Abstract

Abstract:

This article examines the ethnographic portrayal of the Sámi in the nineteenth-century European illustrated press, focusing on travel reports about Sápmi (Norway) from 1860 to 1900. It analyses how touristic depictions of Indigenous peoples reflected popular interest and prevalent racial discourses of the time. Often disguised as objective narratives of scientific observation and exploration, these representations, produced and circulated by esteemed explorers, photographers, and publishers, served to reinforce Western colonial structures and imperialist ideologies. Inviting a turn inwards, this essay draws attention to the existence of domestic colonies within Europe and underlines how the same rhetoric was redeployed to justify these internal colonies.

有争议的边界:1860-1900 年欧洲殖民地旅行的视觉表征
摘要:本文研究了十九世纪欧洲插图报刊对萨米人的人种学描绘,重点是1860年至1900年有关萨米(挪威)的旅游报道。报告分析了对土著民族的旅游描绘如何反映了当时的大众兴趣和流行的种族话语。这些由受人尊敬的探险家、摄影师和出版商制作和发行的作品往往伪装成科学观察和探索的客观叙述,起到了强化西方殖民结构和帝国主义意识形态的作用。这篇文章将目光转向内部,提请人们注意欧洲国内殖民地的存在,并强调同样的言论是如何被重新用来为这些国内殖民地辩护的。
