REL-1002: Arctic/Sami/North Norwegian History of Religion Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
Compulsory subject for students on the bachelor programme in Religious Studies. | Contents
The course is orientated towards the Arctic environment and focuses on the ways in which religious traditions have developed in the culture and society of the northern environment. In ancient times, Sami religion developed in a shamanistic form, in which the noaide and the drum were mediators between the people and sources of power. The course will provide an understanding of a chamanistic way of life in the Sami community before and whilst encountering the Christian religion. The North Norwegian identity is characterized by cultural and religious pluralism, and the region has been a meeting-place for several cultures: Sami, Kven, Norwegian and Russian. The course covers the main historical and cultural features of religious history in the north. Læstadianism as a regional culture has an important place in the curriculum. | Form of teaching
