"Basehopping –
nasjonale selvbilder – sublime opplevelser" er prisbelønnet og publisert i
Norsk antropologisk tidsskrift, 1-2, 2004. English summary: Having followed Norwegian base-jumpers during several seasons I appraise the
phenomenon as a form of cultural reorientation in relation to Norwegian discourses of nature.
The discourses are inspired by I. Kant’s theory of aesthetics presuming that
the experience of physical grandeur in landscapes has a paradoxical character: both repulsive and attractive at one and the
same time, which Kant calls ”sublime experiences”. An intersting issue is whether
this relatively abstract understanding can be applied to the to the base-jumpers intense experiences of nature during the free
fall sequences og the activity. According to S. Lyng, high risk-behavior, or ”edge-work”, involves
negotiating the boundary between order and chaos related to activities clearly threatening one’s physical or mental
well-being or sense of an ordered existense. I interpret the base-myth ”personal control” as an edge-work strategy by which
to underestimate high risks. |
