The book tells the story of a girl who is abducted by the Stallo, an Ogre well known in Sami lore.

Using the concept of natureculture developed by Donna Haraway (2003), the article investigates the book’s portrayal of landscapes, climate/seasons, vegetation, animals and humans.

One of the aspects discussed in the article is the role of the Stallo figure as a threatening force within natureculture, or as an external threat. publishedVersion Article in Journal/Newspaper sami OsloMet (Oslo Metropolitan University): ODA (Open Digital Archive) Barnelitterært forskningstidsskrift 11 01 1 13 |
