Turbulent indigenous objects
This article addresses an ongoing controversy in Noway around designing and naming Sámi (indigenous) objects. The authors argue that controversies in many academic debates have been framed in essentializing ways that stress identity politics and believe this framing to be analytically and politically unfruitful. There are ways of thinking about or narrating tensions that are not essentialist and that do not close down productive ways of recognizi…
What Alters When the Traditional Sámi Costume Travels? A Study of Affective Investments in the Sápmi
The multiplicity of affective reactions released by just one object is at the core of Chapter 8. The authors describe how a retail chain staged a kick-off in northern Norway in what is also the territory of the indigenous Sámi population. To make it ‘authentic’, mock Sámi costumes made in China were given to the employees. This event caused an intense debate in the local and national media where opinions about the rights of indigenous people, col…

The article argues that the only way to give meaning to the Norwegian majority's suspicions is to look at how particular differences …
Working on the Ground. A Collective Biography of Feminine Subjectivities
In this paper we map the traces of power and knowledge as we read them at play in our own memories and as we make sense of them from a Foucauldian perspective. Our question here is twofold: how might we use Foucault to read our embodied memories of power and knowledge; and how might we use the analysis of those stories to enable us better to see the implications of Foucault's writing for the analysis of subjects' enmeshment in power/knowledge rel…
