The Kemi River is the major watercourse in the Finnish province of
Lapland and the »stream of life« for the inhabitants of its
banks. Franz Krause examines fishing, transport and hydropower on
the Kemi River and analyses the profoundly rhythmic patterns in the
river dwellers' activities and the river's dynamics. The course of
the seasons and weekly and daily rhythms of discharge, temperature,
work and other patterns make the river dwellers' world an
ever-transforming phenomenon. The flows of life and the frictions
of everyday encounters continually remake the river and its
inhabitants, negotiating national strategies, economic power,
people's ingenuity, and the currents of the Kemi River.
