“…I wish to contend that working through theses images is a hierarchy of racial difference at the top of which sits an idealized wilderness synonymous with both the Canadian north and nationhood refracted through and constituted by categories of race, class and gender (Grace 2002; Hulan 2002; Mawani 2007). A full genealogy of “Canadian wilderness” and its classed, raced and gendered expressions, lies well beyond the scope of this article.…”

Critical geographers have paid remarkably scant attention to issues of climate change, even less so to forest carbon management policy. Building on geographic debate concerning the ontological production of nature and race, this paper argues that at stake in the climate change debate are not simply questions of energy geopolitics or green production. Also at issue in the climate debate are powerful questions of identity, the national form and race. This paper considers how a particular slice of the climate debate -forest carbon management discourse pertaining to Canada's boreal forest -enacts a political geography of racial difference, one that seeks to accommodate an imagined mode of traditional aboriginal life to the exigencies of global climate change mitigation and, importantly, to a logic of global capital now well into its ecological phase.

“…Canada's distinct national image is often times centered on romantic (and inaccurate) depictions of Canada as a barren uninhabited North -something that Canadians must push themselves to overcome. Hulan (2002) states that the North (like ice hockey) has been a defining feature of national identity since confederation. Within the Canadian psyche, the North works to mythologically define the entire nation.…”

In this article, I will explore how Canadian national identity is constructed with regard to ice hockey. National Hockey League (NHL) star, Sidney Crosby has been positioned as an important symbol of Canadian national identity. Given Crosby’s perceived importance, particularly within the Canadian media, I will examine how he is constructed as an appropriate model of Canadian masculinity and Canadian national identity. Crosby’s expressions of masculinity are not to be left to chance and for that reason there has been constant surveillance and critique of his expressions of masculinity. Interestingly, although the media tends to construct Crosby as a model of Canadian masculine identity, fans of the game (as well as some players and others in the media) frequently challenge this construction.

“…The role of stories—from the informal exchanges of interpersonal conversation to the great metanarratives shaping broader cultural discourse—in producing Arctic geographies is not well understood. Scholars such as Renée Hulan (2002), John Moss (1997), Lisa Bloom (1993) and Sherrill Grace (2002) have called attention to the extraordinarily storied nature of the region and have made important headway in identifying particular tropes dominating Arctic narratives. Their interest, however, has been primarily in the Arctic as an imagined place and not so much as a place in which people live and work, or as a place with complex ties to globalized capital, international political movements, and rapid environmental change.…”
