View through CrossRef

By exploring the stories and images that are the focus of the spiritual entrepreneur Esther Utsi, I elaborate how, in the wake of Sámi shamanism, a variety of hybrid products have been established, catering for broader audiences and for a variety of needs, including tourism, entertainment, and regional development.
