Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article describes a bridewealth prestation amongthe Chagga-speaking people of Tanzania. Departingfrom approaches that rely on the notion of reciprocity,the author explores how the prestation per se constitutes,rather than represents, the relationship betweenwife-givers and wife-receivers. By investigating themateriality of the exchanged object, the relationships itforms part of are laid bare, and it is argued that theobject forms part of a reproductive network wherepersons, things and social relationships are mutuallyconstituted. Against this background, materiality andsociality, things and meanings, reality and representation,are interrelated and the problems raised by thenotion of reciprocity are transcended.

Technologies of Modern Reindeer Breeding as Technologies of Power in Circumpolar Russia : a Study of Selective Breeding of Evenki Reindeer
- 2020
-
In: Norsk Antropologisk Tidsskrift. - : Scandinavian University Press / Universitetsforlaget AS. - 0802-7285 .- 1504-2898. ; 31:04, s. 249-267
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores how reindeer science in Circumpolar Russia is a field of constitutions of indigenous people and animal subjectivities. It is based on empirical research of selective breeding of the Evenki breed of reindeer in the specialised Soviet literature and in the Reindeer Herding Enterprise in the village of Surinda, Evenki Municipality. Reindeer herding has historically played a significant role for the majority indigenous Evenki people. Neat classification of reindeer into distinctive breeds was completed in Soviet time, when “proper” selective breeding technologies were established. This article looks into some of the basic assumptions about animals, humans, and society that such breed classification and selection methods reveal. I analyse the role of scientific knowledge in the Soviet era to better understand why selective reindeer breeding appears more attractive to state authorities than to support indigenous reindeer husbandry, which has been experiencing a serious crisis since the early 1990s. I explain the local politics of reindeer herding and agricultural science through the contextualisation of the field case within Soviet and contemporary Russian Arctic and indigenous governance, trying to contribute to the broader issue of post-Soviet perceptions of animal husbandry, selective breeding and reindeer.

Den tidiga antropologins vetenskapliga gränsbyggande
- 2010
-
In: Norsk Antropologisk Tidsskrift. - : Norsk antropologisk forening. - 0802-7285 .- 1504-2898. ; 21:2/3, s. 143-155
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artikeln syftar till att studera den tidiga antropologins vetenskapliga gränsbyggande utifrån dess retoriska former. Fokus ligger på andra hälften av 1800-talet, där den engelske antropologiprofessorn Sir Edward Burnett Tylor (1832–1917) får stå som representant för det antropologiska ämnets gränsbyggande. Det är tydligt att han i sina texter försöker rita upp olika gränser för att kunna fastställa det egna rummet, samtidigt som många av «de andra» vetenskaparna förpassas till att vara icke-vetenskapliga. Artikeln tar teoretiskt avstamp från sociologen Thomas F. Gieryns idéer att studera vetenskaplig fakta utifrån en kartografisk beskrivning (Gieryn 1999). Detta innebär att studera vetenskap som ett eget territorium, med egna specifika landmärken, avgränsat gentemot andra konkurrerande vetenskaper. Hur denna vetenskapskarta växer fram har, enligt Gieryn, en direkt koppling till hur olika kunskapsmakare ritar upp gränserna under en specifik historisk period. Frågan är: Hur gjorde Tylor för att etablera och avskilja den tidiga antropologin gentemot andra discipliner och institutioner? I slutsatsen blir det tydligt att Tylor använder sig av tre strategier (Distinktion, Harmoni och Integration) när han konstruerade den tidiga antropologins kulturella gränser. Denna historiska närläsning, menar jag, kan lära oss något om hur samhällvetare idag kan studera etableringen av nya tvärvetenskapliga discipliner på vetenskapskartan. På så vis förbinds slutligen artikelns huvudinnehåll till vår tids samhällsvetenskapliga förståelse av dagens alltmer ekonomiserade och politiserade vetenskapsidentitet.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The neighbourhood of Sofielund in Malm. is marked by diversity in terms of its population and its varying architecture and types of housing. It is also marked by social divisions, including poverty, housing exploitations and criminality. Over time, a large number of interventions have been implemented to better the situation. The interventions are, among other things, inspired by the Business Improvement District (BID) model and include efforts to enhance social cohesion through a strategy of “opening up Sofielund” through creating “meeting-places.” The article provides an analysis of the lived experiences of residents in Sofielund, and shows how policy efforts on “social cohesion” and the creation of meeting-places are perceived by residents. The presentation argues that while meeting-places aim to even out tensions and strengthen social cohesion, they may also reproduce existent power relations and increase tensions. Consequently, the article shows that strategies of opening up places can have the unintended consequences of closing down for buildings, people, and social relations. The article focuses on how inequality and exclusion unfold in inclusive spaces, and entail different forms of polarisation based on “us” and “them”.

Et inkluderende rituale med barna i sentrum : Om 17. mai-retorikk og 17. mai-deklarasjoner
- 2000
-
In: Norsk antropologisk tidsskrift. - 0802-7285. ; 11:1, s. 4-19
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artikkelen drøfter 17. mai-feiring i 1990-årenes Norge med utgangspunkt i et par velkjente retoriske sannheter: at 17. mai er barnas dag og derfor utpreget hyggelig, og at den er inkluderende overfor innvandrere. Ved å skille mellom denne overgripende retorikk, et mellomledd av kommentarer og diskusjoner, og den faktiske feiring prøver jeg å vise hvordan barna er fundament for et videre budskap om norsk normalitet, som i seg ikke bare er hyggelig, og hvordan etnisk annerledeshet i 17. mai-sammenhenger fremstår både som fokus i en bevisst ideologisk posisjonering, og som en i praksis ambivalent kategori.

Lokal kultur? : Refleksjoner om presentasjon og oppfatning av kulturtrekk som lokalspesifikke
- 1990
-
In: Norsk antropologisk tidsskrift. - 0802-7285. ; 1:1, s. 79-81
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this commentary the idea of local culture is questioned. It is argued that localness is relative, and that this should be clearly recognized. On the other hand, local can also be used in a more basic sense. Phenomena can be local simply by virtue of existing in a specific geographical setting. The mere use of the word local does not therefore imply that the phenomena described represent a specific local culture.
