“Det er kult å lære samisk” : Om investering og affekt i samisk språkutdanningspolitikk
No full textThrough official language policy Norwegian schools have been given an important role in the process of language revitalization and language reclamation of Sámi languages in Norway. The topic of this article is Sámi language education policy and the school as a space for students to learn Sámi outside the administrative area for Sámi language when students have little access to Sámi language in the family and local community. To explore this topic, I examine the experiences of one student whom I call Sunniva, and her process of choosing and un-choosing Sámi at school. Sunniva studied North Sámi for six years, and in the analysis, I investigate what made studying Sámi desirable and possible, and later also difficult. The research question is what social and historical discourses that revolve in Sunniva’s decision to start learning Sámi and later quitting Sámi as a school subject. The data collection and analysis is situated within the frame of nexus analysis, and additional central theoretical perspectives are investment and affect. The analysis shows that despite Sunniva’s willingness to invest in studying Sámi, issues surrounding the Sámi subject create negative experiences, and she eventually decides to quit learning Sámi at school. It is the organizational issues that create affective reactions, and these issues show how the Sámi subject within a Norwegian school is influenced by the politics of Norwegianization.Gjennom offisiell språkpolitikk har skolen i Norge fått en viktig rolle i prosessen med å revitalisere og ta tilbake samiske språk. Tema i denne artikkelen er samisk språkutdanningspolitikk og skolen som språklæringsarena for barn og unge utenfor forvaltningsområdet for samisk språk som ønsker å lære samisk, men som har liten tilgang til språket i familien eller i lokalsamfunnet. Målet er å gå i dybden på en elevs erfaringer med å velge og velge bort samisk som fag på skolen i disse omstendighetene. Eleven, som jeg kaller Sunniva, hadde nordsamisk som andrespråk i fem år på grunnskolen, og i analysen ser jeg nærmere på hva som gjorde hennes valg om å få opplæring i samisk ønskelig og mulig, og etter hvert også vanskelig. Forskningsspørsmålet er hvilke sosiale og historiske diskurser som sirkulerer i Sunnivas valg om å lære samisk på skolen og seinere velge bort samisk som skolefag. Datainnsamling og analyse av hennes språkutdanningsvalg er gjort innenfor ramma av neksusanalyse, og sentrale teoretiske perspektiv er i tillegg investering og affekt. Analysen viser at til tross for at Sunniva ville investere i å lære samisk på skolen, skaper forhold rundt opplæringa negative opplevelser, og hun velger til slutt å slutte med samiskopplæring. Det er særlig organisatoriske forhold som skaper affektive reaksjoner, og disse forholdene viser i neste omgang hvordan samiskfaget er merka av fornorskingspolitikken

English title: Ovttastallan: Sámi relationality and its practices
English abstract: Relationality forms the foundation of Indigenous worldviews. It is also a foundational concept of Indigenous research, shaping Indigenous methodologies and practices. In this article, we suggest that the Sámi concept of ovttastallan and related practices correspond to the principle of Indigenous relationality. We examine four common ovttastallan practices and the ways in which ovttastallan can function as an approach to address pressing challenges in Sámi society. Further, we consider how ovttastallan practices can serve as a form of Sámi confict resolution that are commonly used, but whose value or significance may often go unnoticed. How is ovttastallan our traditional way of resolving conficts and challenges, acquiring new understanding and knowledge, and thus advancing Sámination building and well-being? We also discuss why it is important to promote and recognize the value and role of ovttastallan practices in contemporary Sámi society.Relašunalitehta prinsihppa lea eamiálbmogiid máilmmeipmárdusa vuolggasadji.

Hvorfor er folk så sinte? Konflikter mellom allemannsrett og beiterett
No full textAllemannsretten har, ifølge organisasjoner som Norsk Friluftsliv, en sterk posisjon i befolkningen. Friluftsloven ble vedtatt allerede i 1957. Likevel påpekes det at retten er under press. Endringer i naturbruk, økt mobilitet og turisme er blant de faktorene som har skapt interessemotsetninger i norsk utmark i perioden etter at loven ble vedtatt blant annet innenfor landbruket

Vinterutfodring av renar - effekter på renarnas beteende, renskötseln och miljön: Rapport från en NKJ-workshop i Arvidsjaur 8–9 juni 2022
No full textThis report is based on the results from a Nordic network project funded by The Nordic Joint Committee for Agricultural and Food Research (NKJ) during the years 2021-2022. This network was created to encourage further cross-border discussions about the prospects of winter feeding of reindeer. In reindeer husbandry winter feeding has increased during the last decades due to competing land use activities and climate change. Herders in Norway, Sweden and Finland have previously raised concerns about the benefits and risks associated to the increasing need of winter feeding of reindeer in all three countries.
The report, published in Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and North Sámi, and covers the main findings from a series of preparatory workshops within each country and a main workshop in Arvidsjaur 8-9 June 2022. During the network activities, reindeer herders, researchers and managers discussed the effects of feeding on reindeer behaviour, herding practices and the environment. The two main topics discussed at the preparatory workshops were 1) the short- and long-term effects of winter feeding on reindeer behaviour, and 2) local to large scale effects of feeding on the environment and the natural pastures. During the main workshop, discussions were held about reasons for feeding of reindeer, the preconditions of feeding in the three countries, how winter feeding is usually performed, and best practices in relation to reindeer behaviour and the environment.
The work aimed at promoting knowledge exchange on winter feeding of reindeer among all participants to help find solutions and mitigation actions to avoid changes in reindeer behaviour and negative effects of feeding on reindeer, reindeer herding and the environment. The report is aimed at herders, managers, as well as other land users, authorities and policymakers to give information on what was discussed and a summary of the challenges related to winter feeding and effects on reindeer behaviour and reindeer husbandry, and the environment.

Eavttut ja hástalusat boazodollui Norggas, Ruoŧas ja Suomas: Conditions and challenges for reindeer husbandry in Norway, Sweden and Finland
No full textThis report is based on the book "Reindeer Husbandry and Global Environmental Change - pastoralism in Fennoscandia". The book, which was published in 2022, brings together previous and new research compiled within a Nordic collaboration project, ReiGN (Reindeer husbandry in a Globalizing North), funded by NordForsk during the years 2016 – 2021. Grants from NordForsk also funded this report.
The report, published in Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and North Sámi, summarizes some of the main results from the book. In nine chapters it describes how reindeer herding is affected by climate change, the continuous loss of reindeer grazing land and other external factors that together represent large challenges for reindeer, reindeer herders and the reindeer herding community as a whole. The report contains perspectives from many different research areas. Each chapter in the report has one or more references and links to chapters in the above mentioned book, which is freely available online (https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003118565).
The chapters in the report cover a range of different topics, like present and historical reindeer herding (Chapter 1), the genetic background of the semi-domesticated reindeer (Chapter 2), how reindeer ranges are used and how they are affected by climate change and expanding industrial development (Chapter 3), possibilities for adaptation to a warmer climate (Chapter 4), impact of large predators (Chapter 5), external and internal governance (Chapter 6), reindeer herding as subsistence (Chapter 7), the role of supplementary feeding (Chapter 8), and reindeer health and diseases in a climate perspective (Chapter 9). The report ends with some reflections over the present situation and future perspectives for reindeer herding.
The report is aimed at herders and managers, as well as other land users, authorities and policymakers who deal with natural resource management, climate and environmental issues or other matters related to reindeer herding and the use of land and water within the reindeer herding area.
Rangifer Report No 21 is the North Sámi version of the report. Reports in Swedish and Norwegian have already been published as Rangifer Report No 16 and No 17, respectively. A Finnish version is published as a following number of Rangifer Report
Parties as playful experiences: Why game studies should study partying
No full textPartying is a widespread, understudied, and playful phenomena. Game Studies has seen great value from defining important concepts related to games since its inception. Foundational play and game scholars urged for a need to analyze parties and celebrations as a form of playfulness, yet there is little empirical Game Studies work enabling a deeper understanding of partying. Partying bears striking resemblances to games: inefficient use of resources, arbitrary rules, cultural group formation, and ongoing moral panics. There are also practical overlaps: games occur at parties and digital party games are quite popular. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of parties by analyzing 33 semi-structured interviews where individuals from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds had highly playful experiences at parties. A new theoretical conception of partying as a form of playfulness is proposed as a “phenomenon that creates an experience of social connection in a group mediated through a shared engagement-prioritizing activity”. This work concludes with a call for party studies to become a sub-field in game studies
Equitable forms of participation on a gaming-adjacent platform: The platformization of a youth center
No full textTo connect with youth online, a non-profit organization in Finland is organizing a youth center on a server on the gaming-adjacent social platform, Discord. We focus on the infrastructuralized platform and study ethnographically how the labor of moderation and technical competencies that platforms require on the part of the youth workers. We want to better understand the technical conditions by which youth workers have to navigate equity in platformized communities. How does the platform and connected infrastructure determine what forms of communication and interaction are and are not permitted and when and to whom? The results indicate that the employment of opening hours and the presence of youth workers who actively moderate the server during those opening hours, seem to create a safe space for a diversity of youth. The moderation, largely invisible and frictionless, becomes an intricate part of the infrastructuralized platform and the socialization on the platform. This infrastructuralized moderation requires technical, pedagogical and psychological knowledge, competence and resources
En fangstgrop ved E8 Mostad i Tromsø k.: Arkeologisk utgravning av id 269966-5
No full textI 2021 ble den den nordligste fangsgropa på fangsgropfeltet id 269966 på Mostad, ved nordlig utløp av Lavangsdalen i Tromsø kommune, undersøkt gjennom arkeologisk utgravning. Undersøkelsen skjedde i forbindelse med reguleringsplan for E8 Sørbotn-Laukslett, vestre trase. Fangsgropfeltet består av 10 større og 14 mindre groper, der flertallet ligger nokså samlet på et mo-platå. Den undersøkte gropa var rund med diameter ca 3,5 meter, og hadde antydninger til en lav voll rundt deler av omkretsen. Nedgravningen kan estimeres til å ha vært ca. 1,4 meter dyp. Gropa kan ha blitt anlagt ved å utnytte forsenkningen i en naturlig dødisgrop. Det ble ikke påvist spor etter spesifikke konstrukskjonselementer, og det ble heller ikke påtruffet datertbart materiale
