| Summary: | The mediated Arctic analyzes the multiple relations between geography and cultural production that have long shaped and are currently transforming the circumpolar world. It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticize various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney's Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analyzed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity. |
