Join us on November 4 for a talk with ASF Visiting Lecturer Silje Solheim Karlsen on identity in contemporary Sámi literature! In Norwegian/Sámi author Kathrine Nedrejord’s critically acclaimed novel The Sámi Problem (2024), we meet Marie, who has long hidden her Sámi identity. Through an intense journey in both history and geography, the novel explores what it means to be Sámi – and what it means to be a woman. Dr. Karlsen’s lecture will focus on Nedrejord’s novel, and particularly address existential questions surrounding the process of finding and acknowledging one’s identity.
