摘要

本文对1851年至1853年间美国探险家以利沙·肯特·凯恩和普鲁士制图师奥古斯特·彼得曼组织的北极中部探险活动进行了跨国分析。通过采用比较方法,本研究侧重于北极科学和探索史上的三个干预措施:围绕“扶手椅”和实地之间关系的科学专业知识的构建,跨国网络的作用,以及地图作为旅行认知对象在北极地区知识生产中的重要性。通过将这两项运动相互联系起来,本文证明了凯恩和彼得曼的运动历史并不是孤立的事件,而是19世纪帝国科学和北极探索的跨国联系的一部分。此外,基于对美国、德国和英国的图书馆和档案馆的研究,本研究重新连接了原本孤立的收藏,并为科学和探索的人际网络提供了新的发现。最后,本文说明了采用比较跨国方法来理解整个跨大西洋世界北极科学的流动性和互惠性的重要性。

'Ancient lore with modern appliances': networks, expertise, and the making of the Open Polar Sea, 1851-1853.

This article provides a transnational analysis of the campaigns for the organization of expeditions to the central Arctic region by the American explorer Elisha Kent Kane and the Prussian cartographer August Petermann between 1851 and 1853. By adopting a comparative approach, this study focuses on three interventions in the history of Arctic science and exploration: the construction of scientific expertise surrounding the relationship between the 'armchair' and the field, the role of transnational networks, and the significance of maps as travelling epistemic objects in the production of knowledge about the Arctic regions. In bringing both campaigns in conversation with each other, this article demonstrates that the histories of Kane's and Petermann's campaigns did not constitute isolated episodes but form part of a transnational nexus of imperial science and Arctic exploration in the nineteenth century. Moreover, based on research in libraries and archives in the United States, Germany and England, this study reconnects otherwise siloed collections and contributes new findings on the interpersonal networks of science and exploration. Finally, this article illustrates the importance of adopting comparative transnational approaches for understanding the fluid and reciprocal nature of Arctic science throughout the transatlantic world.
