The beast from the east: Preparing for cross-border wild boars in Norway
After the battle: Emergent norms and the silencing of dissent in a Norwegian wind power community
In the small municipality of Åfjord on the Norwegian coast, home to one of Europe's largest onshore wind power installations, we observed a shift in critical attitudes towards a specific wind power development plan. Initially considered legitimate standpoints within an ongoing debate over land use, these viewpoints transformed into silenced opinions, or acquiescence, as the project progressed from the planning stage to fully operational wind powe…
Warranty for a better world? The politics of environmental knowledge in bioeconomic sustainability certificates
Sustainability certificates are increasingly used as tools for shaping bioeconomic production processes and trade. However, their specific effects are subjected to debate. A multitude of certificate schemes and standards are currently in use, defining and measuring sustainability in the bioeconomy in highly varying ways. Different representations of environmental effects, resulting from the use of different standards or scientific methods in cert…
Law Abiding Citizens: On Popular Support for the Illegal Killing of Wolves
Conflicts over wolf management are a stable feature of Norwegian public debate. In some segments of the population, nature management, and especially predator management, have a very low legitimacy. A strong expression of these controversies is the illegal killing of wolves, a practice sufficiently extensive to impact wolf population size. In several studies, the killing of wolves is interpreted as politically motivated resistance/crime of dissen…
Hunters who will not report illegal wolf killing: Self-policing or resistance with political overtones
Illegal killing of wildlife is challenging conservation efforts worldwide. Ecological research has shown that illegal killing is severely affecting the transboundary Swedish-Norwegian wolf population. A previous study indicated that unwillingness to report illegal killing of wolves among Swedish hunters contains an element of protest against perceived unjust treatment of hunting and hunters but that it could also simply be a reflection of ineffec…
“Don’t confuse me with facts”—how right wing populism affects trust in agencies advocating anthropogenic climate change as a reality
Everyday public denial of anthropogenically caused climate change (ACC) has complex antecedents and exists on both individual and institutional levels. Earlier research has linked ACC denial to opposition to formal science and elites, perceived threats to the industrialist capitalist order and existing system properties. Research also suggest that trust in public organizations is a key factor in determining support or opposition to climate change…
The Political Dimensions of Illegal Wolf Hunting: Anti-Elitism, Lack of Trust in Institutions and Acceptance of Illegal Wolf Killing among Norwegian Hunters
Qualitative studies have indicated that the illegal killing of wolves is often attributed a protest dimension. However, we have limited knowledge about the factors that impact this judgement. The present study investigates views on illegal wolf killing among Norwegian hunters and connects these views to background factors, hunting cultures, anti-elitism and the legitimacy of environmental institutions, probing the existence of a 'counterpublic' w…
Cool dudes in Norway: Climate change denial among conservative Norwegian men
In their article ‘Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States’ the authors state: ‘Clearly the extent to which the conservative white male effect on climate change denial exists outside the US is a topic deserving investigation.’ Following this recommendation, we report results from a study in Norway. McCright and Dunlap argue that climate change denial can be understood as an expression of protect…
Approval of Wolves in Scandinavia: A Comparison Between Norway and Sweden
Based on Norwegian and Swedish representative national samples, and samples from areas with large mammalian carnivores present, we investigated whether well-known predictors for approval of wolves may explain between-country differences. Swedes were in general more positive than Norwegians were, while respondents in large carnivore areas, regardless of nationality, were less positive. The profile of those who approved wolf presence was the same i…

(De)legitimising hunting – Discourses over the morality of hunting in Europe and eastern Africa
A walk in the woods: The effects of ethnicity, social class, and gender among urban Norwegian adolescents
Objectives: The main objective was to study the influences of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors on a popular Norwegian outdoor activity: walking in the woods. Design: Data from the large Young in Oslo 2006 (YiO 2006) youth survey is used to investigate the relationship between ethnic and class background and gender in relation to hiking in the woods. In the representative survey sample, 11 529 adolescent respondents aged 16 to 19 were …
When the lads go hunting: The 'Hammertown mechanism' and the conflict over wolves in Norway
Rural communities are changing. Depopulation and unemployment is accompanied by the advance of new perspectives on nature, where protection trumps resource extraction. These developments are perceived as threatening by rural working-class people with close ties to traditional land use - a situation they often meet with cultural resistance. Cultural resistance is not necessarily launched against institutionalized power, nor does it necessarily imp…

Cry Wolf: Narratives of Wolf Recovery in France and Norway
A bstract Due to strict protection through the last decades, wolves have returned to many areas from which they have been absent for a long time. This is a conservation success story, but the wolves also cause conflicts wherever they arrive. We have studied the situation in southeastern Norway and in the French Alps, where the conflict patterns are similar. Diverging interpretations of the situation are supported by narratives, and two varieties …
Reflexive tradition: Young working–class hunters between wolves and modernity
This article is based on a qualitative study of young working–class men who are dedicated hunters and hardcore wolf adversaries. Our aim is to make sense of their attitudes and practices regarding the re–appearance of wolves. They see the wolves as impeding their life projects: being hunters and outdoorsmen. Therefore, we discuss attitude formation in the light of theories of identity, paying special attention to the idea that identity formation …
Wolves and eco-power. A French-Norwegian analysis of the narratives on the return of large carnivores
The reappearance of wolves has led to conflicts in many rural areas. This paper focuses on South-Eastern Norway and the French Alps, where the conflict patterns are similar. Diverging interpretations of the situation are supported by narratives that are shared to varying degrees among those who occupy different positions within what we might term the « wolf field ». Among tliese narratives there are two varieties in both Norway and France that ca…
Loups et éco-pouvoir. Une analyse franco-norvégienne des récits sur le retour des grands prédateurs
Le retour des loups s'est accompagné de conflits dans de nombreuses régions rurales. Cet article porte sur le sud-est de la Norvège et sur les Alpes françaises, où ces conflits sont, dans leurs grandes lignes, similaires. Des récits, diversement partagés par des personnes qui occupent des positions variées dans ce que l'on peut appeler le « champ du loup », véhiculent des interprétations divergentes de la situation. Certains de ces récits, qui co…
A Wolf at the Gate: The Anti-Carnivore Alliance and the Symbolic Construction of Community
Controversies over the return of large carnivores (e.g. wolves) are often interpreted as clashes between rural traditionalism and urban modernity. Rural communities, however, have never been culturally monolithic, and modernization increases their diversity. However, the popular image is one of rural communities united against vermin and urban romantics. An important reason for this is probably the successful construction of the anti-carnivore fr…
Youth and the Environmental Movement - Symbolic Inclusions and Exclusions
The present study set out to use qualitative interviews in an effort to understand why young people from highly educated groups, especially from 'non-productive' sectors of the economy (public services, teaching, etc.), are found to have a relatively strong affinity to the environmental movement. Young people aged 15-20, who were members of organizations associated with the protection of or use of nature, were interviewed. In conclusion, we sugge…
Return of the Marlboro Man? Recreational Smoking among Young Norwegian Adults
Originally 'The Marlboro Man' symbolized autonomy, power and sexuality. Throughout the Western world, cigarette smoking has increasingly become associated with addiction, low social class and marginality. On the other hand, prevalence rates remain high in many countries, and few smoking prevention programmes seem effective. This paper distinguishes between recreational and daily smoking practices, and asks whether recreational smokers also fit th…
