L’ontologie du froid, les images culturelles et les représentations de paysages culturels des villes du Nord et de l’Arctique
The purpose of this article is to show the specifics of the formation of cultural landscapes and geocultural images of Northern and Arctic cities in the context of the concept of post-urbanism. The ontological and phenomenological category of cold, which is key for understanding this specificity, has a decisive influence on the formation of both material and expressive (mental) environments and identities of the inhabitants of Northern cities. The image of cold can be considered as an important component of the symbolic capital of the Northern and Arctic cities, as well as a field of implementation and struggle of various post-colonial practices. The phenomenon of co-spatiality, basic for understanding post-urban trends of social development, acquires a special configuration in the cultural landscapes of Northern cities, contributing to the enrichment of the semantic space of post-urbanism as a whole.
