Just Right

Surprises are refuted expectations and therefore an inevitable concomitant of errors of anticipating the future. This paper argues that the timing is just right for a spatial account of surprise, or rather, for a geography of personal and social change that deploys the trope of surprise to help explain how and why change happens. Whether we are surprised by what transpires in our surroundings or we are surprising ourselves by leaping forward in impetuous deeds of reinventing who we are, the common denominator of these processes of becoming is that they produce geographical space and are produced by it.

Resumen      Inmersa la Tierra en una profunda crisis eco-social, que algunos niegan y otros tratan de superar con las mismas recetas que la provocaron, es necesario un nuevo ideario sobre el que construir un mundo sostenible. El paisaje, intersección entre el espacio geográfico y la mirada del observador, se ha configurado en Occidente guiado por las diferentes maneras de entender el mundo a lo largo de la historia. Una interpretación de dichas realidades con los ojos del siglo veintiuno nos permite redefinir las etapas de la percepción del paisaje y poner en contexto el momento actual. A partir del binomio naturaleza-razón, hemos creado una narrativa que transita por nuestro pasado y se detiene en los momentos más representativos de la percepción del paisaje, aquellos que han ido acompañados de un cambio de paradigma. Comprender las consecuencias de dicha evolución nos permite esbozar algunas ideas y ponerle nombre al futuro.  AbstractGiven the fact that the Earth is embroiled in a deep eco-social crisis, denied by some while others try to overcome it using the same recipes that provoked it, a new ideology is needed to build a sustainable world. The Western landscape, the intersection between geographical space and the viewers’ gaze, was configured following the different ways of understanding the world throughout history. Interpreting these realities from a twenty first century perspective allows us to redefine the stages in the perception of the landscape and place them in context. Based on the binary nature-reason, this paper builds a historical narrative that highlights the most representative moments in landscape perception, those which constitute a paradigm shift. Understanding the consequences of this evolution enables us to outline some ideas that might indicate a direction of the future.

Future Population

The Arctic is a geographical space surrounding the North Pole. It encompasses dozens of sub-national entities north of eight Arctic countries: Russia, Canada, Denmark, the United States, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It is 20 million square kilometers land coverage settled with only 10 million people (2015). In the desire to learn more about the Arctic overall profile in population change, we aimed at producing cross-regional dataset covering all parts of the Arctic, and using it as a baseline for the cohort- component population projection. In this way, we model the future changes in the age, sex, and educational structure of sub-national populations, the latter reflecting the regional human capital. The projections are based on three alternative scenarios, taking into account regional characteristics (“Medium development”, “Arctic Boost”, and “Arctic Dip”). The results might be informative for those interested in the future dynamics of the Arctic population from 2015 forward to 2050.
