abstract

Studies of indigenous place attachments tend to focus on the alternative environmental ontologies that animate and inform indigenous peoples’ relationships with place, but rarely engage with the material and psychological impacts of colonialist practices—namely, displacement and dispossession of land. Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 triggered the internal displacement of tens of thousands of Crimeans to mainland Ukraine, including ethnic Russians, Ukrainians, and indigenous Crimean Tatars. This multiethnic flow of internally displaced peoples (IDPs) affords the opportunity to contrast the post-displacement attachments of both indigenous and nonindigenous peoples to the same place. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper argues that Slavs’ attachments to Crimea are principally individualistic and rooted in a reverence for the peninsula’s natural environment, while Crimean Tatars possess an intergenerational narrative of national belonging to Crimea informed by cyclical patterns and experiences of colonialist displacement from their homeland.

对土著地方依恋的研究往往侧重于为土著人民与地方的关系赋予活力和信息的替代环境本体论，但很少涉及殖民主义实践的物质和心理影响——即土地的迁移和剥夺。俄罗斯在 2014 年吞并克里米亚半岛，引发了数万克里米亚人在国内流离失所到乌克兰大陆，其中包括俄罗斯族、乌克兰人和土著克里米亚鞑靼人。国内流离失所者 (IDP) 的这种多种族流动提供了机会，可以对比土著和非土著人民对同一地方的流离失所后依恋。根据民族志田野调查，
