This book is a collaborative effort, co-edited with Sanna Valkonen and Jarno Valkonen, and it is a contribution to the ongoing attempt to bridge academic knowledge and indigenous knowledges. Focusing on the Sápmi region of Northern Europe as a point of departure, the book enriches and sharpens the concept of 'the North.' It combines detailed empirical research on the Sámi people and their life-worlds with theoretical contributions from leading scholars. The authors consider the European North not only as a geographical site or an object of academic research, but as a particular way of knowing and being, with its own needs, practices, concepts, and imaginings. The North, as an epistemic position, offers its own conceptions of politics, human agency, history, and social relations, which this book studies and describes. The volume challenges us to consider social scientific knowledge, its significance, and the practices of producing it in a new way.

Stensrud, this is the fifth book in the Overheating series on Pluto Press. Previous books have looked at identity, mining, runaway globalisation in Australia and overheating as a lens through which to interpret contemporary globalisation. This book emphasises the relationship between climate change and the capitalist growth economy, and — in a comparative spirit — has contributions dealing with Argentina, Mongolia, Peru, India, Greenland and the Pacific. As the co-editor, I should mention that Astrid did the lion’s share of the work. I was ill for a long time and remain grateful to her for taking responsibility. Proud of the result! You may read more about the book, and perhaps even order it, from Pluto Press. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550493966999-INXMXWFVV3H3RWNBRBMO/ethnic+50.jpg Books source - Ethnic Groups and Boundaries Today A Legacy of Fifty Years Routledge, 2019 The publication of Fredrik Barth’s Ethnic Groups and Boundaries marked a milestone in the conceptualization of ethnicity and ethnic groups and opened a new field of enquiry in the social scientific study of ethnicity. Ethnic Groups and Boundaries Today: A Legacy of Fifty Years demonstrates the enduring significance of the work, identifying its shortcomings and showcasing the state of the art today, fifty years after the publication of the groundbreaking original. Bringing together a team of stellar contributors, all of whom have been inspired by Barth's theory and have made significant contributions of their own to the theorisation and research of ethnicity, this volume assesses the theoretical approach presented in Ethnic Groups and Boundaries, both in the context of its time and with the hindsight of the developments in the social sciences since then. It emphasizes the legacy of the original text and determines its significance, whilst identifying and elaborating on the main lines of the subsequent developments of the concept of ethnicity that were influenced by Ethnic Groups and Boundaries, but that have since developed and superseded the original. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the concept and study of ethnicity. Here’s the book at the publisher’s page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494292925-19S286EJIS3F79IQ6GL1/miningencounters.jpg Books source - Mining Encounters Extractive Industries in an Overheated World Edited by Robert Jan Pijpers and Thomas Hylland Eriksen Pluto Press, 2018 In a fast-changing world, where the extraction of natural resources is key to development, whilst also creating environmental and social disasters, understanding how landscapes, people and politics are shaped by extraction is crucial. Looking at resource extraction in numerous locations at different stages of development, including North, West and South Africa, India, Kazakhstan and Australia, a broad picture is created, covering coal, natural-gas, gold and cement mining, from corporate to 'artisanal' extraction, from the large to the small scale. The chapters answer the questions: What is ideological about resource extraction? How does extraction transform the physical landscape? And how does the extractive process determine which stakeholders become dominant or marginalised? Contributing to policy debates, Mining Encounters uncovers the tensions, negotiations and disparities between different actors in the extractive industries, including exploiters and those who benefit or are impoverished by resource exploitation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494331044-ZZVO5MC2UWFGDXIXICYN/9780745338262.jpg Books source - Boomtown Runaway Globalisation on the Queensland Coast Pluto Press, 2018 Sitting next to the Great Barrier Reef, marinated in coal and gas, the industrial boomtown of Gladstone, Australia embodies many of the contradictions of the 'overheated' world: prosperous yet polluted; growing and developing yet always on the precipice of uncertainty. Capturing Gladstone at the peak of its accelerated growth in 2013-14, Thomas Hylland Eriksen dissects the boomtown phenomenon in all its profound ambivalence. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book explores the tensions and resentments surrounding migrant workers, and examines local identity, family life, infrastructure and local services. Writ large in Boomtown are the clashes of scale at the heart of the town's contradictions - where the logic of big industry and the state compete with that of the individual, local communities and ecology, revealing the current crisis of political legitimacy across the world.

Diversity and Democracy Edited by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Ramola Ramtohul University of Mauritius Press, 2018 Speaking of Mauritius as an economic miracle has become a cliché, and with good reason: Its development since Independence in 1968 can easily be narrated as a rags-to-riches story. In addition, it is a stable democracy capable of containing the conflict potential inherent in its complex ethnic and religious demography. This book brings together some of the finest scholarship, domestic as well as foreign, on contemporary Mauritius, offering perspectives from constitutional law, cultural studies, sociology, archaeology, economics, social anthropology and more. While celebrating the indisputable, and impressive, achievements of the Mauritian nation on its fiftieth birthday, this book is far from toothless. Looking back inevitably implies looking ahead, and in order to do so, critical self-scrutiny is essential, to be able to learn from the mistakes of the past. The contributors raise fundamental questions concerning a broad range of issues, from the dilemmas of multiculturalism to the marginal role of women in public life, from the question of constitutional reform and the continued problem of corruption to the slow destruction of Mauritius’ joy and pride, namely the beauty and purity of its natural scenery. Taking stock of the first fifty years, this book also looks ahead to the next fifty years, giving some cues as to where Mauritius can and should aim in the next decades. The editors: Since he first did fieldwork in Mauritius on ethnic dynamics and their relationship to national identity in 1986, Thomas Hylland Eriksen has followed the economic, cultural and political situation in the island. Ramola Ramtohul, a sociologist working at the University of Mauritius, is a prolific researcher on education, feminism and women's activism in the island, and is currently researching, among other projects, the implications of foreign investments in real estate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550495951002-YMU2ARYKX6DZVS07RMY9/knowledge.jpg Books source - Knowledge and Power in an Overheated World Edited by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Elisabeth Schober Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo, 2017 Suddenly, we seem to live in a time dominated by ‘fake news’, ‘alternative facts’, conspiracy theories, scepticism of scientific research, partial accounts parading as ‘the real truth which has hitherto been concealed from us, the people’, revolts against allegedly smug academic elites and distant political elites – a time where YouTube videos claiming research into climate change to be a scam get far more viewers than videos presenting the science of climate change. In this world, where the authority of science and empirical methods is being questioned and where even world leaders may brush aside uncomfortable facts as ‘fake news’, it is increasingly difficult to know whose knowledge to trust. This insight is the starting point of this collection of articles, which has grown out of a workshop organised by the ERC AdvGr project ‘Overheating: The Three Crises of Globalisation’ in Oslo in 2015. We are very pleased to be able to offer these texts as a free e-book, not least considering the fact that its subject-matter is knowledge. Contributors to the book are Ben Campbell, Elisabeth Schober, Desmond McNeill, Christina Garsten and Thomas Hylland Eriksen. Art direction and technical expertise by Maria Kartveit. Thomas Hylland Eriksen is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and PI of the ERC AdvGr project ‘Overheating’. His most recent books in English are Globalization: The Key Concepts (2nd ed., 2014), Fredrik Barth: An Intellectual Biography (2015) and Overheating: Coming to Terms With Accelerated Change (2016). Elisabeth Schober is an Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo. As part of the Prof. Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s “Overheating”-research project, she has recently undertaken seven months of ethnographic field research in the Philippines and South Korea. Previous research of hers on the US military presence in Seoul, South Korea, forms the premise of her most recent monograph “Base Encounters. The US Armed Forces” (2016, Pluto). The ebook is available here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494402992-4TNEO41AJJXD0KP1A3FE/overheatedworld.jpg Books source - An Overheated World An Anthropological History of the Early Twenty-first Century Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017 Although economic, cultural and demographic changes are part and parcel of the modern world, changes in a number of areas have accelerated in the last quarter-century - a period sometimes spoken of as the global information society, a world of `liquid modernity' - or of fully-fledged global neoliberalism associated with deregulation, flexible accumulation and financialisation. At a global level, some of the substantial areas where change has accelerated are, apart from the spectacular spread of new information technology, tourism, foreign direct investment, urbanisation, resource extraction through mining, energy use, species extinction, displacement, and international trade. These and other changes are, needless to say, perceived and acted upon differently in different countries and localities, and in order to understand the implications of the present acceleration of history, they have to be explored locally. This book gives a compelling perspective on the contemporary, `overheated' world, presenting ethnographic material from many countries and weaving the local and particular together with large-scale global acceleration. This book was first published as a special issue of History and Anthropology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494425857-0AO9X79BI6CHECVUD6B0/9780745399126.jpg Books source - Identity Destabilised Living in an Overheated World Pluto Press, 2016 The world is overheated: Too full and too fast; out of sync, contradiction-ridden and unequal. It is the age of the Anthropocene, of humanity’s indelible mark upon the planet. In short, it is globalisation - but not as we know it. The publisher’s presentation of the book can be found here. This collection explores social identities in today’s ‘overheated’ world, seen from an anthropological perspective. The focus is on contradictions, tensions and paradoxes: How can an identity be stable if its border is constantly shifting? How can a community survive if it is incorporated into a huge entity? How does belonging work in new cities? And what can indigenous peoples do to retain a sense of self in a fast-moving neoliberal world? Ethnographically rich and diverse in its scope, ntains chapters from many parts of the world, including the Philippines, Israel, Australia, the Cape Verde Islands and Afghanistan. The authors investigate how identity changes in response to contemporary forces, from rapid industrialisation, the enforced return of migrants and the silencing of indigenous groups to sudden population growth in boomtowns and the touristification of local culture.

Too full and too fast; uneven and unequal. It is the age of the Anthropocene, of humanity's indelible mark upon the planet. In short, it is globalisation - but not as we know it. In this groundbreaking book, Thomas Hylland Eriksen breathes new life into the discussion around global modernity, bringing an anthropologist's approach to bear on the three interrelated crises of environment, economy and identity. He argues that although these crises are global in scope, they are perceived and responded to locally, and that contradictions abound between the standardising forces of information-age global capitalism and the socially embedded nature of people and local practices. Carefully synthesising the ethnographic and comparative methods of anthropology with macrosocial and historical material, offers an innovative new perspective on issues including energy use, urbanisation, deprivation, human (im)mobility, and the spread of interconnected, wireless information technology.

This is how it is presented on Amazon: ‘Fredrik Barth is one of the towering figures of twentieth-century anthropology. This intellectual history traces the development of Barth’s ideas and explores the substance of his contributions. In an accessible style, Thomas Eriksen’s biographical study reveals the magic of ethnography to professional anthropologists and non-practitioners alike. Exploring his six decade career, it follows Barth from early ecological studies in Pakistan, to political studies in Iran, to groundbreaking fieldwork in Norway, New Guinea, Bali and Bhutan. Eriksen argues that Barth's voracious appetite for fieldwork holds the key to understanding his remarkable intellectual development and the insights it produced. The book raises many of the same questions that emerge from Barth's own work - of unity and diversity, of culture and relativism, of art and science. Thomas Eriksen is himself a major contributor to the study of anthropology, as well as a distinguished educator, and is therefore ideally placed to introduce the life and work of Fredrik Barth. This will surely be the definitive book on its subject for many years to come.’ Publisher´s page can be found here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1548159524622-92O4LM0Z690WDRLORATT/51zXVMR5kmL._UY250_.jpg Books source https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494502531-MBM5CBR4XJG6FKFGVDIF/71XxeSVqJuL.jpg Books source - What is anthropology? Pluto Press, 2004/2017 This book came about as follows. In 2003, I was invited to contribute a short, introductory book (not primarily for students, but for that almost mythical entity called the interested layperson) about social anthropology. It was to be written in Norwegian, and would subsequently be published by Universitetsforlaget (HVA ER sosialantropologi?). When, soon after, I got the chance to translate it into English, I included the two chapters that, for reasons of length, had to be omitted from the Norwegian edition (those on thought and nature). As a result, the English edition is somewhat fuller and (to my mind) slightly more satisfactory than the original. A sample can be accessed here. The publisher has this to say about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494558991-PYBBUL8SQITX3IE2BFBQ/71jU4tlsHVL.jpg Books source - Small Places, Large Issues Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology Pluto Press, 1995/2000/2010 Little did I know, when I was drafting the first, Norwegian edition of this book in 1992, that I'd still be working on the same book two decades later. Third, revised and updated editions of both the Norwegian and English editions were publised simultaneously in May 2010. And it now seems exceedingly likely that there will be a fourth edition published in the next couple of years. This book is, in all of its incarnations, an introduction to social and cultural anthropology written by a practitioner who believes in ‘the militant middle ground’ (Michael Herzfeld's term). There is no attempt here to redefine the field radically, or to ride hobbyhorses along paths seen only by the author. In my view, that kind of strategy would have been irresponsible, and would have rendered the book far less useful as a first full introduction to anthropology at the university level. Inevitably, ‘my kind of anthropology’ shines through – it is probably more ‘European’ than ‘American’ in its dominant approach – but the book should be reasonably representative of anthropology as it is being practiced across the world today. Omissions are many (again this is inevitable), but at least it is getting better with each edition. Or so I think. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. A chapter from the first (1995) edition can be read here. The publisher presents the fourth edition of the book here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494661108-FUHR80R76DYUKZWZU2K4/71y8jwAGg0L.jpg Books source - A History of Anthropology With Finn Sivert Nielsen Pluto Press, 2001/2013 It was on the eve of the millennium. My colleague Finn Sivert Nielsen had just written a great book about field methodology (in Norwegian), and I had written quite a bit myself. When we were approached by Fagbokforlaget in Bergen (hello, Tor Paulson!) with a request to write a history of anthropology, we pounced on the idea, although it took a while for us actually to write the thing. A long while, to be precise. Finn has a great eye for detail, anecdote and fact, while I seem to have a rather un-anthropological flair for the large canvas. We felt that the writing process went pretty smoothly, drafts bouncing back and forth in cyberspace for weeks and months. Pluto wanted an English edition, and we duly translated and condensed the somewhat bulky Norwegian book. After a decade or so, it was time for an update and revision, and I think Finn was especially pleased with this, as it enabled us (actually, mostly him) to correct a handful of embarrassing errors in the first edition. In addition to rewriting not only the recent past, but perhaps to an even greater extent the slightly more distant past. It somehow seemed that between 2001 and 2012, the 1870 changed more than the 1970s did. A chapter from the first edition can be read here, while the preface to the second edition and a sample chapter have been made available here.

He has contributed to the understanding of urban life and transnational networks, and the role of media, paradoxes of identity and new forms of community, suggesting to see culture in terms of flows rather than as bounded entities. Contributions honor Hannerz’ legacy by addressing theoretical, epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges facing anthropological inquiry on topics from cultural diversity policies in Europe to transnational networks in Yemen, and from pottery and literature to multinational corporations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494619120-M3Q21055RQGK5LIMEBSX/globalisation.jpg Books source - Globalization The Key Concepts Berg 2007/Bloomsbury 2014 First published in 2007, this book demanded a substantial amount of work when the time came for a revision and update. Seven years can be a long time when many of the empirical examples refer to contemporary events. The new edition also bears the mark of my recent and current research on accelerated change. From the new preface: ‘We live in a shrunken world, a world of contacts, frictions, comparisons, communication and movements which are sometimes unrestricted by distance. At the same time, and partly for that very reason, boundary-making of various kinds has gained a new and heightened significance through attempts to stem and regulate such flows, and besides, many human activities continue to take place without any consequences beyond the local. The aim of this book is to outline some of the main dimensions of globalization, to highlight its dual (local/non-local) character, and to indicate some ways in which they are being studied and critiqued. ’ The Preface and Introduction of the first edition have been made available here, while the chapter on disembedding from the second edition can be read here. This is the publisher's presentation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494711192-01GPX9N4MTREX2Y0PH5A/9780745329840.jpg Books source - A World of Insecurity Anthropological Perspectives on Human Security Pluto Press, 2010 Edited with Ellen Bal and Oscar Salemink at the Free University of Amsterdam, where I had a Special Chair from 2004 to 2006, this book explores the possible uses of the concept of human security in anthropology. The concept of human security was introduced by the UNDP in 1994, in order to expand the scope of development work and research. Human security is defined as ‘freedom from want and freedom from fear’, and thus includes the subjective or existential dimensions in an area which has been dominated by quantitative and ‘objective’ measurements of well-being. So far, the concept of human security has been largely absent from academic anthropology. This is regrettable insofar as anthropologists thereby exclude themselves from relevant theoretical and policy debates that touch on the heart of the discipline, as well as from potentially fruitful exchanges with other disciplines. This book represents an effort to sharpen and broaden the scope of human security research, placing it at the very centre of social inquiry. The introductory chapter can be read here.

Explicitly comparative in its approach, Paradoxes of Cultural Recognition discusses central issues regarding multiculturalism in today's Europe, based on studies of Norway and the Netherlands. Distinguishing clearly the four social fields of the media, education, the labour market and issues relating to gender, it presents empirical case studies, which offer valuable insights into the nature of majority/minority relationships, whilst raising theoretical questions relevant for further comparisons.

Bringing together a clutch of scholars from a variety of disciplines who shared a passion for flags, we seemed to cover the entire range, from nerdy focus on minuscule detail to grand and irresponsible theories about modernity and human nature. The result ... well, at least it was enjoyable for us. The chapters deal largely with North America and North-Western Europe. The sub-title could actually have been ‘A North Atlantic Perspective’. Recommended for anyone interested in nationalism and symbolism. My introductory chapter can be downloaded via this link.

Since the book was published, obscurantism has returned with a vengeance, but so has a widespread desire to take part in the big conversation about who we are and where we are going. This is what the publisher says: ‘Engaging Anthropology takes an unflinching look at why the discipline has not gained the popularity and respect it deserves in the twenty-first century.While showcasing the intellectual power of discipline, Eriksen takes the anthropological community to task for its unwillingness to engage more proactively with the media in a wide range of current debates, from immigrant issues to biotechnology. Eriksen argues that anthropology needs to rediscover the art of narrative and abandon arid analysis and, more provocatively, anthropologists need to lose their fear of plunging into the vexed issues modern societies present.’ The book is presented more fully here. The publisher presents the book here, and I am pleased to see that it can be bought as an e-book directly from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494926555-LBDCWBS6C4LQ2WX3O8CB/1001004001606493.jpg Books source - Common Denominators Ethnicity, Nationalism and the Politics of Compromise in Mauritius Berg, 1998 An anthropological monograph based on my fieldwork in Mauritius (1986 and 1991/92), this book uses the ethnic and cultural complexity of Mauritius as a context for raising questions of broader relevance: Can multiethnic nations be stable and meaningful imagined communities? Are multiethnic societies necessarily multicultural ones, or is the very term 'multicultural society' a contradiction in terms? To what extent do processes of modernisation lead to an obliteration of ethnic boundaries, and in what ways are the very same boundaries strengthened through social change? Is it possible to avoid discrimination against minorities in multiethnic society? How can ethnic conflict be avoided? And what does the word 'we' mean? Questions, I should add, that I have been pursuing in much of my later work elsewhere, not least in my native Norway. A chapter from the book has been made available here.

I still (2014) receive requests to give public talks about the subject, which must have struck a nerve in the turn-of-the-millennium Zeitgeist. The publisher says this (among other things): The turn of the millennium is characterized by exponential growth in everything related to communication – from the internet and email to air traffic. Tyranny of the Moment deals with some of the most perplexing paradoxes of this new information age. Who would have expected that apparently time-saving technology results in time being scarcer than ever? And has this seemingly limitless access to information led to confusion rather than enlightenment? In my current Overheating research, I'm building on some of the ideas first developed in Tyranny of the Moment, notably that of converging exponential growth curves in otherwise distinct areas, as well as flexibility as a key variable. The book is presented here. The publisher presents it here. By the way, I am pleased to see that it is still on display, thanks, Pluto! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550495002990-THI68LJR7L3QKWEHT14J/usandthem.jpg Books source - Us and Them in Modern Societies Ethnicity and Nationalism in Trinidad, Mauritius and Beyond Scandinavian University Press, 1992 Thanks to the anthropologist Berit Berge, then an energetic and innovative editor with the Scandinavian University Press/Universitetsforlaget, I got the opportunity to publish this book, somehow out of turn. (Soon after, she invited me to write an introductory textbook in social anthropology for Norwegian students – the book that would turn into Small Places, Large Issues in English.) This is not a monograph. It is not even my Ph D dissertation, but a collection of articles, published and unpublished, framed by a newly written introduction (and a generous preface by one of my heroes, Professor Bruce Kapferer). It is about groups, boundaries, pluralism, the straitjacket of ethnicity as well as its existential and material rewards, non-ethnic nations and the difficulties of moulding imagined communities out of diverse human materials. First and foremost, it is about two tropical islands which did not only shape my anthropological interests, but also taught me a number of lessons about life, the universe and everything. The book is now hard to find outside of well-stocked university libraries, and for that reason, I've made parts of it available in two formats on this site. The first chapter (in html) is here, and a couple of later chapters can be downloaded (in pdf) here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550494752636-NM7XFV1NFWGSNHC2WOS9/Ethn1.jpeg Books source - Ethnicity and Nationalism Anthropological Perspectives Pluto Press, 1993, 2002, 2010 As with Small Places, Large Issues, this book has followed me throughout my professional life – I was thirty when I wrote it – to an extent I couldn't possibly anticipate at the time. When Richard A. Wilson, editor of the brand new Anthropology, Culture & Society series at Pluto Press, asked me if I would consider the possibility of writing an introduction to ethnicity, I was surprised and flattered. Naturally, I felt I had to give it a try, and this spontaneous decision would, as it turned out, mark the start not only of many years of collaboration with Anne Beech and Pluto Press, but also the beginning of a long and rewarding friendship with Richard and his family. Not that I knew much about him, or Pluto, when I set to work. Beyond the bare bones of embryonic e-mail, we didn't have Internet at the time, and I couldn't google the enigmatic Dr. Wilson, and so I naturally imagined him to be an elderly don with the natural authority that befits a book series editor (benevolently bearded, pipe-smoking, tweeded etc). It was only when we met in London that I came to realise that he was younger than myself. Blimey. It was easy, and fun, to write this book back in 1992. I based the scaffolding on my lectures on ethnicity and nationalism at the University of Oslo, adding and subtracting, elaborating and condensing as I went along. The subsequent revisions were harder. The field had grown in all sorts of directions, and I had grown somewhat more ambivalent myself. If anything, the third (2010) edition has the advantage of being more nuanced (and hopefully more mature) than the first (1993) one. It is theoretically updated, but not only academic views of the world, but aspects of the world out there have changed in the last couple of decades. There is, accordingly, increased attention to the growth of politicised religion, for example in India and the Middle East, the increased commercialisation of identity in a neoliberal world, the heightened tensions between quests for purity and hybrid identities and so on. I should nevertheless concede that the cover design has improved immeasurably more than the stuff inside the covers. The first edition is presented here. The third edition is presented here. And the publishers have their say here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550495930152-G150ME28RW0FFI8AY37V/languages.jpg Books source - Languages at the Margins of Modernity Linguistic Minorities and the Nation-State PRIO Report no. 5, 1991 Too long to be an article, but too short to be a book, this extended essay was published as a PRIO report (the International Peace Research Institute, where I spent a year as a research fellow in 1990–91). Written simultaneously with my Ph D, ‘Languages’ is an attempt to think through the relationship between equal rights and the right to be different in the context of the homogenising pressures of the modern nation-state. As the title implies, the empirical focus was on language, which had been less central to my doctoral work. This is the original abstract: On the one hand, cultural differences in the contemporary world seem to vanish rapidly. This is effected through homogenising processes of economic and political integration into nation-states and into the global system, as well as the globalisation of culture brought about through modern means of mass communication. On the other hand, the last decades has seen the widespread resurgence of ethnic sentiments and revitalisation of local cultural identities. This apparent paradox is seen as an inherent aspect of modernity. The processes of integration into nation-states puts strong pressures on minorities to assimilate. For this reason, many minority languages are threatened. The text, defending the rights of minority languages and criticising their nationalist antagonists, compares several linguistic minorities. The comparison focuses on their relationship with the nation-states to which they are subjected, their strategies of resistance, and problems in challenging linguistic hegemony. Perhaps paradoxically, cultural minorities may have to assimilate culturally in important respects in order to present their case effectively and thereby retain their minority identity. A main conclusion emerging from the comparisons is that states need not be nation-states relying on nationalist ideologies proclaiming the virtues of absolute cultural homogeneity. Although they may be unspectacular, forms of linguistic oppression are forms of oppression no less, and demand the attention of peace and conflict researchers."

It presents the history of Mauritius – slavery, Indian indentureship, wars between France and Britain, Independence – briefly before moving to the analysis proper. Its focus is the maintenance of ethnic boundaries between the main categories of Creoles (Catholics of largely African descent), Hindus, Muslims, Tamils, Chinese and Franco-Mauritians; as well as discussing the conditions for a multi-ethnic Mauritian nation. I later came to realise that the idea of a multi-ethnic nation is a rather controversial one among theorists of nationalism, many of whom tend to see nations as identical with ethnic groups which control a state. Nevertheless, I argue that the sense of nationhood is sometimes strong in Mauritius and occasionally surpasses ethnic loyalty in importance. In my later work on Mauritius, I moved a step further and looked at interethnic marriages and the emergence of hybrid and post-ethnic identities. The concluding chapter can be read here. However, I was recently given to understand that the entire book is available as a PDF file, so here it is! * Since 2003, the Norwegian academic system has been standardised in accordance with the European ‘Bologna Process’, and we now have two-year MA degrees. In the old days, however, the postgraduate degree in anthropology in theory took three and a half years (in practice often longer), and involved a full year of fieldwork. As a result, a cand. polit. (MPhil) dissertation could easily run for two or three hundred pages. https://www.hyllanderiksen.net/boeker-kilde daily 0.75 2019-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550222524778-BEF9BF69E6EZML5QXPSJ/grenserforkultur.jpg Boeker kilde - Grenser for kultur?

Boken problematiserer blant annet den nyliberalistiske frihetsforståelsen (frihet forstått som individuell valgfrihet) og ytringsfriheten som absolutt verdi. Jeg er spesielt glad over å ha fått med Arne Johan Vetlesen som medredaktør, blant annet fordi han er en av de skarpeste kulturkritikerne i landet og Norges viktigste sosialfilosof. CULCOM-bøkene inneholder ikke bare forskningsbaserte artikler, men også andre slags tekster.

For at noe skal være normalt, må noe annet være unormalt. Hva som er normalt og unormalt varierer imidlertid, både historisk, mellom samfunn og innen ett og samme samfunn. Bidragsyterne, som blant annet inkluderer språkforskere og samfunnsvitere, skjønnlitterære forfattere og akademiske multikunstnere, nærmer seg normaliteten fra ulike synsvinkler, men på en underlig måte skriver de alle om det samme – om normalisering og standardisering, utestengelse og grensedragninger.

Trygghethandler følgelig om risiko, matsikkerhet og overvåkningssamfunnet, foruten om den nye etniske og kulturelle kompleksiteten.

Og her er forord og innledning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219561748-0GS1TW7OZUS5TBJJOE5M/9788202265656.jpg Boeker kilde - Kosmopolitikk En optimistisk politikk for det 21. århundre med Halvor Finess Tretvoll Cappelen, 2006 Det må ha vært i 2005 at Halvor Finess Tretvoll, da journalist i Ny Tid, laget en intervjuserie om kulturradikalisme (et tema han også har forfulgt andre steder, bl.a. i en bok skrevet sammen med Stian Bromark). Jeg var blant de intervjuede, og spilte ballen over til hans generasjon. Det er opp til dere nå, sa jeg. Men jeg innså snart at posisjonen var defensiv og gammelmannsaktig, og sendte en mail til Halvor med spørsmål om ikke han og jeg skulle gjøre et forsøk på å definere en kulturradikalisme som var relevant for en globalisert informasjonsalder. Som sagt, så gjort, og her er resultatet. Slik begynner boken: ‘Et spøkelse hjemsøker verden: Globaliseringen. Grenser forsvinner, nye blir streket opp. Alt flyter raskere og brer om seg hurtigere enn før, fra arbeidskraft og varer til fundamentalistiske ideer og mcdonaldisering. Globaliseringsprosessen har politiske, økonomiske, kulturelle og økologiske aspekter ved seg. Den skaper både frihet og ufrihet, undertrykkelse og frigjøring, forflatning og berikelse.’ Litt av fortsettelsen kan leses her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224403502-IPQ8ZBASQRAH7OOVH4NO/internett.jpg Boeker kilde - Internett i praksis Om teknologiens uregjerlighet Spartacus, 2005 Da Internett slo gjennom tidlig på 1990-tallet, dukket det raskt opp vidløftige profetier om hvordan denne teknologien ville forandre folks hverdagsliv og identitet. Papirbøkene sang på siste verset, og folk ville skaffe seg venner på Taiwan og i El Salvador heller enn å besøke naboen, ble det sagt. Slik gikk det ikke. Internett har riktignok forandret livene til mange, men ikke på de måtene man hadde regnet med. Tidlig på 2000-tallet haddejeg fått noen prispenger og trengte et prosjekt å bruke dem på. Hva var da mer passende enn et bokprosjekt sammen med et knippe flinke studenter som nettopp eller nylig hadde skrevet ferdig hovedoppgaver/masteroppgaver om den menneskelige dimensjonen ved ny teknologi? Noen kom fra antropologi, andre fra TIK-senteret. De skrev om chatting på Toten, internettkafeer i det sørlige India, fransk ambivalens til ny informasjonsteknologi og mye annet. Her er mer om boken og en smakebit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219551781-HFMYCR9BY26774YZXQD9/54_1604921138.jpg Boeker kilde - Røtter og føtter Identitet i en omskiftelig tid Aschehoug, 2004 Andre del av det som etter hvert skulle vise seg å bli en liten serie på fire bøker om utilsiktede bivirkninger av moderniteten, ligger mer direkte i forlengelsen av min egen forskning enn de øvrige tre. Røtter og føtter dreier seg om identitetsparadokset: På grunn av globaliseringen, blir vi likere og likere over hele verden. Jo likere vi blir, desto mer forskjellige forsøker vi å være. Men jo mer forskjellige vi prøver å være, desto likere blir vi ... ‘Erfaringen forteller oss jo at identitet er omskiftelig, at hvordan vi ser oss selv og andre kommer an på hvilket utsiktspunkt vi har, hvilken linse vi ser gjennom, eller for den del dagsformen og den siste tidens nyhetsoppslag. Selvfølgelig er bildet med to varianter altfor enkelt. I virkeligheten finnes det en mengde alternativer når man skal avgrense “jeg”, “vi” og “de andre” i forhold til hverandre. De mest interessante er kanskje endog identitetene som skapes i gråsonene, ikke som en pendelbevegelse mellom svart og hvitt, men mer som en tilstand der man veksler mellom å se seg som både-og og enten-eller.’ Her er er par kapitler fra boken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550220166585-4IW4E9DNJOSIQ1OPCP1W/Hvaer.jpg Boeker kilde - Hva er sosialantropologi? Universitetsforlaget, 2004 Franskmennene har den mangeårige Que sais-je? med over tusen titler så langt. Britene har en hel haug med ‘short introductions’ til alt fra hinduisme til potteplanter. Nordmennene (ved Universitetsforlaget) bestemte seg for at det var på tide at vi fikk noe tilsvarende, og forlagets HVA ER-serie var født. Hvor mange bøker som foreløpig er kommet ut vet jeg ikke, men serien er åpenbart en suksess, for stadig kommer nye titler. Da jeg skrev mitt bidrag, blingsa jeg en smule på formatet, boken ble for lang, og to av kapitlene samt etterordet måtte ut. De er reddet i den engelske utgaven, og er dessuten gjort tilgjengelig for lesere av dette nettstedet her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224590430-HZ8A0L6BVEEIU1KQQ233/verdensende.jpg Boeker kilde - Til verdens ende og tilbake Antropologiens historie med Finn Sivert Nielsen Fagbokforlaget, 2001 Årtusenskiftet nærmet seg. Min kollega Finn Sivert Nielsen, som da arbeidet på Antropologisk Institut i København, hadde nettopp skrevet en strålende bok om feltarbeid, og jeg hadde også skrevet noen lærebøker i antropologi. Da vi ble kontaktet av Tor Paulson i Fagbokforlaget, som lurte på om vi ikke hadde lyst til å skrive en bok om antropologiens historie sammen, slo vi til umiddelbart. Riktignok fantes det en slik bok på norsk allerede (av Arne Martin Klausen), men den var nokså summarisk og dessuten ikke helt ny. Dessuten viste det seg at prosjektet tok noe lenger tid enn planlagt. Ganske mye lenger, for å være nøyaktig. Men da vi først kom i gang med skrivingen, gikk det unna. Finn har et skarpt øye for detaljer og anekdoter, mens jeg ser ut til å ha en litt uantropologisk hang til lange linjer og fugleperspektiv. Utkastene fløy gjennom cyberspace, og da boken endelig ble ferdig, viste det seg at Pluto Press kunne tenke seg en forkortet engelskspråklig utgave. Siden den gangen har Tor forlengst sluttet i Fagbokforlaget, men boken skal fremdeles være å få tak i. I mellomtiden er det utkommet en ny engelskspråklig utgave, og sannelig er boken også oversatt til flere andre språk også. Her ligger et kapittel, og her har Finn lagt ut noe mer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219559628-ZND5HD200T79QKPALDLS/9788202220754.jpg Boeker kilde - Bak fiendebildet Islam og verden etter 11. september Cappelen, 2001 Med unntak av et nyskrevet førstekapittel om nettverkskrig, er denne boken i all hovedsak en oppdatert versjon av Det nye fiendebildet fra 1995. Det var på bakgrunn av terrorangrepet i USA 11. september 2001 at det falt naturlig å utgi en ny versjon av Fiendebildet, som dreide seg om spenningene og motsigelsene mellom ‘Vesten’ og ‘islam’. Det var særlig anmeldelsene som minnet om at vi hadde gått inn i globaliseringens paranoide fase etter 11. september. Særlig i Danmark var tonen i anmeldelsene langt mer aggressive og uforsonlige enn de hadde vært da den første utgaven kom ut, selv om det kosmopolitiske hovedargumentet var uforandret. Det nye kapittelet befinner seg blant annet her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224770792-RNN5RUYDGEPTV07KBNOW/oyeblikkets.jpg Boeker kilde - Øyeblikkets tyranni Rask og langsom tid i informasjonssamfunnet Aschehoug, 2001 Det er rart å tenke på at det i skrivende stund er hele 14 år siden denne boken ble skrudd sammen. Verden har både forandret seg mye og lite på denne tiden. Slik ble denne boken opprinnelig presentert: Denne forbløffende og originale bokens påstand er at langsom tid burde stå på toppen av enhver ønskeliste i informasjonssamfunnet. Her har småbarnsforeldre, boklesere, pensjonister, fagforeningsfolk, ledere og politikere en felles kampsak. Ved hjelp av spennende innfallsvinkler, tankevekkende eksempler, svimlende perspektiver og — ikke minst — originale løsningsforslag, gir boken en treffsikker diagnose av den oppjagede tiden vi lever i. Den viser sammenhengene mellom bl.a. ungdomsdyrking og såpeoperaer, e-post og konkurranseutsatthet, utbrenthet og ny teknologi. Samtidig viser den at noe er i ferd med å gå helt galt. Hvem hadde vel trodd at all den tidsbesparende teknologien — fra filofaxen til e-posten og mobiltelefonen — skulle føre til at alle fikk dårligere tid enn noensinne? Tilgjengeligheten nærmer seg hundre prosent; nå er det utilgjengeligheten vi må slåss for, retten til å tenke en tanke som er lenger enn fem centimeter. Her er litt mer fra og om Øyeblikkets tyranni. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224783828-33S2VZ51DKRJRHKKSUQN/egoisme.jpg Boeker kilde - Egoisme med Dag O. Hessen Aschehoug, 1999 Denne boken burde jo ha blitt en bestselger. Men folk kjøper stort sett bøker som gaver, og hvem vil gi bort en bok som heter "Egoisme"? ("Se her, svigermor, jeg tenkte denne var noe for deg.") Vi gjør ikke den samme feilen en gang til. Vår neste bok het På stedet løp, uten at det hjalp noe på salget. (Men bøker av denne typen selger generelt veldig mye mindre i 2014 enn de gjorde i 1999.) Bakgrunnen var denne: Lenge før denne boken var påtenkt, satt professor Dag O. Hessen (biolog, Universitetet i Oslo) og undertegnede og skrev hver vår bok om Charles Darwin, lykkelig uvitende om hverandres prosjekt. En idé, den være seg god eller dårlig, kommer sjelden alene. Det var nesten femti år siden sist noen hadde skrevet noe større om Darwin på norsk, og så kom det altså to bøker omtrent samtidig høsten 1997, nemlig Det tapte paradis (Spartacus) og Charles Darwin (Gyldendal). Dermed ble Hessen og jeg kjent, og han luftet en ny idé. Kunne det ikke være interessant om vi skrev en bok om egoisme sammen, hvor vi forsøkte å kombinere våre respektive faglige innfallsvinkler? Som sagt, så gjort. Riktignok har vi skrevet annethvert kapittel -- å skrive sammen setning for setning forekommer meg å være en umulighet (jeg har forsøkt!) -- men forhåpentligvis får leseren iallfall en følelse av at biologen kikker antropologen over skulderen mens han skriver og omvendt. Kapittelet om Hobbes og Rousseau kan leses her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550225071913-6D15BXW3W2M1RAVGQDQ9/sistedagers.jpg Boeker kilde - Siste dagers heldige Roman Aschehoug, 1999 Så var det oss, da. Som forfatter av mange slags bøker, er jeg vant til vekslende respons, både fra lesere og anmeldere. Men denne digre romanen, som jeg hadde lagt enormt mye arbeid i, fikk en mer brutal behandling enn jeg hadde forventet. Tja, den var kanskje ikke perfekt. Den hadde saktens for mye kompleksitet, av og til av den gærne typen. Men jeg mener nå fremdeles at den har sine øyeblikk og at bitene faller på plass, bare leseren tar seg tid til å gjøre sin del av jobben med å sette dem sammen. Det er en bok som gir et kaleidoskopisk perspektiv på det postmoderne Norge, men den handler også om India og hvordan vi reagerer når vi mister alt unntatt forstanden. Det er dessuten en slags hovedperson, eller gjennomgangsfigur her, som leter febrilsk etter illusjonene han begynte å miste allerede da han fikk fast jobb på Universitetet. Hvorfor heldige? Fordi de overlevde. Her ligger både et kapittel og en lenke til en tekstvev basert på Siste dagers heldige. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1551732263419-YQWFHJ8FPX27X8XMQV19/ambivalens.jpg Boeker kilde - Ambivalens og fundamentalisme Seks essays om kulturens globalisering med Oscar Hemer Spartacus, 1999 Oscar Hemer (forfatter, journalist och numera forskare) og jeg hadde hatt en lang samtale gående i en del år allerede da vi bestemte oss for å lage denne boken. Vi hadde ledet en krets i Nordisk Sommeruniversitet om globaliseringen av kulturen (sannheten er at Oscar gjorde nesten hele jobben), jeg hadde skrevet jevnlig i avisen hans (Sydsvenska Dagbladet), og kort etter bygget Oscar opp det innovative og etter hvert svært vellykkede programmet ‘Communication for Development’ ved Malmö Högskola. Denne boken er mindre akademisk enn tittelen tilsier. Kapitlene er stort sett essays skrevet av norske og svenske kulturforskere, om kulturell kompleksitet, hybriditet, identitetspolitiske reaksjoner og i siste instans hva det vil si å være moderne. En fin, liten bok, spør du meg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232170593-3WQ6Z4TFYONM6AUCKNDV/etlangt.jpg Boeker kilde - Et langt, kaldt land, nesten uten mennesker Universitetsforlaget, 1998 Nok en bok det var morsomt å skrive. Da jeg først fant formen og stemmen, gikk skrivingen av seg selv. Dette er i en viss forstand en ansvarliggjort, modnet og systematisert versjon av Typisk norsk. Bakgrunnen var at lærere rundt om i Oslo hadde registrert at minoritetsungdom i videregående skole nok kunne virke godt integrert, men at det var store deler av norsk kultur de ikke kjente til. Dermed var det behov for en bok i samfunnslære, med disse ungdommene som primær målgruppe. Antropologer er i vår tid kjent for å dekonstruere kultur, og det er ikke mulig å definere norsk kultur som en liste over særtrekk. Derimot går det an å definere den som et rom med fire vegger, men med en viss takhøyde og gulvplass. Så jeg skriver om jul og St. Hans, 17. mai, språkstriden, likestilling, individualisme og selvstendighetsidealer, hytteturer, by og land i norsk politikk, sex og russefeiring. Alt dette er gjenkjennelige fenomener; er du norsk kjenner du til dem, men det betyr ikke at du posisjonerer deg likt i forhold til dem. Boken utkom etter hvert på albansk, men den ble visst ikke noen bestselger i Tirana heller. Til gjengjeld ligger det et kapittel til fri benyttelse her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550228741917-CAR3O1ASURJEEMZM2V7N/darwin.jpg Boeker kilde - Charles Darwin Gyldendal, 1997 Det var under en samtale over noen øl med min venn, forfatteren og journalisten Peter Normann Waage, at frøet til denne boken ble sådd. Han skulle selv skrive om Dostojevskij i Gyldendals nye Ariadne-serie, og jeg spekulerte høyt over hvem jeg ville ha lyst til å skrive om, dersom anledningen bød seg. Det første navnet som nådde neocortex var Charles Darwin. Da jeg var rundt 13 år gammel, hadde jeg to store helter: Alice Cooper og Charles Darwin. Den ene har tapt seg litt med årene, mens den andre i grunnen bare har vunnet seg på noen tiårs lagring. Darwin var enkel og komplisert, arrogant og selvutslettende, genial og enfoldig. Til forskjell fra mange av sine tilhengere i dag, kjente han til sine egne begrensninger. Han visste at han ikke forsto seg på kunst og litteratur, og at han aldri ville komme til bunns i hva det var religion betydde for andre mennesker (deriblant hans kone). Samtidig var han det 19. århundrets fremste biolog, både kvantitativt (han samlet på alt biologisk, både fysisk og kognitivt) og kvalitativt (han hadde én stor idé, som fremdeles utgjør grunnfjellet i biologisk tenkning). Han er biologiens eneste superhelt, og av de store viktorianske teoriene om ‘life, the universe and everything’ (herunder marxismen og psykoanalysen), er evolusjonslæren den som har stått seg best. Her er et lite utdrag fra boken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224859505-99O90HMY761QIIHV8MGE/9788215000497_Eriksen.jpg Boeker kilde - Flerkulturell forståelse TANO Aschehoug, 1997 Det var Inger Daae-Qvale og Grete Horntvedt ved Høyskolen i Oslo (nei, jeg får meg ikke til å skrive Høgskolen) som tok initiativ til denne boken. De trengte en lærebok i flerkulturalitet, og jeg ble kontaktet som mulig redaktør. Moro det, tenkte jeg – som jeg så ofte gjør helt til jeg innser hvor stor jobben er. Men jeg fikk overtalt alle bidragsyterne jeg ønsket meg, skrev noen kapitler selv, og møtte damene for et møte underveis. Dette var jo et bestillingsverk, og høyskolen måtte kunne gi tilbakemeldinger underveis. Slik jeg husker det – og det gjør nok de også (hei, Inger og Grete) – fikk førsteutkastet hard medfart. Det ble tygget og spyttet ut igjen. Det ar altfor enkelt, overpedagogisk og pratsomt. OK, vi brettet opp ermene og ga teksten en kraftig omgang. Litt mer Foucault og Bourdieu her. Noen flere referanser til litteraturen om migrasjon der. Et komparativt blikk på Nord-Amerika (med noen sideblikk til Taylor og Kymlicka) her. Flere motforestillinger der. Og så videre. Til slutt ble det, som det heter i UD, en bok alle kunne stille seg bak. Her er innholdsfortegnelsen og kapittelet om identitet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550231489429-ME7I4945ETFYCRUGTXTF/grunntekster.jpg Boeker kilde - Sosialantropologiske grunntekster Ad Notam Gyldendal, 1996 Dette er ikke en bok. (Ceci n'est pas une pipe.) Det er ikke jeg som har valgt ut de klassiske (og nyere) artiklene som utgjør denne boken. De representerer et tverrsnitt av landets pensumlister i sosialantropologi. Hvis en artikkel befant seg på grunnfagspensum (som det het den gangen) minst to eller helst tre steder, så tok vi den med. Jeg sorterte dem tematisk, skrev kontekstualiserende forord og innledninger, og forlaget utga boken. Å lage denne tekstsamlingen var forlagets idé og ikke min, men den var ikke dårlig. Det er mye hyggeligere å ha en ordentlig bok enn en bunke kompendier. Spesielt når en tidligere student, etter en ti-tyve år utenfor Blindern, skal gå tilbake til Bohannans artikkel om økonomiske sfærer i Darfur, eller Sahlins' analyser av politiske organisasjonsformer i Polynesia og Melanesia, for å minne seg selv om hva det nå var man egentlig hadde lært den gangen. Dette er imidlertid ikke en bok, og den har heller ingen lenke på ‘Engaging with the world’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550231826046-R1IVB9ADZR66P1L9U031/verdensom.jpg Boeker kilde - Verden som møteplass Essays om tverkulturell kommunikasjon med Johannes Brinkmann Fagbokforlaget, 1996 Tanken med denne tekstsamlingen var, om jeg ikke husker feil, at den skulle gå inn i pensum på høyskoler rundt omkring. Slik gikk det ikke. Det må være markedsavdelingens feil ;-) Johannes Brinkmann er professor i sosiologi på BI, og nærmet seg feltet med en sosiologs systematiske ryddighet, mens jeg flanerte omkring og fortalte anekdoter fra fjerne strøk, historier fra antropologiske debatter om kulturbegrepet og om hvordan tradisjonelle folkeslag på mange måter sluttet å være tradisjonelle takket være alt dette som skjer og som vi enten kaller modernitet, globalisering eller noe lignende. De fleste av mine kapitler var enten publisert tidligere eller basert på obskure bokkapitler eller kronikker. Det var fint å få samlet dem på ett sted, og en av dem kan leses her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232181352-GHZCMKAMXETS5ER2A4A1/fortiden.jpg Boeker kilde - Kampen om fortiden Et essay om myter, identitet og politikk Aschehoug, 1996 Opprinnelig var det Abbe Bonnier i Stockholm som ville ha et bidrag til BonnierAlbas nye serie med essays. Jeg hadde nettopp arbeidet faglig med forholdet mellom historie og (andre) myter, og dermed var temaet gitt. Den svenske tittelen ble Historia, myt och identitet. Som Paul Ricœur skrev for mange år siden, har historiografi både et element av fakta og et element av fiksjon, eller noe kreativt om man vil. Alt har skjedd i fortiden, og hvilke historier som fortelles, avhenger av behov og ønsker i nåtiden. Ofte har historieskrivningen en moralsk dimensjon (tenk f.eks. på norsk historieskrivning om krigen og okkupasjonen) og er prinsipielt lite forskjellig fra muntlig overførte myter i så henseende. Boken ender med noen refleksjoner om pluralistisk historieskrivning. Denne boken er ikke å få kjøpt lenger, og ligger derfor i sin helhet her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232203768-4NRJZS0M3T8VH3B985NL/fiendebildet.jpg Boeker kilde - Det nye fiendebildet Cappelen, 1995 Fiendebildet som nevnes i tittelen er, jeg hadde nær sagt selvfølgelig, islam og muslimer. De er ikke uten skyld selv. Rushdie-saken, som danner opptakten til analysen, ville ha vært unngått dersom militante muslimer (som ayatollahene i Teheran) hadde vært mer tolerante overfor annerledes tenkende. Senere har konfliktene tilspisset seg, og mennesker som påberoper seg islam, og som åpenbart tilber en brutal og intolerant krigergud, bidrar til uendelig lidelse mange steder, fra Nigeria til Syria. Imidlertid er ikke ‘Vesten’ uten ansvar heller, og denne boken anbefaler en kosmopolitisk dialog (som naturligvis må gå begge veier), en demokratisering av kommunikasjonsmidlene og en større respekt for alternative livsverdener som et skritt på veien. 1990-tallet var generelt en optimistisk og åpen tid, da globaliseringen fremdeles ble forbundet med Internett, Murens fall og ulike former for berikelse. Det kom knapt noen sinte og hatefulle reaksjoner min vei da jeg utga den. I dag er situasjonen nokså annerledes. Siste kapittel kan leses her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232435946-8CW4YNRTHJDGS7EAPX71/eu.jpg Boeker kilde - Kan EU være demokratisk? Politisk identitet og legitimering i en ny tid med Tore Myhre, Janne H. Matlary og Nina Græger Ad Notam Gyldendal, 1994 De fleste jeg kjente (og kjenner) var (og er) motstandere av norsk EU-medlemskap. Jeg var derimot for, om ikke av de samme grunnene som flertallet av EU-tilhengere. Verdimessig var jeg enig med mange av motstanderne, de trakk bare feil konklusjon. Det var moro å jobbe med denne boken, og å oppdage hvor uenige det gikk an å være når man var så enige. Denne lille boken er skrevet av fire strange bedfellows -- mennesker som befinner seg på ganske forskjellige banehalvdeler med hensyn til de fleste spørsmål unntatt EU-medlemskap – her har vi en føderalist, en sosialdemokrat, en konservativ kristendemokrat og en anarkoid fritenker, i lutter harmoni mellom to permer. Dette er et samarbeid vi kan være bekjente av. Ml'erne ville ikke engang ha klart å tenke tanken. Mitt første og andre kapittel befinner seg her. Begge handler om politisk og kulturell identitet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232569922-LOYGNLXJNGUAR0HVL9WM/Kultur3.jpg Boeker kilde - Kulturforskjeller i praksis Perspektiver på det flerkulturelle Norge med Torunn Arntsen Sajjad (tidligere Sørheim) Ad Notam Gyldendal, 1994–2012 Jeg har alltid vært heldig med medforfattere og -redaktører, men neppe noen gang i større grad enn med Torunn, som jeg har skrevet og revidert denne boken sammen med i over 20 år. Jeg regner meg som en allround-antropolog, og iallfall i norsk sammenheng mangler jeg et lite, kompakt felt som jeg behersker mer enn noen andre. Jeg kan nok legge ut om dette og hint, men som regel finnes det noen som kan et spesifikt felt bedre enn meg. Torunn er derimot en spesialist; hun er medisinsk antropolog, og det er ingen som vet mer enn henne om komplekset kjønn–familie–slektskap–sykdom hos pakistansk-norske kvinner. Denne boken, skrevet med tanke på høyskolesektoren, faller derfor naturlig i to deler: En generell del om nasjonalisme, etnisitet, identitet, migrasjonshistorie og så videre, og en spesifikk del der kjønn, mat, sykdom og familie tas opp. Vi har bidratt noe til hverandres kapitler, men stort sett har arbeidsdelingen vært omtrent slik (med et par unntak ... jeg har skrevet kapittelet om språk, og Torunn har vært ansvarlig for faktadelen.) Boken har en broget og fargerik historie, ikke minst takket være illustratøren Firuz Kutal, hvis tegninger er halve moroa. Her ligger et kapittel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232506697-NCOH4S8C6DB5BDQB5BP7/veikryss.jpg Boeker kilde - Kulturelle veikryss Essays om kreolisering Universitetsforlaget, 1994 Det var vinteren 1994 at jeg oppdaget at jeg hadde et ganske stort, men spredt materiale som i grunnen handlet om det samme, nemlig veikryssene der folkeslag møter, friksjoner og berikelser oppstår og nye kulturelle former kjemper seg frem. Jeg hadde historier fra Mauritius og Trinidad som ikke egnet seg i akademisk form, notater fra et besøk i Bombay og noen tanker om internett. Samme vår tilbrakte jeg en liten uke i Brussel, denne mest europeiske og minst nasjonale av alle byer, og på denne tiden begynte vi også å tenke høyt om Internetts implikasjoner for identitet og personforståelse. Dermed ble denne boken til: en ikke-akademisk bok om en tematikk som hadde begynt å gjøre seg gjeldende i akademisk antropologi, nemlig kultur i en tid preget av økt mobilitet, hybriditet og identitetspolitikk. Her ligger lenker til et par pdf-kapitler fra Kulturelle veikryss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232809705-08QIPN26GG4Z4G38IKP0/typisk.jpg Boeker kilde - Typisk norsk Essays Huitfeldt, 1993 Denne boken ble skrevet i full fart sommeren 1993, og det ville være løgn å benekte at det var moro å skrive den. Boken er en uren hybrid mellom en introduksjon til antropologisk forskning om Norge, en satirisk dekonstruksjon av nasjonale myter, et forsvar for kulturelt mangfold og flerkulturalitet, og en samling høyst personlige og idiosynkratiske observasjoner og synspunkter om det norske samfunn. Det hele begynner med en elefanthistorie, og underveis behandles blant annet kommersialiseringen av identitet (Norge som varemerke), Abdullah fra Romsås og Marte fra Vossevangen (for ikke å snakke om Preben fra Ullern), før det uunngåelige spørsmålet stilles til slutt: Faller Dovre?

Det var Berit Berge i Universitetsforlaget som tok kontakt i 1992 og spurte om jeg ikke kunne tenke meg å skrive en innføringsbok i sosialantropologi. Jeg hadde god tid, fast jobb og likte ideen, så jeg satte i gang. Boken ble i all hovedsak skrevet høsten og vinteren 1992–93 på en Mac SE i leiligheten min i Orknøygata på Vålerenga, på sene kvelder som gled over i lange netter, med en Gauloises rullings i munnviken og en rykende kaffekopp ved tastaturet. Det var en flott tid. Boken er en ganske konvensjonell innføring i antropologi. Den foregir ikke å være original eller å presentere et nytt blikk på verdens kulturelle variasjon. Tvert imot presenterer den hovedlinjene både faghistorisk og i dag (altså i 1992–93), både tematisk, regionalt og teoretisk. Boken viste seg å slå an i mange land (den er blitt oversatt til en rekke språk), kanskje nettopp fordi den er så lite original. Originalitet er i det hele tatt oppskrytt, spesielt når den kommer fra mennesker som ikke kjenner sin egen historie og dermed risikerer å finne opp hjulet gang på gang. Et par år senere skrev jeg en forkortet engelsk utgave. Siden er boken blitt oppdatert både på engelsk og norsk to ganger, så i en viss forstand har jeg skrevet meg gjennom Små steder seks ganger. Hver gang sverger jeg på at jeg aldri skal gjøre det igjen. Men nå (sommeren 2014) ser det ut til at det blir en syvende. Ja ja, dette blir iallfall siste gang. Et lite utdrag fra første utgave ligger her. Innledning og et kapittel fra tredje utgave befinner seg her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550224692381-1FBV1WMIRG5M7GRO0S33/kulturterrorismen.jpg Boeker kilde - Kulturterrorismen Et oppgjør med tanken om kulturell renhet Spartacus, 1993 Hvis Veien til et mer eksotisk Norge (nedenfor) er et forsvar for pluralisme og kulturelle fellesskaps rett til å eksistere, er denne et forsvar for kulturell urenhet og individets selvbestemmelsesrett. Kritikken retter seg både mot dominerende nasjonalismer og minoriteter som baserer sin identitet på en kulturforståelse som er tilbakeskuende, essensialistisk og grensesettende på måter som både kan ramme utenforstående og de mange – hybridene – som havner i klemma fordi de verken er innenfor eller utenfor.

Det var på denne bakgrunn, samt lesning av andres forskning og avisdebatt i Norge, at denne boken ble til. Den er ubekymret, men ikke konfliktunnvikende i tonen. Mange ble irritert. 25 år senere ville enda flere ha blitt irritert, ettersom tilhengere av kulturelt mangfold ikke lenger bare kalles ‘naive’, men i økende grad ‘forrædere’. Boken er nå lagt ut i sin helhet her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232922463-FFZI3XX4QLW694EIZ1IO/elefanter.jpg Boeker kilde - Hvor mange hvite elefanter? Kulturdimensjonen i bistandsarbeidet Ad Notam, 1989 Denne boken ble satt sammen mens jeg arbeidet i NORADs informasjonsavdeling i 1988–89. Mitt ønske var å lage en antologi som dokumenterte betydningen av å forstå og respektere lokal kultur i bistanden. Selvfølgelig fantes en slik litteratur allerede, men bare i begrenset grad på norsk (til tross for Arne Martin Klausens pionérinnsats), og med et par unntak (oversatte tekster) bestod denne av norske originalbidrag. Et par av høydepunktene er Anders Johansens essay om tidsoppfatninger og Tord Larsens konsise ‘Bistand og kultur’. Dessverre finnes den ikke elektronisk, selv om mange av bidragsyterne leverte på nymotens floppydisk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550232969560-TE5Z0R97MPLOTECZ0KSJ/Engh.jpg Boeker kilde - Motkultur, utopi og de gode liv Futurum, 1988 En sjelden raritet!

Han var uten tvil en av verdens fremste antropologer, og vi leste bøker og artikler av ham. Dessuten var han ‘en av oss’ – han var norsk. Samtidig var han fjern: Selv om han var professor på Etnografisk museum i Oslo, underviste han knapt på Institutt for sosialantropologi. I tillegg ble Barth forbundet med en type nyttetenkning (transaksjonalisme) som mange av oss var kritiske til. Senere er det blitt stadig mer tydelig, både for meg og andre, at Barths tekster er blant de dristigste, mest originale og mest varige bidragene fra det 20. århundrets antropologi. Så da jeg fikk muligheten til å skrive hans biografi, gjorde jeg prosjektet til et påskudd både til å bli bedre kjent med mannen og til å oppdage nye sider ved hans forfatterskap, som spenner over seksti år. Her er litt mer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550217160147-30YGEFCKE9UJE95N5RR7/pa_stedet_lop_1024.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - På stedet løp Konkurransens paradokser med Dag O. Hessen Aschehoug, 2012 Over ti år hadde gått siden biologen Dag O. Hessen og jeg skrev Egoisme sammen, og da Dag tok initiativ til dette prosjektet, var jeg ikke vanskelig å be. Denne har vært fantastisk morsom å skrive. Den handler om det underlige aspektet ved konkurranse som kalles ‘red queen’ i biologien og som vi kan kalle tredemølleparadokset her, nemlig at det er nødvendig å utvikle seg kontinuerlig for å bli stående på stedet hvil. Derav tittelen.* Boken virvler opp eksempler fra produktutvikling og markedsføring, grantrær og sangfugler, binders og mobiltelefoner, og fører dem sammen i et argument som i siste instans handler vel så mye om samarbeid som om konkurranse. Til forskjell fra Egoisme, der vi skrev omtrent halvparten av kapitlene hver, har vi skrevet disse kapitlene sammen. * Det var Harald Engelstad, redaktøren i forlaget, som kom med tittelen. Mitt forslag var ‘Tredemølleparadokset’. Harald var skeptisk. Trolig med god grunn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550220316774-FSUKNWGP1N5ZUJ90ET5S/spill2.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Det som står på spill Aschehoug, 2012 I dagene og ukene etter terrorangrepet 22. juli var Norge preget av kollektivt sjokk, med nervene utenpå huden og en nummen mental tilstand. Gradvis lettet tåken, og en jeg kjenner, antydet at jeg kanskje kunne skrive noe om dette, som en bok. Nei, sa jeg umiddelbart, det er så mange andre som skriver om 22. juli, journalister og forskere som kan feltet bedre og har bedre tid enn meg. Men så endte det likevel med at jeg skrev noe, et år senere. En annen type bok. Som handler om alt terroristen Breivik prøvde å ødelegge, og som det er viktigere enn noen gang å ta vare på: Tillit. Uenighet. Respekt. Tro på at verden kan bli et bedre sted. Boken er skrevet med ungdom i tankene, men jeg mener nå likevel at den kan leses av alle. Her ligger et lite utdrag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550222110234-FH2R9ZGM8JM0FF5NA7RX/barranquilla.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Veien til Barranquilla Roman Aschehoug, 2012 Da jeg satte meg på flyet til Colombia høsten 2009, visste jeg ikke at jeg kom til å skrive en roman. Alt jeg visste, var at jeg skulle skrive noe – en bok – om den lokale virkeligheten rundt et lite, delvis norskfinansiert bistandsprosjekt kalt La Fundación Esperanza (Stiftelsen Håp), i en av Bogotás fattige bydeler. Men da jeg ble kjent med stiftelsen og menneskene i San Francisco (som er en del av Ciudad Bolívar), presset historiene seg på: om hva folk gjorde for å få endenes til å møtes, om barna som møtte søvndrukne på stiftelsen fordi de hadde plukket søppel og tomflasker hele natten, om den 16 år gamle jenta som stolt viste frem sitt nyfødte barn. Det ene tok det andre, og på flyet hjem innså jeg at jeg ikke hadde notater til en dokumentarbok, men til en fortelling om en femti år gammel sosiolog og en fjorten år gammel gategutt. Det eneste de vet at de har felles, er et brennende ønske om å komme seg til Barranquilla. Møt Simón her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219564861-CRLA7X5932RV7R1SE7FN/9788202386559.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Den globale drabantbyen Groruddalen og det nye Norge Med Sharam Alghasi og Elisabeth Eide Cappelen Damm, 2012 Groruddalen står i sentrum for samtidens brytninger omkring landets fremtid, identitet og muligheter. Denne folkerike dalen i Oslo – det bor flere i Groruddalen enn i Aust-Agder, flere enn i Stavanger – er urban, flerkulturell, moderne og i rask endring. Slik har vi ikke vært vant til å se Norge, og det er kanskje en viktig årsak til at Groruddalen trekkes inn i så mange politiske debatter, samtidig som dalen er underlig fraværende i den nasjonale selvforståelse. Alna-prosjektet, finansiert av Norges Forskningsråd i perioden 2009–2013, har reist spørsmålet om hva slags stedstilhørighet man kan utvikle på et sted som både forandrer seg fort og er kulturelt sammensatt. Denne boken formidler en del foreløpige funn fra prosjektet. Innledningen finner du her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219737146-YNYAO7QZLYNW95G1OK8U/9788203341762.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Folk Sosiologi og sosialantropologi med Marit Dalen Aschehoug 2012 I årenes løp har jeg bidratt til flere lærebøker for videregående skole (og én for ungdomsskolen), men denne er den eneste jeg har vært aktivt med på å utforme. Opprinnelig het den 2SK (den offisielle forkortelsen for sosiologi og sosialantropologi i videregående skole), og var minimalistisk og knapp ettersom boken skulle brukes parallelt med nettressurser som skulle oppdateres kontinuerlig. Ideen var god, og det fungerte sånn noenlunde. Likevel er det noe ved papirboken som ikke kan erstattes fullstendig av nettressurser, og FOLK er fyldigere enn forgjengeren. Den er også bedre. Og den har vært krevende og givende å skrive sammen med lektor Marit Dalen. Hun er vestlending, kvinne og sosiolog; jeg er østlending, mann og sosialantropolog. Vi var ikke enige om alt. Følgelig ble resultatet over dobbelt så godt som om vi skulle ha skrevet hver for oss. FOLK har sitt utmerkede nettsted, og her ligger en liten reklamefilm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550222264793-NOYPWSHWVZVGPKQERNAO/kulturellkompleksitet.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Kulturell kompleksitet i det nye Norge Unipub, 2011 Året var 2011. CULCOMs bokserie var avsluttet med seks bind. Forskningsprogrammet var også avsluttet. Det hadde vært seks fine år, men nå var det på tide å gjøre andre ting. Men noe var stadig ugjort, så jeg tok en prat med sosiologen Hans Erik Næss, som hadde vært masterstipendiat og senere seminarleder for masterstudentene våre. Vi ble enige om å sette sammen en bok med høydepunkter fra masteroppgavene. Totalt hadde 40 studenter vært tilknyttet CULCOM; rundt femten av dem bet på og bidro med et kapittel hver. Resultatet er, om jeg får si det selv, forbausende bra. Kapitlene tar blant annet opp kristen pietisme i Rogaland og metodologisk nasjonalisme i norsk sosiologi, polsk arbeidsinnvandring og sjia-islam, statsborgerskapslovgivning og tamilske tempelritualer. Det er fargesprakende og perspektivrikt, kort sagt en verdig epilog til CULCOM-eventyret. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550218880778-BWRNLHXOJ7G4M490B4AZ/14Soppel.24161.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Søppel Avfall i en verden av bivirkninger Aschehoug, 2011 Opprinnelig ville jeg at denne boken skulle hete ‘Ressurser på avveie’, men forlaget mente at det hørtes for mye ut som en informasjonsbrosjyre fra kommunen. Mulig det. Dette er fjerde bind i min løst sammensatte serie om utilsiktede bivirkninger av moderniteten, og den har tatt lang tid å skrive. Det er jo så mye søppel. Ikke blir det mindre av det heller. Sivilisasjoner begynner alltid med et hull i bakken, som innimellom dekkes til til med blader eller jord, og som flyttes rundt etter behov. Med de første byene kom behovet for et renovasjonsvesen, tidenes viktigste offentlige institusjon. Når søppeltømmingen opphører, blir samfunnet omdannet til et sykdomsinfisert, rotteinvadert, stinkende inferno i løpet av noen dager. Søppeltømmerne er som oversettere; de gjør jobben sin best når man ikke merker at de er der. Mennesker vil alltid produsere avfall. Men med litt mer fantasi og litt mindre renhetstrang, litt mer økologisk kretsløpstenkning og litt mindre politisk kortsiktighet, kan søppelproblemet avskaffes. Rolleforbildene heter Espen Askeladd og Pippi Langstrømpe.

I forlagets presentasjon står blant annet dette: "Samfunn" er en intellektuell reise gjennom dagens kulturelt komplekse Norge, hvor forfatteren underveis foreslår begreper som "kulturell osmose", "grenseflater" og "semantisk kjerne" for å fange det særegne ved det tidlige 21. århundre. Mange paradokser dukker opp underveis. Kulturen blander seg mer enn noen gang, og samtidig markeres grenser mellom grupper tydeligere enn tidligere. Globaliseringen skaper både åpenhet og tilbaketrekning. De mange variantene av det norske språket samler og splitter. Og ingen har noe fasitsvar på hva 17. mai betyr , men alle er enige om at det fremdeles er landets viktigste offentlige ritual. Samtidens viktigste praktiske ferdighet er kanskje kunsten å bygge om skuta på åpent hav. Kapittelet om kulturell osmose ligger her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219747593-Q2TSSRVSZ5JZK6GEG598/9788215013817_Eriksen.png Boeker kilde 88-07 - Globalisering Åtte nøkkelbegreper Universitetsforlaget, 2008 Dette er ganske enkelt en oversettelse av Globalization: The Key Concepts. Den boken er nå kommet i ny utgave (2014); vi får se om det blir en ny norsk utgave også. Slik begynner den: ‘Allerede det faktum at ordet ”globalisering” er blitt så populært, er et signal om at man skal være på vakt. Ordet ble knapt brukt før slutten av 1980-tallet, selv blant akademikere, men i dag kan du knapt åpne en avis uten å støte på det. Det kan lett fremstå som en moteriktig merkelapp som blir hengt på fenomener brukeren bare har de vageste ideer om. Men å gi avkall på begrepet globalisering av den grunn, og dermed betrakte fenomenene det beskriver med skepsis og vantro, ville være tåpelig.’ Her ligger første kapittel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1550219562259-6FOISELAO7N0F50C4MHW/9788203292309.jpg Boeker kilde 88-07 - Storeulvsyndromet Jakten på lykken i overflodssamfunnet Aschehoug, 2008 Tredje bind i serien om utilsiktede bivirkninger av moderniteten. Denne gang: Lykken. Ja, vi har det bra i dette privilegerte hjørnet av verden. Ja, vi har høy livskvalitet. Men får vi det bedre av enda mer overflod? Eller er det snarere slik at ‘vi har alt, men det er også alt vi har’? Eller kanskje det kan sies slik: Spørsmål: Hva er felles for barnebursdager, fisketurer, jernbanebygging, matpakkelunsjer, fotballkamper, fotturer i myrterreng, strandliv, online-poker, flotte biler, plastisk kirurgi, dugnader, strikkhopping, påfuglens fjær, gulrotspising, yin og yang, druedyrking og regnet før det faller? Svar: Alt har noe med livskvalitet å gjøre, og alt er omtalt i Storeulvsyndromet, en invitasjon til dialog om det gode liv etter at vi har lagt overflodssamfunnet – historiens største blindspor – bak oss.

This brilliant talk from renowned Norwegian social anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen will give you food for thought, and a perfect excuse to slow down for 10 minutes. Thomas Hylland Eriksen is a social anthropologist and author of Overheating: An Anthropology of Accelerated Change (2016). Thomas is currently a Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and has authored textbooks, academic monographs, polemical interventions, popular science, biographies and novels in both English and Norwegian. Born from his long-standing interest in the unintentional consequences of modernity, is a series of four books focusing on information technology, identity, happiness and waste. Thomas recently completed a five-year research project which shows how global change has accelerated in many domains, from coal exports to photography and from finance to identity politics; leading to dangerous ‘overheating effects’ and a need to slow down, or ‘cool down’ worldwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

He said everyone should get 'a fair shot', do 'their fair share' and play by 'the same set of rules'. Such fairness, such equality, was a matter beyond politics ('not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values'), something without which the very fabric of society was at risk. In the UK, too, Prime Minister David Cameron has railed against 'the incredible inequality of the modern world'. Economic debates are dominated by the spectre of dangerous inequalities. From Richard Layard's economics of happiness, with its focus on relative income and the 'paradox of prosperity', to the fashionable endorsement of The Spirit Level, a bestselling book by academics much cited by politicians of all parties, to the Occupy movement, it has become an orthodoxy that unequal societies do worse in education, mental health and social cohesion. The moral force of demands to lessen economic inequality seems to derive from the historically progressive demands for political equality. Who can object to that call for equal rights, whereby groups oppressed because of their gender, race or sexuality fought for their democratic rights? But does the fairness agenda really stand in the tradition of anti-slavery, civil rights and women's suffrage? Is demanding regulation of bankers' pay or calling for a mansion tax of the same order as the fight against Apartheid or the decriminalisation of homosexuality? Or are we in danger of confusing what we mean by equality by conflating the economic with the political? The origin of the modern idea that 'All men are created equal' lies in Thomas Jefferson's 'immortal declaration' in which equality was inalienably linked to liberty as a rebuttal against authoritarian rule. And yet demands for more equality can be used against individual freedom, religious freedom, free enterprise. Equal rights for minority groups may be progressive, but what about contemporary equal opportunity policies, such as quotas, that emphasise equality of outcomes? Talent is not equally distributed: some of us are fast, some bright, some musical. Some are not. That might not be 'fair', but there it is: we are not all born the same. Is it fair to discriminate and handicap to level the playing field? Or does such affirmative action come at too high a price in personal freedom? Do we really want economic redistribution to the level that we all have the same? Is the importance of equality more in allowing us to be different or in allowing us to be the same? What has equality come to mean today? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1548418792057-N0Y8WUW37YWL09JNROE9/image-asset.jpeg Video kilde - Ernest Gellner and contemporary multiculturalism. By: Thomas Hylland-Eriksen Professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo, Norway, presents that for a politically engaged social theorist, Ernest Gellner was surprisingly uninterested in analysing the contemporary identity politics arising from migration into the West. In several of his books and essays there are hints about his attitudes to multiculturalism and the new cultural configurations, but he never began to analyse the impact of migration on European political identities. However, many of Gellner's writings provide ideas and facts which are clearly relevant for such an enterprise. His views on liberalism and romanticism, his work on the collapse of empires and the rise of nationalism, and perhaps most notably his writings about the societal foundations of ideology, offer rich and challenging input to any discussion of cultural pluralism and national (or post-national?) identities. The paper will amount to an analysis of contemporary dynamics of cultural identity in selected European societies, taking its analytic cues from Gellner's work. This video was recorded during the “Social and Political Relevance of Gellner's Thought Today” conference organised by Dr Sinisa Malesevic and Dr Mark Haugaard, Dept of Political Science and Sociology, in the National University of Ireland, Galway. This conference was held on 21-22 May 2005. Organised at the eve of the 10th anniversary of Gellner’s death, it brought together some of the world’s most prominent social scientists whose own work, in one way or another, is indebted to the legacy of Ernest Gellner (1925-1995).

It’s too full, too fast and developments are uneven and unequal. Everything takes place faster and change is more comprehensive than ever before. “It’s globalisation, but not as we know it!” Leading Norwegian anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen discusses accelerated change and its long-term implications for us, while dissecting the three major crisis of globalisation – economy, climate, and identity. Is there any alternative to this great acceleration? Can we live slower? Can we get out of the corner into which we have painted ourselves? There is no simple answer, and yet tackling the unintentional side effects of modernity is the single most important question of our times.

I call this process overheatingh: it is a runaway growth process without a thermostat or regulator. What are the implications of this accelerated growth for belonging, identification and modes of inclusion and exclusion in complex societies? Generating heat creates frictions – which are the main frictions in contemporary societies, how have they emerged, and how can they best be understood? The lecture will take on familiar examples such as Brexit, the so-called refugee crisis and the election of the Twitter president, but it will also look for global patterns by hinting at similar overheating effects elsewhere in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c03b76b96e76fd25bee32fe/1548419024025-24G32KO9PIS5SO4R843M/image-asset.jpeg Video kilde - Thomas Hylland Eriksen og historien om Origamijenta -- TRAILER «Thomas Hylland Eriksen og historien om Origamijenta» er en 50 minutter lang norsk film, regissert av Dag Johan Haugerud («Som du ser meg»).
