The spaces of nature: Introduction
The articles in this section aim at critical reappraisal of space from the viewpoint of the materiality of human action which is underpinned by a special focus on its dealings with nature. Space is primarily viewed by others than geographers and/or from outside Scandinavian and Anglo‐American research. The role of language and culture, as well as using the possibilities of ecosemiotics grown out of the Tartu–Moscow school, is highlighted in an at…
Permanence of the Family Farm Questioned: Rural Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century Estonia and Sweden
The family farm has symbolic significance in many parts of the world. In this paper we argue that the “rooted” identity of the farmer emerged as a reaction to rapid modernization in society and that, in actual fact, the nineteenth century rural communities were both geographically and socially mobile. We examine how kinship ties were expressed in spatial terms with the help of two examples from Harjumaa in north Estonia and Västergötland in south…

Mapping future through the study of the past and present: Estonian suburbia
Maps of meaning: Landscapes on the map and in the mind – discovering Paldiski, estonia
The article explores relationships between representations (maps) and the represented (landscape), focusing on the role of maps in creating places and as devices in the generation and manipulation of knowledge. The production and use of maps is seen as part of power relations in society, referred to in Foucault's term as ‘games of strategy’, including dominance and control of the natural environment and the social system, but also resistance to a…
Emerging, submerging and persisting ideas: Is there social and cultural geography in Estonia
Estonian heritage connections-people, past and place: The Pakri Peninsula
The article focuses on the meaning of heritage, especially on its connection to time, space and people, and is concerned with signification, representation and identity at a national scale. Key questions are how the image of Estonianness creates national heritage out of diverse legacies and how these messages fit the local circumstances. This is examined in the case of Paldiski, a small town on the Pakri Peninsula west of the Estonian capital Tal…
