Herrenes historie, igjen?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)Når noen av dagens voksne, kvinnelige historikere møtes, hender det at vi mimrer om vår egen tid som hovedfagsstudenter. Vi tenker tilbake på et historiefag som var sterkt mannsdominert. Det fantes få fast ansatte kvinnelige historikere, selv om de som var der preget historiefaget positivt og ga verdifulle bidrag til forskning og fagutvikling. Som unge kvinner var vi forundret og rystet over den ... -
Depictions of Laestadianism 1850-1950
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-23)The issue to be discussed here is how society’s views of the Laestadian revival has changed over the course of the revival movement’s first 100 years. The article claims that society’s emerging view of the revival is characterized by two different positions. The first period is typical of the last part of the nineteenth century and is characterized by the fact that the evaluation of the revival took ... -

The neuropsychology of religious experience. A review of different scientific approaches to the phenomenon / Neuropsicología de la experiencia religiosa. Una revisión de distintas aproximaciones científicas al fenómeno
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-13)The current article is a critical review of the neuropsychological study of religious experience. First, we analyse the philosophical and theological roots of the term and its characterization as a sui generis and unique phenomenon. We subsequently describe the adoption of the concept in psychology, as well as the emergence of alternative approaches that emphasize the role of categorization of ... -
Modes of indigenizing: remarks on indigenous religion as a method
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-23)Romanticisms, not colonialisms, drive the indigenizing and the religionizing in the cases described and analyzed in this special issue. In what follows, I shall explain what I mean by this observation and suggest ways to think about it critically. The task of this essay is to highlight entangled methodological and political contexts for the discussion about “indigenizing” that Graham Harvey opened ... -
Climatic changes cause synchronous population dynamics and adaptive strategies among coastal hunter-gatherers in Holocene northern Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)Synchronized demographic and behavioral patterns among distinct populations is a well-known, natural phenomenon. Intriguingly, similar patterns of synchrony occur among prehistoric human populations. However, the drivers of synchronous human ecodynamics are not well understood. Addressing this issue, we review the role of environmental variability in causing human demographic and adaptive responses. ... -
Historisk arkeologi i Norge – en metadebatt
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)In 1992, the constitution and future of Norwegian medieval and historical archaeology was debated in META. The discussion concerned the definition “historical archaeology” itself, and the potential need for this subfield to be established as a discipline in its own right. The aim was to strengthen a weak academic framework for this branch of archaeology. In the end, such a separate discipline was ... -
Anticipated futures? Knowing the heritage of drift matter
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-06)What might heritage in and of the Anthropocene look like? This article ponders this question by drawing on archaeological encounters with assemblages of drift matter (seaborne debris) in Norway and Iceland. Here, drift matter manifests evidence of both the relentlessly amassing material heritage of the Anthropocene and deep legacies of local engagement with this fluctuating resource. The tensions ... -
Brodtkorbneset and Steintjørna: Two Hearth-Row Sites in Pasvik, Arctic Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)During the Viking Age and the early medieval period, hearth row sites became a distinct feature of Sámi settlements over the vast interior region of northern Fennoscandia. Consisting of large, rectangular hearths organized in a linear pattern, these sites represent a new way of organizing domestic space and also reflect new environmental preferences. In this paper, the author gives an overview ... -
Convergent catastrophes and the termination of the Arctic Norwegian Stone Age: A multi-proxy assessment of the demographic and adaptive responses of mid-Holocene collectors to biophysical forcing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)Using multiple archeological and paleoenvironmental proxies, this paper makes the case for a climate-induced convergent catastrophe among the human population of terminal Stone Age Arctic Norway. We show that climatic changes correlate with the termination of the so-called Gressbakken phase (4200–3500 cal BP), and unpack the middle-range mechanisms linking the Gressbakken termination to contemporaneous ... -
Food and Cultural Traits in Coastal Northern Finnmark in the 14th-19th Centuries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-06)In this study, we used stable isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating to study diet, mobility and chronology in two late medieval/historical coastal populations in northern Norway. We have shown that the individuals buried at Kirkegårdsøya date between 1331 and 1953 cal AD and had a homogenous marine diet, whereas the individuals buried at Gullholmen had a more heterogeneous diet, consisting of both ... -
Caring for the dead? An alternative perspective on Sámi reburial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-29)This article is an effort to critically discuss Sámi repatriation and reburial practice based on the analysis of five repatriation cases. Since the seminal repatriation (and burial) of the skulls of Somby and Hætta in Gávvuonna/Kåfjord in 1997, and the more recent reburial of 94 skeletons in Njauddâm/Neiden in 2011, a precedent seems established in Norway that allows the unconditional reburial of ... -
Mo birget soadis (how to cope with war) - Adaptation and resistance in Sámi relations to Germans in wartime Sápmi, Norway and Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-09)The article studies the Sámi experiences during the ‘German era’ in Norway and Finland, 1940–1944, before the Lapland War. The Germans ruled as occupiers in Norway, but had no jurisdiction over the civilians in Finland, their brothers-in-arms. In general, however, encounters between the local people and the Germans appear to have been cordial in both countries. Concerning the role of racial ideology, ... -
Bonde og borgerkrig - Lokalkonflikter og de norske innbyrdesstridene
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Historians have traditionally treated peasant unrest in late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Norway as part of a wider challenge to royal authority, as kings struggled to suppress political adversaries and rival claimants to the throne. This article seeks to shed greater light on this assumed correlation by analysing changing patterns of peasant mobilization. To do so, it proposes a terminological ... -

Su interés es explicar los procesos cognitivos que subyacen a las creencias y prácticas religiosas, así como situar las mismas en la historia natural y evolutiva de nuestra especie. En el presente artículo se describirá dicho campo interdisciplinario ... -

Trollkvinnen som fiendebilde
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08)På 1500- og 1600-tallet ble rettsforfulgte trollkvinner brent på bål i Nord-Europa. Tankegods fra en lærd doktrine kalt demonologi hadde betydning for forestillingen om trollkvinnen som en farlig fiende. I denne artikkelen vil jeg undersøke hvordan den demonologiske kontstruksjonen av trolldom kommer fram under rettssaker mot de som angivelig skulle ha utført den. -
Beyond Presentism: Heritage and the Temporality of Things
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-27)Heritage is often seen as a symptom of a temporally disjointed and all-pervasive present which shapes the pasts it requires to make up for the failures of linear, modern and progressive history. As a consequence, the pasts in heritage are often regarded as the result of unidirectional processes of attributing value to largely compliant materials. This article explores the constitutive role of materials ...
