This open access book presents a series of speculative,
experimental modes of inquiry in the present times of environmental
damage that have come to be known as the age of the Anthropocene.
Throughout the book authors develop more nuanced ways of engaging
with the environmentally vulnerable Arctic. It counters distancing,
exoticising, and even apocalyptic imaginaries of the Arctic by
staying proximate with mundane places and beings of the north. The
volume engages and plays with familiar tourism concepts, such as
hospitality, visiting, difference, care, openness, and distance,
while expanding the focus from binary and human-centric approaches
of hosts and guests to questions of wellbeing among multispecies
communities. The transdisciplinary group of contributors share a
curiosity about how staying proximate may provide theoretical depth
and epistemological openings to attend to current tensions and to
diversify the ways we do and enact research. Thus, each chapter
provides a methodological experiment with proximity, developing
diverse ways of envisioning and storying more-than-human
worlds.  Â
