Exploitations of Sámi land by the mining industry actualize articulations of the meaning of place and landscape in relation to identities. This article investigates processes of place-making with the example of Gállok, situated in traditional Sámi land where exploratory drillings have recently been conducted by a British prospecting mining company. In the context of the mining conflict in Sápmi 2013 and based on interviews with people involved in the resistance movement against new mines in Sápmi as well as ethnographical observations of Camp Gállok, this study underscores how strategies of place-making are more than about the land, but rather about the visibility of a people, a history and indigenous perspectives on nature.

This article is based on a pilot study where I used ethnographic and media studies approaches to examine how contemporary movements and struggles are interwoven with aspirations for a sustainable countryside. My specific interest in this article is the demonstration against the prospecting for a mine in Gallok / Kallak west of Jokkmokk in Sápmi. The demonstration against the prospecting that started in the summer of 2013. I followed the developments of the demonstration through social media, especially Facebook and Twitter. I also made a short field trip to the demonstration site in early August 2013. A conclusion in the article is that the protest was supported and manifested in many different ways of which some were only visible in social media and some only at the demonstration site in Gállok . Investigations of struggle and resistance – of which this study is an example – is telling of the outermost points of conflict in contemporary society. The study contributes with an analysis of the material conditions and social components of the demonstration and the meanings for the mobilization of resistance that were created. This pilot study suggests further research into what stories about the history, present and future that are created at such points of conflict.

Academic gossip is often seen as a vicious expression of academic culture: unproductive surplus energy in a culture of neutrality. In this essay it is argued that gossip is instead a key element in coping with the institutional forces of science, in both modern and post-modern academia.

A pad of squared paper, a pencil, an eraser, peace and quiet. These are the tools with which I have done most of my research in theoretical population genetics. But what do I do when I solve my equations describing evolutionary processes? Inspired by among others the French mathematician Cédric Villani, I discuss what happens when I chose to consider my research craft as a special kind of work process. Communication turns out to be surprisingly important in the process – particularly between different parts of my own thinking. The primary aim of my work process seems to be to produce the comforting feeling of certainty. To reach this goal, my slow pencil-driven handwriting is often better than efficient and apparently fail-safe computer programs.

Humans are part of nature, a fact that is actualized by the food we eat to survive: basically everything we put on our plate can directly be identified as either plants or animals. The way we relate to food reflects a vital part of our understanding of, and relation to, nature. And in large parts of the world, food habits are changing. More and more people choose food based on political and ethical criteria, e.g. animal rights and environmental concerns – something that could be described as a sort of reflexive behavior tied to issues of personal identity. In this article, I'm studying these changing food habits from the perspective of the food producers. With the help of narrative theory, I analyze interviews with three small scale ecological farmers and discuss how they navigate between constance and change when they describe their way towards becoming ecological farmers. It is three very different stories that emerge, that illustrate one way in which the choice to become a small scale ecological food producer can constitute an important part in socially situated identity construction.

Ethnologists are schooled in ethnographic thinking and ethnographic methods. Experience has always been an effective guarantee of ethnographic authority. The characteristics of ethnography, however, are no different for an ethnologist working with historical material. In my experience working methods are often similar too, not least because the method, regardless of field, is based from beginning to end on text in its widest sense, which requires writing in all its various forms. In this article, a lost note, used as evidence in a trial, functions as a starting point for discussing the role of the written word when an ethnologist looks at historical material in order to conduct ethnography in the past. The note is a short extract from the court records concerning a trial against the notorious procuress L. von Plat in 18th century Stockholm. The story is part of my research project that looks at the trade in sexual services in 18th-century Stockholm. Trying to become familiar with the cultural pixels of the period has proved challenging. Despite possessing a detailed material that in many ways approaches the individuals themselves, during the course of my work I have sometimes felt the frustration of never really managing to rise above street level. I continually risk losing myself in the material, going astray in the lanes. The ability of the small-scale perspective to identify flaws, contradictions and cultural diversities is, in my opinion, one of the main advantages of the ethnographic method of attack. Yet to find explanations to questions that arise, a wider context is needed. The aim of the project stretches beyond narrating a number of events and fates from a lost reality. It extends to trying to formulate theories to explain how marginalization processes act and endure over time.
民族学家接受的是民族学思维和民族学方法的教育。经验一直是民族学权威性的有效保证。然而，民族志的特点对于从事史料研究的民族学家来说并无不同。根据我的经验，工作方法往往也是相似的，这主要是因为无论哪个领域的工作方法，自始至终都是以最广义的文本为基础的，这就需要各种形式的写作。在本文中，我们以一张遗失的纸条为切入点，讨论了民族学家在过去进行民族学研究时，在查阅历史资料时文字所起的作用。这张纸条是法院记录中的一小段摘录，涉及 18 世纪斯德哥尔摩对臭名昭著的老鸨 L. von Plat 的审判。这个故事是我研究 18 世纪斯德哥尔摩性服务贸易项目的一部分。事实证明，试图熟悉那个时期的文化像素是一项挑战。尽管我所掌握的详细材料在很多方面都接近于个人本身，但在我的工作过程中，我有时会感到沮丧，因为我从来没有真正超越过街头巷尾的水平。我不断冒着在素材中迷失自我、在小巷中误入歧途的风险。在我看来，从小处着手来发现缺陷、矛盾和文化多样性，是人种学研究方法的主要优势之一。然而，要对出现的问题找到解释，还需要更广泛的背景。这个项目的目的不仅仅是叙述一个失落现实中的一些事件和命运。它还试图提出理论来解释边缘化过程是如何长期存在的。

Scholarly literature is integrated into the fabric of scholars’ everyday life. The literature serves both the purpose of communicating content and of constructing the trustworthiness of research and establishing distinctions between scholars. New digital tools, such as Google Scholar or Research Gate, act as filters, yet they also influence and reshape the way people search and publish. As scholars, we need to be aware how these new filters function, and in what ways they answer to contemporary audit culture which emphasizes visibility and productiveness.

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.

The article highlights themes and paradoxes foundin the issue’s articles about everyday academic“savoir-faire”. One paradox concerns the oxymoroniccharacter of the topic: is academic savoirfaireto be seen as hands-on theory or as theoreticalsleights of hand? The second paradox depictsacademic life and routines as intensely individual,even narcissistic, and social and altruistic. A thirdparadox concerns the high prevalence – and evennecessity – of emotions in what are supposed to berational academic practices and environments.These paradoxes can be seen as containing an implicitmoral diagnosis of the current state of affairswithin Swedish academia.
