The Arctic-While the Ice is Melting
The exhibition The Arctic-While the Ice is Melting opened at the Nordic Museum in Stockholm in 2019 and is still on show, describing life in a changing climate and allowing its visitors to encounter several voices and perspectives of the past, present, and future. The three-year preparation for the exhibition involved collaboration between the Nordic Museum and Stockholm University. The museum was able to present transnational narratives with the…
Special Issue
Nowhere on earth is global warming happening as fast today as in the northernmost region. In many cases the situation is acute for both humans and other animals. But it is not only biotopes, but also long-since intertwined systems of nature and culture that are in accelerating processes of change. What was once portrayed as almost invincible is now associated with vulnerability. The situation is one of urgency for the four million people living i…
The Ritual Labor of Reconciliation
Having a dual perspective as researcher of expressive culture and museum curator, I engage in the ceremonial aspects of repatriation through a practice-based “museology from within.” Focusing on a handover of human remains by the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm to indigenous claimants from Australia (2004), I combine material from my own participant observation with sources such as interviews and written and photographic documentation. The aim…
Sensing Through White Gloves
The article discusses collectibles acquired by Swedish missionaries and military officers active within the ill-reputed Congo Free State (1885–1908). Objects are approached here not primarily as tokens of Congolese material culture but as traces of a transnational cultural history and as points of entry to a critical museology. Drawing on case studies of collections I discuss the ways in which artifacts have been selected, joined and charged with…
La leçon des choses
Le Musée ethnographique de Stockholm et le Musée des cultures du monde de Göteborg possèdent près de 18 000 objets « exotiques ». La plupart de ces objets ont été acquis par les missionnaires et les officiers suédois qui travaillaient dans l'État indépendant du Congo (1885-1908), la colonie belge à la réputation sulfureuse du roi Léopold II (1885-1909). L'auteur n'envisage pas ces collections comme autant de témoignages de la culture matérielle c…
Museisamlingarnas sociomateriella dynamik
The sociomaterial dynamics of museum collections” is an overarching research idea connecting three separate projects, with the aim of creating new knowledge about the roles of collections and collecting in the shaping of culture and society. The program includes three Swedish national museums that have been decisive in defining Sweden, Swedishness and the surrounding world – the Nordiska Museet (Swedish cultural history) the National Historical M…
