description: We study the challenging thermal phase transition to stripe order in the frustrated square-lattice Ising model with couplings J1<0 (nearest-neighbor, ferromagnetic) and J2>0 (second-neighbor, antiferromagnetic) for g=J2/|J1|>1/2. Using Monte Carlo simulations and known analytical results, we demonstrate Ashkin-Teller criticality for g>= g*, i.e., the critical exponents vary continuously between those of the 4-state Potts model at g=g* and the Ising model for g -> infinity. Thus, stripe transitions offer a route to realizing a related class of conformal field theories with conformal charge c=1 and varying exponents. The transition is first-order for g

description: This is a compilation of feedback given by attendees at the Yin & Yan of PIDs session at PIDapalooza 2019.

Session description as follows:

This interactive, hour-long session on communicating about PIDs to researchers will be divided into two halves. The first will look at the yin -- the “dark side”! -- of PIDs. After hearing a couple of "horror stories from the session leaders, participants will be invited to share their own experiences of PID communication challenges. What went wrong? How did they address the issue? What did they learn from the experience? How can we all help ensure fewer PID problems in future?

The second half will focus on the yang -- positive PID stories and communication strategies. Following the same structure as the first part, this time around we will be sharing our success stories.  What worked -- and how do you know it did? Why did it work? Is it replicable by other organizations?

Please come to this session with at least one PID story to share -- good or bad -- and be ready for a lively discussion of how we can learn from our shared experiences to tell a more consistent and evidence-based PID story to researchers and make our communications with them more successful.

description: Food insecurity is a persistent challenge for millions of people around the world and can be intensified by negative shocks to income, prices, or food supply like those incurred with the global economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) International Food Security Assessment, 2021-2031, (IFSA) report uses the above determinants to analyze food security conditions in 76 low- and middle-income countries, all of which are historic or current food aid recipients. The assessment finds that per capita incomes in 2021 remain below their pre-pandemic levels for most countries in the assessment. Fluctuating food prices, and in part driven by income-related shocks, have heightened the level of food insecurity in 2021 for all 76 countries—in particular, in lower income countries.
On the density of polyharmonic splines

description: This article treats the question of fundamentality of the translates of a polyharmonic spline kernel (also known as a surface spline) in the space of continuous functions on a compact set $Ω\subset \RR^d$ when the translates are restricted to $Ω$. Fundamentality is not hard to demonstrate when a low degree polynomial may be added or when translates are permitted to lie outside of $Ω$; the challenge of this problem stems from the presence of the boundary, for which all successful approximation schemes require an added polynomial. When $Ω$ is the unit ball, we demonstrate that translates of polyharmonic splines are fundamental by considering two related problems: the fundamentality in the space of functions vanishing at the boundary and fundamentality of the restricted kernel in the space of continuous function on the sphere. This gives rise to a new approximation scheme composed of two parts: one which approximates purely on $\partial Ω$, and a second part involving a shift invariant approximant of a function vanishing outside of a neighborhood $Ω$.

Late Jurassic fault-hosted gold mineralization of the Golden Saddle deposit, White Gold district, Yukon Territory
Creators: name: Bailey, Leif Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The Golden Saddle deposit is a lithologically and structurally controlled gold deposit located in west-central Yukon Territory. The deposit is located near the Klondike district, which is best known for its rich history of placer gold mining. The discovery of the Golden Saddle deposit in 2008 was the first significant lode gold discovery in this region. Based upon the geology, structure, and age of the deposit, an amagmatic orogenic model is proposed to describe the genesis of the deposit. The deposit area is underlain by Late Paleozoic amphibolite-grade metasiliciclastic, metavolcanic, metavolcaniclastic and metaplutonic rocks of the Yukon-Tanana terrane. Mineralization occurs at the intersection between a Jurassic east-striking sinistral transpressional fault system and an older north-striking thrust fault. Metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks occur in the hanging wall of this thrust fault, whereas metasiliciclastic rocks occur in the footwall. Economic gold mineralization is hosted predominantly by a series of subparallel northeast-striking, northwest-dipping faults within the sinistral transpressional fault system. The gold-hosting faults are complex structures comprising early folds and shears that are crosscut by polyphase quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins, fracture zones, and breccias. Gold and related alteration minerals typically occur in brittle, dilational deformation zones. Some gold-bearing brittle deformation zones are oriented parallel to the fold-axial plane of ductile folds. This textural relationship is indicative of gold mineralization occurring near the brittle-ductile transition. Gold mineralization is accompanied by a progression of alteration mineral assemblages, vein mineral assemblages, and vein textures. Pre-gold alteration and veins vary by host rock composition, whereas syn-gold alteration and veins are characterized by quartz-carbonate-illite and gold-bearing pyrite. Mineralization is accompanied by enrichment of Au-Ag-Pb-S-Te, with enrichment of other elements dependent upon host rock composition, and variably including As, Ba, Bi, Cu, Hg, Mo, Sb, Se, and Zn. Values of δ³⁴S for hydrothermal pyrite range from –9.8 to 6.8‰, whereas ratios of ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁶Pb and ²⁰⁷Pb/ ²⁰⁶Pb range from 2.043-1.933 and 0.828-0.757, respectively. These sulphur and lead isotopic ratios are interpreted to vary in part based upon host rock composition. The age of mineralization is constrained by ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁷Os model ages of 163–155 Ma for molybdenite in gold-bearing veins within the deposit.
Universality, limits and predictability of gold-medal performances at the Olympic Games
Creators: name: Radicchi, Filippo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Inspired by the Games held in ancient Greece, modern Olympics represent the world's largest pageant of athletic skill and competitive spirit. Performances of athletes at the Olympic Games mirror, since 1896, human potentialities in sports, and thus provide an optimal source of information for studying the evolution of sport achievements and predicting the limits that athletes can reach. Unfortunately, the models introduced so far for the description of athlete performances at the Olympics are either sophisticated or unrealistic, and more importantly, do not provide a unified theory for sport performances. Here, we address this issue by showing that relative performance improvements of medal winners at the Olympics are normally distributed, implying that the evolution of performance values can be described in good approximation as an exponential approach to an a priori unknown limiting performance value. This law holds for all specialties in athletics-including running, jumping, and throwing-and swimming. We present a self-consistent method, based on normality hypothesis testing, able to predict limiting performance values in all specialties. We further quantify the most likely years in which athletes will breach challenging performance walls in running, jumping, throwing, and swimming events, as well as the probability that new world records will be established at the next edition of the Olympic Games.

description: Motivated by many key features of real data from economics and finance, we study a semiparametric panel data model with time-varying regression coefficients associated with an additive factor structure. In our model, factor loadings are unknown functions of observable variables which can capture time-variant and heterogeneous covariate information. A profile marginal integration (PMI) method is proposed to estimate unknown coefficient functions, factors and their loadings jointly in a single step, which can result in estimators with closed forms. Asymptotic distributions for the proposed profile estimators are established. Two empirical applications on US stock returns and OECD health care expenditure are provided. Thorough numerical results demonstrate the finite sample performance of our estimation and its advantage over traditional models in the relevant literature.

Real Options Valuation of Wind Energy Based on the Empirical Production Uncertainty

description: Using a real options approach, we analyze the valuation of wind energy projects and associated investment decisions while accounting for both price and production uncertainty. We propose a new approach to explicitly incorporate production uncertainty into the valuation. Specifically, we account for the production risk using a stochastic process for wind speed, a cubic spline model for the conversion of wind speed to wind electricity, and a Bayesian procedure for estimating and forecasting the wind electricity processes. In a case-study on a comprehensive dataset of a Dutch offshore wind farm, we evaluate the financial consequences of ignoring production risk for different levelized costs of energy values. We find that fixing the production at a capacity factor value leads to substantial underestimation of the real options value, and relying on theoretical instead of empirical power curves leads to overestimation.
title: Manual Vs. Automated Window Blinds: Analysis of Energy Use Based on Climate Scenarios
Creators: name: Niknia, Sepideh
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Windows in buildings impact energy usage for temperature control through solar heat gain and enable natural light to reduce reliance on artificial lighting. Balancing solar heat gain and daylight utilization is a challenge, which can be addressed by employing automated or manual blind systems to manage daylight and enhance user comfort and energy efficiency. Additionally, accurate weather forecasts are essential for predicting energy-efficient strategies through individual building energy simulations, as weather conditions synergistically interact with occupant behavior to influence energy consumption patterns. This research aims to assess the energy consumption associated with manual and automated internal window blinds in medium-sized office buildings situated within two distinct and significant climate zones in the United States, considering both present and future climate change scenarios based on the IPCC report (RCP 4.5 - 8.5). Employing a simulation-based methodology, the study unveiled varying effectiveness levels of diverse window blind configurations contingent on the specific climate zones (e.g., 4A Mixed-Humid, 2B Hot-Dry). In different climate zones, on-site energy consumption alterations for heating and cooling become evident as temperatures escalate in the forthcoming years. Using simulation as the method and comparing RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios reveals that automated blinds—a more efficient choice than manual blinds—significantly reduces cooling energy consumption, particularly under RCP 8.5 in a 4A Mixed-Humid zone. Rising temperatures in Climate Zone 2B Hot-Dry are a factor in increased energy requirements for cooling and decreased energy requirements for heating due to climate change. This study provides enlightening insights into the potential benefits of diverse window-covering strategies concerning energy conservation within varied climatic contexts for the future.

description: Motivated by a recent angle-resolved thermal conductivity experiment that shows a twofold gap symmetry in the high-field and low-temperature C phase in the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt$_3$, we group-theoretically identify the pairing functions as $E_{1u}$ with the $f$-wave character for all the three phases. The pairing functions are consistent with the observation as well as with a variety of existing measurements. By using a microscopic quasi-classical Eilenberger equation with the identified triplet pairing function under applied fields, we performed detailed studies of the vortex structures for three phases, including the vortex lattice symmetry, the local density of states, and the internal field distribution. These quantities are directly measurable experimentally by SANS, STM/STS, and NMR, respectively. It is found that, in the B phase of low $H$ and low $T$, the double-core vortex is stabilized over a singular vortex. In the C phase, thermal conductivity data are analyzed to confirm the gap structure proposed. We also give detailed comparisons of various proposed pair functions, concluding that the present scenario of $E_{1u}$ with the $f$-wave, which is an analogue to the triplet planar state, is better than the $E_{2u}$ or $E_{1g}$ scenario. Finally, we discuss the surface topological aspects of Majorana modes associated with the $E_{1u}^f$ state of planar like features.

Medium modification of the charged current neutrino opacity and its implications

description: Previous work on neutrino emission from proto-neutron stars which employed full solutions of the Boltzmann equation showed that the average energies of emitted electron neutrinos and antineutrinos are closer to one another than predicted by older, more approximate work. This in turn implied that the neutrino driven wind is proton rich during its entire life, precluding $r$-process nucleosynthesis and the synthesis of Sr, Y, and Zr. This work relied on charged current neutrino interaction rates that are appropriate for a free nucleon gas. Here, it is shown in detail that the inclusion of the nucleon potential energies and collisional broadening of the response significantly alters this conclusion. Iso-vector interactions, which give rise to the nuclear symmetry energy, produce a difference between the neutron and proton single-particle energies $ΔU=U_n-U_p$ and alter the kinematics of the charged current reactions. In neutron-rich matter, and for a given neutrino/antineutrino energy, the rate for $ν_e+n\rightarrow e^-+p$ is enhanced while $ \barν_e+p\rightarrow n+e^+$ is suppressed because the $Q$ value for these reactions is altered by $\pmΔU$, respectively. In the neutrino decoupling region, collisional broadening acts to enhance both $ν_e$ and $\barν_e$ cross-sections and RPA corrections decrease the $ν_e$ cross-section and increase the $\bar ν_e$ cross-section, but mean field shifts have a larger effect. Therefore, electron neutrinos decouple at lower temperature than when the nucleons are assumed to be free and have lower average energies. The change is large enough to allow for a reasonable period of time when the neutrino driven wind is predicted to be neutron rich. It is also shown that the electron fraction in the wind is influenced by the nuclear symmetry energy.

Asymptotic properties of adaptive maximum likelihood estimators in latent variable models
Creators: name: Bianconcini, Silvia
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Latent variable models have been widely applied in different fields of research in which the constructs of interest are not directly observable, so that one or more latent variables are required to reduce the complexity of the data. In these cases, problems related to the integration of the likelihood function of the model arise since analytical solutions do not exist. In the recent literature, a numerical technique that has been extensively applied to estimate latent variable models is the adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature. It provides a good approximation of the integral, and it is more feasible than classical numerical techniques in presence of many latent variables and/or random effects. In this paper, we formally investigate the properties of maximum likelihood estimators based on adaptive quadratures used to perform inference in generalized linear latent variable models.

description: We consider a Bell-like inequality performed using various instances of multi-photon entangled states to demonstrate that losses occurring after the unitary transformations used in the nonlocality test can be counteracted by enhancing the "size" of such entangled states. In turn, this feature can be used to overcome detection inefficiencies affecting the test itself: a slight increase in the size of such states, pushing them towards a more "macroscopic" form of entanglement, significantly improves the state robustness against detection inefficiency, thus easing the closing of the detection loophole. Differently, losses before the unitary transformations cause decoherence effects that cannot be compensated using macroscroscopic entanglement.

Towards improved understanding and management of mixed-severity fire regimes in mountain forests
Creators: name: Marcoux, Hélène
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Understanding spatial and temporal patterns of fire regimes is critically important for sustainable forest management and fire hazard mitigation. Mixed-severity fire regimes, in particular, are poorly understood, yet increasingly recognized as important drivers of stand and landscape-heterogeneity. I address knowledge gaps pertaining to the management and understanding of mixed-severity regimes including: (1) classification and mapping, (2)prevalence in mountain forests, (3) underlying topographical drivers, and (4) stand dynamics. Research questions were addressed using dendrochronological field data (fire scars, tree establishment dates, stand composition and structure) from 20 randomly selected research sites in southeastern British Columbia,I examined whether mixed-severity regimes, as currently represented in fire-regime classification schemes, led to erroneous landscape-level fire regime mapping. I used my field data to evaluate the accuracy of two classification systems (Natural Disturbance Type (NDT)and Historical Natural Fire Regime (HNFR)) used by managers to map fire regimes in British Columbia (Chapter 2). Each classification system made considerable and contrasting errors in identifying mixed-severity regimes relative to the field data and these misrepresentations were tied to elevation. I attributed these errors to assumptions about disturbances underlying each classification system, as well as limitations of the research methods used to estimate fire frequency (i.e., using either stand-age or fire-scar data in isolation). I explored the prevalence of mixed-severity fire regimes, importance of underlying topographic drivers, as well as the influence of mixed- versus high-severity fires on forest composition and structure (Chapter 3). I found evidence of mixed-severity fires at 55%. At these sites, most reconstructed fires (73%) were documented solely by fire scars, indicating many were of low-to-moderate severity. The remaining 27% of fires were severe enough to create conditions suitable for even-aged cohort to establish. Spatial patterns of fire severity were primarily controlled by elevation (i.e., severity increased with elevation). Composition varied with disturbance history; however, structural differences (e.g., tree size classes) were subtle, with the exception of snag densities, which were much greater in old, high-severity forests (where time-since-last-fire >250 years). Understanding the ecological heterogeneity created by mixed-severity regimes potentially influences decisions related to conservation, silviculture, wildfire and fuel mitigation.
title: DEPRECATED: U.K. AND U.S. MULTINATIONAL CAPITAL BUDGETING AND FINANCING DECISIONS
Creators: name: HOOPER, VINCENT JAMES
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the capital budgeting and financing decisions of UK and US multinational enterprises. Following a survey approach, this study examines the impact that the general equilibrium and the disequilibrium schools of reasoning have upon international investment and financing decisions of the multinational. Further, the degree of centralisation in financial policy is investigated in the light of the two schools of thought which partition corporate finance theory. A conjoint methodology is utilised in order to evaluate the gravity of various environmental issues upon the foreign direct investment decision as well as the utilities for discrete levels of those determinants. The research inquiry is enriched with in-depth interviews with fourteen senior finance managers of British based multinational companies.
Lighting the Way of the Learner: Towards a Social Virtue Epistemology in Aḥmad al-Ṣaghīr's The Faqīh's Lantern
Creators: name: Khelifa, Amani
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This thesis offers an original translation and analysis of a West African didactic poem in Islamic ethics and law, by the Mālikī-Ashʿarī Mauritanian scholar Aḥmad al-Ṣaghīr (d. 1272 AH/1856 CE) called The Faqīh's Lantern (Miṣbāḥ al-Faqīh). In addition to the critical translation, I examine the poem thematically through the lens of social virtue epistemology. Chapter 1 sketches the background of the text and author, positioning the author historically as a product of a rich scholarly and pedagogical tradition while noting Mauritania's contemporary place in the North American Muslim imagination. Chapter 2 is the translation of the text, making this classical poem accessible to the modern reader. Chapter 3 is an analysis of the poem centred around four major themes: intellectual virtues, embodiment, expert identification, and self-trust. This unique theoretical lens points to several nodes where Islamic studies and the Anglo-American philosophical tradition intersect, with respect to theories of knowledge.
Discontinuities of the exchange-correlation kernel and charge-transfer excitations in time-dependent density functional theory

description: We identify the key property that the exchange-correlation (XC) kernel of time-dependent density functional theory must have in order to describe long-range charge-transfer excitations. We show that the discontinuity of the XC potential as a function of particle number induces a space -and frequency-dependent discontinuity of the XC kernel which diverges as $r\to\infty$. In a combined donor-acceptor system, the same discontinuity compensates for the vanishing overlap between the acceptor and donor orbitals, thereby yielding a finite correction to the Kohn-Sham eigenvalue differences. This mechanism is illustrated to first order in the Coulomb interaction.

Le controfigure di Dio. Da Blade Runner ad Avatar

Subjects: science fiction, Blade Runner, Bible, God, Creature

description: The issue of the relationship between the creator and his/her creature has been often dealt with  in dystopia and science fiction films, and in recent times it has taken on a specific flavor, less related to the implications of science and more connected to a symbolic dimension that goes  back to the Bible as a fruitful reservoir of myths and archetypes. The Biblical parable of the creation  in particular flows into narratives recalling familiar names and places, but deeply revising the  creator/creature relationship, that is unfolded through the poetic unacceptability of death in Blade  Runner (1982) and the possibility of a new life in a new body dwelling in the fictional Eden of Avatar (2010).

The Burgers equation with Poisson random forcing
Creators: name: Bakhtin, Yuri
Publisher: name: arXiv

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider the Burgers equation on the real line with forcing given by Poissonian noise with no periodicity assumption. Under a weak concentration condition on the driving random force, we prove existence and uniqueness of a global solution in a certain class. We describe its basin of attraction that can also be viewed as the main ergodic component for the model. We establish existence and uniqueness of global minimizers associated to the variational principle underlying the dynamics. We also prove the diffusive behavior of the global minimizers on the universal cover in the periodic forcing case.

description: This paper examines the identification power of instrumental variables (IVs) for average treatment effect (ATE) in partially identified models. We decompose the ATE identification gains into components of contributions driven by IV relevancy, IV strength, direction and degree of treatment endogeneity, and matching via exogenous covariates. Our decomposition is demonstrated with graphical illustrations, simulation studies and an empirical example of childbearing and women's labour supply. Our analysis offers insights for understanding the complex role of IVs in ATE identification and for selecting IVs in practical policy designs. Simulations also suggest potential uses of our analysis for detecting irrelevant instruments.
Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli: un progetto non realizzato di Luchino Visconti
Creators: name: Giori, Mauro
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: Bibbia ; Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli ; Luchino Visconti ; Thomas Mann ; Dino De Laurentiis ; Christopher Fry

description: In 1963, Luchino Visconti signed a contract with producer Dino De Laurentiis to direct a film inspired
by the biblical story of Giuseppe and his brothers. Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli was meant to be a part of an
Italian colossal along with several other episodes to be directed by renowned artists such as Orson Welles
and Robert Bresson. Analysing letters and several versions of the screenplay never studied before, this essay t
race a thorough story of this project and explains the reasons of its failure. Even if Visconti accepted
De Laurentiis’s offer only to be sure that the producer would fund his adaptation of Camus’s The Stranger,
Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli interested him because it gave him a second chance to work on the monumental
version of Giuseppe’s story written by Thomas Mann. A few years before, Visconti had already written a
treatment for Rocco e i suoi fratelli under the influence of this beloved novel, but he had abandoned
every reference to it in the following development. Unfortunately, Christopher Fry, an American playwright
and screenwriter also involved in the biblical project, failed to understand Visconti’s predilection for
the novel and rejected any influence of the German writer. Despite Visconti’s efforts to find a compromise,
the director’s conception of the story (and of cinema as well) was too far from Fry’s one, as the three
different screenplays written by them for the project show in an unmistakable way, and the director was
dismissed by the producer without any notification.

Investigation of on-site inter-orbital single electron hoppings in general multi-orbital systems

description: A general multi-orbital Hubbard model, which includes on-site inter-orbital electron hoppings, is introduced and studied. It is shown that the on-site inter-orbital single electron hopping is one of the most basic interactions. Two electron spin-flip and pair-hoppings are shown to be correlation effects of higher order than the on-site inter-orbital single hopping. It is shown how the double and higher hopping interactions can be well-defined for arbitrary systems. The two-orbital Hubbard model is studied numerically to demonstrate the influence of the single electron hopping effect, leading to a change of the shape of the bands and a shrinking of the difference between the two bands. Inclusion of the on-site inter-orbital hopping suppresses the so-called orbital-selective Mott transition.

description: In condensed matter, it is often difficult to untangle the effects of competing interactions, and this is especially problematic for superconductors. Quantum simulators may help: here we show how exploiting the properties of highly excited Rydberg states of cold fermionic atoms in a bilayer lattice can simulate electron-phonon interactions in the presence of strong correlation - a scenario found in many unconventional superconductors. We discuss the core features of the simulator, and use numerics to compare with condensed matter analogues. Finally, we illustrate how to achieve a practical, tunable implementation of the simulation using painted spot potentials.

description: We propose a general method to maximize the fidelity of writing, storage and reading of quantum information (QI) in a spectrally inhomogeneous spin ensemble used as quantum memory. The method is based on preselecting the optimal spectral portion of the ensemble by a judiciously designed pulse. It allows drastic improvement of quantum memory realized by spin ensembles that store QI from a resonator or an optical beam.

title: Historical Fiction or Architectural History?: Analyzing the Built Environment of the Imagined North
Creators: name: Dubois, Samuel
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Accounts penned by Western men who explored the North American Arctic in the nineteenth century inspired numerous European novelists. Among them was French author Jules Verne (1828–1905), whose widely translated body of works includes Le pays des fourrures (The Fur Country), published in 1873. This novel, set in 1859, chronicles the expedition of a small group of British traders beyond the Arctic Circle and their interactions with local Inuit communities, native to the region. Despite its human-against-nature narrative, Verne’s book includes rich descriptions of settler-colonial architecture typical of the Arctic during that era, gleaned primarily from firsthand accounts of contemporaneous expeditions in the region. A century later, in 1970, pilot-turned-writer Markoosie Patsauq (1941–2020) authored the first Inuit novel in Canada, Uumajursiutik unaatuinnamut (Hunter with Harpoon). This book is emblematic of a significant shift in Inuit culture, from millennia-long oral traditions to the emergence of written literature. It was subsequently translated into multiple languages and reached a global readership. Drawing on an old Inuit legend, Patsauq’s narrative depicts “life in the old days, not as it appeared to southerners, but as it has survived in the memory of the Inuit themselves” (McGill-Queen’s University Press n.d.). Hunter with Harpoon is a seminal literary work offering valuable insight into Inuit life, space, and architecture in the Arctic before the colonial period. This paper critically compares The Fur Country and Hunter with Harpoon—two prominent historical novels set in the Arctic—to explore how Western and Inuit literatures have traditionally depicted the Arctic built environment in divergent ways. Through historical contextualization and textual analysis, it emphasizes the labor and other human aspects associated with living in nineteenth-century structures in the Arctic. Moreover, this study shows the importance of interdisciplinarity, in this case mixing architectural history and literary studies, to uncover the potential value and biases of historical fiction as a legitimate source of knowledge in historical research. Fundamentally, this paper argues that the critical examination of the imagined North can deepen our understanding of Arctic history and its built environment.
