Being in Nature!

We are glad to present papers from the Gisna valley conference – “Being in Nature”.
The papers are categorized in six different categories:

1. Friluftsliv

opens with a paper written by Nils Faarlund, Norway.
He is outlining the deep roots of the traditional Norwegian friluftsliv.

2. Time and Space

In one of the papers Jay Griffiths describes “Wild time” and how aboriginal peoples look upon time.

3. Identity

Only one paper is represented in this category; Ingrid Urberg and Morten Asfeldt are writing about winter experiences in the North of Canada.

Nature conservation, education and politics

This is te most comprehensive theme, which we find very natural for a conference like this.

5. Aesthetics

6. Quality of life
