ARCTIC ENCOUNTERS RESEARCHING WITH PROXIMITY ...

This open access book presents a series of speculative  experimental modes of inquiry in the
present times of environmental damage that have come to be known as the age of the
Anthropocene. Throughout the book authors develop more nuanced ways of engaging with the
environmentally vulnerable Arctic. They counter distancing  exoticising  and even apocalyptic
imaginaries of the Arctic by staying proximate with mundane places and beings of the north. The
volume engages and plays with familiar tourism concepts  such as hospitality  visiting 
difference  care  openness  and distance  while expanding the focus from binary and
human-centric approaches of hosts and guests to questions of wellbeing among multispecies
communities. The transdisciplinary group of contributors share a curiosity about how staying
proximate may provide theoretical depth and epistemological openings to attend to current
tensions and to diversify the ways we do and enact research. Thus  each chapter provides a
methodological experiment with proximity  developing diverse ways of envisioning and storying
more-than-human worlds.
