Book Synopsis Do You See Ice? by : Karen Routledge
Download or read book Do You See Ice? written by Karen Routledge and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans imagine the Arctic as harsh, freezing, and nearly uninhabitable. The living Arctic, however—the one experienced by native Inuit and others who work and travel there—is a diverse region shaped by much more than stereotype and mythology. Do You See Ice? presents a history of Arctic encounters from 1850 to 1920 based on Inuit and American accounts, revealing how people made sense of new or changing environments. Routledge vividly depicts the experiences of American whalers and explorers in Inuit homelands. Conversely, she relates stories of Inuit who traveled to the northeastern United States and were similarly challenged by the norms, practices, and weather they found there. Standing apart from earlier books of Arctic cultural research—which tend to focus on either Western expeditions or Inuit life—Do You See Ice? explores relationships between these two groups in a range of northern and temperate locations. Based on archival research and conversations with Inuit Elders and experts, Routledge’s book is grounded by ideas of home: how Inuit and Americans often experienced each other’s countries as dangerous and inhospitable, how they tried to feel at home in unfamiliar places, and why these feelings and experiences continue to resonate today. The author intends to donate all royalties from this book to the Elders’ Room at the Angmarlik Center in Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

Book Synopsis Shifting Toponymies by : Luisa Caiazzo
Download or read book Shifting Toponymies written by Luisa Caiazzo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from being objective and static pointers, place-names are dynamic tools of inscription used to (re)shape both our surroundings and our identities. This book examines the shifting tides in the complex relationship between places, identities, and toponyms to unveil the multilayered embeddedness of (re)naming practices. The volume presents original contributions to this rich field of enquiry, and fosters a multidisciplinary approach in exploring the broad theme of (re)naming and identity. Ranging from theoretical discussions to in-depth case studies, the chapters featured here investigate the often controversial, but ever-fascinating, relationship between toponyms and identity. As a privileged medium of expression, place-names constitute both an instrument and a vehicle for conveying identity, values, and visions of the world across space and time. The multifaceted geopolitical, historical, and linguistic issues tackled here make this volume a valuable resource to academics and postgraduate students from a broad spectrum of disciplines, including onomastics and linguistics, sociology, history, government planning and policy, Holocaust studies, postcolonial studies, and media studies.
Book Synopsis An Extraordinary Journey for an Ordinary Cameron Man by : Donald Cameron
Download or read book An Extraordinary Journey for an Ordinary Cameron Man written by Donald Cameron and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the journey of Donald Leslie Cameron, a Scotsman who left home at seventeen to work in the remote regions of Arctic Canada for the Hudson’s Bay Co. Skipping from island to island in the remotest outposts of the Canadian Arctic, Cameron’s career brings him into contact with the fur traders and fishermen of the Inuit First Nations, with the adventurous men and women who populate the northernmost towns, and eventually, with the love of his life. Along the way, Cameron learns the trade of retailing and fur-buying as a manager for the Hudson’s Bay Co, rising through the ranks of the corporation and traveling half of Canada’s northern expanse. The work was prompted by Cameron’s large family of six children, thirty-eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren to capture the sense of accomplishment, to tell the tale of his adventure, and to preserve his part of the history and geography of Northern Canada.

Book Synopsis An Intimate Wilderness by : Norman Hallendy
Download or read book An Intimate Wilderness written by Norman Hallendy and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 999 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arctic researcher, author, and photographer Norman Hallendy’s journey to the far north began in 1958, when many Inuit, who traditionally lived on the land, were moving to permanent settlements created by the Canadian government. In this unique memoir, Hallendy writes of his adventures, experiences with strange Arctic phenomena, encounters with wildlife, and deep friendships with Inuit elders. Very few have worked so closely with the Inuit to document their traditions, and, in this book, Hallendy preserves their voices and paints an incomparable portrait of a vibrant culture in a remote landscape.
Book Synopsis Resurgence of Global Populism by : Karyne E. Messina
Download or read book Resurgence of Global Populism written by Karyne E. Messina and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resurgence of Global Populism provides a psychoanalytic perspective to the global implications of the populist movement in the U.S. and its relationship to other parts of the world, particularly focusing on the presidency and legacy of Donald Trump. The book explores Trump’s use of psychological form of manipulation known as projective identification and how his use of this defense mechanism has influenced global institutions, political discourse, and quality of life in the long term. Messina explores the correlation between Trump’s rhetoric and an increase in reported racism and prejudiced violence worldwide, disintegration of global values, and a radicalized political climate. She analyzes the dynamics between Trump and his supporters, political opponents, and successors, considers the COVID-19 pandemic as a study of Trump’s views of the world, and considers the roles of social and television media. The book concludes with an explanation of antidotes to projective identification, including thoughtful debate and meaningful discussions and scripted dialogues for global healing. This insightful book will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, academics and students of political psychology and political movements, and readers interested in a deeper analysis of populism and political dynamics.

Download or read book Tukiliit written by Norman Hallendy and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries, Inuit and their ancestors have been building beautiful rock structures across the Arctic and sub Arctic world, for a wide variety of reasons. Some show respect for a place or love for a person, or act as abodes for spirits when they visit the human world. Others have more banal uses, such as marking food caches or fishing or hunting spots or acting as landmarks for hunters or other travellers moving vast distances across the featureless tundra. As well as having many uses, these mysterious stone figures have many names; the best known is inuksuk (plural inuksuit), which means “that which acts in the capacity of a human.” But not all Inuit stone figures are inuksuit; a better general word is tukilik (plural tukiliit), literally “they have meaning.” In Inuktitut, this refers to all meaningful stone objects, whatever or wherever they may be, anywhere in the world. Tukiliit: The Stone People Who Live in the Wind is a companion to Inuksuit: Silent Messengers of the Arctic, Norman Hallendy's first book and the first serious study of these stone figures.
