City in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia

“When we talk about the impact of global negative factors – primarily climate ones – that our country’s President Vladimir Putin addressed yesterday, new objectives get special urgency and become today’s necessity in the face of infrastructure problems in the Arctic”.

 

Aysen Nikolaev,

Head of Sakha Republic (Yakutia)

An expedition on investigation of nomadic Chukchi lifestyle was held in the Chukotskiy AO. It was held by the Russian group of scientists led by the corresponding member of RAS, Chief research worker of the Ural branch of RAS, the Institute of History and Archeology, the president of Anthropologists and ethnologists of Russia accosiation, Andrey Golovnev.

Within two weeks, from 27 August till 8 September, researchers lived in camp of the reindeer herders. According to Andrey Golovnev, this expedition was the first stage of scale project "Mobility in the Arctic. Ethnic traditions and technological innovation".

The main object of this expedition is to understand what nomadic lifestyle is and what is its aspects. Secondary, we consider, the description of nomadism is useful for all inhabitants of the North, as general technologies  of this mobile lifestyle is good for everybody.  Thirdly, we consider nomadic foundations in the context of design. Nomadism is getting popular among urban population.
During the exibition researchers made mapping, measured the route of reindeers herders' movement and filmed the footage.

However, the scientist noted, it doesn't mean that the researsh ends. The group plan to return to Chaun in March 2015. As the governor of Chukotka, Roman Kopin said, the government will support them.

Also scientists plan to make epeditions to remote areas like Yamal, Komi and Yakutia. Outcome of study should be a documentary about nomads' life and philosophy.

The project is supported by the Russian science Foundation, grant value is $5 million Roubles.

ИЗВЕСТНЫЙ РОССИЙСКИЙ АНТРОПОЛОГ АНДРЕЙ ГОЛОВНЁВ ПРОВЁЛ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ КОЧЕВОГО ОБРАЗА ЖИЗНИ ЧУКЧЕЙ В ЧАУН-ЧУКОТКЕ

В Чукотском автономном округе завершилась экспедиция по исследованию образа жизни кочевых чукчей. Её проводила группа российских учёных под руководством члена-корреспондента РАН, главного научного сотрудника Института истории и археологии Уральского отделения РАН, президента Ассоциации антропологов и этнологов России Андрея Головнёва.

В течение двух недель, с 27 августа по 8 сентября, научные сотрудники жили в стойбище оленеводов. По словам Андрея Головнёва, экспедиция стала первым этапом масштабного проекта «Мобильность в Арктике. Этнические традиции и технологические инновации».

– Наша главная цель – понять, как устроена кочевая жизнь, каковы её перспективы. Во-вторых, мы полагаем, что описание номадизма полезно не только для чукчей, ненцев или саамов, но и для всех жителей, поскольку общие технологии этого мобильного образа жизни хороши для всех, кто попадает на Север. В-третьих, мы рассматриваем кочевые принципы с точки зрения дизайна. Номадизм становится всё более популярным среди городского населения.

За время экспедиции исследователи провели картографические работы, произвели замеры по маршрутам движения оленеводов, отсняли видеоматериал.

Вместе с тем, отметил учёный, на этом исследования не закончатся. Группа планирует вернуться в Чаунский район в марте 2015 года. Как прокомментировал губернатор Чукотки Роман Копин, со стороны Правительства будет оказана всесторонняя поддержка.

Добавим, что в целом в рамках проекта «Мобильность в Арктике» учёные также планируют совершить экспедиции в отдалённые районы Ямала, Коми и Якутии. Итогом изучения должен стать документальный фильм о жизни и философии кочевников.

Проект реализуется на средства Российского научного фонда, размер гранта составляет 5 млн. рублей.
