My dissertation argues that these “ruins” of a future as imagined in the past continue producing warped meanings. They become a kind of affective infrastructure for the present. Through daily engagement with the material reminders of Socialist industrialism’s failed promise, people are entangled in a particular affective infrastructure of belonging. I study these entanglements by focusing on avillage in the Priangar’e region of Siberia. In the 1950s and 1960s, the developmental transformation of Soviet infrastructure manifested in the region with the construction of the Bratsk Dam and Hydroelectric Power Station. The dam and the station were a massive terraforming project. The dam-induced flood displaced thousands of people. New settlements arouse at the shores of the Angara River. They were centrally planned. One such settlement, the primary site of my research, is the village of Anosovo. Almost sixty years since relocation, eloquently described by the Russian writer Valentin Rasputin in the novel Farewell to Matyora, Anosovo, a sister-prototype of Matyora, is still there. With the official dis- bandment of the USSR in 1991, Anosovo saw the drastic reduction of government support on the way of marketization, privatization, and liberalization of prices with the turn to the neoliberal market economy. Anosovo, along with countless other small settlements across the former USSR territories, found itself in a position of a monotown with the privatized enterprise with the plummeting social sphere. How do peo- ple survive there and in so doing, how do they navigate the entanglements of ruins and new beginnings? viii What keeps the remaining villages rooted in a place whose population has dwindled from more than 2,000 in the 1970s to a little over 500 today? How do they define their belonging and how do they effectively “belong”? This work argues that among the factors that define people’s connection to the place postponing their movement is the multiplicity of the ties of “affective infrastructure” understood in two senses: first, as the human (and animal) connections, and second, as the workings of the infrastructural agglomerations of objects upon the consciousness of the people. People become the sensitive joints in affective infrastruc- tures. Being incorporated within these affective infrastructures and in effect manifesting as the elements of such, the villagers in Anosovo connect to the place with strong ties. The affective profile of the villagers turns out to be optimistic, directed toward the future, hopeful, nostalgic, longing for immortality and awaiting compensation or retribution. The mood is marked with what this works calls “cheerful nonchalance”: a disregard for the everyday risks and dangers of life in the industrial margins of Russian Siberia. This work argues that cheerful nonchalance—the upbeat spirit of caring less or not at all—is an affective response to precarious conditions. This ethnographic work is grounded in participant observation, collection of narratives, andmyown family history: my grandmother lived in Anosovo until the death of her husband, and the story of her peregrinations, her theorization of the “Siberian character,” and the analysis of her written memoirs add a personal and intimate dimension to this study. ix Ust Ilimsk RUSSIA aikal-Amur M B ainl ine Ust Kut Bratsk Magistralnyi Severobaikalsk Karda Zhigalovo IRKUTSK Anosovo OBLAST Kumareika Muia Ust Uda Verkholensk Balagansk T r a n s - S ib e r ia n R a i lw Svirsk a y Ust Baley Angarsk BURYATIA Irkutsk Ulan Ude ZABAYKALSKY KRAI MONGOLIA 0 100 200 km Figure 2.

  • Gendered Mobility, Legacy and Transformative Sacrifice in the Screen Stories of Susanne Bier
    Networking Knowledge Position-in-frame (Jun. 2017) Position-in-frame: gendered mobility, legacy and transformative sacrifice in the screen stories of Susanne Bier. CATH MOORE, Deakin University ABSTRACT An integral connection point between the screenplay and reader/viewer is the protagonist’s transformative journey. The construction of this narrative backbone is critical to the articulation of overarching thematic concerns and story premise but also reflects the story creator’s worldview- one often coloured by representations of gender. The Hollywood model certainly divides narrative function along gender lines but does this representation hold true within a different cultural context? This article examines the selected screen stories of Danish director Susanne Bier whose partnership with screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen is one of Denmark’s most successful film partnerships. Employing a case study methodology I examine the dramatic function of and agency afforded screen characters and the critical dynamic between cultural landscape, practitioner preference and narrative inquiry. Key to this address is an exploration of mobility, legacy and sacrifice as textual considerations of gender and its utilisation as transnational narrative strategy. KEYWORDS Transnational, mobility, transformative, collaboration, gaze Refocusing a masculinised gaze? With persistent ubiquity Hollywood continues to cast a dominant shadow over much of the global film & TV landscape. Similarly pervasive is the figurehead of such industrial influence - the male protagonist

SHISHATSKY, Cand. Sci. (Econ.) E-mail: [email protected] Institute of Economy and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences, Kransnoyarsk, Russia Abstract. The article considers the main prerequisites and the directions of development of Northern and Arctic areas of the Krasnoyarsk Krai based on creation of reliable local transport and power infrastructure and formation of hi-tech and competitive territorial clusters. We examine both the current (new large min- ing and processing works in the Norilsk industrial region; development of Ust-Eniseysky group of oil and gas fields; gasification of the Krasnoyarsk agglomeration with the resources of bradenhead gas of Evenkia; ren- ovation of housing and public utilities of the Norilsk agglomeration; development of the Arctic and north- ern tourism and others), and earlier considered, but rejected, projects (construction of a large hydroelectric power station on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river; development of the Porozhinsky manganese field; place- ment of the metallurgical enterprises using the Norilsk ores near Lower Angara region; construction of the meridional Yenisei railroad and others) and their impact on the development of the region. It is shown that in new conditions it is expedient to return to consideration of these projects with the use of modern tech- nologies and organizational approaches. It means, above all, formation of the local integrated regional pro- duction systems and networks providing interaction and cooperation of the fuel and raw, processing and innovative sectors.

    LTEU 153GS —Environmental Studies in Russia: Lake Baikal Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia is approximately 25 million years old, the deepest and oldest lake in the world, holding more than 20% of earth’s fresh water, and providing a home to 2500 animal species and 1000 plant species. It is at risk of being irreparably harmed due to increasing and varied pollution and climate change. It has a rich history and culture for Russians and the many indigenous cultures surrounding it. It is the subject of social activism and public policy debate. Our course will explore the physical and biological characteristics of Lake Baikal, the risks to its survival, and the changes already observed in the ecosystem. We will also explore its cultural significance in the arts, literature, and religion, as well as political, historical, and economic issues related to it. Class will be run largely as a seminar. Each student will be expected to contribute based on their own expertise, life experience, and active learning. As a final project, student groups will draw on their own research and personal experiences with Lake Baikal to form policy proposals and a media campaign supporting them.

  • Tea Practices in Mongolia a Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings
    Gaby Bamana University of Wales Tea Practices in Mongolia A Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings This article provides a description and analysis of tea practices in Mongolia that disclose features of female power and gendered meanings relevant in social and cultural processes. I suggest that women’s gendered experiences generate a differentiated power that they engage in social actions. Moreover, in tea practices women invoke meanings that are also differentiated by their gendered experience and the powerful position of meaning construction. Female power, female identity, and gendered meanings are distinctive in the complex whole of cultural and social processes in Mongolia. This article con- tributes to the understudied field of tea practices in a country that does not grow tea, yet whose inhabitants have turned this commodity into an icon of social and cultural processes in everyday life. keywords: female power—gendered meanings—tea practices—Mongolia— female identity Asian Ethnology Volume 74, Number 1 • 2015, 193–214 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture t the time this research was conducted, salty milk tea (süütei tsai; сүүтэй A цай) consumption was part of everyday life in Mongolia.1 Tea was an ordi- nary beverage whose most popular cultural relevance appeared to be the expres- sion of hospitality to guests and visitors. In this article, I endeavor to go beyond this commonplace knowledge and offer a careful observation and analysis of social practices—that I identify as tea practices—which use tea as a dominant symbol. In tea practices, people (women in most cases) construct and/or reappropri- ate the meaning of their gendered identity in social networks of power.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

The purpose of these studies is to examine successful programs of regional development from an international perspective, with a multidisciplinary team of scientists skilled in the use of systems analysis. The study of the Bratsk-Ilimsk Territorial Production Complex (BITPC) represents an interim effort in our research activities. The first study was of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States*, forthcoming is the study of the Shinkansen development program in Japan. The present Report covers six major aspects of the BITPC program: goals, variants, and strategies; planning and organization; model calculations and computer applications; integration of environmental factors; energy supply systems; and water resources. It is hoped that the experience of the Soviet scientists and practitioners and the observations and suggestions of the study team will ~rovidethe IIASA National Member Organizations" with insights into problem solving in the management, planning, and organization of large-scale development programs.
