Training on Terra Nullius? A decolonial approach to militarisation in Sápmi and Northern Finland
Whose settler colonial state? Arctic Railway, state transformation and settler self-indigenization in Northern Finland
Settler colonial theory has effectively highlighted the continuity of\ncolonial structures, but less attention has been paid on how also\nthe settler state has transformed over time, and how such changes\nhave affected the manifold relationships between the state, the\nsettlers and the natives. This article addresses trajectories of settler\ncolonial change in Finland, building on theories of state spatial\ntransformation and taking the recurring…
Institutionalization, neo-politicization and the politics of defining Sámi research
This article critically examines recent changes in the social terrain of Sámi research in Finland, where the research field is subject to a new wave of academic institutionalization, and where questions regarding “Sáminess” have become particularly prominent. The article argues that in this conjuncture of institutionalization and neo-politicization, definitions of Sámi research which emphasize its political and ethical qualities (“Sámi research” …
Indigenous Culture Jamming
This article examines the work of the anonymous Sámi artist and activist group Suohpanterror as an example of Indigenous culture jamming, which uses global visual archives and the social media to articulate a contemporary Sámi subjectivity politically. In a short time, Suohpanterror has gained national and international recognition as a new Sámi voice, which is challenging earlier representations and conceptions of the Sámi. However, instead of f…
Cultural studies of extraction
The special double issue at hand offers Cultural Studies engagements with extractivism and the myriad of conflicts, struggles and other processes and phenomena that have risen together with the on-going intensification and expansion of extractivist industries and exploitation. In this article, we examine the political and epistemological stakes of these engagements, and introduce the different perspectives from which the notions of extractivism a…
Late Modern Palestine
Late Modern Palestine looks at the ways in which the relationship between the subject and representation and the political problematic of postcolonial late modernity is articulated in the context of the Palestinians’ struggle for liberation. Junko-Aikio provides a rich, theoretically and empirically, and in part also visually grounded study of the complex ways in which ordinary Palestinians face, negotiate and resist multiple regimes of power and…
Can the Sámi speak Now
Deconstructive research ethos and the debate on who is a Sa mi in FinlandThis article analyses the on-going debate concerning Smi definition in Finland, in order to examine some of the challenges that indigenous and minority voices are facing within the increasingly 'postcolonial' and 'postmodern' academia.Since the late 1960s, universities and institutions of higher education have been nodal points in a broad range of social and political strugg…
Articulation, national unity and the aesthetics of living against occupation in Elia Suleiman’s Palestine Trilogy
This article interrogates questions of political subjectivity and representation in the context of late modern colonialism, by reading Elia Suleiman’s Palestine trilogy against a wider history of Palestinian political articulation. It suggests that Suleiman’s films detach the Palestinians’ struggle from the national paradigm, and create a political aesthetics that does not reduce the Palestinians to passive victims, nor depends upon their ability…
Late Modern Subjects of Colonial Occupation
Despite the abundance of research on Palestine, studies of Palestinian political subjectivity and agency tend to adhere to the dominant analytical frames of nationalism and/or Islamism. This has led to the neglect of a variety of socio-economic and political developments that do not fit these frameworks. Working against the dominant trend, the present essay attempts to understand Palestinian politics in relationship to the wider changes associate…
