Fishing

Allt frá landnámi hafa fiskveiðar verið mikilvægasta atvinnugrein þjóðarinnar og fyrr á öldum sóttu erlendar þjóðir stíft á miðin kringum Ísland. Baskar stunduðu hér hvalveiðar, Frakkar voru hér langdvölum og Norðmenn reistu hér bæði hvalstöðvar og síldarverksmiður, auk þess að stunda hér línuveiðar. Ísland var miðstöð hval- og síldveiða og erlendir sjó- og kaupsýslumenn settu sín spor í íslenska menningu, tækniframfarir og atvinnuhætti. Víða um land er að finna minjar um horfna tíð, spor í söguna sem eru verðmæti á heimsmælikvarða.


Tækniframfarir hafa verið miklar, frá útgerð á litlum árabátum til verksmiðjutogara og vinnsla í landi hefur sömuleiðis tekið miklum stakkaskiptum. Þekkingin hefur breyst sem og mannlífið og menningin.



The last move forward

gisli_sidasti_rodurinnÍ grein sem birtist í Sjómannadagsblaði Vestmannaeyja árið 2001 fjallaði Gísli Pálsson um áhrif sjóslysa sem "hvíldu á árum áður eins og þungur skuggi yfir flestum sjávarplássum við Norður-Atlantshaf". Með föður sínum rifjar Gísli upp atburði í tengslum við Gand NK sem fórst haustið 1942 og Langanes NK sem sökk við Eyjar árið 1959 og þau áhrif sem þessir atburðir tveir höfðu á þá sem þeim tengdust með einum eða öðrum hætti. "Hafið heggur sín skörð, tortímir og sundrar vinum og fjölskyldum, en það er jafnframt skapandi þáttur í mannheimi sem tengir fólk nánum böndum, oft með óvæntum hætti."

Contested commodities: the moral landscape of modernist regimes

gisli_commoditizationIn their article Gísli Pálsson and Agnar Helgason discuss cross-cultural parallels in moral debate about the expansion of market relations to new areas of social life, with particular reference to their ethnographic work on the commoditization of resource rights in Iceland. Expanding a theoretical approach introduced by other scholars, they propose that spatial metaphors can provide an effective means of conceptualizing the anthropological study of commoditization.
