One catchphrase currently being used to describe these new colonialisms is ‘the scramble for the Arctic‘. This cross-disciplinary study, featuring contributions from an international team of experts in the field, offers a set of broadly postcolonial perspectives on the European Arctic, which is taken here as ranging from Greenland and Iceland in the North Atlantic to the upper regions of Norway and Sweden in the European High North..While the contributors acknowledge the renewed scramble for resources that characterises the region, it also argues the need to ‘unscramble‘ the Arctic, wresting it away from its persistent status as a fixed object of western control and knowledge. Instead, the book encourages a reassertion of micro-histories of Arctic space and territory that complicate western grand narratives of technological progress, politico-economic development, and ecological ‘state change‘. It will be of interest to scholars of Arctic Studies across all disciplines.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Postcolonial; Culture; Geography; Politics; Environment; Nordic; Arctic Studies; Denmark; Norway; Colonalism; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-58817-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-58817-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
