Zusatztext 'This interdisciplinary and international collection of essays brings together astute theoretical practice and detailed empirical investigation to shed light on the entanglement of place and mobility in the marginalized spaces of Northern Europe. In its refusal to privilege either the located or the mobile it is exemplary and should be read by all those interested in the geographies of place and mobility.' Tim Cresswell! University of London! UK 'This exciting collection of articles on mobility and place is topical in many senses. It shows at first! in the spirit of the emerging mobility paradigm! how these categories can be brought together and approached from various theoretical angles and concrete perspectives. Secondly! the book displays how social and cultural context makes a difference but also how these contexts are nowadays increasingly related to other contexts! processes and ideologies. While most articles in the book look at what might be labelled as Northern European peripheries! many contributions exceed dichotomies such as global-local! culture-nature or human-non-human. Leaning on approaches developed in human geography! sociology and anthropology! the book usefully takes steps towards interdisciplinary mobility studies.' Anssi Paasi! University of Oulu! Finland '...a welcome addition not only to social science scholarship on the geographical peripheries of northern Europe! but also to global scholarship on place! mobility! migration! and globalization.' Island Studies Journal '...an excellent contribution to the discussion in social sciences on how to capture ambiguities! tensions and processes in social reality. I will highly recommend it to academics and students at all levels in social science.' Geografiska Annaler 'The volume makes a useful contribution to the growing literature on mobility and place...a valuable read for social and cultural geographers and others interested in the complex relations between place and mobility.'

Zusammenfassung Focusing on the Northern European periphery, this book examines how people live in such remote spaces in an emerging global world of connectivity, interdependency, mobility and non-linear dynamics. It demonstrates how specific relationships between mobility and place are crucial in the making of societies and investigates their intersection; how they mutually constitute each other.
