Abstract:
|
While climate change dominates much of the political discursive landscape, it is also a topic of key narratives among people who are witnessing its effects. One such place is in the Canadian Arctic territory of Nunavut. This study proposes to investigate narratives of climate change among some Inuit on Baffin Island using cultural discourse analysis. This analysis leads to findings relating these narratives of climate change to cultural premises of personhood, identity, and dwelling. |
