Conference Announcement - Exploring Domestic Spaces in the Circumpolar North
The Tromso Museum announces the "Exploring Domestic Spaces in the Circumpolar North" conference, to be held 2-4 October 2008, at the museum in Tromso, Norway.
The two-day seminar will explore the way that indigenous people create homes and homelands for themselves in the circumpolar north. The proceedings will be devoted to three main
themes:
- Enskillment
- Environmental markers of households
- Inscription of circumpolar populations
The seminar will consist of a set of public lectures by specialists on the cosmology and archaeology of circumpolar dwellings as well as the historical dynamics of households. The seminar will feature several modern and traditional dwellings from around the circumpolar north.
