このコンテンツについて

“Sokvaapit” tells a story from the point of view of a journalist working in a foreign country, through his clandestine correspondence with a state funded broadcasting network, covering an expedition into the vast highland territory known colloquially as The Shelf, annexed and remote from the countries below. The expedition, funded by various trading companies, artisan guilds and universities, and led by an iconoclastic ex-soldier-turned entrepreneur, is heading for a distant city beyond a primaeval forest that has gone uncontacted for half a century: Ruerdskyeg, the old seat of power of a dynasty which once ruled both The Shelflands and all the lower countries beyond.


“Sokvaapit” draws its name from the town on the edge of said forest where the expedition arrives and for various reasons beyond their control, is forced to stay. Doubly foreign, far from both his home country across the sea, and part of an expedition from the state established in the lands below the Shelf in the wake of a cataclysmic half forgotten conflict, the narrator relates the daily existence and records the stories of the townsfolk of Sokvaapit, learns of the wider sociopolitical history of the Shelf, and grapples with his own task of spinning a story to fit the widely accepted narrative about the country and the people he finds himself amongst. He bears witness to, and eventually takes part in, a series of events that tug at the fabric of accepted narratives within the town and in the wider context of the world.


“Sokvaapit” is a story of memory and displacement, of oral histories, ecological devastation, collective trauma, the duty of journalists, and above all the power of stories in a place where the truth is malleable and can cost far more than life itself.
