International Laboratory for Research on Images of the North, Winter and the Arctic
The International Laboratory for Research on Images of the North, Winter and the Arctic at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is a centre for research, documentation and expertise on the Nordic and Winter imaginary in literature, film, the visual arts and popular culture. It is intended primarily to encourage comparison between the different Nordic cultures as exemplified by Québec, the Inuit community, Scandinavia (Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden) and Finland.
