1928 German–Soviet Alai–Pamir expedition as a moment when different scientific traditions, political ambitions and bodily practices met in the high-altitude borderlands of Central Asia. Focusing on the mapping of the Fedchenko glacier, it argues that knowledge emerged not simply from instruments and protocols, but from the difficult encounter between bodies, technical tools and a resistant glacial landscape. The glacier …
The Infrastructure of Ice: Mapping the Fedchenko Glacier
In 1928, surveyors attached to a joint German-Soviet expedition to the Pamir Mountains produced the first detailed scientific map of the Fedchenko Glacier, the largest non-polar glacier in the world. More than a cartographic record, the map was an infrastructural act that translated the glacier’s crevassed mass into a legible form that could be circulated in atlases, mobilized in geopolitical claims, and embedded within Soviet projects of high-mo…
The Russian Boar: Animals, Masculinity and the Production of Power in the Soviet Political Elite
Focusing on the history of hunting by members of the Soviet political elite, this article analyses the use of animals in the rituals of masculinity that took place during hunting outings and were central to power production in the Soviet Union. Framed by gender theory, the article demonstrates how animals were used to assert the hunter's dominance over and subordination of both nature and other members of the hunting party and thus justify claims…
Diplomacy in the Woods: Nature, Hunting, Masculinity, and Soviet Diplomacy under N.S. Khrushchev
Analyzing several documentary films and other sources through the lens of gender and feminist theory, this article explores the role of hunting and nature in Soviet diplomatic relationships. The article views diplomacy as a masculine space in which diplomatic negotiations relied on successful displays of toughness and the exhibition of prowess and agility. These skills were best demonstrated not in the official corridors of power but in settings …
Climate Witness: Oral Environmental History and Community-Based Research—A Case Study from Trans-Himalayan India
On August 5, 2010, a violent cloudburst dumped fourteen inches of rain on Ladakh, a mountain desert region in the far north of India accustomed to getting just three inches of rain in a year. Five years later, flooding recurred on a wider scale, destroying buildings, roads, fields, and orchards all over Ladakh and provoking a wide-ranging discussion among locals about the causes of climate catastrophe. In this essay, we attend to those local voic…
