3. Four of the papers published here (Fibiger, Tanaka, Kristensen and Holtorf) were in very preliminary form presented at a session (co-organised by the editors) at an international conference entitled Places, People, Stories, held on 28–30 September 2011 at Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the session for their critical engagement with the topic. One paper presented in the session has been published elsewhere (Wienberg Citation2014).
