Abstract
The South Sámi concept of dåajmijes vuekie is used to discuss a nuanced system of evaluative norms operating in Sámi culture, past and present, in relation to objects, behavior, and activities. Where Western aesthetics may focus on surface appearance, dåajmijes vuekie emphasizes effective action in relation to practical needs, social interaction, and ethics. The authors suggest that evaluative norms associated with Sámi traditional knowledge and activities can provide valuable insights for understanding not only Sámi traditional life but also works of contemporary Sámi artists and writers who draw on Sámi cultural norms in conscious ways.
Keywords:
- Sámi,
- aesthetics,
- traditional knowledge,
- Indigenous literature
Résumé
Le concept sami du sud de dåajmijes vuekie est utilisé pour discuter d’un système nuancé de norms d’évaluation opérant dans la culture samie, passée et present, en relation avec les objets, le comportement et les activités. Là où l’esthétique occidentale peut se concentrer sur l’apparence de surface, dåajmijes vuekie met l’accent sur l’action efficace en relation avec les besoins pratiques, l’interaction sociale, et l’éthique. Les auteurs suggèrent que les normes d’évaluation associées aux connaissances et aux activités traditionnelles samies peuvent fournir des informations précieuses pour comprendre non seulement la vie traditionnelle samie, mais aussi les œuvres d’artistes et d’écrivains samis contemporains qui s’inspirent des normes culturelles samies de manière consciente.
