“…As has been demonstrated in other cultural contexts (To, 2015), lingering experiences of the national repression of the Sámi culture and language did not remain only with the post-war generation that had direct experience of assimilation politics; those experiences continue to scar and haunt the next generation, who live their adulthood in the twenty first-century. The next section aims to demonstrate how this occurred through inter-generationally transmitted affective practices in Tuija's childhood.…”

In this chapter we explore how affective energies are transmitted not only intersubjectively, but also intergenerationally and through material objects. This is done by looking at how a lecture, which turned unprecedentedly painful for the lecturer (Tuija, a Sàmi descendant woman, 1st author) opened an unprecedented window to her childhood experiences in a rural northern Sàmi community in Finland. This chapter explores the ‘transversal flashes’ (Guattari 1995, 93) where affect jumps across time-space domains, created by experience in a complex network of shifting discursive-material forces that Karen Barad (2007) calls ‘apparatuses’. In this apparatus, objects, animals, utterances, institutional and recreational bodies, human body parts, and atmospheres among a myriad other fragments pulse and vibrate. We analyse how these vibrations link to the lecturer’s personal history coloured by gender violence as well as Sámi families’ traumatic past.
