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.
