Negotiating Personal Autonomy offers a detailed ethnographic examination of personal autonomy and social life in East Greenland. Examining verbal and non-verbal communication in interpersonal encounters, Elixhauser argues that social life in the region is characterized by relationships based upon a particular care to respect other people’s personal autonomy. Exploring this high valuation of personal autonomy, she asserts that a person in East Greenland is a highly permeable entity that is neither bounded by the body nor even necessarily human. In so doing, she also puts forward a new approach to the anthropological study of communication. An important addition to the corpus of ethnographic literature about the people of East Greenland, Elixhauser‘s work will be of interest to scholars of the Arctic and the North, Greenland, social and cultural anthropology, and human geography. Her conclusion that, in East Greenland, the ‘inner’ self cannot be separated from the ‘public’ persona will also be of interest to scholars working on the self across the humanities and social sciences.

'Los inuit, Cazadores del Gran Norte' es una obra que nos acerca a un pueblo que se conoce más por su nombre que por su realidad cultural. A partir de las historias locales, y en un lugar tan inhóspito y frío como es el Ártico, nos adentramos en una cultura que, en muchos aspectos, ha permanecido inalterable a lo largo de los siglos, y que ha seguido respetando su entorno natural como estrategia principal de su subsistencia. La apasionante visión que Francesc Bailón nos ofrece de este mundo, y que en palabras del propio autor "constituye uno de los últimos soplos de humanidad que le quedan a este planeta", nos debe mostrar lo que un día fuimos para entender en lo que ahora nos hemos convertido. Además, esta obra nos permitirá comprender cómo un pueblo cazador y pescador ha pasado a ser el espejo en el cual quieren reflejarse otros grupos indígenas de la Tierra. Este libro, profusamente ilustrado con magníficas imágenes, trata además de temas que nos afectan a todos y especialmente al pueblo inuit, como son el calentamiento global y la contaminación medioambiental que asolan nuestro planeta. Quizá a través de esta obra lleguemos a escuchar esas voces que proceden del Gran Norte y entendamos por fin que la supervivencia de esta cultura condiciona también la nuestra.

This work retraces the various phases of the evolution of a small East Greenlandic society throughout the twentieth century and sums up its present-day transformations as a result of its contact with the western world. Discovered barely a century ago, the Ammassalik Eskimo ethnic group was in a way a "perfect" model of an isolate -- whether from a biological or a cultural point of view. It opened to the outside world, slowly before the Second World War, then consistently faster after the 1940's. This society of nomadic sea mammal hunters under-went a real demographic explosion, became sedentary, diversified its activities and lifestyles and is beginning to show some social stratification. Demographic analysis, on a genealogical basis, has been at the heart of this re-search on change; it allows us to appreciate transformations in the biological heritage, as well as in family organisation and social and economic structures. This approach draws attention to the existing interactions between the various phenomena which make up the life of a small society and determine its evolution. In conclusion, the contemporary history of some 2300 Ammassalimmiut of Ammassalik district is placed in the wider context of Greenland's accession to Home Rule (in 1979) and of the unifying movement initiated between three of the territories where the Inuit live today: Alaska, Canada and Greenland.
