The study of human-animal relations is one of the most promising fields in historiography. We suggest taking a longue durée-view on the interplay of human and nonhuman actors that ranges from post-Petrine Russia to the fall of the Soviet Union with a spatial scope from western Russia to the Pacific Ocean, and from the steppes of Central Asia to the ice shelves of the Arctic Circle.
This motivates us to re-evaluate established narratives of internal colonization (as in the example of the fur trade), culturalization (in pet-keeping and the emergence of livestock farming), and conflicting agencies (as in the rather macabre tales of polar bears and Arctic explorers). Considering the lasting inaccessibility of Russian archives, this also presents us with alternative avenues and opportunities in finding and interpreting historical sources.
Our workshop brings together scholars from such varied backgrounds like environmental, social and cultural history in order to discuss new approaches to an old relationship.

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
