ABSTRACT The arrival into geography, and especially urban geography, of a frame of questioning coming from postcolonial studies has contributed to a fascinating debate about what a “postcolonial” city is and how the urban duality between ethnically, socially, and spatially segregated “European” towns and “native” settlements is being reformulated and transformed. Obviously, Arctic cities are not postcolonial in the political sense of being independent from the former colonial centre – although this process may be under way in Greenland – but they have seen a progressive move from a Eurocentric culture toward greater hybridization. This article looks into two new trends that contribute to making Arctic cities postcolonial: first, the arrival of indigenous peoples in cities and the concomitant diminution of the division between Europeans/urbanites and natives/rurals; and second, the arrival of labour migrants from abroad, which has given birth to a more plural and cosmopolitan citizenry. It advances the idea that Arctic cities are now in a position to play a “decolonizing” role, in the sense of progressively erasing the purely European aspect of the city and making it both more local and rooted (through indigenous communities) and more global and multicultural (through foreign labour migrants).

后殖民极地城市?北极地区新的土著和国际都市化
摘要 来自后殖民研究的问题框架进入地理学,尤其是城市地理学,引发了一场关于“后殖民”城市是什么以及种族、社会和空间隔离的“欧洲”城市之间的城市二元性如何的引人入胜的辩论。城镇和“原住民”定居点正在重新规划和改造。显然,北极城市在独立于前殖民中心的政治意义上并不是后殖民——尽管这一过程可能正在格陵兰进行——但它们已经看到了从以欧洲为中心的文化向更大程度混合的渐进式转变。本文探讨了有助于使北极城市成为后殖民时代的两个新趋势:第一,原住民进入城市,欧洲人/城市人与当地人/农村人之间的鸿沟随之缩小;其次,来自国外的劳工移民的到来,催生了更加多元化和国际化的公民。它提出了北极城市现在能够发挥“非殖民化”作用的观点,即逐步消除城市纯粹的欧洲方面,使其更加本土化和扎根(通过土著社区),更加全球化和多元文化(通过外国劳工移民)。
