Pax Slavica in Flux: European Contexts (PSIF)

The research group Pax Slavica in Flux (PSIF), formerly known as Russian Space (or RSCPR), is engaged in a multidisciplinary research of Slavonic histories and cultures within a wider European and indigenous context

PSIF/RSCPR history and partners

During the group's first life cycle (2015-19), RSCPR members organised many research seminars, took part in a number of academic conferences in Norway and abroad, and published the following items (including two recent books by Chekin and Gustafsson, as well as a multiauthored monograph by Hansen, Rogatchevski, Steinholt and Wickström). A collection of articles on the northern impact of the 1917 Russian revolutions, co-edited by Myklebost, J P Nielsen and Rogatchevski, came out in March 2020.

Two PhD students (Anni Lappela of the University of Helsinki and Jacek Szymala of the University of Wrocław) were affiliated to RSCPR, in September-November 2018 (to conduct research) and October 2019 - March 2020 (as an Erasmus trainee) respectively.

Several grants have been secured. Two doctoral theses, began in 2015 and 2016 respectively by Høgetveit and Hansen, have been completed on time and successfully defended in 2019 and 2020. Three more doctoral students have been employed to conduct their research during the group's second phase of existence (2020-23).

In August 2022, Hansen's book Ukraina: Historien, menneskene, krigen came out. In December 2022, Rogatchevski co-edited a special issue of the Kinokultura journal on Russophone Israeli cinema. Two more group members, Høgetveit and Katsev, contributed to it.

Last but not least, RSCPR members have established a new academic discipline, Svalbard Studies. A special issue of the Nordlit journal (no. 45), devoted to Svalbard Studies and co-edited by Chekin and Rogatchevski in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Svalbard Treaty, appeared in February 2020. Another special issue, of the Poljarnyj vestnik journal (vol. 25/1), on Svalbard-related coal mining, co-edited by Rogatchevski and Steinholt, came out in June 2022.

In September 2024, for its third phase of existence (2024-present), to better reflect the changing focus of group members' research interests, the group was renamed "Pax Slavica in Flux: European Contexts" (or PSIF).

The group has collaborated with the Border Poetics / Border Culture (currently in abeyance) and ENCODE research groups.

Grants

The group aims to secure internal and external financial support for a diverse range of individual and collaborative research and knowledge transfer projects. Below is a list of successful applications only.

2023

A CUNP grant (NOK 35,000) to Andrei Rogatchevski to spend two months at Aix-Marseille Université to work on an article about Joseph Brodsky's "Gorbunov and Gorchakov"

2022

A CUNP grant (NOK 25,000) to host Ms Sophie Duveau (EHESS) researching a history of French bases on Svalbard.

An NFR/SSG Arctic Field Grant (NOK 85,000) for Ms Sophie Duveau's research trip to Ny-Ålesund in the summer of 2022.

2021

"Perspectives on Contemporary Belarus" (UiT, NOK 30,000) to Andrei Rogatchevski to organise and hold, in the autumn of 2022 in Tromsø, an international conference on Belarusian culture and identity (held on 7-8 September 2022)

2019

"GLORIOUS: Digital Poetry in Today's Russia: Canonisation and Translation" (MSCA-IF, EUR 202,158.72), a two-year EU-funded postdoctoral research project, carried out by Dr Josephine von Zitzewitz

"Unknown Archival Documentaries about Svalbard" (UiT, NOK 25,000) to Andrei Rogatchevski

2018

"Environmental Dialogue in the Barents Region" (UiT NOK 30,000) to Sander Goes (Barents Institute), "for a pilot study aiming to analyse not only environmental but also the ethical, communicative and political aspects of environmental dialogue in the Barents region, particularly in Norwegian and Russian society. By studying how corporations deal with the environmental norm (instead of a classical “top-down” approach of complying with the formal rules of the game), we will increase our understanding of the norm-obedience behavior and, moreover, whether we can observe a kind of dialogue between corporations and other stakeholders in society. This pilot project – which will be part of a broad international study of norm-obedience under the regimes where the rule of law is considered weak – will also challenge environmental deinstitutionalization theorists arguing that stakeholders have no influence in the environmental decision-making process in contemporary Russia. Our research group will organize a workshop at the Barents Institute in Kirkenes in January 2019 in order to analyse the results of the project's fieldwork".

As a follow-up to HUMEVAL (an assessment of humanities research across Norway's higher education institutions, undertaken in 2016-17, in which RSCPR received a good mark), NOK 2,062M have been awarded to the group for the period of 2019-2021 for a three-year PhD position, as well as research project development, guest researchers, research trips abroad and attendance/organisation of workshops/conferences.

11 October 2022, Tromsø, a seminar by Anna Obukhova, a PhD student at UiT. "Corpus Assisted Discourse Analysis: Svalbard (Spitsbergen) through the Prism of the Russian News Media". The present study investigates how the Svalbard archipelago (Spitsbergen) has been covered by a number of Russian media outlets. Russia has a direct connection to Svalbard, which is a Norwegian territory, by means of Russian presence there in accordance with the Svalbard Treaty signed in February 1920. The Treaty recognizes the sovereignty of Norway over Svalbard and gives equal rights to other countries to conduct economic activity there. The present study deals with newspaper text data produced between 2010 and 2021 and is aimed at revealing the narrative lines related to Svalbard. I demonstrate how some political events within this timeline, e.g., the Treaty on Maritime Delimitation and Cooperation in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean (2010) and the start of the Ukrainian crisis (2014), form the narrative lines produced in the texts. A method used as a starting point within the present project is MBA (Market Basket Analysis), a data-mining technique that can be used to facilitate corpus-assisted discourse analysis. MBA reveals associative links between keywords occurring in different texts that comprise a corpus (Cvrček & Fidler 2022). Keywords are prominent words typical for a text and they can be considered indicators of the topic and style of a text (Fidler & Cvrček 2018: 198-199). Associative links produced by MBA provide a wider context for keywords within the discourse. At the same time, associative links can be interpreted as patterns of associations between concepts in the discourse (Cvrček & Fidler 2022).

7 April 2022, UiT, a seminar by Sophie Duveau (EHESS, Paris). "The entanglement of huts and science: Understanding the contemporary itinerary of cultural heritage on Svalbard". Although a considerable effort has been made to protect certain sites dating from the contemporary period, post-1945 cultural environments and built structures on Svalbard have received little attention. In this talk, the anthropologist and historian of science Sophie Duveau (EHESS, Centre Alexandre Koyré, Paris) will discuss the contemporary uses, imaginaries and attachments related to protected, non-protected and partially protected huts located on Brøggerhalvoya and in the Isfjord region. She will zoom in on how built structures may form a complementary source of historical knowledge to trace scientific expeditions over the second half of the 20thcentury and how their itineraries influence geographical practices in the present time.

In 2022, Ms Sophie Duveau (EHESS, Paris) and Prof Andrei Rogatchevski received two grants, one from CUNP and another from NFR/SSG (Arctic Field Grant), for a sum total of NOK 110,000, to fund Ms Duveau's research trips to Tromsø and Ny-Ålesund.

4 March 2021, UiT, a seminar by Kirsten Johannessen (UiT). The abstract is in Norwegian: "SKIPSFORLIS VED BJØRNØYA (MK "OLAV", MARS 1920). Gruveselskapet Bjørnøen AS hadde sagt opp sine arbeidere etter en streik og sendte de oppsagte hjem til fastlandet. I den anledning ble to ishavsskuter fra Tromsø, MK "Olav" og MK "Ringsæl", leid inn for å hente ned de som var på Bjørnøya. "Olav", ført av skipper og reder Kristoffer Meyer Eriksen, forliste med 35 personer på 22.-23.mars 1920, på vei fra Bjørnøya til Tromsø. Dette var en stor nasjonal tragedie i sin samtid, som fikk mye offentlig oppmerksomhet. Den ble også en politisk verkebyll etter hvert, og brukt som eksempel på hvor dårlig gruvearbeiderne ble behandlet på Svalbard. Der var det ingen lover og regler som på fastlandet, og gruveselskapene hadde full råderett over sine ansatte. Det ble til og med holdt et lukket regjeringsmøte i 1922, der dette ble tatt opp. Forlisets historie og ettervirkninger rekonstrueres i blant annet ved å bruke av gruveselskapets arkiverte direktørprotokoller, avisutklipp fra dagene og ukene etter ulykken og Kristoffer Meyer Eriksens private papirer. Her er Svalbardhistorie, arbeiderhistorie og ishavshistorie i forening. Det er mye dramatikk, med klare linjer til dagens situasjon".

9 February 2021, UiT, an online seminar by Rune N. Andreassen (NRK). The abstract is in Norwegian: "EN SKATTEKISTE I FARE. De første menneskene kom til Svalbard for over 400 år siden. Minnene kan ses over hele øygruppa, i form av gamle gravsteder og rester av spekkovner. Man trodde lenge at kulturminnene skulle vare evig i Svalbards isørken. Men nå trues både gravsteder, taubanebukker og fangsthytter av et varmere og fuktigere klima".
