Saami and Scandinavians
Aspects of more than 2000 years contact
Symposium, October 24­26, 2003
Nordeuropa-Institut, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Saami­Scandinavian contacts have long been an attractive field of
study. The results of the contacts have often been examined only with
respect to the impact on the culture and society of the Saami minority,
back­pushed to the northern edge of Scandinavia. However, some scholars
consider a quite different picture, namely that of Saami neighbours
which had played a much more active role in the Scandinavian society at
least until the Middle Ages. Another contentious topic in today's
research is the original southern border of the Saami population.
The symposium aims at exploring these and other questions from an
interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions from, among others,
historians, anthropologists and linguists can complement one another
and give a differentiated picture of the Saami­Scandinavian contact
history.

The symposium will take place at the university's main building, Unter
den Linden 6, room 2103.
