Produktbeschreibung

Tundra Tags Track explores the intersection of Sami reindeer herding traditions and modern technology in the Arctic. It investigates how innovations like GPS tracking and drones are reshaping a centuries-old way of life. The book highlights the potential benefits and challenges of integrating technology into Indigenous practices, emphasizing the importance of respecting Sami cultural values. Did you know that GPS tracking helps herders monitor reindeer movements, optimizing grazing and reducing losses from climate change or predators?
Or that drones enable efficient herd management across vast, inaccessible terrains? The book examines how digital communication impacts cultural preservation and intergenerational knowledge transfer. It argues that technology, when thoughtfully implemented, can support sustainable reindeer herding. However, it also cautions against the uncritical adoption of technology. Using a mixed-methods approach, combining fieldwork with quantitative data, the authors provide a nuanced understanding. The book begins by introducing the history and cultural significance of Sami reindeer herding. It then delves into specific technological applications, and concludes with a discussion of the ethical implications. Tundra Tags Track offers recommendations for responsible innovation, bridging social science, technology studies, and environmental science. It will appeal to those interested in Indigenous studies, Arctic affairs, and the impact of technology on society.
