Multi-scale scenario building for community development: Exploring transport infrastructure futures in the Circumpolar North
The severe environment and remoteness of the Circumpolar North elevate transport infrastructure to a crucial factor in community development bridging global trends to local realities. Understanding plausible infrastructure futures is therefore key to robust development planning. To ensure realism and local relevance, scenario building requires a transdisciplinary approach. However, standard participatory methods are often hampered by practical co…
Scenarios and Ethnography: Infrastructural Futures as Windows into the Present
Large-scale infrastructures are typically part of development projects that are global in ambition and local in their impacts. While anthropology has a decent track record of using ethnographic methods in the study of infrastructure, it typically lacks the capacity to provoke statements or attitudes regarding larger development plans. Scenario workshops, initially developed by researchers in the field of foresight studies, turn out to be producti…

Introduction: Récits et temporalités des infrastructures au Canada
Approches anthropologiques des infrastructures L es infrastructures sont au cœur de nombreuses transformations sociales, évolutions socio-politiques et économiques, et des processus créatifs d'innovation.Elles sont devenues des indicateurs importants d'une transition continue vers un meilleur avenir, et des symboles de croissance économique, de progrès technologique et de modernisation.Comme l'affirment Harvey et Knox (2012, 523), les infrastruct…
Introduction: Narratives and Temporalities of Infrastructure in Canada
Approaches to InfrastructureI nfrastructures lie at the core of numerous social transformations, sociopolitical and economic developments, and creative processes of innovation.They have become significant indicators of an ongoing transition towards preferable futures, symbols of economic growth, technological advancement, and modernization.As Harvey and Knox (2012, 523) argue, infrastructures embody "promises of emancipatory modernity"-such as sp…
Infrastructural Disruption, Entanglement and Change in Northern Manitoba
Situated at the junction of boreal forest, Subarctic tundra, and Hudson Bay, the town of Churchill in northern Manitoba is unique for its transport infrastructure. With no road access, this community of 870 people hosts the only deep-water port on the Arctic Ocean connected to the North American rail network. Its airport, a legacy of military presence, supports a growing tourism economy. Churchill exists because of these infrastructures—and has c…
Framing Multipolar Tourism: Imaginaries, Visualities and Futures
This article examines multipolar iconography and how imaginaries of remote, climate-vulnerable places have materialized through improved transport, enhanced accommodation facilities, and increased human labor facilitating tourism. These imaginaries are perpetuated through technologies of visual culture, most commonly, through images taken on smartphones and circulated over social media platforms. We argue that a closer investigation and compariso…
Social Media: Power and Politics
By centering and unpacking the “social” in social media, anthropological scholarship has drawn on its disciplinary strengths in excavating the social, cultural, and everyday dimensions of mediated milieus, offering, in turn, some unique contributions toward understanding the political cultures and sociocultural ramifications of internet‐enabled social media. While social media have been the subject of intense scrutiny in other disciplines, anthro…

From marginalization to self-determined participation: Indigenous digital infrastructures and technology appropriation in northwestern Ontario’s remote communities
This article discusses, from an anthropological perspective, the utilization of digital infrastructures and technologies in the geographical and sociocultural contexts of indigenous Northwestern Ontario, Canada. By introducing the case of the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Kuh-ke-nah Network (KO-KNET) it analyses first how digital infrastructures not only connect First Nations people and communities but also enable relationships between local communitie…

Social Media in Remote First Nation Communities
Community resilience in First Nations includes ties to people both inside and outside the community, intergenerational communication, the sharing of stories, and family and community connectedness. This study, based on a survey of Internet users in the Sioux Lookout region of Northwestern Ontario, explores the link between social networking sites and community resilience. The region is home to some of the most isolated First Nation (indigenous) c…
