SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Echo of the Whale: Taking History Below the Surface
DESCRIPTION:Bowhead whales have been known to three groups along the Bering Strait over the past two centuries: Indigenous Yupik and Inupiaq whalers\, capitalist commercial whalers\, and communist industrial whalers. Each imagined different normative relationships with whales\, tied to distinct visions of time\, history\, and personhood. This talk explores how those ideas shaped interactions between human hunters and bowheads and what we can discern of whales' subsurface responses to their pursuers\, in order to examine what counts as a source for historians\, and who is able to speak in our narratives. \n\nBathsheba Demuth is the Dean's Associate Professor of History and Environment and Society at Brown University\, where she specializes in the lands and seas of the Russian and North American Arctic. Her prize winning first book\, Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait (W.W. Norton) was named a best book of 2019 by Nature\, NPR\, Kirkus Reviews\, and Library Journal among others. Demuth holds a BA and MA from Brown University\, and an MA and PhD from the University of California\, Berkeley. A Carnegie Fellow\, she is currently researching the Yukon River. \n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
