This study aims to understand the emotional labour and relationship building in connection to the expected mining industry in Greenland. Greenland mining is often portrayed as something that could create an economic basis for national independence which makes politicians curious about what a potential “partnership” could make possible. Envisioning future relationships (in debates about mining in Greenland) also set the framework for reinterpretation and redefinition of the past, to give meaning to promised new development; hence, this kind of future-making tends to be contested. The analysis centres around stories of what could be (if Greenland really was a place of mining), and the theoretical framework makes use of Ahmed’s and Wetherell’s interpretations of affective economies. Thus the study discusses emotional labour with a special focus on partnership, emotions and filtration, while visiting affective scenes and sites related to the mining of Greenland’s minerals. Greenland’s current position as a state in formation, while still reconciling with experiences from the past, affects relationship building, the openness to flirtation, and sometimes creates conflicts and hieratical structures between the potential partners to be.

格陵兰采矿业的故事、情感、伙伴关系和对稳定关系的追求

本研究旨在了解与格陵兰预期采矿业相关的情感劳动和关系建立。格陵兰采矿经常被描述为可以为国家独立创造经济基础的东西,这让政客们对潜在的“伙伴关系”可以带来什么感到好奇。展望未来的关系(在关于格陵兰采矿的辩论中)也为重新解释和重新定义过去设定了框架,为承诺的新发展赋予意义;因此,这种未来的创造往往会受到质疑。分析围绕可能的故事(如果格陵兰岛真的是一个采矿地),理论框架利用了艾哈迈德和韦瑟雷尔对情感经济的解释。因此,该研究讨论了情感劳动,特别关注伙伴关系、情感和过滤,同时访问了与格陵兰矿产开采相关的情感场景和地点。格陵兰目前作为一个正在形成的国家的地位,虽然仍然与过去的经验相协调,但会影响关系的建立、对调情的开放性,有时还会在潜在的合作伙伴之间造成冲突和等级结构。
