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 impacts 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.
Viviane Cretton is a professor at the HES-SO Valais-Wallis and an anthropologist specializing in mountain studies. Active in mountain research since 2009, she focuses on social dynamics, human-environment relations, and more-than-human relationships in mountain worlds. She has co-edited special journal issues, including Living in the Mountains (Quaderns 2022), and published peer-reviewed articles on migration, ordinary racism, and mobilities in alpine regions. Trained in Fiji during the context of a coup d'?tat, her work is grounded in decolonial approaches, amplifying indigenous and transnational perspectives.
