Dogs in the North. Stories of Cooperation and Co-Domestication

Abstract

Initiated by the finding that 'the master narrative for domestication has ignored the North' (p. 2), the thirteen contributions from the disciplines of anthropology, archaeology, biology, cultural history and geography focus on historically developed relations between humans and dogs in regions around the North Pole. The volume is an outcome of the European Research Council Advanced Grant for Arctic Domestication: Emplacing Human-Animal Relationships in the Circumpolar North (Arctic Domus).
