On Architecture and Erasure: The Arctic Case This lecture examines the post-World War II history of resistance to displacement and forced relocation in the Arctic region. The focus is on the attempted erasure of land-care practices and landscape imageries that accompanied the militarization, modernization, and urbanization of the Arctic after the war. On one hand, the lecture analyzes the projects that promoted assimilation, curtailed free movement, and severed cultural ties and networks of kin relation. On the other hand, it investigates the role played by local and Indigenous voices, activists, and transnational solidarity in the fight against land separation. The shift of focus to collective memory, Indigenous testimonies, and tangible and intangible heritage challenges existing interpretations of post-war architectural history and historiography and it questions contemporary disciplinary ideas of authorship and canon.
