Toward sustainable attunement? Sensory and embodied experiences of vegans in Iceland
This article deals with the embodied and sensory experiences of individuals in Iceland who have become vegan in recent years. Grounded in ethnology and theoretically informed by embodied and relational approaches to eating, the study employs the concept of attunement to analyze empirical material from in-depth interviews with eighteen vegans aged 21–63 years old, as well as thirty-five written responses from another group of vegans to an online q…
Folklore and Cultural Heritage
The article discusses the concepts of "folklore" and "cultural heritage" and their historical development as responses to social transformations. It compares the field of folklore in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the present-day heritage field, highlighting the specific ways in which each field has risen to the challenges of its time and addressing their potential pitfalls. The author emphasizes the power of these concepts to sh…
Mother Cultures
This article explores long-standing symbiotic relations between women and microbes in Iceland while analysing the transformation of this relationship in the making of the dairy product skyr during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In the past, differences in microbial cultures and production methods meant that the taste and texture of skyr varied greatly. Standardisation and technological innovations have steadily impoverished its microbi…
Stirring Up Skyr
In recent years, the Icelandic dairy product skyr has been transformed from an everyday staple to a national food heritage. Skyr is high in protein and low in fat, and its nutritional value accounts for its international success. However, the domestic and international marketing of skyr glide effortlessly from medieval literature to modern healthy living in promoting skyr as a unique, wholesome, and authentic product: heritage food and Iceland's …
Making Intangible Heritage
Intangible Heritage as a Festival; or, Folklorization Revisited
Looking at examples of cultural practices listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage, this article appropriates the term "folklorization" from authenticity discourses and argues that the current heritagization of social practices is an aspect of the infusion of folkloristic/ethnological knowledge, perspectives, and concepts into the public sphere as part of modernity's reflexivity. Aptly named "folklorization," this infusion marks the success of the…
Patrimonial Reflections
The author of this paper argues that the rise of cultural heritage is perhaps the chief example of a newfound valuation of cultural practices and objects in terms of their expediency for economic and political purposes. This is culture as a resource: a novel configuration in which culture is now a central expedient in everything from creating jobs to reducing crime, from changing the face of cities through cultural tourism to managing differences…

The Constant Muse
Beginning with nineteenth-century allegations that Hans Christian Andersen lifted the tale of “Lucky Hans” from the Grimm brothers and that the Grimms lifted “The Princess on the Pea” from Andersen, this essay proposes a genealogy of contemporary representations of creative agency, given shape through the regime of authorship and force of law through the regime of copyright. Juxtaposing the author with the folk as two modern figures of creative a…
