| Summary: | Abstract From the preceding discussion of space and spatial practices in Iceland we shall now turn towards the people practising. The attempt is to understand how people, and here Icelanders, contribute to history through their daily practices, and how the world becomes embodied in them, on the assumption that there is a relation of mutual embeddedness between people and their world. It is the dynamics of this mutuality within the local community which is in focus in the present chapter. |
