Learning About Landmarks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:24, 2 January 2025

Landmarks are defining features in the land that traditionally play an important role in Inuit topographical understandings of their land and its resources. They are important orienting features to keep one's bearing while travelling and to determine where one is located at any given moment. As a figure in this knowledge-land-scape they perform a more immediate materialization of certain findings and insights along the way. They are not always obvious when you follow only the three main cuts of the knowledge-land-scape. They rather reveal themselves in response to specific invitations, practices or actions taken. As such, the insight that these landmarks have to offer are always particular to the paths and trails that lead towards them, and their meaning materializes in relation to where you come from, where are you going and what decisions you have made on the way. Like on the land, landmarks look different depending on from which vantage point you encounter them.

As you have approached this specific landmark to take a closer look, you can’t help but noticing that you have many questions about me -the author-, the choices that I have made, and the methods that I have chosen to share my research. “Stay with the Trouble” to learn more on how to deal with such questions.

-Landmarks perform emergent insights in response to tracing and threading certain sequential actions or practices. As you are re-redirected by pressure ridges and enticed to trail-off along certain sidetracks, you are presented with particular insights. These insights are directly connected to your responsive and immersive engagement with other agents of the KLS. Did you partake in coffee breaks, bingo, trying country food, and give people rides? To the dump for example? Or to get ice? This is where much emergent insights on ethical engagement can be encountered- and as such they are almost exclusively presented at side-trails, or along pressure ridges.
