Полевой стационар, являясь переходным пунктом между унифицированным и очищенным пространством лаборатории и многообразными и уникальными пространствами «поля», представляет собой контролируемое, но четко не очерченное место, где можно получить доступ к природе и к ней «прикрепиться». Будучи жильем для приезжих ученых, полевые станции включены как в рутину и ритм повседневной жизни, так и в долгие циклы проживания, ветшания и восстановления. В этой статье рассматривается эмпирическое и концептуальное значения полевых станций в тропических и полярных широтах в качестве мест для научной работы и жизни ученых. Экстерриториальный, но в то же время домашний характер полевой станции влияет на достоверность знаний и их распространение вдоль фронтира науки. Задача создания дома в экстремальном поле, повседневный опыт экспатриации и апроприации определяют особую политическую динамику производства знания в этих местах. Обращаясь к полевым станциям, мы фокусируем внимание на образах природы и науки, которые питают транснациональные исследования и раскрывают эстетические и эмоциональные аспекты работы и жизни в этих далеких домах науки.

The field hospital, being a transitional point between the unified and purified laboratory space and the diverse and unique spaces of the "field", is a controlled, but not clearly defined place where one can access nature and "attach" to it. As housing for visiting scientists, field stations are included both in the routine and rhythm of daily life, as well as in long cycles of living, dilapidation and restoration. This article examines the empirical and conceptual significance of field stations in tropical and polar latitudes as places for scientific work and scientists' lives. The extraterritorial but at the same time homely nature of the field station affects the reliability of knowledge and its dissemination along the frontier of science. The task of creating a home in an extreme field, the everyday experience of expatriation and appropriation determine the special political dynamics of knowledge production in these places. Turning to the field stations, we focus on the images of nature and science that fuel transnational research and reveal the aesthetic and emotional aspects of working and living in these distant homes of science.
