Sámi media products play key roles in maintaining and advancing Sámi culture today
Thomas A. DuBois is the Halls-Bascom Professor of Scandinavian Studies, Folklore, and Religious Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Among his previous works is his recent Sacred to the Touch: Nordic and Baltic Religious Wood Carving. Coppélie Cocq is professor of European ethnology at the University of Helsinki, Finland, specializing in Sámi studies. Among her previous publications are Revoicing Sámi Narratives: North Sámi Storytelling at the Turn of the Twentieth Century and the coedited volume Perspectives in Indigenous Writing and Literacies.
"[M]asterful and uplifting study... Highly recommended for
indigenous scholars and activists, as well as students of modern
social media."
*Choice*
"Cocq and DuBois offer an artist-centered account of Sámi agency
within Sámi media products—countering implicitly the many
stereotypes of the newness of Indigenous media use and activist
traditions. The work is of value for both crafting a Sámi activist
counter-history that “talks back” to the empire through its own
media platforms, and in its close readings of numerous multimedia
art works of prominent Sámi artists."
*Journal of American Folklore*
"[M]arks the arrival of Sámi -specific studies in new media and
communication."
*Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice*
"Centering and normalization of Sámi word-presence as well as their
application to the conceptual flow of the book is an important but
subtle feature of the decolonizing knowledge-work the authors seek
to amplify through this book. The effect is one that invites
readers to engage with these words as metaphors in ways that can
affirm the value of Indigenous knowledge itself."
