Traditionalisation for Revitalisation : Tradition as a Concept and Practice in Contemporary Sámi Contexts
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Folklore. - : Estonian Literary Museum. - 1406-0949. ; 57, s. 80-100
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates the use of ‘tradition’ as a concept in indigenous discourses and as a label of practices within revitalisation processes, using the case of the Sámi in Sweden as an example. By approaching emic applications of the concept, the article aims at emphasising processual and consequential aspects of ‘tradition’.This study illustrates how traditionalisation takes place through the processes of negotiation of identities, globalisation and authority, as well as through the institutionalisation of vernacular practices. It is a double-edged process, including and excluding, which is balanced with creative initiatives striving for keeping traditions alive rather than frozen in time.

"We haven't come so far yet" : digital media, Sámi research and dissemination practices
- 2022

Ingår i: Sámi research in transition. - London : Routledge. - 9780367548384 - 9780367548438 - 9781003090830 ; , s. 149-168
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter examines the political and social dimensions of Sámi research in relation to two different processes: the development of Indigenous studies as a discipline, and the digitization of academic communication. The increasing prominence of Indigenous studies is changing the ways in which researchers are expected to describe, include and establish dialogue with Indigenous communities in research. Simultaneously, researchers are facing growing demand to establish strong online presence, as for instance employers and funding agencies are encouraging them to disseminate their research findings and knowledge through different media channels, social media accounts and so on. By exploring how individual researchers negotiate such expectations in their own work, this chapter asks how these two influences impact upon the field of Sámi research. One major issue identified is the discrepancy in temporalities between media communication and research, as well as between funding agencies and research in practice. This study also gives us indications about the role that social media might play in communication of research beyond an academic audience and readership. A web presence and the use of social media for communication can have an impact and be successful, but strategies and professional support for implementing those are often lacking or underdeveloped, resulting in an often inefficient and potentially time-consuming form of media use with limited benefits for Sámi communities and the researchers themselves.

- It is becoming more common to replace or augment human-based decisions with algorithmic calculations and evaluations using artificial intelligence (AI). Facial analysis systems (FA) are examples of how AI in particular is intertwined with both the most mundane and the most critical aspects of human life. Exploring images for the purposes of face detection, recognition and/or classification, FA shows an entanglement between human identity, self-presentation and computation. In this chapter, we discuss automated facial analysis technology from a queer theoretical standpoint, focusing on the concerns and risks when systems like FA are used in a binary way to categorize, measure and make decisions based on computerized assumptions about gender and sexuality. Further, we discuss issues of privacy, bias and fairness related to FA technology as well as potential improvements, for example, by using participatory design. Finally, this chapter suggests that a queer perspective on FA can create new ways to relate to technology.

Everyday life in the culture of surveillance
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the recent decades, the possibilities to surveil people have increased and been refined with the ongoing digital transformation of society. Surveillance can now go in any direction, and various forms of online surveillance saturate most people’s lives, which are increasingly lived in digital environments.To understand this situation and nuance the contemporary discussions about surveillance – not least in the highly digitalised context of the Nordic countries – we must adopt cultural and ethical perspectives in studying people’s attitudes, motives, and behaviours. The “culture of surveillance”, to borrow David Lyon’s term, is a culture where questions about privacy and publicness, and rights and benefits, are once again brought to the fore.This anthology takes up this challenge, with contributions from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical frameworks that discuss and shed light on the complexity of contemporary surveillance and thus problematise power relations between the many actors involved in the development and performance of surveillance culture. The contributions highlight how more and more actors and practices play a part in our increasingly digitalised society.The book is an outcome of the research project "iAccept: Soft surveillance – between acceptance and resistance", financed by the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation. The anthology’s editors are project members, all based at Umeå University, Sweden: Lars Samuelsson, associate professor of philosophy; Coppélie Cocq, professor of Sámi studies and digital humanities; Stefan Gelfgren, associate professor of sociology of religion; and Jesper Enbom, associate professor of media studies.

- his chapter provides a transparent assessment of three otherwise unrelated mapping interfaces, conceptually designed for three different projects.The projects are: 1) the Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database (SEAD, www.sead.se), 2) Mapping Linguistic Landscapes and 3) Mekhane (www.mekhane.com). The first project, SEAD (www.sead.se, Buckland 2014a), is a research data infrastructure for storing, managing and analysing multidisciplinary paleo- environmental data.3 The project includes powerful in-house querying and limited visualization tools as well as providing a source of spatiotemporal data for other systems. The second project, Mapping Linguistic Landscapes, aims to create an understanding of the materialization of languages in urban and rural landscape.The project shows where, when and what languages are addressed and represented, and thereby gives an indication of the inclusion and exclusion of various linguistic groups in public spaces. The third project, Mekhane is a repository of information about research-driven 3D renderings of ancient cities. It further provides the user with a visualization of the geographical reach of antiquity. For example, a user can see how many times digital models of Rome were made in other places. Mekhane aims at providing the user with an understanding of ancient place and its contemporary reconstruction in one single interface. In the geovisualization analysis that follows, we suggest that places, structures, and materials with GIS may be used to uproot well-established notions of space and place in relation to landscapes, cultures, media, and societies (White 2010; Frank 2012).We then discuss the limitations of geovisualizations.

- Geovisualization, here perceived broadly as a representation of data on a digital map, has been used within a number of disciplines for different purposes: from creating new knowledge to sharing existing scholarly ideas. This chapter focuses on how building maps conceptually and with specific research questions in mind often requires a set of fresh methodologies. Methodologies ought to be tailored to conceptual research questions and existing limitations set by data, as well as aggregation, and visualization software. Through an analysis of three case studies spanning the disciplines of archaeology, linguistics and ethnology, classics and media studies, we identify a number of methodological choices and limitations for geovisualization set by available fragmented historical data, digital platforms for data aggregation, and visualization software. We then highlight two issues that are open for further development, more specifically 1) the complexities of representing multiple temporal data in one single mapping interface, as well as 2) the need for common global vocabularies and ontologies that provide us with the possibilities of linking common references.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The contributions in this book shed light on the complexity of surveillance in a digital age and problematise power relations between the many actors involved in the development and performance of surveillance culture. More and more actors and practices play an increasing role in our contemporary digitalised society, and the chapters show how people negotiate surveillance in their use of digital media, often knowingly leaving digital footprints, and sometimes trying to avoid surveillance. The digital transformation will continue in the foreseeable future. The coordination and analysis of data is viewed by many government agencies, corporations, and other actors as important tools for improving public administration, health, and economic growth. For this development to be legitimate, it is important that hard values, such as technical and legal developments, and soft values, such as ethical and cultural values, are taken into consideration.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The possibilities to surveil people have increased and been further refined with the implementation of digital communication over the last couple of decades, and with the ongoing process of digital transformation, surveillance can now go in any direction, leaving a label such as “surveillance state” somewhat outdated. Corporations and governmental organisations may surveil people, people may surveil each other, and surveillance may take place in subtle ways that are difficult for the surveilled to detect. In David Lyon’s terms, we are living in a “culture of surveillance”, a culture that surrounds and affects our everyday life. Today, it is of utmost relevance to study people’s attitudes, motives, and behaviours in relation to the fact that we live in a culture of surveillance. This includes the need for cultural and ethical perspectives to understand and nuanced contemporary discussions on surveillance, not least in the highly digitalised context of the Nordic countries. The chapters in this anthology address these issues from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical frameworks.

Social media and disability advocacy organizations : caught between hopes and realities

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the role of advocacy organizations and their use of social media within the field of disability in Sweden. How do the organizations negotiate digital media, and what are the (intentional or unintentional) consequences related to the use of social media? With focus on the representatives of advocacy organizations, we study how they reflect and act in order to balance various motives, and what challenges and ambiguities that arise. On one hand, there is a perceived need to be online and communicate with members and the surrounding society. On the other hand, digital communication induces a divide between those who have the resources to take part in such communication, and those who do not – in terms of digital competence, economy, age, cognitive abilities, technical equipment and digital connection. The heterogeneity of resources and target groups inevitably challenges both the ideals of inclusion and intentions of advocacy organizations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social media is often seen as an arena for negotiation of power, where marginalized voices can be given influence in the public debate. This study focuses the use of Twitter for discussions related to disabilities and disability policy in Sweden. The empirical material is gathered through the hashtag (#) “funkpol”, the primary hashtag used to discuss such topics. Empirical data was gathered using a scripted Google spreadsheet. Over a period of 6 months, approximately 10.000 tweets were retrieved. Our findings show nine different categories of twitterers. According to patterns visible in the study, the most active twitterers – the private twitterers – reached out to the established power (advocacy organizations, politicians and media). However, these instances did not respond as much as they were addressed – at least not directly on Twitter. The article shows how private actors are active but not picked up in the public debate. Instead, established power structures prevailed.

The construction of spaces for Saami language use : language revitalisation in educational contexts
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this dissertation, the construction of spaces for Saami language use is explored. The spaces involve learning and use of South Saami, an Indigenous language in Saepmie in Norway and Sweden. Four separate studies shed light on various aspects of these spaces, how they are constructed, how they are used, by whom and for what purposes. Against the backdrop of colonisation of the Saami and a long trend of assimilation by means of e.g. schooling, contemporary spaces for Saami language use in formal educational contexts are explored. The spaces are investigated and theorised upon from an insider position by a researcher/practitioner drawing upon a collaborative approach to the production of knowledge. The insider gaze through the lens of the theoretical concepts spaces for Saami language use and Indigenous efflorescence analyses South Saami language teaching, learning and revitalisation as part of a global trend; Indigenous peoples reclaim, revitalise and restore their continuous their languages. Factors at the macro, meso and micro levels that condition South Saami teaching, learning and revitalisation are explored. The way Saami practitioners of Indigenous efflorescence, for instance teachers, coordinators, artists and others commit to the language is brought to the fore. By means of their acts of decoloniality, they seek to take responsibility for and challenge the current educational situation. Spaces for Saami language use emerge as time and conditions ripen for them. Although unexpected to many, given the history of assimilation, to the practitioners of Indigenous efflorescence involved in the process, this emergence comes not as a surprise but as a hard-earned result of the struggle. Although much work remains, hope is reawakened when conscious hard work and persistent labour bear fruit.

DASH Swedish National Doctoral School in Digital Humanities : From Local Expertise to National Research Infrastructure
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Huminfra Conference (HiC 2024). - Linköping : Linköping Universitet.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the Swedish National Doctoral School in Digital Humanities: Data, Culture, and Society – Critical Perspectives (DASH) that is run in 2023–2027 by Uppsala University, Umeå University, Linnaeus University, and Gothenburg University. Though Swedish universities have established PhD courses, MA programmes and training in digital humanities previously, DASH is the first encompassing educational programme in digital humanities at the doctoral level. The present paper discusses the rationale behind the DASH doctoral school, its role in the landscape of Swedish humanities infrastructures, and provides insights from the first PhD courses and seminars. The focus of DASH is to equip PhD candidates in humanities and social sciences with knowledge and skills necessary to pursue high quality, innovative and critical research in digital humanities. DASH aims to provide knowledge in relation to digital research, its methods, tools, and critical perspectives, and to build and strengthen the networks among early career scholars. DASH facilitates access and use of the resources in the national infrastructures in the humanities, but also emerges as an element in the infrastructure by providing new resources and competences.

Digitala förbindelser : Rum, riktning och queera orienteringar
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Internet has been available for the public during the past thirty years, and is perceived as having radically changed the terms of LGBTQ peoples’ possibilities of connecting with one and other, especially for LGBTQ people in rural spaces. With a queer phenomenological approach, the overall aim of the thesis is to analyze how people come to find their way in life from a non-heterosexual position. The aim is more precisely to study LGBTQ peoples’ use of social media and how this relates to queer orientations.The main material consists of fifteen interviews with LGBTQ people from the north of Sweden, focusing on the usage of digital environments and its importance for the informants’ queer orientations. The material also includes online observations from Facebook and Qruiser, as well as observations of two rural and queer themed Facebook groups and two rotating curated Instagram accounts. From one of these Instagram accounts, the entries of three informants living in the north of Sweden were collected. The material also includes press material and marketing of the app Grindr available at Grindr.com, App Store and the related site INTO.In the thesis, questions about when experiences are made, and where they are made are of importance. Particular interest is thus focused on time and geographical location, mainly focusing on the north of Sweden. With inspiration from actor network theory, it is taken into account how digital materiality, together with time and space, co-create conditions for use of social media and the understanding of these types of digital spaces. The thesis is centered around themes that came forth in the material: significance of digital environments in LGBTQ peoples’ lives, problems and possibilities in relation to openness and visibility, and how social media platforms are used to bring about change and re-negotiate notions of geographical space and sexual orientation. The thesis shows the significance of digital, geographical, human as well as non-human relations and norms that are of importance regarding queer orientations and its bearings.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This special issue focuses on the Sami struggle for cultural survival. The articles deal with strategies and initiatives going on in Sápmi today during a time of threats and challenges - a time that is also marked by resistance and mobilization. During the fall of 2013, the Swedish government has been criticized both by the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination, and by the Swedish Discrimination Ombudsman for its actions against the Sami population. The UN criticism was directed against a planned mine in Rönnbäcken, in the region of Västerbotten. Exploitation in Northern Sweden, not least the mining boom, is among of the biggest challenges in Sápmi today. Sami identity markers such as reindeer herding, land, language and oral traditions are examples of expressions that are highlighted in the battle to claim rights to land and water, to language, and to participation in decision making.

Turning the inside out : social media and the broadcasting of indigenous discourse

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyses what happens on social media (Twitter) when a local issue specific to a certain Indigenous group spreads out to a wider network of actors. We look closer at the process where emic (inside) discourses are enabled, through social media, to reach a broader audience and become part of translocal debates. In a case study of information sharing, network building and support on Twitter in relation to a series of Sámi anti-mining protests in 2013, we address questions about the dynamics, flows and process of Indigenous communication on Twitter. First, we analyse in what ways and to what extent the posts are used for inreach communication or outreach communication. Second, we analyse the role of tweets that contain links to web resources for broadcasting Indigenous concerns to a wider, more diverse audience. Finally, we assess how different types of actors interact in order to shape the circulation of content. Our analysis shows even though communication went beyond the core community, Sámi actors still appeared to own and control the discourse and agenda on the issue in social media. Obviously, online communities are not secluded communities. For geographically localized groups and for marginalized communities, the use of global social media does not only enable communication with actors in more distant groups and places; social media also makes visible common interests and goals on a global scale. The possibility of addressing multiple audiences at the same time increases the potential of reaching an audience outside one’s set of 'followers' or one's tight-knit communities of like-minded people.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents and discusses Sámi social media initiatives for strengthening languages. The Sámi are the Indigenous people of Europe. All Sámi languages are endangered, and the lack of resources for maintaining, promoting and teaching the languages has been underscored on several occasions by the European Council and the Sámi parliaments. Social media has become an arena where resources are created and shared, enabling communities of speakers to support each other and promote their languages. YouTube, blogs, Twitter and language learning applications are here discussed as public domains and community-grounded media. Based on a few examples and on our expertise as instructors within Sámi studies, we suggest strategies for developing long-lasting and innovative models for revitalizing threatened languages and cultures, and for counteracting language loss through social media. This contribution shares examples of innovative uses of social media in Sámi of relevance for other Indigenous contexts.

Dekoloniseringskonst : Artivism i 2010-talets Sápmi
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During the 2010s, conceptual art took a prominent position in Sámi struggles for political and social change. Narratives about contemporary colonialism and decolonising alternative visions, conveyed through music, visual arts, performative acts, and poetry, engaged broad audiences and attracted widespread attention. This PhD project, undertaken in Sámi dutkan/Sámi Studies, revolves around the artistic works and practices of four contemporary Sámi artists: Ti/Mimie Märak, Jörgen Stenberg, Anders Sunna and Jenni Laiti (including Suohpanterror). Taking its point of departure from decolonising methodologies, and theories of decolonisation and artivism, the study explores how artivism is used in relation to decolonisation, and discusses what artivism does in this regard. The dissertation has a particular focus on the relationship between Sápmi and Sweden, and the period between 2013 and 2017.Through an entrance in the artworks, and the participating artists' points of view, the study introduces new perspectives on colonialism and decolonisation in contemporary Sámi and Sámi-Swedish contexts. It serves as a theoretical and empirical contribution to discussions regarding the concept of artivism, and shows how artivism has initiated motion in the issue of decolonisation, and a movement around this issue. Starting with artivism relating to the 2013 Gállok mining conflict, and finishing with artivism related to resurgence and self-determination to land in the Deatnu area in 2017, the study portrays an artivism-driven decolonising process that has both influenced contemporary perceptions of decolonisation (set the issue in motion) and generated positions aligned with such perspectives (activated a movement around the issue).The study argues that the artivism has shaped discourse around colonialism and contemporary Sweden. Through various artistic works and practices, structural colonial patterns are uncovered, displaying ongoing dispossession of land, exploitation of nature and culture, and a discursive disclosure of such practices as colonial, as part of the same colonial structure. Simultaneously, this artivism enables for decolonising visions. These visions claim public space and motivate audiences to engage in a decolonising movement. A number of resistance subject positions are envisioned through this artivism. These subjects are portrayed as proud, self-sufficient identities with integrity; subjects who are anchored within a Sámi and Indigenous collective, who are themselves intersectional and anti-oppressive, and stand in alliance with similar progressive movements. In alignment with the discourses related to these movements, Sámi traditional knowledge is articulated as viable options to tackle continued environmental deterioration and climate change – problems often associated with colonialism.The movement gradually develops into a fictional recapture of land, which enables space for Sámi self-determining practices to take place. Here, the artistically created vision of self-determination, makes self-determination to land a reality – if so only temporary. As such, the artistic creation of a decolonised space, enables the actual space for decolonised practice. The study argues that there is a correlation between the artivistic enabling, and activation of decolonising positions and visions.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2011, about 350 years after the time of witch trials in Sweden, an invitation for taking parts in the witches’ Sabbath at Blåkulla spread on Facebook. Almost 120 000 participants, mostly women, registered to the event, and more than 13 000 wrote that they will maybe join the event. The Facebook event has then been reiterated every year. Based on this example of digital Easter celebration, this article discusses folklore in social media and how traditional legends are told and retold, shaped and reshaped and adapted to a new medium. Bearing in mind the place of folklore in our contemporary media landscape and the emergence of new digital practices, we believe that folklorists have an essential role to play in studying these practices and their implications. For instance, in what ways can social media be an arena for (re)-telling, transformation and research of traditional legends? Based on this case-study of the Facebook event Party at Blåkulla, we also discuss how folkloristics and folklore scholars can contribute to new insights in the understanding of digital culture through the study of core concepts in our field: tradition, context and communication.
