    • A contemporary archaeology of pandemic 

      Magnani, Matthew Walker; Magnani, Natalia; Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Farstadvoll, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-19)
      Global crises drastically alter human behavior, rapidly impacting patterns of movement and consumption. A rapid-response analysis of material culture brings new perspective to disasters as they unfold. We present a case study of the coronavirus pandemic in Tromsø, Norway, based on fieldwork from March 2020 to April 2021. Using a methodology rooted in social distancing and through systematic, diachronic, ...

    • Decolonizing production healing, belonging, and social change in sápmi 

      Magnani, Natalia; Magnani, Matthew Walker (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-06)
      The theory and practice of decolonization present an awkward paradox: How can social change occur in everyday life to disrupt state structures while entangled with the mundane, social, and institutional practices and representations that perpetuate state power? In Sápmi, the transborder Indigenous Sámi homeland, decolonization has been intertwined with the institutionalization of Sámi governance ...

    • How to Record Current Events like an Archaeologist 

      Magnani, Matthew Walker; Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Farstadvoll, Stein; Magnani, Natalia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-15)
      This article shows how to record current events from an archaeological perspective. With a case study from the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway, we provide accessible tools to document broad spatial and behavioral patterns through material culture as they emerge. Stressing the importance of ethical engagement with contemporary subjects, we adapt archaeological field methods—including geolocation, ...

    • Material Methods for a Rapid-Response Anthropology 

      Magnani, Natalia; Magnani, Matthew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-13)
      Sudden crises frustrate anthropological methodologies. Our discipline aspires to engaged scholarship in dialogue with community and public concerns. Yet timely social analysis must address the ephemeral and unpredictable, running against the rhythm of anthropological fieldwork and publication. When social distancing precludes typical ethnographic engagements, how may we adapt anthropological approaches?

    • Reflections of Movement 

      Magnani, Natalia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-16)
      Human mobility is perpetuated at the intersection of opportunity and pressure. In this photographic essay, I explore reverberations of movement from the Arctic to East Africa, where I have done ethnographic fieldwork or passed through on my own anthropological and personal journey. The photos compare continuities of movement for transborder Skolt Sámi communities in Fennoscandia, sedentarized East ...

    • Small collections remembered: Sámi material culture and community-based digitization at the Smithsonian Institution 

      Magnani, Matthew Walker; Porsanger, Jelena; Laiti, Sami; Magnani, Natalia; Olli, Anne May; Rauhala, Paula; Valkeapää, Henrik Samuel; Hollinger, Eric (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-18)
      Of the 158 million things housed by the Smithsonian Institution, about 56 objects originate from Sámi communities. By all accounts a small group of objects—even by the standards of the Arctic collections at the Institution—it may be easily overlooked or dismissed as insignificant, based on entrenched ideologies about idealized collections. Presenting a community-based methodology for the engagement ...
