Sammanfattning
I use my personal experience as an islander doing fieldwork among islanders in the West Indies to explore the meaning of "insularity." I then expand on that personal experience by drawing on literary sources, particularly Homer's the Odyssey and Herman Melville's Moby Dick, both of which express an island worldview. The island worldview is contrasted and compared with the continental worldview on the basis of differing modes of navigation and cartography and differing modes of orientation as defined by cognitive psychologists.
