The grounds of Gallipoli
This article deals with the meanings and agencies of earth in the making of memory. We consider the role of the soil at the Gallipoli peninsula, in today’s Turkey, a key First World War battlefield and a nodal point of national memories, especially for Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. Informed by more-than-human approaches to heritage and memory and drawing on contemporary site visits as well as historical sources, we discuss the Gallipoli peni…
Invasive materialities
This article discusses the qualities and affordances of the remaining World War II bunkers still found along Europe's Western coastline. Drawing on ethnographic and historical material from a Danish section of the line, and on my involvement in establishing an alternative film festival among these ruins, I explore the bunkers as 'invasive' materialities, that is, externally imposed structures, still conceived in various ways as foreign, intrusive…
The End (and After) in Ethnographic Worlds
This is the introduction to a special issue of Ethnos entitled "The End and After", edited by Noa Vaisman and Mads Daugbjerg
European Bodies
In this special issue we focus on processes of europeanisation and the work of colonial legacies and their impact on the production of the european body, a body that is always already racialised, classed and gendered. ‘european body’ can be observed in discourses and practices that constitute the normal/desired/legitimate body and concomitantly impacts notions about the civilised/cultured body, often linked to whiteness, secularism, legitimate cl…
Heroes Once Again
This article addresses a peculiar historical moment in contemporary Denmark, a nation coming to grips with its increased involvement in the 'coalition' wars of recent decades, especially in Afghanistan. It explores how and why, in a Scandinavian society previously conceived as a bastion of tolerance, humanitarianism and pacifism, a new preoccupation with and support for war participation-often referred to as Danish 'activism'-seems to be on the r…
The 'distant war' up close and personal
This paper discusses the crafting of trustworthy knowledge about war as tensioned between ideals of distance and proximity. I draw on field material assembled at the Danish Arsenal Museum in Copenhagen over the spring and summer of 2013. In an exhibition entitled The Distant War, set up in close cooperation with the Danish armed forces and with actual involvement of Afghanistan veterans, the museum immersed visitors in a three-dimensional, hands-…
Becoming a warring nation
This introduction sets the frame for the section’s four articles, all themed on contemporary developments in Denmark in the wake of the country’s involvement in the ‘coalition’ wars of recent decades. During this period, Danish governments have adopted a so-called ‘activist’ foreign policy, a key element of which is the increased utilization of its armed forces in operations across the globe. These processes are interesting, not least because the…
Patchworking the past
This article investigates the power of things and materials in the context of historical re-enactment. Based on ethnographic fieldwork among costumed re-enactors reinvigorating the American Civil War, it explores participants’ close connections to specific objects and ensembles of objects and the crucial role awarded to ‘experience’ and ‘touch’ in this genre of relating to the past. It is argued that three interrelated propositions derived from m…
Re-enacting the past
Playing with fire
This paper takes up the ambiguities of embracing ‘experiential’ and ‘playful’ ways of learning at war sites. It takes as its point of departure the widespread tendencies in the heritage industry to align communication to new emotional and playful ways of learning about the past and goes on to demonstrate and discuss how these assert themselves at a specific Danish war site. The links between the concepts of heritage, experience, romanticism and n…
Introduction
Wherever one looks today, “heritage” abounds. Whether conceived as material or immaterial legacies, as a sphere of commercial potential or as an anchor of belonging, references to heritage are omni
Not Mentioning the Nation
Former sites of war, and particularly those which have been elevated to icons of noble defeat, traditionally serve as powerful national signifiers. At the Danish field of Dybbøl, however, a seemingly novel anti‐national or cosmopolitan stance is emerging. This paper investigates contemporary tendencies to silence or not mention the nation at Dybbøl, a site formerly associated with profound pro‐Danish and anti‐German sentiments. So where did the n…
Pacifying War Heritage
Former battlefields are often held to be important nodes in national iconographies. This article offers an analysis of a Danish battlefield site which has historically been taken to epitomise fervently ethnic national qualities. The article traces significant shifts in the ways its relevance has been and currently is being imagined and expressed. The heritage and commemorative practices conducted here are analysed as an ongoing symbolic struggle …
En oplevelse af oplysning
At the historical battlefield of Dybbøl in southern Denmark, the Danish defeat at the hands of the Prussian army in 1864 is commemorated. Focusing on visitors’ practice at two widely different institutions devoted to the telling of the Dybbøl story, the article analyses the relationship between rational enlightenment and sensuous experience in the interpretation of war heritage. Scott Lash’s idea of a ‘second modernity’ is utilised in criticising…

At begribe det uhåndgribelige – og beskytte det
Konference om den immaterielle kulturarv 8. december 2005, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, København.UNESCO-konventionen fra 2003 om beskyttelse af verdens immaterielle kulturarv står foran en eventuel ratificering i Danmark. Men hvad skal man overhovedet forstå ved begrebet ’immateriel kulturarv’, som udvider det i forvejen vagt definerede kulturarvsbegreb, og giver det mening at ville sikre og beskytte den immaterielle arv på linje med den fysiske? Ko…
De gode gamle dage genoplivet
Levendegørelse af fortiden er et mantra for formidlingen på en række frilandsmuseer og kulturhistoriske attraktioner, som søger at gøre op med museumsverdenens støvede image. Artiklen her sætter fokus på levendegørelsens praksis: på en række konkrete, strukturelle og kommunikative vanskeligheder og dilemmaer, som mødet mellem gæster og 'levende' aktører er underlagt, og som i nogen grad synes uerkendte på museerne. Analysen trækker på materiale f…
