L'Arctique, de l'Alaska au Nunavut : regards croisés de trois femmes engagées

The Arctic evokes a powerful image, one of vast white expanses, silence, and extreme landscapes. But behind these representations lies an inhabited world, fragile, alive, and composed of many fragments. In this encounter, the language of the cold intertwines, and the Arctic experience unfolds through three narratives, three complementary and committed perspectives: archaeology, writing, and ecology. A unique account of the latest research conducted in Alaska, at the Yup'ik village of Quinhagak and the Nunalleq archaeological site, and in Nunavut, on Bylot Island and the Inuit village of Pond Inlet.
