- Can walking trails be understood not only as routes to history and heritage, but also as heritage in and of themselves? The paper explores the articulation of trails as a distinct landscape and mobility heritage, bridging the nature-culture divide and building on physical and intellectual movements over time. The authors aim to contribute to a better understanding of the geography of trails and trailscapes by analysing the emergence of the Swedish-Norwegian trail Finnskogleden. The trail is situated in the border region spanning the former county of Hedmark in present-day Innlandet County, south-eastern Norway, and Värmland County in mid-western Sweden, a forested area where Finnish-speaking immigrants settled from the 16th century to the early 20th century. Archives, literature, interviews, and field visits were used to analyse the emergence and governance of the trail. The main finding is the importance of continuous articulation work by local and regional stakeholders, through texts, maps, maintenance, and mobility. In conclusion, the Finn forest trailscape and its mobility heritage can be seen as an articulation of territory over time, a multilayered process drawing on various environing technologies, making the trail a transformative part of a trans-border political geography.

Vägar till mångfunktionella landskap: En pilotmodell i Jämtlandsfjällen
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här rapporten presenteras resultat och slutsatser från forskningsprojektet ”Vägar till mångfunktionella landskap: en pilotmodell i Jämtlandsfjällen” (Negotiating pathways to multifunctional landscapes – a pilot model in the Jämtland Mountains), finansierat av Naturvårdsverket tillsammans med Riksantikvarieämbetet inom ramen för forskningssatsningen ”Storslagen Fjällmiljö” (www.storslagnafjall.se). Som projektets titel antyder så är olika vägval, förhandlingar och diskussioner om hur landskapet kan brukas av många intressenter centralt. Projektets specifika syfte har varit att analysera i) bevarande och skydd i ett mångfunktionellt landskap, ii) historisk och nutida användning av fjälleder, och iii) leder i förvaltningen och finansiering av leder. Förhoppningen är att forskningen kan utgöra underlag för diskussion och dialog som kan leda fram till beslut som bidrar till att minska intressemotsättningar mellan fjällens olika aktörer och därmed bidra till en mer hållbar utveckling för alla i fjällandskapet. Södra Jämtlandsfjällen används av flera olika grupper med olika intressen och olika förväntningar, uppfattningar och värderingar om landskapet och dess användning. Det finns stora utmaningar i att hantera och balansera ett komplext mångfunktionellt landskap med många värden, intressen och behov (natur- och kulturmiljövård, skyddade områden, lokal användning, rennäring, friluftsliv och turism). Delar av den problematik som vi studerat har sina orsaker i att olika människor både beskriver och använder landskapet på vitt skilda sätt. Resultat visar att personer företrädesvis inom myndigheter och inom turismnäringen beskriver fjällen som ett av människan i det närmaste orört område eller som vildmark trots att landskapet nyttjas av olika intressegrupper. Personer som bor och verkar i området regelbundet betonar generellt sett mer området som ett vardagslandskap och arbetslandskap, vilket inte hindrar att de sätter ett stort värde på dess skönhet och mångfald. Mångbrukandet av landskapet i södra Jämtlandsfjällen liksom de många idéerna om vad landskapet är och ska vara, kopplar också till frågor kring bevarande och skydd. Studieområdet har varit föremål för diskussioner om en nationalpark som skyddsform och i den pågående nationalparksprocessen inkluderas även ett deluppdrag för länsstyrelsen att genomföra en ledutredning. Det är vår förhoppning att resultat från forskningen om bevarande och skydd i ett mångfunktionellt landskap kommer till användning i den pågående nationalparksprocessen. Ledsystemet så som det ser ut i dag är resultatet av flera lager av historia, från samer, turister, forskare, pilgrimer, karoliner, jägare, fiskare, skogsarbetare, konditionsidrottare och andra. I dag har lederna genomgått en process där användandet har ökat som följd av att fler människor rör sig på fjället. Det historiska sambrukandet av stigar och leder var småskaligt, vilket var en viktig orsak till den relativa frånvaron av öppna konflikter. Enstaka vandrare störde exempelvis inte renarna i området, men ett ökat antal besökare och förlängda säsonger i besöksnäringen innebär att risken för konflikter ökar. Genom att besökstrycket blivit större på de mest populära lederna och att flera nya aktiviteter tillkommit framkom det bland vissa aktörer ett önskemål om att olika användargrupper bör ha ”sina” leder för att undvika konflikter.

Decline and diversity in Swedish seas: Environmental narratives in marine history, science and policy
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Before the mid-twentieth century, there was no comprehensive narrative about empirical conditions in Swedish seas. Around 1970, this view changed profoundly. In line with growing research and the emergence of ‘the environment’ as a defining concept, conditions in Swedish seas were framed as a ‘narrative of decline’. Marine scientists have since recorded more diverse developments than are described by an overall declensionist narrative. Data show trends of interrupted decline, variability and even recovery, taking place at least partly in response to effective policy and legislation. We suggest that beyond the specialised fields of marine sciences and marine environmental history, the overarching narrative of decline has persisted, paying little attention to local and regional particularities as well as cultural and political dimensions of the marine environment. This overly uniform narrative risks obscuring historical reality and, hence, fails to adequately inform policy and the public about developments and outcomes of interventions in Swedish seas. © 2019, The Author(s).

Making Reindeer : The Negotiation of an Arctic Animal in Modern Swedish Sápmi, 1920-2020
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Arctic has long been perceived as a static, timeless place of shielded wilderness. This perception extended to the reindeer as both part of the Arctic environment and of traditional Indigenous livelihoods. Physically, the reindeer of Swedish Sápmi looks largely the same today as it did a century ago - an animal ostensibly unaltered and unchanged.Nevertheless, this thesis argues that the reindeer has undergone a number of fundamental shifts of meaning in Swedish Sápmi over the past century. The dissertation asks how the reindeer's roles and functions evolved in Swedish Sápmi from ca. 1920 to 2020 and examines how, why and by whom the reindeer has been negotiated. It explores the changing understanding of the reindeer's role in society, studies emerging idea(l)s and purposes, and considers what mark they left on the animal.This study is a history of the ideas, discourses and practices that shaped the modern reindeer. It examines ways of understanding and making reindeer. At different points in time, varying combinations of actors have sought to control, shape and re-define this Arctic animal. The meaning attached to it changed as a result, and with it reindeer-related policies. Swedish state policies towards the Sámi and reindeer husbandry have especially deeply impacted the way reindeer were understood and governed. Over the course of a century, policy efforts aimed to control the reindeer's movements, health, reproduction and death, with varying success. Discourse and associated practices generated multiple versions of the reindeer. In terms of these changing versions, the thesis conceptualizes the reindeer as a changing technology and a socially constructed resource.Five empirical chapters trace how the reindeer was negotiated, especially between the Swedish state and Sámi herders. They show how the reindeer's role and purpose has been under repeated negotiation and discuss some of these roles. Restrictive border and grazing policies made the reindeer a trespasser at the turn of the twentieth century. From the 1950s onwards, a modernist improvement project envisioned it as economic resource. In the course of such rationalization efforts, the reindeer became an object of techno-scientific interest. Improvers attempted to transform reindeer into productive, reliable meat machines. These efforts faced a severe setback when the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 contaminated considerable numbers of reindeer, turning it into a toxic animal and a threatened bearer of Sámi culture. In more recent years, we find the reindeer at an intersection of consumer demand for natural foods and Sámi agency. It has become a symbol for claims to self-determination. Sámi champions of food sovereignty and land rights have started to reclaim and promote the reindeer as traditional and wholesome source of food through the Slow Food Sápmi movement.A closer look at these re-definitions reveals that the reindeer is no timeless, passive backdrop to human action. The reindeer itself has history - it is a historical animal with agency of its own, able to challenge efforts of control. Nevertheless, the different notions of the reindeer materialized into policies and ways of governing not only the reindeer but also their Indigenous herders. The (re)negotiations of what reindeer are or ought to be provide insights into the relationship between representatives of the Swedish state and of Sámi reindeer husbandry, as well as colonial legacies and persistently unequal power relations.

Patterns of Arctic Extractivism : Past and Present
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Resource Extraction and Arctic Communties. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press. ; , s. 35-65
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Extractivism has been predominant in the Arctic since whaling and sealing campaigns began in the sixteenth century, followed by mining and drilling for oil and gas. In this chapter we present some of the main features of this ‘extractivist history’ of the circumpolar region. We organize this development along a set of themes. First, we explore the extractive frame of mind in Western thought and how it has continued to shape visions of the region. Second, we explore the material and social impacts of historical extractivism. Third, we use the theoretical lens of colonialism and decolonialism to understand the social and political relations, especially with aboriginal populations. Fourth, we examine the, often fraught, recent and contemporary debates around contemporary and future extractivism and its implications for the Arctic. The historical overview serves the purpose of providing a legible pattern from what is also a range of diverse and rich variations. A key finding is that extractivism is a lasting legacy and a path dependency of the region. At the same time resource extraction has many problematic sides that the seeking of new Arctic futures will have to deal with.

The ‘physiologization’ of skiing: the lab as an obligatory passage point for elite athletes?
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In The Pasteurization of France, Bruno Latour argued that the rise of hygiene was dependent on collaboration between Pasteur, the hygiene movement, scientists and others. He also pointed at the importance of obligatory passage points such as the Pasteurian laboratory, to ensure the scientization and rationalization of hygiene. This article argues that there has been a similar process in elite sports, a ‘physiologization’ where scientists, sport organizations and specialized coaches have transformed training from a deeply personal and experiential matter to something universal and scientific. Physiologists made the test lab an obligatory passage point for athletes who wanted to compete on the highest level. Through theories of sportification and science and technology studies this paper analyses the scientization of endurance sports.
