Ongoing call for papers

25.6.202025.6.2020 by Attila Paksi

The Sámi Language and Culture Research Association Dutkansearvi invites you to write scientific articles on various themes. Articles are compiled by thematic issue and published as they are completed. Possible research areas and themes include the following topics:

Indigenous research
Linguistics
Sociolinguistics and language contacts
Teaching (we are currently looking for papers for this issue!)
Indigenous ethics
Revitalization of Sámi languages
Sámi language history

In addition to this, you can also propose a new thematic issue or a theme related to Sámi life, languages, culture, history or other aspects of life and community.

Instructions for the format of the articles can be found on our website. Articles will be submitted for peer review. Please note that for teaching articles in particular, there is a separate ongoing writing invitation on our website which explains in more detail what kind of articles and blogs we are looking for.

In addition to scientific articles, we invite people to write blog posts in Sámi. Blog posts can be more informal than scholarly articles and are not submitted for peer review. Blogs are welcome to use visual material for which the author has the necessary rights. Right now, we are especially looking for blog posts about teaching in Sápmi.

Call for papers – Special Issue of Dutkansearvi Dieđalaš Áigečála – Searvedoibma: Art and Social Communities in Sápmi (15.01.2022)

In recent years Sámi art and aesthetics have been invited into majority contexts in hitherto unprecedented ways – from international exhibitions such as documenta 14 in Kassel in 2017 to the Sámi Pavilion at the forthcoming Venice Biennial in 2022. While Sámi art has gained new visibility internationally, this has not necessarily meant that the conditions for making, producing and exhibiting Sámi art and aesthetics in Sápmi on Sámi premises have been strengthened. There are still few Sami-oriented art institutions, and there is still no Sámi art museum. Yet, while formal art institutions are scarce, cultural festivals in Sápmi have long functioned as an important artistic, social and economic infrastructure for the development of the transnational field of Sámi art.
