Creating political spaces at sea - governmentalisation and governability in Norwegian fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-30)
How do technologies of power make the world governable? The understanding of how management techniques create governability remains rather poor. In this article, I analyse how spatial regulation in Norwegian fisheries direct human behaviour towards scientific, political, and administrative objectives. Like other fisheries’ regulations, they contribute to governmentalisation and governability, and ...

The Cyborgization of the Fisheries : on Attempts to Make Fisheries Management Possible
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)
Although natural resource exploitation has a long tradition, modern resource management is a more recent phenomenon. The huge variety in natural resource exploitation has made it difficult to place the industrial harvesting of marine living resources under political and managerial control. For most of history fish and fishing people have for all practical purposes been unmanageable.
From the late ...
Power and the Production of Science. Assessing Cod Stocks as the Mechanistic Fishery Collapses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)
This paper discusses power relations in the production of knowledge
claims and the validation of management strategies. The experience of doing
stock assessment science and creating management plans for Canada’s east coast
cod fishery illustrates this general process. We demonstrate that the cyborgization
of fisheries-management is limited by its inability to produce power for stabilizing
the ...
Governing the fisher body – safety as body-politics and fisheries governance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-12)
Body Mass Index (BMI) is not only the prevailing tool used for defining and diagnosing
obesity, but it is also a tool that intervenes into fisheries governance, and into fishers’
lives and bodies. All fishers on board vessels over 100 gross tons (GT) must hold a
seaman’s licence; too high a BMI may lead to a “loss-of-licence” and the inability to
undertake their occupation. From a governmentality ...
Local empowerment through the creation of coastal space?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Developments in national fisheries and marine environmental policies during the last 30 years have changed the
relationship between coastal communities and the marine resources that people in these communities traditionally harvested. In Norway,
for example, when the state authorities have made decisions to defend what they regard as national interests, the local level has been
left with authority ...
The creation of coastal space – how local ecological knowledge becomes relevant
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Since the 1990s, substantial efforts have been invested in Local Ecological
Knowledge (LEK) research, but LEK has only been applied in western fisheries and
resource management to a limited extent. The attempts to link LEK to model-based
fish stock assessment seem to have failed largely because the format of LEK does
not fit into the models currently in use. However, LEK is still relevant for ...
Pushed or pulled? Understanding fishery exit in a welfare society context
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
For a long time the number of fishers in Norway has declined. Is the decline the result of an increasingly difficult situation for Norwegian fishers or can other factors have had an impact? Or in other words: are fishers pushed out or pulled out of the fisheries? Our analyses are based on a survey among retired fishers and suggest several reasons for exit: in addition to structural push and pull ...
Introduction to the themed issue - Poststructural approaches to fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-15)
This themed issue of papers for Maritime Studies emerges out of a special session
of the MARE 2015 conference held in Amsterdam. The aim of this Introduction is to
provide a brief background to poststructural scholarship drawing on examples and
cases from research on fisheries. We argue that a poststructural sensibility has made
an important impact on scholars interested in fisheries issues even ...
Reconstructing governability: How fisheries are made governable
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-15)
Governability is an important concept in the political and environmental social sciences with increasing application to socio‐ecological systems such as fisheries. Indeed, governability analyses of fisheries and related systems such as marine‐protected areas have generated innovative ways to implement sustainability ideals. Yet, despite progress made, we argue that there remain limitations in current ...
