The Sami Drum from Oracular Rituality to Musical Performance
No full textI sami sono l’unica popolazione indigena ufficialmente riconosciuta dall’UE. Questo importante riconoscimento, tuttavia, è arrivato solo in tempi relativamente recenti, dopo secoli di politiche di assimilazione forzata e grazie a decisive lotte per il riconoscimento identitario entro cui specifiche tradizioni musicali hanno giocato un ruolo determinante. È questo il caso del repertorio orale degli joik, canti tradizionalmente eseguiti a cappella da singoli performers. Negli anni Settanta, infatti, lo joik è diventato il simbolo della resilienza sami nei confronti della violenza subita e del “silenzio” imposto dalla dominazione coloniale. La ricomparsa dello joik nel contemporaneo soundscape sami è caratterizzata dall’alterazione di determinati parametri musicali e la resistenza di altri. In questo vivo e dinamico clima di creatività culturale, l’introduzione del tamburo sami nei diversi organici strumentali che oggi accompagnano i modern joiks è particolarmente significativa. Con il presente articolo si intende offrire un contributo all’analisi della rifunzionalizzazione del tamburo nella società sami. A una panoramica storico-culturale, ricostruita sui risultati etnografici e archeologici raggiunti da diversi studiosi internazionali, sugli utilizzi e sui valori tradizionali di questa percussione nella ritualità sciamanica del noaidi, seguirà lo studio di alcuni esempi musicali significativi per la comprensione degli esiti della più recente introduzione del tamburo sami nella cultura musicale del modern joik. Si affronteranno, integrando all’attuale stato dell’arte anche interviste originali raccolte in Sápmi nell’estate 2019, le maggiori trasformazioni e rifunzionalizzazioni che hanno consentito al tamburo sami di rompere la marginalità e lo stigma imposto dalla dominante cultura Fennoscandinava. Questa condizione di marginalità, si cercherà di dimostrare, è diventata un vero e proprio motore propulsore per la più contemporanea forma di
espressione dell’identità indigena sami: il modern joik.The Sami are the only indigenous people formally recognized in Europe, nevertheless, this significant acknowledgment came only in relatively recent times, after centuries of forced assimilation policies and thanks to crucial fights for self-determination and identity
recognition. Oral musical traditions played a primary role in the Sami self-determination processes. The musical repertoire of the Sami is built on the joik chants, traditionally sung a cappella by a single individual. During the 1970s, the joik rose from the silence imposed by colonial domination. This happened through the alteration of some traditional musical parameters and the resistance of others. Among these changes, the introduction of the Sami drum in the instrumental sections of the modern joiks is particularly meaningful. This article intends to offer a contribution to the historical and cultural analysis of the refunctionalization of the usage of the drum in Sami society. Starting from an overview of the traditional uses and values of this percussion within the noaidi shamanic rituality, mostly based on existing ethnographic and archaeological results achieved by various international scholars to date, the study of some significant musical examples will follow to better understand the most recent introduction of the Sami drum in the musical culture of modern joik. Primary sources collected in Sápmi in the summer of 2019 will be integrated to the current state of the art in order to analyze the major transformations and the refunctionalization which allowed the Sami drum to break free from the condition of marginality imposed by the dominant Fennoscandian culture, thus becoming a propeller engine for the most contemporary form of indigenous identity expression: modern joik
Changes in conventional cardiovascular risk factors and the estimated 10-year risk of acute myocardial infarction or cerebral stroke in Sami and non-Sami populations in two population-based cross-sectional surveys: The SAMINOR Study
No full textObjective - To describe changes in cardiovascular risk factors and in the estimated 10-year risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or cerebral stroke (CS) between SAMINOR 1 (2003–2004) and SAMINOR 2 (2012–2014), and explore if these changes differed between Sami and non-Sami.
Design - Two cross-sectional surveys.
Setting - Inhabitants of rural Northern Norway.
Participants - Participants were aged 40–79 years and participated in SAMINOR 1 (n=6417) and/or SAMINOR 2 (n=5956).
Primary outcome measures - Generalised estimating equation regressions with an interaction term were used to estimate and compare changes in cardiovascular risk factors and 10-year risk of AMI or CS between the two surveys and by ethnicity.
Results - Mean cholesterol declined by 0.50, 0.43 and 0.60 mmol/L in women, Sami men and non-Sami men, respectively (all p<0.001). Sami men had a small decline in mean high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and an increase in mean triglycerides (both p<0.001), whereas non-Sami showed no change in these variables. Non-Sami women had an increase in mean HDL cholesterol (p<0.001) whereas Sami women had no change. Triglycerides did not change in non-Sami and Sami women. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure declined by 3.6 and 1.0 mm Hg in women, and 3.1 and 0.7 in men, respectively (all p<0.01). Mean waist circumference increased by 6.7 and 5.9 cm in women and men, respectively (both p<0.001). The odds of being a smoker declined by 35% in women and 46% in men (both p<0.001). Estimated 10-year risk of AMI or CS decreased in all strata of sex and ethnicity (p<0.001), however, Sami women had a smaller decline than non-Sami did.
Conclusions - Independent of ethnicity, there was a decline in mean cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking, hypertension (women only) and 10-year risk of AMI or CS, but waist circumference increased. Relatively minor ethnic differences were found in changes of cardiovascular risk factors
The SAMI Galaxy Survey : instrument specification and target selection
No full textThe SAMI Galaxy Survey will observe 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope in a 3-yr survey which began in 2013. We present the throughput of the SAMI system, the science basis and specifications for the target selection, the survey observation plan and the combined properties of the selected galaxies. The survey includes four volume-limited galaxy samples based on cuts in a proxy for stellar mass, along with low-stellar-mass dwarf galaxies all selected from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. The GAMA regions were selected because of the vast array of ancillary data available, including ultraviolet through to radio bands. These fields are on the celestial equator at 9, 12 and 14.5 h, and cover a total of 144 deg2 (in GAMA-I). Higher density environments are also included with the addition of eight clusters. The clusters have spectroscopy from 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and photometry in regions covered by the SDSS and/or VLT Survey Telescope/ATLAS. The aim is to cover a broad range in stellar mass and environment, and therefore the primary survey targets cover redshifts 0.004 < z < 0.095, magnitudes rpet < 19.4, stellar masses 107–1012 M⊙, and environments from isolated field galaxies through groups to clusters of ∼1015 M⊙.Peer reviewe
VizieR Online Data Catalog: SAMI Galaxy Survey: EDR (Allen+, 2015)
No full textThe targets for the SAMI Galaxy Survey are drawn from the GAMA survey G09, G12 and G15 fields, as well as a set of eight galaxy clusters that extend the survey to higher environmental densities. All candidates have known redshifts from GAMA, SDSS or dedicated 2dF observations, allowing us to create a tiered set of volume-limited samples. Full details of the target selection are presented in Bryant et al. (2015MNRAS.447.2857B). The 107 galaxies that form the SAMI Galaxy Survey EDR are those contained in nine fields in the GAMA regions that were observed in 2013 March and April. (2 data files)

The SAMI Galaxy Survey revisiting Galaxy classification through high-order stellar kinematics. (2017)
No full textThe SAMI instrument and Galaxy Survey is described in detail in Croom+ (2012MNRAS.421..872C) and Bryant+ (2015MNRAS.447.2857B). SAMI is a multi-object integral field spectrograph on the 3.9m Anglo Australian Telescope (AAT). For the SAMI Galaxy Survey, the 580V grating is used in the blue arm of the spectrograph, which results in a resolution of R~1700 with wavelength coverage of 3700-5700{AA}. In the red arm, the higher resolution grating 1000R is used, which gives an R~4500 over the range 6300-7400{AA}. We use 24 unsaturated, unblended CuAr arc lines in the blue arm, and 12 lines in the red arm, from 16 frames between 2013 March 05 and 2015 August 17, for all 819 fibers. The survey has four volume-limited galaxy samples derived from cuts in stellar mass in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) G09, G12, and G15 regions (Driver+ 2011, J/MNRAS/413/971)
Joiking life narratives. The performance of indigenous self-perception in Sami life stories
No full textThe Sami are the only indigenous population formally recognized in the EU, nevertheless, this significant acknowledgment came only in relatively recent times, after centuries of forced assimilation policies and thanks to crucial fights for self-determination and identity recognition. This article intends to offer an analysis of two cases of Sami life narratives orally transmitted as joiks, musical expressions traditionally sung a cappella and characterized by a highly descriptive value. The focus is to present, through a set of transdisciplinary approaches, intimate and social perceptions of indigeneity and the related narrative outcomes which may take place in the peculiar empathic relationship established between the narrator-performer and the audience. Lawra Somby’s Im manne gåarkah and Niiles-Jouni Aikio’s Ieš joiks will respectively direct the study through 1) the author’s individual life experience and perception of the colonial assimilation and the consequent language loss and 2) a rare case of self-joiking, an acoustic self-portrait or musical autobiography which through both verbal and musical components aims at the narration and interpretation of a Sami’s own life experience.
I Sami sono l’unica popolazione indigena ufficialmente riconosciuta dall’UE. Questo importante riconoscimento, tuttavia, è arrivato solo in tempi relativamente recenti, dopo secoli di politiche di assimilazione forzata e grazie a decisive lotte per il riconoscimento identitario. Con il presente articolo si vuole offrire un’analisi relativa a due casi di narrazioni biografiche Sami trasmesse oralmente sottoforma di joik, espressioni musicali tradizionalmente cantate a cappella e caratterizzate da un elevato valore descrittivo. L’obiettivo è quello di presentare, attraverso un insieme di approcci transdisciplinari, performances relative alla percezione interiore o esteriore dell’identità indigena Sami e i relativi risultati narrativi che possono aver luogo nella peculiare relazione empatica che si viene a creare tra narratore-performer e audience. Gli joik Im manne gåarkah, di Lawra Somby, e Ieš, di Niiles-Jouni Aikio, dunque, guideranno lo studio rispettivamente verso 1) l’esperienza di vita individuale dell’autore e la percezione sociale dell’assimilazione coloniale e dei suoi effetti sull’identità indigena; e verso 2) un raro caso di auto-joiking, un autoritratto acustico o un’autobiografia musicale che attraverso componenti sia verbali che musicali mira alla narrazione e all’interpretazione dell’esperienza biografica di colui che joika
