Museumsaktivisme for hestevelferd: Om kunnskapsforbindelser mellom Weary Willie på sydpolekspedisjon i 1911 og Saint Boy i De olympiske leker i 2021
Artikkelen argumenterer for at vi legitimerer bruk av natur med kulturelle naturforklaringer. Vi tilpasser forståelsen av natur til den kulturelle bruk vi ønsker. Materiale til drøftingen er hestehold, i et fortidig og nåtidig perspektiv. Håndteringen av hestene som var med Robert Falcon Scott på sydpolsekspedisjonen 1910–1912, og håndteringen av dagens hester, både var og er kulturelt akseptable. Forskere innen feltet hestevitenskap og en del er…
I'd rather wear out than rust out’: Autobiologies of ageing equestriennes
Horse–human relationships expressed as a kind of co-embodied engagement or mutual physicality between horse and rider receive note in emerging literatures on equine sports and multi-species ethnography. Less attention focuses on the impacts of equestrienne activities on ageing female bodies. This study is based on analysis of narrative data collected from open-ended qualitative interviews with 36 women, aged 40–70, who participate in a variety of…
My Horse Is My Therapist: The Medicalization of Pleasure among Women Equestrians
Pink t-shirts that proclaim "My horse is my therapist" are for sale in a wide variety of horse-sport catalogues. Literature on the healing power of human-nonhuman animal encounters and the practice of a variety of animal-assisted therapy programs, such as hippotherapy and equine-facilitated therapy, show dramatic growth over the last 30 years. Less attention is paid to the role that horse-human interactions may play in more popular accountings of…
Co-being and intra-action in horse-human relationships: A multi-species ethnography of be(com)ing human and be(com)ing horse
A multi‐species perspective identifies and offers ethnographic insight into a variety of everyday, practical experiences and the roles they may play in shaping human–horse relationships. Analysis of narrative data from 60 open‐ended interviews with a wide variety of riders in Norway and the Midwestern USA identifies three central themes of co‐being. These are expressed, felt and voiced as embodied moments of mutuality, engagements of two agentive…
Riding up forested mountain sides, in wide open spaces, and with walls: Developing an ecology of horse-human relationships
Multi-species ethnography calls for new ways of engaging the contact zones or areas of entanglements among humans and other species. A number of studies identify and describe the roles of embodiment and bonding in developing a sense of partnership or co-being between horse and rider that challenge hegemonic dualisms of horse-human or nature-culture. Less attention is paid to potential roles that the local physical environment or terrain where rid…
Cod, curtains, planes and experts: Relational materialities in the museum
Museums are sites where people encounter material objects. This article examines object and subject entanglements that take place at a university museum in northern Norway, and illustrates how objects shift identities as they interact with subjects and how subjects are also affected by the encounter. A relational materialities perspective, which demonstrates how object identity is related to the subject it engages with, allows multiple versions o…

To Fish or Not to Fish: Small-Scale Fishing and Changing Regulations of the Cod Fishery in Northern Norway
Quotas and access limitations were introduced to Norway in 1990 to secure future cod fisheries. Comparison of small-scale fishers' practices before and after 1990 pose interesting questions concerning the models for resource management on which these regulations are based. Prior to the regulations, exploitation and expansion inherent in the small-scale production were curtailed informally. Instead of limiting economic expansion, the introduction …
Den forlengede arm – materialisering av pisker, hester og ryttere
The horsewhip is an interesting object. It works in relationships between animals and humans. In some relationships it can make the horse move forward willingly, with no need for physical contact. In other contexts, the whip can make the horse obey the rider’s wishes by gently touching the horse’s body. In other kinds of relationships, it paves the way for riders hitting their horses and also feeling regret afterwards. This article combines insig…
