Description
This book approaches the challenges the Arctic has faced and is facing through a lens of opportunity. Through pinpointed examples from and dealing with the Circumpolar North, the Arctic is depicted as a region where people and peoples have managed to endure despite significant challenges at hand. This book treats the âArctic of disastersâ as an innovated narrative and asks how the âdisaster piecesâ of Arctic discourse interact with the ability of Arctic peoples, communities and regions to counter disaster, adversity, and doom. While not neglecting the scientifically established challenges associated with climate change and other (potentially) disastrous processes in the north, this book calls for a paradigm shift from perceiving the âArctic of disastersâ to an âArctic of triumphâ. Particular attention is therefore given to selected Arctic achievements that underline âtriumphantâ developments in the north, even when Arctic triumph and disaster intersect.
