Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this presentation I like to explore how private archives can provide alternative source of knowledge for history and anthropology. As an example, I use the life story, photos and archival documents which an elderly woman, whom I call Larisa, from the village of Lovozero shared with me in 2003. Larisa moved to Lovozero, a relatively small village in the Kola Peninsula, Northern Russia, escaping from war-marauded St. Petersburg during the early 1940s, in search for a job and better life. Larisa was a trained veterinary doctor and was employed as a much-needed expert at the reindeer herding cooperative ‘Tundra’. Her life story, memories, and private archive provide a picture of veterinary work and the organization of Soviet reindeer breeding during WW2 and in the post-war years. While veterinary specialists have been given high status and place in the history of Russian development and modernization in the Arctic, meeting Larisa was the first occasion when I realized that some of these experts were actually female. After an early Soviet drive for women emancipation, veterinary science seems to have become a primarily male occupation, especially in the Arctic and in reindeer husbandry. Larisa’s archive and life story are then an important lens for critically analyzing this male dominance, its historical and social formation, and impact on knowledge practices in relation to reindeer herding.

Some ethnic Swedish students’ discourses on religion : secularism par excellence

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Having been almost abandoned during the latter part of the 1900s, religion and youth is currently a growing field of research in Europe. Since people thought that secularisation would eradicate religion as a phenomenon, there was obviously no major reason to investigate young people’s attitudes towards religion. Since that time, the understanding of the world and its complex relationship with religion has changed, and this now attracts much discussion. In Europe, this not only concerns religion and youth among different migrant groups, but also research on religion and youth of those born and raised in Europe itself and integrated into the historic majority. The aim of this paper is to revisit and reanalyse the results of two qualitative research projects based on interviews with young students in schools who identify themselves as Swedish. I analyze their discursive constructions on their own religion and the religions of ‘others’. The data point towards a strong secularist discourse, where the Swedish students identify themselves as having a modern and rational worldview. On the other hand, they regard religion and religious people as old-fashioned and irrational. The focus in this article concerns articulations constructing this overarching secularist discourse, which I discuss in light of the contemporary debate on secularisation and secularism. However, most of the young students in the research appreciated the subject of Religious Education in Sweden as a means towards understanding the world. This was especially so in discussions on Religious Education with upper secondary school students, whereas younger students found religion to be more boring and traditional; thus the subject having difficulties in relating to the younger students’ experiences.
