People in a changing Arctic environment

The paper will explore the sense of place in the Thule district, North-ern Greenland, including the emotional topography by which people live. The analytical framework is the notion of a nomadic land-scape, drawing from the essay on nomadology by Deleuze & Guattari (2004). The nomadic landscape is constituted by a network of spatial centres – or points of reference – from each of which an infinite spa-tial realm takes its beginning. The ambition is to demonstrate how, in a nomadic landscape, movement is integral to memory, sociabil-ity and experience; this is vital to the understanding of present day responses to the reduced mobility owing to changing weather and ice conditions in the Thule district
