摘要

本文通过性别和女权主义理论的视角,分析了几部纪录片和其他资料,探讨了狩猎和自然在苏联外交关系中的作用。这篇文章将外交视为一个男性的空间,在这个空间里,外交谈判依赖于成功地展示强硬、展示勇猛和敏捷。这些技能不是在官方的权力走廊中得到最好的展示,而是在充满与男子气概相关的象征意义的环境中,比如自然。后者通常作为一个同质的社会空间,通过英雄气概的仪式性表演来展示和重建权力。像狩猎这样的仪式是为了实现几个目标。他们促进了男性之间的联系,这种联系形成了一种更受欢迎的个人外交风格的基础,并使苏联官员能够展示枪法技巧和一定程度的身体力量,从而将他们作为强有力的领导人和令人渴望的盟友展示给外国同行。更重要的是,与其他表现男子气概的仪式一样,苏联的外交狩猎产生并再现了男子气概——并由此产生了权力——并在战略上维护或挑战国际等级制度,塑造新的和重申摇摇欲倒的联盟,并向来访的国家领导人展示了苏联体系的敏捷性和效力。

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 imbued with symbolic meanings associated with masculinity, such as nature. The latter often served as a homosocial space where power was displayed and reconstituted through ritualistic performances of heroic masculinity. Such rituals as hunting sought to accomplish several goals. They promoted the male bonding that formed the basis of a preferred personal style of diplomacy and allowed Soviet apparatchiks to display marksmanship skills and a level of physical prowess that would present them to their foreign counterparts as potent leaders and desired allies. More importantly, as with other performative rituals of masculinity, Soviet diplomatic hunts produced and reproduced masculinity – and with it, power – and served strategically to assert or challenge international hierarchies, shape new and reaffirm faltering alliances, and demonstrate the agility and potency of the Soviet system to visiting state leaders.
