| Title | Negotiating Space and Shaping Discourse: Pile o'Sapmi Supreme, the Fosen Case and Sami Heritage in Norway |
| Summary | This thesis examines the negotiations of Sámi heritage in “Norwegian” spaces, specifically through two case studies: Pile o’Sápmi Supreme and the Fosen case. It attempts to expose the different levels of discourse surrounding Sámi heritage in a museum setting and the landscape in Norway. The first chapter deals with the theoretical foundations for this thesis, which lead to the focus on two elements: the art object and the landscape. The second chapter examines the object biography of Pile o’Sápmi by Máret Ánna Sara, its current place at the new National Museum in Oslo, and its role in shaping the Sámi heritage discourse. Subsequently, the third chapter follows the developments of constructing the landscape in visual and legal terms in Norway. It then explores how these definitions and understandings of the landscape have influenced the unfolding of the Fosen case. Ultimately, I examine how the Supreme Court ruling of the Fosen case and the new exhibition at the National Museum, Moving the Needle by Britta Marakatt-Labba, not only bring new perspectives - specifically the Sámi perspective – into play but also create new connections between the arts, objects, the landscape, Indigeneity, and heritage. |
