Historical reflections on Sámi art and the paradigm of the National in Norwegian art history.
Author
Grini, MonicaAbstract
Whose
story
is
told
in
the
history
of
art?
There
are
many
different
answers
to
that
question
depending
on
which
art
history
one
refers
to
and
on
the
perspective
applied
to
examine
these
histories.
One
approach
is
to
look
at
the
traditional
framework
for
such
examinations
–
which
to
a
large
degree
still
includes
categories
such
as
state,
place
and
nation.
Sápmi,
the
Sámi
area,
can
be
understood
as
a
nation
embracing
four
nation-‐states:
Norway,
Sweden,
Finland
and
Russia.
Since
the
19th
century,
the
history
of
art
has
been
considered
part
of
the
nation-‐
state’s
inventory.
The
production
of
art
history
has
played,
and
still
plays,
a
role
in
the
constitution
and
the
maintenance
of
different
nation-‐states.
How
is
Sámi
art
presented
in
Norwegian
art
history
and
what
are
the
roles
of
the
national
paradigm
in
this
presentation?
