| book description |
Creative visions of Arctic geography from Indigenous perspectives_x000D_ _x000D_ Grounded in the spatiality of Indigenous existence, Circumpolar Connections: Creative Indigenous Geographies of the Arctic is an innovatively foundational book about experiences and conceptions of geography in the circumpolar world. The book centers Arctic writers and artists as creators of space and disseminators of geographical knowledge emerging from Indigenous epistemologies. It collects newly commissioned poems, short stories, and essays that are accompanied by responses in the form of visual art – including paintings, photographs, and mixed media artworks – as well as brief academic reflections. Containing multiple languages - from English and Russian to North Sámi, Kalaallisut, and Sakha – as well as translations, the book is grounded in dialogues and conversations between creative practitioners from across the circumpolar North. Among others, they include Alutiiq, Eyak, Gwich'in, Innu, Inupiaq, Inuvialuk, Lingit, and Yup'ik writers and visual artists, alongside Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars. Extending ""geo-"" beyond earth and ""-graphy"" beyond writing, the creative geographies of Circumpolar Connections powerfully expand the Arctic into manifold spaces imagined by a multiplicity of Indigenous stories and aesthetic forms. In doing so, they offer circumpolar conversations that speak to Arctic communities while reaching out to global audiences._x000D_ _x000D_ [Sample Text]_x000D_ _x000D_ English language assimilation as a bite of sashimi_x000D_ _x000D_ it is like I am eating my own tongue_x000D_ cut precisely, a flesh triangle_x000D_ cool red bloodless_x000D_ and placed in my mouth_x000D_ I cannot speak_x000D_ it tastes like my own tongue_x000D_ salt and flesh_x000D_ I am eating my own tongue_x000D_ the weight of it
