Globally, Indigenous peoples resist capitalist expansion, while climate change accelerates destruction of our landscapes and lifeworlds. In Saepmie, the Saami homelands, the double burden from climate change and its mitigation measures has been named green colonialism. In this thesis, I study epistemic controversies in Saami reindeer herding landscapes and explore how they are entangled in Nordic-Saami ...

I denne studien har vi undersøkt hvordan lærerstudentene opplevde arbeidet med FoUoppgaven på 3. studieår når praksislærer ble frikjøpt fra skolen én dag i uka og kunne være mer til stede i veiledningsprosessen. Data ble samlet inn gjennom spørreskjema til alle studentene og i tillegg gjennom fokusgruppeintervju med studentene som hadde utvidet samarbeid med praksislærer. Resultatene viser at den ...

Rundt 1900 er arkeologien i Norge formalisert som vitenskapelig disiplin med vekt på det norske (Keller 1978, Opedal 1996). Det nasjonalistiske preget var ikke noe unikt for arkeologien her til lands; som den norske arkeologen Haakon Shetelig uttalte i 1910; “ det er nesten overalt det nationale som har været det drivende i den europeiske arkeologi” (Shetelig 1910:59). Til forskjell fra arkeologi i ...

This study investigates bilectal grammatical representation and processing using three ERP reading experiments in two Norwegian dialect regions. Northern Norwegian bilectals were tested in two separate sessions in two written varieties: the local written standard (Bokmål, n = 83) and Northern Norwegian dialect writing (n = 68). The study included both non-contrastive gender (control) and dialect-specific ...

There is a dearth of evidence, particularly sub-regional data, on surgical provisioning which is needed to aid planning.<p> <p>Aim and method This ...

This paper investigates how young refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience their new places of residence. We find inspiration in the idea of ‘contradictions of space’ (Kinkaid [2020]. “Re-encountering Lefebvre: Toward a Critical Phenomenology of Social Space.” Society and Space 38 (1): 167–186.) in exploring how young refugees navigate issues in rural life from housing, ...

This chapter describes the evolution of the Norwegian municipal chief executive officer (MCEO) from 1980 to 1992 and 2018, when the position was weakened politically but strengthened administratively. Today, the Norwegian MCEO corresponds to Mouritzen and Svara’s council–manager model, making it one of the most powerful in the Nordic region, second only to the Finish MCEO. Despite multiple significant ...

I show how for Orochen meat is the material intermediary between the human and nonhuman worlds, offered to the fire before meals and to animal spirit-masters during hunting. I suggest this demands ...
