reading an essay collection about the concept of winter which is pretty enjoyable but every time this guy mentions like. ‘northernness’ i go 😬😬 lets not get white supremacist with it here brother….
#like it isnt meant that way at all but sometimes hes veering one step to close in that direction unintentionally#it was written in 2011 and it IS a cbc massey lecture and i feel like they probably wouldnt let that sort of thing fly on there#but sometimes im like could you phrase this any differently#and he IS talking about winter being used as a nationalist concept in like 1700s northern europe which is neat#but he isn’t exactly critical of this yknow#which is funny because im taking a class rn abt polar life and the concept of northernness is our whole reason d’etre rn. and it’s fine#but a wide berth exists between my university class mostly focused on indigenous studies and. this random book i got for 2 dollars#but interestingly i am taking a class next year entitled ‘canada in winter’ im so on theme at all times huh#anyways this is a good book
