Bonde og borgerkrig - Lokalkonflikter og de norske innbyrdesstridene
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Historians have traditionally treated peasant unrest in late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Norway as part of a wider challenge to royal authority, as kings struggled to suppress political adversaries and rival claimants to the throne. This article seeks to shed greater light on this assumed correlation by analysing changing patterns of peasant mobilization. To do so, it proposes a terminological ... -
Born Dead or Alive? Revisiting the Definition of Stillbirths in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-31)Since 1947 there has been a common understanding among Norwegian historians and demographers that stillbirths registered in the country prior to 1839 included infants who were born alive but died within 24 hours. This paper shows that a revision of this definition is necessary. During the first half of the 19th century, several memoranda, revisions and circulars were distributed by the Danish-Norwegian ... -
Brodtkorbneset and Steintjørna: Two Hearth-Row Sites in Pasvik, Arctic Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)During the Viking Age and the early medieval period, hearth row sites became a distinct feature of Sámi settlements over the vast interior region of northern Fennoscandia. Consisting of large, rectangular hearths organized in a linear pattern, these sites represent a new way of organizing domestic space and also reflect new environmental preferences. In this paper, the author gives an overview ... -
Buried in between: Re-interpreting the Skjoldehamn Medieval Bog Burial of Arctic Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-17)THE 11TH-CENTURY SKJOLDEHAMN GRAVE is a remarkable accidental find, discovered in a bog in coastal Arctic Norway in 1936. The grave consisted of a fully clothed skeleton wrapped in a wool blanket, lashed with leather straps and tin ring-ornamented woven bands. The body was laid on a reindeer pelt, which in turn was placed on sticks of birch. Finally, the body was covered with birch bark, and potentially ... -
Buying and Borrowing Books: Book Consumption In Late Nineteenth-Century Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-09)Who read what in the late nineteenth century Swedish society? What books were available in the bookshops and the libraries, and what books were the most popular? This study aims to offer preliminary answers to questions like these, based on sales’ and borrowers’ ledgers from three of the most common types of literary institutions of the time; a parish library, a bookshop, and a commercial lending ... -
Byggeskikken i middelalderens Nord-Norge : fra bruk av torv, jord, og stein som byggematerialer til trehuset
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06)Byggeskikken i Nord-Norge i middelalderen var dominert fram til 1500- og 1600-tallet av jord, torv og stein som byggematerialer. Jeg argumenterer for at trehuset har vært i bruk i Nord-Norge alt i tidlig- og høymiddelalder, men i en begrenset grad. Diskuterer også om de stratigrafiske lagenes tykkelse kan si noe om hvilke byggematerialer som er brukt. -
Børre Knudsens teologi mellom mystikk og kirkekamp
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-22)Denne oppgaven belyser Børre Knudsens teologi ved hjelp av to teologiske tradisjoner. Den ene er den kristne mystikken, og da særlig den lutherske mystikken. I mystikken er det det enkelte menneskes forening med Gud som kommer i fokus, samt erfaringen av denne foreningen, som i luthersk mystikk har sin grunnkategori i ydmykelsen/anfektelsen. Særlig viktig for å kunne plassere Knudsen i mystikken ... -
Caring for the dead? An alternative perspective on Sámi reburial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-29)This article is an effort to critically discuss Sámi repatriation and reburial practice based on the analysis of five repatriation cases. Since the seminal repatriation (and burial) of the skulls of Somby and Hætta in Gávvuonna/Kåfjord in 1997, and the more recent reburial of 94 skeletons in Njauddâm/Neiden in 2011, a precedent seems established in Norway that allows the unconditional reburial of ... -
De Charybdi Septentrionali : kontinuitet og endring i forestillinger om Moskstraumen fra 1539 til omkring 1900
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05-15)Denne oppgaven omhandler Nord-Norges mest kjente naturfenomen i middelalderen; Moskstraumen. Her ser jeg på forestillinger om strømmen fra 1539 til omtrent 1900, og drøfter hvorfor og hvordan disse oppsto. Forestillingene gikk fra å være et havsvelg, til en malstrøm og til den tidevannstrømmen fenomenet er i dag. Norden var på 1500-tallet ukjent for det lærde Europa. Dermed ble de første ... -
Cinaedus: Seksualmoral i seinrepublikken og tidlig keisertid
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-11-27)Avhandlinga søker å finne svar på spørsmålet «Hvordan endret romernes syn på seksualitet seg i løpet av den tidlige keisertida, fra seinrepublikken til de første århundrene av prinsipatet?» ved å studere lovarbeid og litteratur i den aktuelle perioden og om vi kan se tendenser til endring i disse. Bakgrunnen for dette spørsmålet, ligger i keiser Augustus’ morallover «lēx Iūlia dē marītandīs ōrdinibus» ... -
Climatic changes cause synchronous population dynamics and adaptive strategies among coastal hunter-gatherers in Holocene northern Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)Synchronized demographic and behavioral patterns among distinct populations is a well-known, natural phenomenon. Intriguingly, similar patterns of synchrony occur among prehistoric human populations. However, the drivers of synchronous human ecodynamics are not well understood. Addressing this issue, we review the role of environmental variability in causing human demographic and adaptive responses. ... -
The cold consequences of war - An investigation into the effects of the Ukraine war on Russia's Arctic strategy
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-12-20)This thesis examines how the ongoing war in Ukraine has affected Russia’s activities in the Arctic and to what extent these effects have caused Moscow to deviate from its official Arctic strategy, policies and activities. For centuries, the Arctic has played a visible role in Russian history. It has gone from being the land of opportunity and exploration during the Tsarist period, to constituting ... -

Constructive forgetting and reconciliatory memory in nineteenth-century historical fiction A comparative perspective on Scandinavianism, pan-Germanism and Greater Netherlandism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-06-30)This chapter studies how far the reconciliation of a troublesome shared past through historical fiction can be considered a general characteristic of pan-national movements in nineteenth-century Europe. A cross-case analysis shows that this praxis was most widespread and most intricately developed in Scandinavianism, while it to a lesser degree also left its mark on pan-Germanism as expressed through ... -
Contrasting patterns of prehistoric human diet and subsistence in northernmost Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-18)Current archaeological evidence indicates the transition from hunting-fishing-gathering to agriculture in Northern Europe was a gradual process. This transition was especially complex in the prehistoric North Fennoscandian landscape where the high latitude posed a challenge to both domestic animal breeding and cereal cultivation. The conditions varied, the coastal dwellers had access to rich marine ... -
Convergent catastrophes and the termination of the Arctic Norwegian Stone Age: A multi-proxy assessment of the demographic and adaptive responses of mid-Holocene collectors to biophysical forcing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)Using multiple archeological and paleoenvironmental proxies, this paper makes the case for a climate-induced convergent catastrophe among the human population of terminal Stone Age Arctic Norway. We show that climatic changes correlate with the termination of the so-called Gressbakken phase (4200–3500 cal BP), and unpack the middle-range mechanisms linking the Gressbakken termination to contemporaneous ... -

Da Lucifer kom til Vardøhus. En undersøkelse av demonologiske idéers utbredelse i Finnmark i forhold til resten av landet
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-11-01)På 1500- og 1600-tallet bredte det seg en storstilt trolldomsforfølgelse gjennom Europa. I overkant av 100 000 mennesker - majoriteten kvinner - ble formelt anklaget for å være trollfolk, og rundt 50 000 mistet livet på grunn av det. Norge var intet unntak og vi kjenner til minst 767 prosesser med 300 dødsfall til følge. Spesielt Finnmark ble hardt rammet, der hele 138 prosesser førte til 91 dødsfall. ... -

“Danger to Self or Others?” Internment of women with sexually transmitted infections during and after World War II in Norway.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-13)This thesis is primarily concerned with the representation of women with sexual transmitted infections (STI) who were incarcerated in internment camps (Polizeihaftlager) during and right after the German occupation of Norway. There is little previous research on this specific prisoner category, the available sources are scarce and those who are available differ in its consistency and type. The overall ...
