Norway, it is claimed, has the most social anthropologists per
capita of any country. Well connected and resourced, the discipline
– standing apart from the British and American centres of
anthropology – is well placed to offer critical reflection. In
this book, an inclusive cast, from PhDs to professors, debate the
complexities of anthropology as practised in Norway today and in
the past. Norwegian anthropologists have long made public
engagement a priority – whether Carl Lumholz collecting for
museums from 1880; activists protesting with the Sámi in 1980; or
in numerous recent contributions to international development.
Contributors explore the challenges of remaining socially relevant,
of working in an egalitarian society that de-emphasizes difference,
and of changing relations to the state, in the context of a turn
against multi-culturalism. It is perhaps above all a commitment to
time-consuming, long-term fieldwork that provides a shared sense of
identity for this admirably diverse discipline.
