Mountainscapes. Pathways and Mobilities in the Alps and Beyond - Andrea Boscoboinik;Viviane Cretton

Innovatively bringing together scholars from geography, sociology, history, and more, Mountainscapes re-examines the dynamics of mountain mobilities and the impact of tourism, migration and pastoralism on mountain communities. Ranging from the Swiss Alps to the Chilean Andes, this volume illuminates how the processes of place-making specifically manifest within our ever-changing mountain regions.

Often home to rural, indigenous communities, mountain regions are rapidly becoming preserves for the social elite, and altogether unsustainable within the climate crisis. Bringing together scholars from geography, sociology, anthropology, history, and urban studies, Mountainscapes seeks to re-examine the dynamics of mountain mobilities and better understand how tourism, migration, and pastoralism shape mountain communities. Ranging from the Swiss Alps to the Chilean Andes, this volume illuminates how the processes of place-making and non-belonging specifically manifest and evolve within our ever-changing mountain regions.
