The book addresses the relationship between the literary
representations of North Greenland and the Inughuit people in Knud
Rasmussen's expedition accounts The New People and My Travel Diary
and the historical process of Danish colonization of North
Greenland. The aim of reading both works is to demonstrate the
ambivalence in representing North Greenland and the Inughuit, and,
through this, to prove the existence of common mechanisms and
cultural practices connected to mapping of the Other in a situation
of asymmetric power relations. Applying a textual approach founded
on colonial discourse analysis, the reading proves that literary
mappings of geography and identity can never be stable, as they are
in the state of constant transformation, perpetually
recontextualized and reinvented.
