Variations of ethnic boundary significance in north Norway
In coastal north Norway the Saami people have lived in a close relationship with Norwegians or Norse people for a thousand years or more. This relationship has been articulated in various ways over the centuries, and this article argues that in parts of the region it took a rather intimate form based on the shared exploitation of the dominant marine and terrestrial niches, a common class position as tenant farmers, a varying practice of inter-eth…

La gestion interne de la diversité
L'évolution des relations interethniques entre les Norvégiens et le peuple indigène des Sames 1 , installés sur la côte nord du pays, est abordée ici dans une perspective historique qui privilégie le rôle joué par l'État dans la construction de l'« Autre ». Pendant une période d'environ cent cinquante ans, une assimilation ethnique parfois brutale est responsable d'une réduction radicale des distinctions ethniques. Toutefois, depuis trente à quar…

Anthropological knowledge in the courtroom. Conflicting paradigms
Dans les litiges concernant les revendications de terres inities par les peuples aborigenes, le fardeau de la preuve incombe en principe aux requerants. Ils doivent apporter la preuve qu'ils possedaient le territoire en question au moment ou il fut colonise, et qu'ils constituent une 'societe ordonnee' d'apres les criteres etablis par la loi, ou que leur usage est acceptable d'apres le droit coutumier. Dans ces litiges, les plaignants ou la cour …
Cultural Policies on the North Calotte
This article discusses cultural policies in the north from a historical as well as a spatial perspective. A distinctive feature of the nation-states' policy towards northerners has been to divide them by drawing national borders across the symmetric east-west relationships which emerged during several thousand years of interaction. As such, the presence of the nation-states represents an asymmetric dominance. Since the borders were determined the…
The Significance of Borders in the East European Transition
This article addresses the recent proliferation of small‐scale trading in East Europe with a special emphasis on the profits and perils associated with border‐crossing. The political, economic and symbolic aspects of state borders have changed significantly since 1989, and the economic opportunities associated with border‐crossing as ‘trader‐tourists’ represent one of the major challenges to varying categories of the populations to engage in acti…
Outclassed by Former Outcasts
People caught in circumstances of social upheaval differ in the ways in which they adjust to instability and change. Occasionally individuals at less privileged socioeconomic levels engage in socially devalued practices such as the small-scale trading enterprises that have been degraded ideologically during 45 years of communist rule in Bulgaria. In this article we explore the ways in which people adjust to change by examining ethnographically th…
Two Epochs of Norwegian‐Russian trade relations
This article addresses the trade relationship between Northern Norway and Northwest Russia as it unfolded during two different epochs: the original Pomor trade from the 17th century until 1919, and the much shorter period in 1992 when visiting Russian ‘trader‐tourists’ sold petty commodities on the streets of North Norwegian towns. A comparison is made in terms of the significance of the commodities characterizing the two epochs; they reflected a…
Recollections of the past and categories of the present
This article intends to demonstrate the relationship between particular events in the past as they are recollected in the memories of informants in a coastal community in North Norway, and the changes that they signify both in the mutual ascriptions of identities and in the distribution of important assets. These changes in turn affect structural aspects of the community. The main argument is that recollections of the past often present us with l…
Mixed’ decent and ethnogenesis ‐ some comparative considerations of contact situations in the north
This article deals with the social categorization of descendants of inter‐ethnic alliances. Varying circumstances generate different rules of ascription of identity to such populations, and a comparative approach may thus elucidate some of the basic variables that are operative in ethnogenetic processes. Three examples have been chosen in order to explore such processes: a community of coastal Sami in North Norway, the Aleuts of Alaska and the Me…
One community - one people? Ethnicity and demography in a North-Norwegian community 1865-1930
This article demonstrates how the ethno-demographic composition of a particular local community changes dramatically during a period of 65 years according to the population censuses, although migration is of minor importance. The changes are explained partly as a consequence of an increase in interethnic marriages which produces a growing number of inhabitants with a "mixed" ethnic background, and partly as a change in registration practices conc…
Acculturation and ethnic survival
≪The so‐called ≪Norwegianization≫ of the Sami population in parts of North‐Norway has been described in rather broad terms as a process towards a more or less complete assimilation of the minority group. However, the study of this process affronts some methodological problems. Being a process of recodification of basic identities, we ideally need data on how members of the different ethnic categories perceived each other and what impact these mut…
Paternalism, Patronage, and Potlatch
The intention of this article is to call anthropologists' attention to some of the theoretical and applied implications of paternalism and to report findings from field research on this question. Having defined paternalism as interference with another's autonomy justified in terms of the wish to benefit him, the article focusses on state (or bureaucratic) paternalism. Its principal concern is the effect of paternalism on corporate groups and cate…
