Wholesale Sámi Religion: Religious Identities, Practices and Dynamics - Hardcover

by Trude A. Fonneland (Guest Editor), Tiina Äikäs (Guest Editor) "S mi Religion: Religious Identities, Practices, and Dynamics" explores expressions of ''S mi religion'' in contemporary cultures, the role it plays in identity politics and heritagization processes, and the ways the past and present are entangled. In recent years, attitudes towards ''S mi religion'' have changed both within religious, cultural, political, and educational contexts as a consequence of what can be called the ''Indigenous turn''. Contemporary, indigenous religion is approached as a something that adds value by a range of diverse actors and for a variety of reasons. In this Special Issue, we take account of emic categories and connections, focusing on which notions of ''S mi religion'' are used today by religious entrepreneurs and others who share and promote these types of spiritual beliefs, and how S mi religion is taking shape on a plenitude of arenas in contemporary society.
