| Popis: | This article presents a critical examination of Sami/Finn encounters in Lapland as depicted in poetry and oral tradition during the past decade. Utilizing a background created by feminist discourse this analysis extends the discussion of cultural encounters from a theoretical discussion into the more versatile world experienced by the local people, both Sami and Finn. I approach the topic from the conceptual construct of anthropology, employing Tim Ingold's ap- proach toward the "ecology of life" and Michael Jackson's methodology of radical empiricism. The encounters described here can be examined on two different levels—on one hand I discuss stories of the encounters between Sami people and Finns, on the other hand the encounters be- tween Sami researchers and Finnish researchers as they interact on levels of analytical research. |
