Architectures of domestication:on emplacing human-animal relations in the North
This article explores human-animal relationships in the North by calling for renewed attention to the infrastructures and architectures, which inscribe them. We draw attention to the self-limiting quality of Arctic architectures that are designed to emphasize mutual autonomy. This approach challenge...
