ARCTIC ENCOUNTERS MOBILITIES ON THE MARGINS K...

This open access book examines places on the margins and the dynamics through which a marginal
position of a place is created. Specifically  it explores how places  mostly in sparsely
populated areas  often perceived as immobile and frozen in time  come into being and develop
through interference of everyday mobilities and creative practices that cut across the spheres
of culture and nature as usually defined. Through fieldwork and case studies from areas in
Iceland  Finland  Greenland  and Scotland  the book's twelve chapters draw out the multiple
relations through which places emerge  where people compose their lives as best they can with
their surroundings. A special concern is to explore the links between travelling  landscape 
and material culture and how places and margins are enacted through mobilities and creative
practices of humans and other beings. The emphasis on mobility disturbs the perception of a
place as a bounded entity and offers a useful and necessary understanding of places as mobile
and fluid. Mobilities on the Margins is a novel and timely contribution to the exploration of
human and more-than-human interactions in a world of increasingly fluid mobilities and
insistent crises.
