Paperback. Condition: New. In North Pole, Michael Bravo explains how visions of the North Pole have been supremely important to the world's cultures and political leaders, from Alexander the Great to neo-Hindu nationalists. Tracing poles and polarity back to sacred ancient civilizations, this book explores how the idea of a North Pole has given rise to utopias, satires, fantasies, paradoxes and nationalist ideologies, from the Renaissance to the Third Reich.The Victorian conceit of the polar regions as a vast empty wilderness, and the preserve of white males battling against the elements, was far from the only polar vision. Michael Bravo shows an alternative set of pictures, of a habitable Arctic criss-crossed by densely connected networks of Inuit routes, rich and dense in cultural meanings. In Western and Eastern cultures, theories of a sacred North Pole abound. Visions of paradise and a lost Eden have mingled freely with the imperial visions of Europe and the United States. Forebodings of failure and catastrophe have been companions to tales of conquest and redemption. Michael Bravo shows that visions of a sacred or living pole can help humanity understand its twenty-first-century predicament, but only by understanding the pole's deeper history.

114 pages : illustrations (some color), maps ; 25 cm. Abstract:Comprises five essays exploring influence of technology on autonomy of Arctic peoples. Notes that technology complexes form basis of adaptive systems that have enabled indigenous peoples (e.g. Inuit) to live strategically and flexibility. Argues that absence of these qualities and increasing reliance on Western technological systems leads to loss of flexibility and responsiveness that endangers capacity to survive unprecedented change. Contents: Introduction / Michael Bravo with Nicola Triscott Critical art and intervention in the technologies of the Arctic / Nicola Triscott Building autonomy through experiments in technology and skill / Michael Bravo Traveling through layers: Inuit artists appropriate new technologies / Katarina Soukup Trails and tales: multiple stories of human movement and modernity / David Turnbull Post-Cold War Arctic geopolitics: where are the people and the environment? / Lassi Heininen.
