The Effects of Inuit Drum Dancing on Psychosocial Well-Being and Resilience: Productivity and Cultural Competence in an Inuit Settlement explores the sociocultural context surrounding two forms of traditional Inuit drum dancing in Ulukhaktok, an Inuit settlement in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Tim Murray uses case studies and social script analysis to argue that drum dance participation has emerged in this community as a way of supporting the psychosocial well-being of the settlement’s younger population and to explore how in the wake of colonization, drum dancing has resolidified in Ulukhaktok. Specifically, chapters examine the impacts of generational isolation and its downstream effects on the lives of settlement youth and young adults, the deployment of drum dancing as a tactical resource for modulating emotional access with elders, and its reemergence within the Ulukhaktok taskscape as a platform for reinterpreting local understandings of productivity and cultural competence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: An Old Tool with a New Purpose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Ulukhaktok: Historical Background and Cultural Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: How We Go Here: Metacommunication and the Optics of Productivity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Drum Dancing, Social Boundaries, and a Strategic End by Tactical Means\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Performing Cultural Productivity and the Adapting Taskscape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix A: Glossary of Inuinnaqtun Terms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042623783255,"sku":"9781793609779","price":62.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-effects-of-inuit-drum-dancing-on-psychosocial-well-being-and-resilience-productivity-and-cultural-competence-in-an-inuit-settlement-9781793609779","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
