This article presents Max Mackhé, a pop musician and political activist. He comes from Sweden, lives in Norway and feels like part of the Sámi community. The article discusses Max’s own experiences concerning identity and shows how an ethnic identity can be culturally constructed and that this can be a complex issue that relates to civil rights, among other things. Early in his life he felt affinity towards the Sámi culture and has witnessed racism toward Sámi people. His music nowadays bears witness of his strong political engagement in environmental issues and the rights of indigenous peoples, for instance regarding the current mining exploitations in the north of Sweden. His political activism also takes place in social media, for instance on Twitter.

This article examines the issue of entitlement in narrative interaction. Based on interviews, it investigates how stories are shaped, transferred and turned from personal to collective stories. Further, the role and the responsibility of the researcher in narrative processes are discussed.

During the past decade, Ethnology, like many other disciplines in humanities, indulged in a somewhat anxious self-reflection. The methodological and spatial differences between subjects like Ethnology, Anthropology and History have almost disappeared and the position of Ethnology as a discipline at the intersection of cultural history and analyses of contemporary society is no longer unique. This essay explores the ethnological possibilities and the potential for doing research that includes analyses of both the past and the contemporary. By searching for a deeper knowledge of a phenomenon in both the contemporary and the past, an understanding of the specific conditions surrounding the phenomenon becomes possible. Furthermore, through the study of how and why it became what it is, the contingency of history becomes apparent. With a focus on both the present and the past, it also becomes easier to discern what historical processes are important for us today. Ethnology has much to gain if we, based on the insights of the new cultural history and the linguistic turn, resume the combination of contemporary analysis and historical reconstruction which has characterized the discipline at times. In this way Ethnology also offers something original in relation to what the disciplines of history, contemporary historians and anthropologists do regarding knowledge production.

With a voluminous newspaper material from the 1930s and contemporary life story interviews as starting-point the article discusses how ethnology can handle existential issues. The discussion especially concerns parallels between societal crisis of today and of the 1930s. By making a distinction between “the history we are living and a part of ” (die Geschichte) and “the history we are writing” (die Historie), the aim is to point out a possibility to develop a criticism of historiography, and an “unhistorical” methodology “for life”. These concepts originate from Nietzsche’s (1874/1998) statement that historicism is a threat to life itself. To make it possible to found a method that deals with existential issues raised by traces and heritages from the past, and that also is able to maintain conditions for life, the article argues for an analysis paying attention to the variability, openness and dialogic nature of historical material. Furthermore, this kind of attention is regarded as a crucial political and democratic task for ethnology.

This text deals with anachronism, within the framework of a cultural analytical research effort, in the life and art of Ostrobothnian dance band musician and local politician Roy Rabb. The intention here is to activate a critical thinking on anachronisms, what they do and why it seems that we need them. The arenas and artefacts studied are Roy Rabb’s activities as a dance band musician, his laptop, steel guitar and his sports car, and also his engagement in the populist party the True Finns. The playfully subversive character of many of Rabb’s musical and visual undertakings makes it difficult to place his anachronisms within an unambiguously national or nationalistic context. But on the other hand, some remarks he has been making, of an openly racist and male chauvinistic nature, indicates a certain caution as to a reading the anachronisms of Roy Rabb strictly along the lines of a playful subversiveness.

Critical thinking is one of the most highly respected scientific ideals in the academic life. But when it is practiced, for example in reviewing written texts, it is not always experienced as a good thing. It hurts to be criticised. Therefore this practice will for sure generate dissonant feelings, both in those who are giving critique and in those who are receiving it. In order to manage the ambivalence both parties have to learn a cultural competence for presenting and accepting critical viewpoints as a usable gift.

Many indigenous researchers have described Indigenous Methodologies as alternative ways of thinking about research processes. This article aims to give an introduction to Indigenous Methodologies and to locate them in relation to the qualitative research field. In addition epistemological aspects of indigenous research models are contrasted with mainstream Western approaches in order to open up for a conversation on the use of multiple epistemologies. The article concludes with a discussion on whom Indigenous Methodologies are available to and poses the hopeful proposition that space might be created for Indigenous Methodologies within mainstream academia.

Umeå is appointed the European capital of culture in 2014, a position that was gained partly through putting forward Sami culture and northern Sweden as unique components of Europe. The year offers a variety of possibilities for Sami actors and Sami society to make visible Sami culture, traditions and society. However, it also implies the risk of being used by others in the marketing of a city and of the northern region of Sweden. In this article, the challenge of representation is addressed through the theoretical concept of strategic essentialism. The text identifies problems related to the lack of genuine Sami participation and influence in the process of Umeå2014 and, in the long run, in other societal contexts.

In this article I discuss how to deal with a strong biased material, from an asylum, in an effort to gain new knowledge by setting the scene with the patient in the middle. In this re-reading of historical records, I especially focus on the use of the foucauldian perspective as a help in “cutting” in the material, and consequences of my choice to follow the patient, not the asylum or the time period, primarily. That choise makes it necessary to consider contextualization on different levels. Finally, interpretation and subjectivation is discussed as a complex matter involving many voices, using an example from Salberga hospital in Sweden, an asylum opening in 1930, intedended for “asocial, imbecile men”.
