  This chapter exemplifies how the Anthropocene might be exhibited in museums. In the exhibition 'Control:Attempting to Tame the World at the Museum of Cultural History, at the University of Oslo, we brought together some phenomena associated with the becoming of the Anthropocene. We succested that these were connected to the idea of 'civilization'. We wanted the exhibition to query the consequences of a foundational narrative, making an agricultural revolution the advent of such a civilization. We pay attention to that the Anthropocene makes visible what has otherwise fallen out of the story of Western civilization.

  This book explores the culturally significant objects of various Indigenous peoples in Siberia by considering the power, agency, use and evolving meanings of these objects over time. It acknowledges that top-down conceptualizations of heritage, in Russia as anywhere, are only one element of a complex story that is negotiated by multiple actors. The book further explores the shifting politics and spirituality of material objects and their role in the construction of heritage across this vast multi-ethnic region from Indigenous perspectives.

  This text is based on conversations with Thomas Hylland Eriksen about the areas we today call Sápmi, the areas traditionally inhabited by Sámi peoples, in northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as nearby parts of Russia. Colonization of Sápmi did not start with the incorporation into these four nation states. Sámi lands have suffered waves of colonization for close to a thousand years. The starting point for this text is a short chapter Thomas wrote in 2018, about Sápmi and paradoxes of autonomy. The chapter appeared in the anthology “Knowing from the Indigenous North” that he edited together with Sanna and Jarno Valkonen. I present an account of his approach to Sáminess and political strategy, and discuss his position in relation to perspectives from Sámi academics, which I believe, address his apprehensions.

  The NewArctic exhibition was brought about by unrelated but concurring events. NewArctic was primarily enabled by the Arctic Domestication in the Age of the Anthropocene project, exploring human–animal relations, their place in what's often referred to as civilization, and the consequences of this civilization narrative on wider understandings of the Arctic. This project provided space for ongoing conversations about the Arctic, involving Sámi and non-Sámi researchers. The exhibition was inspired by another decolonizing event taking place during the same period, Bååstede, the repatriation of Norwegian Sámi collections. Inspired by such ongoing decolonizing initiatives, this text is an ethnographic account of the efforts to produce a first, experimental depiction of a New Arctic. It involved modes of engaging focused on reciprocities, including conversations with objects. One core ambition in this work was to produce a vision of the Arctic that did more than re-articulate the content of past Arctic exhibitions at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. Instead, the exhibition sought to acknowledge that the space referred to as the Arctic has always been a vision produced by outsiders, a dreamland rather than a homeland. If the Arctic is also homeland, however, how do we articulate what it is like to live in the Arctic today? What stories offer the possibilities of new forms of co-existence and new futures? NewArctic was an attempt to assemble stories of the Arctic as a modern-day homeland in an effort to inspire in captive audiences feelings of wonderment, curiosity, discomfort, but also new awareness and empathy.

  Traversing disciplines, A History of Participation in Museums and Archives provides a framework for understanding how participatory modes in natural, cultural and scientific heritage institutions intersect with practices in Citizen Science and Citizen Humanities. Drawing on perspectives in cultural history, science and technology studies, and media and communication theory, the book explores how museums and archives make science and cultural heritage relevant to people’s everyday lives, while soliciting their assistance and participation in research and citizen projects. More specifically, the book critically examines how different forms of engagement are constructed, how concepts of democratization are framed and enacted, and how epistemic practices in science and the humanities are transformed through socio-technological infrastructures. Tracking these central themes across disciplines and research from Europe, Canada, Australia and the USA, the book simultaneously considers their relevance for museum and heritage studies.

  Domestic dogs have been central to life in the North American Arctic for millennia. The ancestors of the Inuit were the first to introduce the widespread usage of dog sledge transportation technology to the Americas, but whether the Inuit adopted local Palaeo-Inuit dogs or introduced a new dog population to the region remains unknown. To test these hypotheses, we generated mitochondrial DNA and geometric morphometric data of skull and dental elements from a total of 922 North American Arctic dogs and wolves spanning over 4500 years. Our analyses revealed that dogs from Inuit sites dating from 2000 BP possess morphological and genetic signatures that distinguish them from earlier Palaeo-Inuit dogs, and identified a novel mitochondrial clade in eastern Siberia and Alaska. The genetic legacy of these Inuit dogs survives today in modern Arctic sledge dogs despite phenotypic differences between archaeological and modern Arctic dogs. Together, our data reveal that Inuit dogs derive from a secondary pre-contact migration of dogs distinct from Palaeo-Inuit dogs, and probably aided the Inuit expansion across the North American Arctic beginning around 1000 BP.

  The domestication of plants and animals is central to the familiar and now outdated story of civilization's emergence. Intertwined with colonialism and imperial expansion, the domestication narrative has informed and justified dominant and often destructive practices. Contending that domestication retains considerable value as an analytical tool, the contributors to Domestication Gone Wild reengage the concept by highlighting sites and forms of domestication occurring in unexpected and marginal sites, from Norwegian fjords and Philippine villages to British falconry cages and South African colonial townships. Challenging idioms of animal husbandry as human mastery and progress, the contributors push beyond the boundaries of farms, fences, and cages to explore how situated relations with animals and plants are linked to the politics of human difference—and, conversely, how politics are intertwined with plant and animal life. Ultimately, this volume promotes a novel, decolonizing concept of domestication that radically revises its Euro- and anthropocentric narrative.

  In this introductory essay to the special issue, we identify key common themes that are developed in the article contributions. We start by attending to the qualities of what we call “digital heritage ecosystems”, and we reflect on the varied affordances that digital tools and platforms offer. We go on to address the complex political dimensions of digital heritage, and how structures of authority relating to heritage are constructed and can be destabilised by the digital. Finally, we take a look at what goes on behind the scenes of digital heritage initiatives, what is involved in setting up digital platforms and keeping the systems running. This involves bringing to light the materiality of the digital, what it implies in terms of materials, costs and labour. We put forward these perspectives as a way of domesticating the digital and dispelling some of its mystery to make it more adapted to the needs of heritage work.

  Efforts to digitally engage with indigenous source communities and craftspeople are many and diverse. This paper has as its starting point a comparison between two such digital engagements, both celebrations of Arctic animal fur clothing, yet each at seemingly opposite ends of a continuum of possible digital interfaces. Skinddragter Online and Mittimatalik Arnait Miqsuqtuit Collective were both launched the same year, 2015, in Copenhagen and Mittimatalik, Nunavut, Canada respectively. By comparing each with the other, our ambition is to illuminate some of the curatorial choices involved in the making of such digital platforms, and the consequences they have in terms of wider visibility, audiences reached, knowledge included, and collaborative engagements invited. Postcolonial critique can come at the expense of general outreach, conversations between designated experts can be difficult to make equal. Technological sophistication can be challenged by the digital divide. Attention to issues of cultural appropriation is a constant. Yet, driving these initiatives is the need to maintain a digital diversity in online and offline spaces.

  This chapter explores an ongoing process of establishing local and indigenous user rights in Finnmark, Northern Norway. Our concern is the extent to which this ongoing process allows for what we tentatively refer to as ‘otherness within’, i.e. the nation ́s acknowledgement of multiple natures; and/or of indigenous and local nature practices that are radically different from hegemonic and legal notions of property. In our analysis, we explicitly engage Australian legal processes as a comparative figure. Our aim is not to provide an exhaustive account of Australian native title processes but rather to use this as a lens for examining the Norwegian indigenous legal process. The comparison is triggered by the following observation: While legal practices framing landscapes and indigenous rights are hardly straightforward anywhere, the Australian native title framework appears, at certain moments at least, to encompass the possibility of multiple natures; as it has incorporated attempts to engage an indigenous other with radically divergent practices of nature and time (see for example Verran 1998, see also Stengers 2005). Our concern then, is to what extent postcolonial openings provided by an acknowledgement of multiplicity, are incorporated in the ongoing Sami rights process in Norway.

Denne artikkelen forsøker å belyse eksisterene forståelseskonflikter mellom juss og antropologi. Den vurderer også påstanden om at samer er diskriminert i retten, ut fra samiske perspektiver på egen posisjon. Tilslutt, og med det formål å skape dialog mellom de to disipliner, deltar artikkelen i en antropologisk debatt om hvordan man best kan definere sedvanerett på en måte som er forståelig for retten.

  The domestication of plants and animals is central to the familiar and now outdated story of civilization's emergence. Intertwined with colonialism and imperial expansion, the domestication narrative has informed and justified dominant and often destructive practices. Contending that domestication retains considerable value as an analytical tool, the contributors to Domestication Gone Wild reengage the concept by highlighting sites and forms of domestication occurring in unexpected and marginal sites, from Norwegian fjords and Philippine villages to British falconry cages and South African colonial townships. Challenging idioms of animal husbandry as human mastery and progress, the contributors push beyond the boundaries of farms, fences, and cages to explore how situated relations with animals and plants are linked to the politics of human difference—and, conversely, how politics are intertwined with plant and animal life. Ultimately, this volume promotes a novel, decolonizing concept of domestication that radically revises its Euro- and anthropocentric narrative.

• Jensen, Helge Hiram & Ween, Gro Birgit (2025). Statens antropologi - perspektiver på landskap. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Statens antropologi tar utgangspunkt i en erkjennelse av at mye antropologi er skrevet om landskapet innenfor et subarktisk areal, løselig definert med geografisk overlapp mellom nasjonalstaten Norge og kulturområdet Sápmi. Faktiske rettigheter til land og vann og naturforvaltnings autoritet, er saker som stadig undersøkes av antropologer, i respons til spørsmål som bringes på dagsorden i offentlig politisk debatt. Antropologer skriver om forståelse av landskap, møter mellom ulike kunnskapsformer i naturressursforvaltning, og fokuserer ofte på lokalkunnskap, lokale sedvaner og rettsoppfatninger. Imidlertid er antropologer ofte tause om statsteori. Hvilke implikasjoner kan etnografiske funn ha for vår forståelse av statlig suverenitet, komplekse politiske systemer og statlige praksiser? Spørsmål om rettslig pluralisme og komplekse suvereniteter er noe antropologer gjerne undersøker om de følger bistandsorganisasjoner til fjerntliggende postkolonier. Å rette det samme blikket mot innenrikspolitiske forhold synes derimot vanskeligere. Samskrevet av en statsviter og en antropolog med felles fokus på Finnmark, undersøker dette paperet hvordan perspektiver på statlig politikk i de nordiske stater kan gi andre forståelser av landskap, bruk av, og rettigheter til, land i Sapmi.

  Contributing to the academic field of visual anthropology, the thesis explores what can be learned from photographs in the course of a repatriation of 300 photographs from a host museum to a source community. Norwegian merchant and aspiring ethnographer Oscar Mamen took 300 photographs while living in Urga, what today is Ulaanbaatar, between 1911 and 1913. Mamen came in October 1911, to establish an office for the British American Tobacco Company (BAT). As many adventurers at his time, he was equally interested in documentation and collecting. Soon after his arrival, Mongolia declared its independence from China – then under the Qing Dynasty. An independent government and state institutions were established, and the eighth Khutuktu, Bogd Khaan, was crowned as their religious and political head of state. These events were visually inscribed by Mamen in 300 photographs. Between 2019 and 2023, the Museum of Cultural History (MCH) in Oslo, Norway, shared photographs, and texts from the Mamen Collection with the Chinggis Khaan National Museum (CKNM) and the National University of Mongolia (NUM), both in Ulaanbaatar. These institutions agreed to collaborate on the production of two books and a photograph exhibition based on Mamen’s digitised photographs and archival texts. The collection attracted widespread attention. Since the collection was first discovered in an old travelling suitcase in the garage of one of Mamen’s grandchildren in 2016, researchers from Mongolia, Cambridge and Aberdeen had visited the collection. In 2020, the Mongolian President K. Battulga travelled to Oslo for the purpose of visiting the collection. On this occasion President Battulga gave me an impromptu presidential scholarship, thereby announcing his support of my research. This occasion attracted massive attention from Mongolian media. The circulation of Mamen’s photographs on Mongolian internet pages grew exponentially. This thesis argues that the scientific potential of photographs expands their visual historical inscription. Photographs, in this thesis, are image-objects. Based on visual anthropologist Elizabeth Edwards’ scholarship, the central focus is on what photographs do and, more specifically, what kind of work Mongolians expected Mamen’s photographs to do. I explore the nature of photography as material, sensible, and relational objects. Photographs are approached as sites of ambiguity, mutuality, but also as open to independent meaning-making. Photographs make room for alternative histories. My methodology was inspired by Haidy Geismar’s method of ‘walking with photographs’. Starting with Mamen’s photographs, I trace the circulation of these photographs: included as prints in collaborative book projects, printed as large exhibition frames, reproduced by the Mongolian press, and extensively shared and debated, loved and reviled, in online fora. These photographs operated in the present, they enabled the contestation of former Socialist Mongolian historiographies, they were put to work to revitalise traditions, crafts, and personal experiences of what it means to be Mongolian. In this thesis, I see each of these circulations of Mamen’s photographs, including the collaborative production of the two books Mongolia and Mongols Volume X and Going East, as well as the exhibition of Mamen photographs in Urga, analysed as unfolding in James Clifford’s museum contact zone (inspired by Pratt’s original use of the term). There are significant nuances that set this visual repatriation apart. First, the return takes place between a university museum in Oslo, and the Mongolian state. Expanding on Laura Peers and Alison Brown’s term ‘source community’, I describe Mongolia here as a ‘source nation’. My collaborations were with a larger academic state apparatus. The unequal power dynamics commonly apparent in museum–source community relations, did not apply. The thesis hence address critical theory and power imbalances in source community-museum relations by the use of the term ‘source nation’. Second, Mamen’s work and travels in Mongolia were made possible by a colonial world order, and he was definitely a product of these. At the same time, Norway was not a colonial superpower in relation to Mongolia. The restitution that the Mamen collection might contribute to Mongolian peoples, is related to how Mamen’s photographs are seen to intervene in Chinese and later Socialist histories of the Mongolian nation. The circulation of Mamen photographs in initiatives shaped by Mongolian academic institutions are, as I will show, different to the more anarchic, bottom-up, circulation of images on Mongolian online platforms. As circulated in Mongolian online platforms, the photographs soon lost their connection to the MCH and to its collector, Oscar Mamen. These circulations did to a larger degree take control of the image-objects and did more radically shape them according to the histories and the identity politics that rhizomatically became promoted. The Sarr and Savoy Report from 2018 advised the inclusion of restitution as part of repatriation cases. In the return of Mamen’s photographs to Mongolia, the source community-museum relations were partly reversed as Mongolia made use of a state apparatus available to states only. The thesis argues that photographs are especially potent museum objects for this kind of return due to their nature, resisting control from the photographer as well as state institutions, image brokers or museums. They are sites of ambiguousness, opening up the space for alternative histories that might contradict historiographical schools as well as state narratives, histories that, I argue, can contribute to a decolonialisation effect in post-Socialist Mongolia.

• Øien, Maria; Ween, Gro Birgit & Larsen, Kjersti (2015). “Our art comes from our Dreaming”: Exploring the Becoming of Ngan’gi Art from Nauiyu, Australia. Universitetet i Oslo. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  This thesis is an ethnographic study of the art produced by Ngan’gi artists who are members of Merrepen Arts, an art centre located in Nauiyu, a rural Aboriginal community in Northern Australia. Ngan’gi art in itself, but also the art’s origin, circulation and the artistic production practices performed by Ngan’gi artists, makes up the thematic focus of this thesis. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork among the Ngan’gi artists in Nauiyu and in many fine art galleries and museums in the main cities of Australia, this thesis is moving between local art production and international art world scenes. Øien shows how Ngan’gi art is characterised by a translation of sacred Ngan’gi cosmological imagery into commercial paintings and prints. Taking a critical look at the intercultural confrontations involved with this symbolic transformation Øien found inspiration in the analytical term “the becoming of art” introduced by Morphy (2008). Drawing on Morphy’s work Øien combines detailed descriptions of the art’s origin, cosmological foundation, and kinship based art production practices, with a symbolic analysis of Ngan’gi designs, as well as exploring representations surrounding Ngan’gi art circulation and artistic intention. Øien aims at uncovering how all these elements are mutually constitutive to the “becoming” of Ngan’gi art. This study spans the complexities embedded in Ngan’gi art by following the complete path from origin to production, to distribution among consumers. This approach provides a fruitful outset for understanding how art circulation and the interconnectedness between local Ngan’gi artists and other art world participants facilitate dynamic transformations in the art’s value, status and meaning. Øien reveals how the Ngan’gi artists chose to create commercialised creative extension of sacred designs due to a fundamental wish to share the stories of Ngan’gi culture, cosmology, society and history. Art has for Aboriginal artists facilitated public visibility, cultural recognition, and provided income, as well as a mean to communicate cross-culturally and educate their audience of the sacred value embedded in their art. Characteristic to Ngan’gi art is that the artists employ visual symbols in their designs to communicate culturally specific stories. Anchored in Aboriginal systems of image making the Ngan’gi illustrate ritual practises, seasonal bush tucker (foods), Christian Biblical events, and public Dreamtime stories with reference to Ancestral creations. In the past moments of Ancestral creations shared substance originated between humans, Ancestors, and the land. According to Ngan’gi cosmological concepts this notion of shared substance extends also to material forms. Aesthetic painting-practices are furthermore controlled by Ancestral Law, as reproductions of certain Dreaming designs are restricted to members of design owning kinship groups. The Ngan’gi artists therefore value their art as manifestations of a spiritual and kinship based identity. A symbolic art analysis captures how Ngan’gi acrylic paintings embraces this complex form of symbolic representation, where the first (symbols in a design) is considered a manifestation of the latter (the communicated meaning). Øien merges a symbolic analysis with more recent theories in art analysis, by focusing on how locally grounded painting practices change when individual artists innovatively negotiate their use and interpretation of symbols. A main finding is that when Ngan’gi artists paint kinship owned stories with cosmological references, such shared subject-matter is illustrated with differentiated figurative or abstract styles. Øien therefore argues that Ngan’gi artistic practises are located in the nexus between past and present cultural painting conventions and individual artistic creativity, intention and agency. In exploring the becoming of Ngan’gi art, circulation is also made into an analytical category in itself, with the interest of addressing how local Ngan’gi artists confront the challenges inherent in the art worlds. For Ngan’gi artists Merrepen Arts provides their main scene for customer dealings, although, their art has also been included in, and excluded from, privileged fine art galleries with international scope. Thus, art exchanges are what simultaneously enable and limit Ngan’gi opportunities for artistic autonomy and recognition. Øien demonstrates how these spaces act as intercultural meeting places where Aboriginal artists, customers, spectators, curators, and art critics are brought together by a shared interest in art. Øien argues for using the terms “seeing” and “showing” of art as analytic concepts to shed light on how art appreciation and presentations grants objects a particular value and as such make them into art. A central argument is also to capture the dynamic character of Ngan’gi art by describing how artists develop their designs in compliance with customer preferences and the demands of gallery and museum curators. Compared to the art of the neighbouring Arnhem Land regions and the Western Desert, which has been the subject of extensive anthropological research, the art of Nauiyu has been relatively neglected as a research topic. Øien provides new ethnographic knowledge concerning the regional characteristics of the Aboriginal Australian Ngan’gi art. This thesis theoretically engages with wider scholarly debates regarding art, by blurring the disciplinarily borders between art analysis, visual and social anthropology. The value of the insight inspired by the empirical material from Nauiyu contributes to the anthropological understanding of the complex interrelations and ambivalent dialogues involved in the act of painting, when the art has a cosmological foundation that combines artistic creativity with Ancestral precedence.
