Living Stories of the Landscape: Perception of Place through Canoeing in Canada's North

Abstract: The paper examines the role of canoe tripping in creating, perceiving and sharing meanings of place and movement. Addressing concerns over the transitory nature of outdoor recreation activities, Ingold's dwelling perspective is used to draw connections between skill development and senses of place and movement. Narratives of place from an extended canoe expedition in northern Canada are presented and analysed in the context of the author's changing understanding of theory and practice. Outdoor recreation resea… Show more

“…Mullins (2009) and Reis and Shelton (2011) invoked a dwelling perspective to depict nature as deeply relational places in which humans, like other creatures, are embedded as active, skilled and perceiving bodies. Others have employed 'hybrid' ontologies to explore entanglements of tourist experience, materiality and non-human agency in place performance (Cloke & Perkins, 2005;Waitt & Cook, 2007).…”

“…Mullins (2009) noted that skills and activity influence place meanings. With the growing trend of people learning and using purposely built indoor climbing facilities (Attarian, 1999;The Outdoor Foundation, 2014) where climbing skills vary from outdoor skills, it would be intriguing to compare the place meaning of indoor and artificial facilities to meanings of outdoor settings to uncover similarities and differences.…”

“…The participants' experiences of time reflect slow travel where taking time out is a positive feature in which pauses, inactivity and the ability to respond to place encounters is valued (Dickinson, Lumsdon & Robbins, 2011). Palmer (cited in Mullins, 2009) argues that higher travel speeds negatively affect tourism's sustainability since learning about unique places and establishing personal relationships with destinations lie at the heart of sustainable tourism. However, the car provides flexibility and speed and while participants were keen to walk, cycle or use public transport, the benefits of the car can outweigh other modes.…”
