Course 7.5 credits • SASH94
The course focuses on the Scandinavian colonial expansion from 1600 to the early
20th century. Based on a number of case studies (e.g. resource colonialism in Sápmi
and Greenland, plantations in the Danish West Indies, trade and consumption of
colonial products), the course examines colonial discourses and practice and notice
relationships between colonialism and resources/environment, economics, power,
resistance and science and colonial inheritance. The course also explores the different
cultural processes, such as creolisation, othering and ambivalence that takes place in
colonial environments and manifests itself in material culture. The course introduces
theoretical procedures for historical-archaeological studies of colonialism and presents
different sources, methods and perspectives and central research questions.
