2. 1. Circling Concepts : A Critical Archaeological Analysis of the Notion of Stone Circles as Sami Offering Sites

   Author : Marte Spangen; Anders Andrén; Bjørnar Olsen; Aleks Pluskowski; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Sami circular offering sites; northern Norway; Middle Ages; early modern period; history of archaeology; rituals; religion; osteoarchaeology; cultural heritage; authorised heritage discourse; neo-shamanism; rites and rights; socio-politics; emotional hegemony; materiality; arkeologi; Archaeology;

   Abstract : The thesis discusses a category of cultural heritage that has been labelled "Sami circular offering sites", aiming to establish some basic facts about their origin, distribution and use, as well as their cultural and socio-political context and influence. The stone enclosures in question have been interpreted as Sami offering sites since the mid-19th century, but a discourse analysis of the research history indicates that this may have been based on a scholarly hypothesis rather than ethnographic or archaeological evidence.

   Abstract : By comparative analysis of Swedish cultural policy (including art policy, heritage policy and Church policy) during the Riksdag periods of 1970-73, 1991-94, 1994-98 and 1998-2002 the relationship between cultural policy and the concept of the nation as a homogenous cultural community (defined by either an ethnic or a state-framed concept) is explored. Neoinstitutional analysis of cultural policy as an organisational field is combined with analysis of how the nation is conceived as an imagined community, and what values it strives to uphold to show how these values and concepts are institutionalised in its cultural policy and how this supports the legitimacy of the State as a nation-state.
