Both fictional and non-fictional accounts of the Arctic have long
been a major source of powerful images of the region, and have thus
had a crucial part to play in the history of human activities
there. This volume provides a wide-reaching investigation into the
discourses involved in such accounts, above all into the
consolidation of a discourse of "Arcticism" (modelled on Edward
Said's concept of "Orientalism"), but also into the many
intersecting discourses of imperialism, nationalism, masculinity,
modernity, geography, science, race, ecology, indigeneity,
aesthetics, etc.Perspectives originating from inside and outside
the Arctic, along with hybrid positions, are examined, with special
attention being given to the textual genres, narratives and figures
which they mobilize, together with to the close relationship
between the Arctic as an unknown place and the literary
imagination.The different chapters address a wide geographical
range of texts, providing a necessary supplement to most previous
work in the field, and also address the wide variety of genres
which flourish under the aegis of Arctic discourse, ranging from
exploration accounts, travel-writing, political texts and
journalism through diaries and historical documents to novels and
novelizations, and including also other media, such as music and
opera.
