6. 14. 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.

7. 15. Troubled Atmosphere – On Noticing Air

   Author : Hanna Husberg; Renate Lorenz; Anette Baldauf; Cecilia Åsberg; Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien; []
   Keywords : Noticing air; Aerial imaginaries; Materiality; relationality and performativity of air; Fine Art; Fri Konst;

   Abstract : Through the lense of four different art projects, Troubled Atmosphere – On Noticing Air looks at hybrid, layered, inconsistent, muddled, unruly, contaminated gatherings of air, inquiring how air has been conceptualised and perceived, and how the construction of aerial imaginaries enables specific ways of engaging with the world and excludes others. Paying attention to the materiality, relationality and performativity of air, noticing air is explored as a methodology to consider how air, approached as a naturalcultural and technoecological phenomenon, is made perceptible and knowable under historically specific circumstances, perceptual systems, and politics of representation.
