Abstract

How may comparison serve as research methodology and epistemological probe to know and learn about and across Arctic tourism? And how could it also serve as an ontological device to enact tourism in new and different ways? These questions are addressed in this chapter that explores and discusses old and emerging comparative companions in Arctic tourism research, using Greenland as a case study. By illustrating and discussing how comparison works (or not) between the Arctic, “the South” and “other (Arctic) others,” between and within destinations themselves, the chapter argues for situated comparison as a promising epistemological and ontological tool towards collaborative ways of knowing in Greenlandic and Arctic tourism.
