Sammanfattning
In this paper we discuss wildfire from the perspective of mapping and boundary-making. How we understand loss induced by wildfire is closely related to landscape practices and perspectives. But not all practices and rights-bearers are recognized in wildfire management. Drawing on a major fire event in Sweden in 2018, we contrast the official reports of the forest fire with a narrative-based account from affected S & aacute;mi reindeer herding communities. Our study broadens the conception of how to map and understand the impacts of wildfire and contributes novel empirical findings on how reindeer herders perceive and navigate these emerging fire landscapes. We illustrate stark differences in how fire boundaries, both temporal and spatial, are understood and recognized depending on landscape perspective and practice. Our study calls for reconsidering Swedish wildfire and landscape management so that it can become more inclusive of multiple perspectives of human-landscape relations and values.
