  • Staithes and Port Mulgrave
    Staithes and Port Mulgrave Fishing at Staithes Staithes might be well known to visitors and tourists today, but it owes its existence to the fishing industry which, in its heyday, employed 300 men and se supported 120 boats. The women played an active part in the work, helping sh, cliff s and as with repairing nets, baiting hooks and launching boats. When the railway Fi opened in 1885, three trains per week transported Staithes fish to British cities. At the turn of the twentieth century steam trawlers from larger ports killed the locals’ livelihood, until only one full-time fisherman remained in the village. However, in recent years fishing has revived its fortunes in Staithes (particularly lobster fishing) and the seafaring tradition is still strong, with traditional flat- et some sea air on this 4-mile circular walk, starting at the atmospheric old bottomed, high-bowed boats called ‘cobles’ setting out from the harbour, as Gfishing village of Staithes, with its harbourside cottages, cobbled streets they have for centuries. and winding alleys.

  • Trip to Lofoten
    7ULSWR/RIRWHQ :KHQ29th June --- 5th July :KRXiaomeng, Jinghai and my colleague Darius couple. Starting from Trondheim, we drove our Toyota on a one-week trip along the northern part of Norway, to Lofoten and return. Lofoten is said to be one of Norway’s most scenic holiday des- tinations, where you can see towering mountains with pointed peaks standing right in the mid- dle of the sea. It is an archipelago in the ocean, north of the Article Circle. I will describe my journey in a considerably detailed way, so that others can follow some of the trip if they want to. In the summer, when the mid- night sun is there, it’s almost daylight all through the night, so we decided to drive all the way from Trondheim to Lofoten within one day. We started early morning in Trondheim, headed north on E6 towards Bodø. E6 is relatively easy to ride but still there are lots of turns in the mountain roads. The terrain is quite hilly and most of the time, we were either up or down the mountain. The landscape along the road was quite pleasant, green woods, wild flowers and snow mountain peaks. When we were approaching the Arctic Circle, the landscape changed into an untamed wideness. It was such a unique place, so we decided to have a stop over on our way back from Lofoten. We arrived in Bodø just at the right time for the afternoon ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, which is situated in the southern part of the lofoten islands.

  • Tamils' Quest for Well-Being
    Tamils’ Quest for Well-Being: Moving as a Success or Failure? Anne Sigfrid Grønseth ABSTRACT: During a period of about 15 years, Tamil refugees have resided in the small fishing villages along the arctic coast of northern Norway. Employing an ethnographic approach that emphasizes agency and experience in everyday life, this study describes how Tamils face a lack of crucial social and religious relationships and arenas that provide recognition and meaning to their daily lives. Not being able to give voice to their social experiences, the Tamils suffer from bodily aches and pains. As part of the Tamils’ search for recognition, community and quest for well-being, they have relo- cated to places that provide a more complete Tamil community. To assess whether the Tamils’ choice of leaving the fishing villages is a success or failure is a complex matter. Exploring the intricacies of this decision, this article discusses the links between the ‘narrative of suffering’ and the Tamils’ decision to move.

Iceland, promoted by some as a successful international model of this approach, has been the site – for nearly thirty years – of fierce debate and controversy regarding the system’s effects on regional development, social justice and wealth disparity.
