‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North (2017)

Steinberg, P., & Kristoffersen, B. (2017). ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 42(4), 625-641. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12184

This paper explores how ‘ice’ is woven into the spaces and practices of the state in Norway and Canada and, specifically, how representations of the sea ice edge become political agents in that process. We focus in particular on how these states have... Read More about ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North.

A large body of literature problematises the role of the Mediterranean, as both civilisational hearth and liminal frontier, in both ancient and modern Europe. However, much less attention has been directed to the inland sea at Europe's northern edge:... Read More about Europe's ‘Others’ in the Polar Mediterranean.
