Let�s Talk about Storytelling, Colonialism, Netflix and My Great Grandfather
Edited by Gudrun E. Havsteen-Mikkelsen.
A challenge to the colonialist narratives of the Netflix movie Against the Ice, by a descendent of the film�s explorer protagonist
The new Netflix film Against the Ice is based on the adventures of Enjar Mikkelsen (1880�1971), a Danish polar explorer, captain and colonizer in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland)�homing in on his 1909 Alabama Expedition in particular. The cinematic appeal of Mikkelsen is bolstered by his methodical recordings vis-�-vis books and maps, which have figured significantly in the collective memory of Nordic colonialism. In response to the film�s production, Gudrun Havsteen-Mikkelsen (born 1992), the explorer�s great-granddaughter, edited this book in collaboration with designer Anna Bierler. Combining archival material, interviews and essays, Snowblindness: Let�s Talk about Storytelling, Colonialism, Netflix and My Great Grandfather offers new grounds for engagement with the polar explorer�s legacy, questioning the ethics and aesthetics of conventional colonial narratives through scholarly research and vulnerable storytelling.
