Colonial Struggle and the Infrastructures of Knowing
The lodden is a duck hunt central to the practice of many indigenous Sámi people that has been controversially squeezed to near extinction by the Norwegian state. This chapter explores the lodden as a knowledge practice and contrasts this with those of the state and its science. It argues that all forms of knowledge depend on specific infrastructures of knowing because they draw on, weave together, and reproduce heterogenous epistemic, embodied, …
Indigenous Sámi
“Decolonization” has, since Linda Tuhiwai Smith published her critique of Western academic research, been a concept guiding scholars to address the unequal relationship between Indigenous and scientific knowledge. Decolonization is a move toward sovereignty regarding land, recognition of Indigenous ways of knowing, as well as rethinking education. Decolonial thinking is about attending to ontological troubles and about unlearning and undoing colo…
Afterword
How might we think about the fluidities of those who live in high variability environments when they butt up against state and disciplinary stabilities? This Afterword explores this question by distinguishing between infrastructures of stability and infrastructures of fluidity. The differences between these – which the paper calls the infrastructures of difference – are not simply conceptual, methodological and epistemological, but also deeply em…
Verbing meahcci
This article is about translating and mistranslating a Sámi landscape word. That word is meahcci. In what follows we start by exploring the logic of meahcci, contrast this with Norwegian land practices, with utmark - the term which is usually used to (mis)translate it into Norwegian - or such English-language terms as wilderness. We show that meahcci has nothing to do with agricultural logics, ideas of the wild, or cartographic spaces. Rather mea…
Translating a title
Present-day academic work is mostly done in English.What happens, or so the contributions to this monograph ask, when we open a few windows, let in some air, and invite elements drawn from other linguistic traditions into our texts?Doing so does not simply mean welcoming other words.Along with this it also changes the conditions, the terms, that stipulate what is, and what is not, good -proper, interesting, international, academic -writing.To exe…
Mis/translation, Colonialism, and Environmental Conflict
This article describes a colonial encounter in north Norway between Sámi practices for fishing and knowing the natural world, and the conservation policies of state policy makers. In Sámi practices the world is populated by powerful and morally lively human and nonhuman actors. In caring for the land and its lakes in practical ways it is important to sustain respectful relations with those actors. Norwegian environmental policy works differently …
