Through a critical reading of previous research, this article explores local and indigenous cultures in the context of Nordic Arctic tourism and how its consequences have been researched in Nordic tourism research. We show that experiences with, practices of and controversies over the representation and presence (or absence) of local and indigenous culture in tourism take on very many different ...

This chapter draws upon the experience and inspiration behind the making of an essayistic documentary for the twenty-first century. A line from “Dream-Land” (1844) by the Romantic poet Edgar Allan Poe inspires the film title. The film is a journey that details the people–places in the Sámi landscapes, made by the figure of an Indigenous anthropologist performing as an earthling, a figure participating ...

Jeg har gjennom flere år innehatt studentpolitiske verv, og hadde gjennom disse deltatt i prinsippielle debatter som fikk konsekvenser for utformingen av mitt hovedfagsprosjekt.

Truly transdisciplinary approaches are needed to tackle the complex problems that the Arctic is facing at the moment. Collaboration between Indigenous rights holders and researchers through co-creative research approaches can result in high-quality research outcomes, but crucially also address colonial legacies and power imbalances, enhance mutual trust, and respect the rights of Indigenous ...

For å kunne utdype argumentasjon om minner som del av et landskap, vil jeg sette Gullestads ...

What basic paradoxes and challenges will be met when one wants to achieve growth in Sami tourism and the creative cultural industries? It is believed that Sami culture has an unredeemed potential as a product and attraction in the new and major initiatives ...

In this article we travel through theorizing towards what we think Indigenous knowledge does, and how it works and gets presented, by using the concept of the pluriverse. As three researchers concerned with Indigenous studies, we ask how we create and share stories that bring us together in communities and become possible to be shared in the inter-existence of multiple worlds. With locally embedded ...

Hvordan kan en tettere sammenkobling mellom samiske kreative næringer og reiseliv bidra til nytenking om bærekraft, innovasjon og formidling av samisk kunnskap om natur og kultur – og slik bidra til utvikling av mat- og kulturopplevelser som gagner mangfoldet i Sápmi.
