ABSTRACT
This chapter engages with and makes explicit some complexities that arose for one of the authors, being a silversmith from Vinje on the outskirts of Rjukan and Notodden, when she was invited to create a jewellery collection for the World Heritage site. Some narratives about the making of site are made dominant in a bigger picture, and this chapter is about uncovering some of the forgotten narratives. Based on a methodology inspired by Donna Haraway and Karen Barad, the chapter moves in and out of time and place, spinning narratives that use silver as material for meaning-making. From this approach, new multivocal narratives are spun about traditional craft, where living in and of this area can be considered a subjectively and constantly transformative activity, where none has more or a better right to feel ownership of the land or to write the one right story. The chapter concludes that it is possible to see the making of this World Heritage site in a way where not one story is highlighted over another. The site itself, then, becomes a phenomenon in constant flux.
