      Kvidal-Røvik, Trine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-29)
      This article examines the potential for political or social change as part of postmodern cultural expression in consumer culture.

Postmodern aesthetic features merge commodifying, resistive, and ...
    • Mellom borealisme og orientalisme. Fortellinger og forestillinger om 'de andre' i nordlysturismen 

      Mathisen, Stein Roar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The article takes as its point of departure a media narrative, relating that Northern Lights tourists from the East are not only visiting the northern areas to experience the celestial phenomenon, as their actual hope is to conceive under the Lights. According to alleged old beliefs in the East, this is supposed to give handsomer, healthier, and more intelligent children. The location of these beliefs ...

      Kvidal-Røvik, Trine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-11)
      This article deals with how nature is articulated in public discourse, and more specifically how humans’ relationship to nature is constructed via such articulations. Based on critical cultural analyses of ads presented in a Norwegian context, the article claims articulations of nature serve to a depoliticization of nature, which silence social differences and reduce environmental politics ...

    • Nordlys, magi og turisme 

      Mathisen, Stein Roar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-02)
      Markedsføringen av naturfenomenet Aurora Borealis, eller nordlyset, har i de siste årene fått en særlig oppmerksomhet når det gjelder oppbyggingen av turisme som et vinterprodukt i NordNorge. I dette arbeidet benytter både markedsførerne og opplevelsesbedriftenes guider seg av ulike begreper og fortellinger. Formidlingen tar vanligvis utgangspunkt i det som oppfattes som to ytterpunkter.

      Falch, Torvald; Selle, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-29)
      Sametinget, som et direkte folkevalgt organ av og for samer, kan sies å være etablert for å utøve selvbestemmelse for et eget urfolkspolitisk fellesskap innenfor staten. Det er en institusjon som imidlertid har betydelige tillitsutfordringer hos samer og i sitt nære omland. Artikkelen ser på betingelsene for Sametingets relevans og rekkevidde for sikring av kulturelt fellesskap og tilrettelegging ...

      Wråkberg, Urban (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)

In Norway, the Euroarctic is marketed to tourists focusing on nature and wildlife. A limited set of branding elements is used: northern lights, ice hotels, dogsledding, “safaris” ...
