ABSTRACT Trophy hunting in the Arctic happened in an intersection between tourism, expeditions and hunting. This study contributes to a discrete history of masculinity within the context of trophy hunting organized from North Norway and to a broader understanding of Arctic masculinity. As trophy-hunting expeditions are primarily a male, even masculinist, practice, an analysis from a gender perspective is unavoidable. By taking an empirical approach I investigate performances of masculinity in written accounts of Arctic trophy-hunting expeditions from 1827–1914. The use of masculinity as a pivot demonstrates that a modification of the prevailing perception of Arctic masculinity is necessary. While the general understanding is dominated by an emphasis on physical strength, roughness, ingenuity, and self-realization, qualities connected to traditional knowledge of trappers, sailors and explorers, my analysis shows that trophy hunting introduced aristocratic ideals such as gentlemen’s sport, self-discipline, hunting morals, care for nature and knowledge to their home communities. Trophy hunting made possible performances of different forms of masculinity, not only the conquest and mastery of nature, but also the interest in and care for nature. Women accompanied as family members and hunters, and took part in the hunt more than has been commonly noted.

1827–1914 年的北极战利品猎人、旅游业和男子气概

摘要 北极的奖杯狩猎发生在旅游、探险和狩猎的交汇处。这项研究有助于在挪威北部组织的战利品狩猎的背景下对男性气质的离散历史以及对北极男性气质的更广泛理解做出贡献。由于奖杯狩猎探险主要是男性,甚至是男性主义者,因此从性别角度进行分析是不可避免的。通过采用实证方法,我调查了 1827 年至 1914 年北极战利品狩猎探险的书面记录中男性气质的表现。使用男性气质作为支点表明,有必要改变对北极男性气质的普遍看法。虽然一般的理解主要是强调体力、粗鲁、独创性和自我实现,与捕手、水手和探险家的传统知识相关的品质,我的分析表明,奖杯狩猎将贵族理想引入了他们的家乡社区,例如绅士运动、自律、狩猎道德、对自然的关心和知识。奖杯狩猎使不同形式的男子气概的表现成为可能,不仅是对自然的征服和掌握,还有对自然的兴趣和关怀。妇女作为家庭成员和猎人陪伴,并且比通常注意到的更多地参与狩猎。不仅是对自然的征服和掌握,还有对自然的兴趣和爱护。妇女作为家庭成员和猎人陪伴,并且比通常注意到的更多地参与狩猎。不仅是对自然的征服和掌握,还有对自然的兴趣和爱护。妇女作为家庭成员和猎人陪伴,并且比通常注意到的更多地参与狩猎。
