This reflection is based on the Inuit’s agentivity in this controversy since the moral dimension of the seal hunting issue has contributed to making their voice inaudible and has effectively affected their communities. The subaltern Inuit counter-narrative contributes to grasping the unthought of the dominant discourses in the media sphere and challenges us with regard to the representations of a practice deemed immoral by some, but held as perfectly ethical by others. |
