ABSTRACT

This paper – at the intersection of childhood studies, island studies, and geographies of place – explores place and sense of belonging in relation to the childhood memories of people from a Faroese village community in a time of societal shift. It examines and analyses the role of and dynamic connection between everyday life practices, local knowledge, and intra- and intergenerational relations in children's place-making practices and narratives. It aims to scrutinize in which sense the interplay between past and present, and between processes of continuity and discontinuity, in people's childhood narratives reflects their relations to place and ties to the past. It investigates the meaning of the coast and ocean in childhood memories, everyday life activities, and local maritime culture in a village community with strong connection to modern large-scale fisheries. It suggests that children's place-making processes and future orientations are influenced by family relations, social capital, local knowledge, and innovation.

摘要

这篇论文——在童年研究、岛屿研究和地方地理的交叉点上——探讨了社会转变时期法罗群岛村庄社区人们童年记忆中的地方和归属感。它检查和分析了日常生活实践、当地知识以及代内和代际关系在儿童场所营造实践和叙事中的作用和动态联系。它旨在审视人们童年叙事中过去与现在之间以及连续与不连续过程之间的相互作用在何种意义上反映了他们与地点的关系以及与过去的联系。它调查了海岸和海洋在童年记忆、日常生活活动中的意义，以及与现代大型渔业密切相关的村庄社区中的当地海洋文化。它表明儿童的场所营造过程和未来定位受到家庭关系、社会资本、当地知识和创新的影响。
