“…While some islands are remote and peripheral, others are more accessible. The deep changes in air and sea transportation have profoundly redefined the flow of people, goods and services between islands and continental areas, with a collateral effect on the redefinition of islands' remoteness (Royle and Brinklow 2018).…”

“…International law and diplomatic grounds, such as the ones issued by the United Nations, acknowledge that an insular territory can only be considered an island if it has enough resources to sustain human settlement as well as an economic and viable social life (Royle and Brinklow 2018). Islanders tend to be more attached to their islands compared to how continental populations feel about their neighborhood or home city (Hernández et al 2007).…”

Becoming a Young Farmer in the Digital Age—An Island Perspective*

This study investigates the career construction paths of young farmers and aims to contribute to the literature on the “young farmer problem.” Of particular relevance is this study's focus on the potential of islands as a new career landscape in the digital age. Young farmers' subjective experiences toward careers were analyzed based on narrative interviews, quantitative surveys and expert interviews from two EU islands: Crete and the Azores. Firstly, the study provides insights on the behavioral and cognitive dimensions of the career construction model by identifying followed career paths. Secondly, we turn our focus to the role of digital communications in career construction and, thirdly, the study examines the geographical dimension of the model. We find that involvement with farming entails complex career patterns that evolve into passion. Whether their involvement follows planned or unplanned paths, protean career attitudes, desire to experiment, and a strong sense of career self‐concept play significant roles in shaping the career narratives. “Experience” and “management” dimensions of online communication drive the construction of careers as a part of a professional identity mechanism. Our results reveal that the “island effect” (maintaining a part‐time farming culture) plays a role in cohesive singular and multiple career self‐concepts.

“…“The proximity variable is meant as a proxy for isolation and therefore the extent to which island life can actually unfold (as against it being a replica of that unfolding on the mainland close by)” (Baldacchino, 2018, p. xviii). However, “there are the islands no longer isolated because a bridge, causeway or tunnel has been built out to/from them, so functionally, at least, they have lost their individual status” (Royle, & Brinklow, 2018, p. 13).…”

“…Islanders' identity and their mental connection with the island is an important factor: “Islanders identify who they are in relation to the rest of the world; their island is a platform on which they firmly plant their feet. Sense of place and belonging are profound human needs” (Royle & Brinklow, 2018, p. 11).…”

This article proposes a general community‐based tourism (CBT)‐oriented framework that could be used as a guideline by policymakers dealing with tourism development in small islands. It investigates fundamental issues related to tourism and advances possible solutions utilizing a specific form of alternative tourism within a sustainable tourism context that considers the well‐being of the local population, especially the disadvantaged sector of society. As such, the article captures recurrent critical issues relating to tourism and proposes a model that represents various elements to consider when drafting policies. It emphasizes ecotourism that has long been considered the most sustainable form of tourism. Some of the findings and characteristics of the model could be useful for remote destinations in general.

“…Whilst there is agreement among scholars that an island is a piece of land surrounded by water, "this says nothing about what makes islands matter to people-to those who live on them, to those who look upon them" (Grydehøj, 2020). Scholarship in the context of islands often relies on the concepts of either insularity (considering the physical boundedness of islands as their core characteristic) or islandness, referring to both the actual physical characteristics of the island (like cliffs, beaches or other geographical features) and to its effects on human islanders (Royle & Brinklow, 2018). For Edward Warrington and David Milne (2007, p.38), insularity is the complex interplay of geography and history.…”

Even though the relational turn within Island Studies has long revoked the equation of islands with insularity, disconnectedness and backwardness, these ascriptions are still often deterministically attributed to islands, mainly by non-island scholars. Thereby these designations are not only reproduced, but connections, dynamics, different forms of embeddedness and entanglements remain overlooked. This paper has two main goals: (1) Adding to the relational turn in Island Studies by not only arguing for more inductive approaches to seriously engage with these situated and changing manifestations and meaningmakings of islands, and (2) by drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Malta, we introduce the concept of 'islandscape' (Broodbank 2000) to the Island Studies literature. Through the lens of islandscape, islands can be researched as nodal points of the local, national and global without reproducing 'islandism' while still acknowledging the importance of the island. The combination of-scape and assemblage-thinking which is already present within Island Studies makes it possible to address the tension between global and local and, rather, to look at which concrete, situated assemblages emerge within islandscape. In this sense, we propose to think of the island as islandscape from the very beginning of research, then to show how this islandscape is actually constituted and then to describe partial moments of stabilisation in terms of assemblages.
