Abstract

À la faveur de la dynamique générale de désenclavement du monde entamée dans les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, les Européens commencent à découvrir les régions septentrionales de leur continent. Le Nord froid, hostile et mystérieux émerge à l'horizon. Sa définition géographique longtemps floue se précise peu à peu au XVIIIe siècle pour désigner la Scandinavie ainsi que les régions arctiques et subarctiques allant du Groenland à la Sibérie. Au fil des siècles, la part persistante d'inconnu et d'exotisme du milieu naturel et des habitants explique que ces régions septentrionales continuent d'être envisagées avec intérêt et curiosité. Entre la fin du Moyen Âge et le XVIIIe siècle, la formulation d'interrogations et la construction de stéréotypes sur le Nord génèrent un discours ambigu sans cesse renouvelé. Il évolue en fonction du degré de connaissance, de l'expérience, de la culture et de l'enjeu que représente le traitement de cette région pour ses observateurs. Ainsi, l'imaginaire entourant le monde nordique se décline au fil des siècles sans perdre en intensité, car le Nord autant qu'un objet propre est aussi une toile sur laquelle se projettent des interrogations sur les confins du monde, de l'imaginaire ou de l'humanité. Les représentations du Nord se nourrissent elles-mêmes de leurs fantasmes pour construire un monde ambivalent dans lequel les rigueurs naturelles et le caractère primitif des populations n'abolissent ni le mythe de l'Ultima Thulé hyperboréenne aux habitants proches des dieux, ni celui de l'Arcadie nordique au sein de laquelle règne la douceur et la félicité.

Abstract

This first full-length study of the role of crusading in late-medieval and early modern Denmark from about 1400 to 1650 offers new perspectives to international crusade studies. The first part of the book proves that crusading had a tremendous impact on political and religious life in Scandinavia all through the Middle Ages. Danish kings argued in the fifteenth century that they had their own northern crusade frontier, which stretched across Scandinavia from Russia in the east well into the North Atlantic and Greenland in the west. A series of expeditions in the North Atlantic were considered to be crusades aimed at re-conquering Greenland as a stepping stone towards India and the realm of Prester John, which was argued to be originally Danish, adding a much neglected corner to the expansion of Christendom in this period. The second part shows that the impact of crusading continued long after the Reformation ostensibly should have put an end to its viability within Protestant Denmark.

Abstract

After his breathtaking, prize-winning photographs of the coast of Greenland in Broken Line, Olaf Otto Becker (*1959 in Travemünde) turns his attention to the interior of the island in his new series, Above Zero.&#13;&#13;Second only to Antarctica, Greenland has the most expansive continental ice sheet in the world. Becker’s spectacular portraits of this region are taken with a cumbersome and heavy large-format camera during physically strenuous, sometimes life-threatening tours among glacial crevasses and snowmelt flows. His photographic studies reveal the overwhelming beauty of this ice-covered landscape while at the same time documenting the existential threat to it, for even here, in this completely uninhabited region, human influences have fatal consequences: dust and soot in the air form black, crusty deposits that, in conjunction with global warming, accelerate the melting of the ice sheets—with no doubt unavoidable catastrophic results.

Abstract

"This book is the first annotated bibliography of Quaternary vertebrates of Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. It focuses on highlights (species mentioned, locality, geological age, stratigraphic positions, etc.) of more than 1300 items published for the most part between 1821 and 2000, dealing with the remains of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and, mainly, mammals that lived from about two million to five thousand years ago. A significant feature of the book is the extensive radiocarbon-date table - a first attempt to systematically and comprehensively record direct dates on vertebrate fossils from northern North America. Featuring more than 2000 dates listed by genus, species, date, laboratory number, locality, specimen, description, and references/remarks, this table will allow students of extinctions - particularly near the end of the Pleistocene about ten thousand years ago - a much clearer view of their nature and timing in northern North America."--Jacket

Abstract

"By means of a bottom-up approach involving cultural immersion, contextual, jurisprudential, and historical legal comparisons of Greenland and Nunavut, The Arctic Promise examines the forms, evolution, and scope of the right to autonomy in Arctic jurisdictions. Loukacheva argues that the right to autonomy should encompass or protect Inuit jurisdiction in legal systems and the administration of justice, and should allow the Inuit direct participation in international affairs where issues that affect their homelands are concerned. The Arctic Promise deals with areas of comparative constitutional law, international law, Aboriginal law, legal anthropology, political science, and international relations, using each to contribute to the understanding of the right to indigenous autonomy."--Jacket
