TRADER OF TRADITIONS
Johan Adrian Jacobsen as collector of people and things

Cathrine Baglo (Ed.)

This collection of essays is based on a workshop Cathrine Baglo organized in Tromsø in June 2016 as a part of her post-doctoral project “Between worlds and knowledges: The liminal life of Johan Adrian Jacobsen” (2015–2018). The project was funded by the Norwegian Research Council, and the workshop took place at The Arctic University Museum of Norway (UMAK) and was followed by an excursion to Risøya, the small island outside Tromsø where Johan Adrian Jacobsen grew up. In addition to the contributors’ research, the volume builds on Baglo’s finds and experiences from curating the exhibition “Storm and Still: The Ethnographic Enterprises of Adrian Jacobsen” at the Polar Museum (also UMAK) in Tromsø in the summer of 2018, with colleagues and the artist Noah Angell.1 The American historian Glenn Penny was also invited to the Jacobsen workshop. He originally wrote an epilogue to this volume as it was finished before the opening of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin in 2021.
