The Arctic Circle is the most commonly used border to delimit the Arctic region, and has been used in this way to such an extent that across the circumpolar North, municipalities and local communities have built various types of signs, shops and tourist centers for its celebration. This is especially the case in Rovaniemi, Finland, with the creation of the Santa Claus Village, “right” on the Arctic Circle, leading to several thousands of tourists crossing the magical line every year. This article focuses on tourists’ practices around Arctic Circle landmarks in Rovaniemi. This study acknowledges the hegemony of the selfie era that is indubitably linked to what is referred to in this article as “border-crossing postures”, pertaining to the ritual of performing specific practices, actions and postures that suggest the crossing of a borderline. However, it is argued that in the case of the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, these specific postures come from the physical aspect of the landmarks, rather than the tourists recognizing the Arctic Circle as a border.

“走线”：人种志研究越过北极圈的仪式-罗瓦涅米（Case Rovaniemi）

北极圈是划定北极地区最常用的边界，其使用方式使得在北极圈内，市政当局和当地社区都建立了各种标志，商店和旅游中心来庆祝。芬兰罗瓦涅米市的情况尤其如此，在北极圈的“右边”建立了圣诞老人村，每年吸引成千上万的游客越过神奇的路线。本文重点介绍游客在罗瓦涅米（Rovaniemi）的北极圈地标附近的做法。这项研究承认自拍照时代的霸权与本文中所谓的“越境姿势”毫无疑问地联系在一起，这涉及执行暗示越过边界的特定做法，动作和姿势的仪式。
