The past pages suggest that a sense of place, the different modes of identification with a territory and what lives on it by which someone may find her or his own placement, would be inseparable from a certain form of physical proximity, yet it would not be enough. Belonging is evidently more complex than just physically appearing in a place: the territory can remain foreign, alien, detached from what those who inhabit it consider “theirs”. Becoming part would require an active transformation of a strange realm into a home, an oikos, a familiar place to dwell. As suggested through the ethnographic descriptions of the different chapters of this work, this construction would be made in many different forms and levels, starting from the need to survive in the face of tough natural surrounding forces, which are experienced as threatening.
