Greenland, including the emotional topography by which people
live. The analytical framework is the notion of a nomadic landscape,
drawing from the essay on nomadology by Deleuze & Guattari
(2004). The nomadic landscape is constituted by a network of spatial
centres – or points of reference – from each of which an infinite spatial
realm takes its beginning. The ambition is to demonstrate how,
in a nomadic landscape, movement is integral to memory, sociability
and experience; this is vital to the understanding of present day
responses to the reduced mobility owing to changing weather and
ice conditions in the Thule district. | | >> download as pdf |
