Description
Summary:Antarcticness is a collection of academic papers, essays, travelogues, poetry, and photography about Antarctica. It is the sister project of Arcticness, by the same editor (Kelman 2017). The book starts with premise that the three main uses of Antarctica are science, tourism, and exploitation (p.1-2), but then evolves to embrace a much wider scope, relating Antarctica with politics, history, and some unexpected themes such as culture, philosophy, and spirituality.
