The biopolitics of Arctic tourism development and sustainability by Aapo Lunden

“…By engaging with Foucault’s concept of heterotopia as spaces of exception based on deviation (alterity) and compensation (sustainability), the article further claims that it provides a valuable framework for analysing contemporary challenges and paradoxes of sustainability and tourism growth strategies in the Arctic. The article illustrates its main arguments by drawing examples of Arctification from Finnish Lapland.…”

The Reader at Play in “Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story” by Paul Auster by Linda Collinge-Germain

“…Though Paul Auster, in spite of his spending several years in France, most probably had no contact with Picard’s essay, his story “Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story,” published on December 25, 1990 in The New York Times, seems, uncannily, nearly an illustration of the theory of “Reading as Play” as both in its form and its content the story problematizes the dialectics of participation and distancing inherent in the literary reading process defined by Picard.…”
