🖤 [ÉCHO] Disparition d'un "géant" des mondes polaires et de l'ethnologie moderne. Jean Malaurie, explorateur, scientifique et aventurier, avait réalisé 31 missions dans le cercle Arctique, du Groenland à la Sibérie. 👉 https://urlr.me/szRHd

SA BIO EXPRESSE 👉 Jean Malaurie (1922-2024) Explorateur spécialiste des régions arctiques et anthropo-géographe (comme il aimait à se définir), Jean Malaurie a d'abord étudié la géomorphologie avant de se joindre en 1948 au Groenland à une expédition conduite par Paul-Émile Victor.

Le Grand Nord et ses habitants vont dès lors devenir son domaine d'étude. Directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS, Jean Malaurie va ensuite diriger le Centre d'Études Arctiques à l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.

La première chaire de géographie polaire est créée pour lui en 1957 par le grand historien Fernand Braudel.

Parallèlement, il fonde et dirige la célèbre collection Terre Humaine chez Plon éditions.

Scientifique engagé et écrivain de renom, Jean Malaurie va publier de nombreux ouvrages, dont des best-sellers comme Les Derniers rois de Thulé (1955), traduit en 23 langues, Ultima Thulé (1990), L'Appel du Nord (2001) ou encore Hummocks (2003-2005), tous consacrés (comme ses 9 films) au Groenland et à ses eskimos.

Président d’honneur à vie de l'Académie Polaire à Saint-Pétersbourg, docteur Honoris Causa de l'Université d'État de Saint-Pétersbourg Ambassadeur de Bonne Volonté pour les régions polaires arctiques à l’Unesco, Jean Malaurie a accumulé les prix et les distinctions en France comme à l’étranger.

Un "géant" de l'exploration vient de disparaitre.

Seeing a lot of posts about the Palestinian flag, and it got me thinking about indigenous flags around the world.

Māori:

Kalaallit Nunaat:

Haudenosaunee

Nunatsiavut:

Australian Aboriginal:

Torres Strait Islands:

Rapa Nui:

Kurdistan:

Sami:

Ainu:

Of course, these are just a handful. May they all reclaim their stolen lands.

I'm still fucking thinking about people advocating neo-Confucian ~extended family~ as a better alternative to western nuclear family. like girl i know there's that assumption that everyone is a white yankee but have you literally never talked to anyone who grew up in a family like that?

our barbarous system where children are the property of their parents vs their glorious system where children are the property of their parents (mystical oriental)

it's like that broader thing where people try and thin down a criticism like "you mean organised religion", "white western nuclear family", "this is such a white people thing" etc to try and weasel their way out of association with an issue.

Misogyny is not a western invention lol, the way it manifests in a lot of societies is a product of certain cultural manifestations of misogyny being exported elsewhere, but the control and ownership of women is not a "white people thing" or a western thing.

the issues of the family are not limited to the anglo saxon protestant yankee middle class nuclear family, misogyny is not unique to one group of people, racism is not unique to one group of people, homophobia is not unique to one group of people, terfs are not all middle class white women, etc etc etc etc

it's just so frustrating and kills any fucking attempt to actually talk about issues because they get drowned out with people appending on specific identities as if that issue is unique to one fucking group of people and the rest of the world is sunshine and rainbows.

NORTH OF NORTH (2025) costume appreciation: "Inuk Bridgerton" (Series Costume Design by Debra Hanson)

Is it wrong that I'm thinking 'ohh, that's why Davis is like that' from Corner Gas

i learned that the Inughuit (aka Polar Eskimos) lived in such extreme isolation prior to being contacted by Europeans in 1818 that they were unaware of the existence of other humans, including other Inuits. Due to their isolation they had lost various technologies such as boats and bow and arrows (x)

Katara 🌊!!!

This urge to draw her probally came from the new atla live action. Idk if it's going to be good becuse my expectations are lowering with every new information we get. And i hate the whole art direction of the series. And don't even get me started on the costumes.

But putting that aside, ever since i watched atla 2 years ago, i couldn't wait to draw all the characters in digital medium ( : And here I am, finnaly doing so.

The patterns, tattos and jewerly are inspired by inuit coulture ( i know its not really accurate).

Anyway, I hope you like this piece

I'm sorry I just need a moment to gush over this dress in North of North because IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT

"Explorando los Extremos: Un Viaje a los Países Más Fríos del Mundo"

[doesephs]

it’s always ‘inuit inspired’, girl just admit you can’t be bothered to open google

[neechees]

I've talked about how White artists get a lot more attention for their nonwhite OC's, and White artists get a lot more praise for drawing ""accurate"" depictions of racialized cultures versus people from those cultures accurately depicting themselves, but there's also this phenomenon that I think it stems from where certain artists (a lot of them White, but it's not exclusive to them at all) will go through some effort of research to depict a specific demographic in an art piece, but not out of a real desire to be accurate.

One example frequently is when People just slap tuuniit on the ATLA Water Tribe characters to give off the impression of being "more accurate" but they clearly don't know anything and didn't do enough research outside of copying photos of Inuit from google, because we frequently end up with artists depicting the 14 year old Katara with tattoos that, in Inuit culture, signify she is already married and has multiple children

(Sticking with a Native perspective bc I'm ndn), A lot of the time I truly think there's Artists that care more about looking more "progressive" to other moniyaws by depicting Native aesthetics they don't actually understand or know anything about, because to other people (their audience who is not Native) it looks more "accurate", even when it's not. It's an ignorant artist presenting vague Native aesthetics to an ignorant audience for brownie points, because this brave, white knight artist was so wonderful as to not draw them as an overtly racist caricature (lucky us /s)

Because there's 1 of 2 ways artists will react:

Stop immediately and correct their inaccuracies and listen to the depicted demographic when we say what theyve drawn is inaccurate (which these artists claim to want to be, they claim to want to be accurate) and/or insensitive. This is the correct reaction if one claims to be anti-racist & wishes to be accurate in their artistic depictions.

Outright say or imply that the people from the demographic they're depicting is wrong actually and is being "too sensitive", that "its just art", or "its just fantasy", which proves my point that they've drawn this out of a desire to be SEEN as "progressive" for using vague aesthetics that, to a White/ignorant audience from outside of the culture being depicted, simply APPEAR more "accurate" and "authentic"

Like these artists aren't doing this out of a desire to be accurate or culturally sensitive, it's out of a desire for praise & brownie points from other moniyaws for having done it.
