A large-scale meeting of Nordic and Russian historians, philologists and archaeologists in the Arctic Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)The history of Russia and Norway and their areas in the Arctic and Russian-Norwegian relations are traditionally important for the residents of both states.

Mo birget soadis (how to cope with war) Adaptation and resistance in Sámi relations to Germans in wartime Sápmi, Norway and Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-09)The article studies the Sámi experiences during the ‘German era’ in Norway and Finland, 1940–1944, before the Lapland War. The Germans ruled as occupiers in Norway, but had no jurisdiction over the civilians in Finland, their brothers-in-arms.

Trollkvinnen som fiendebilde
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08)På 1500- og 1600-tallet ble rettsforfulgte trollkvinner brent på bål i Nord-Europa. Tankegods fra en lærd doktrine kalt demonologi hadde betydning for forestillingen om trollkvinnen som en farlig fiende. I denne artikkelen vil jeg undersøke hvordan den demonologiske kontstruksjonen av trolldom kommer fram under rettssaker mot de som angivelig skulle ha utført den. -

Situated transformations of women and gender relations in small-scale fisheries and communities in a globalized world
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-19)The need to uncover, interrogate, and integrate women’s contributions to fisheries in research and development has never been clearer. As coastal and fisheries management continues to look to the Sustainable Development Goals and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, as frameworks and mandates, gender equity ... -
Women fishers in Norway: few, but significant
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-05)Professional fishing and fisheries quota systems can affect women and men differently, yet gender analysis of quota systems is rare. In this article, we use a feminist framing and a mixed methods approach to examine the long-term gendered effects of the introduction of the 1990 quota system in Norway. Using statistics from the National Fishery Registry and the Directorate of Fisheries, we found that ... -
Why do we read illness stories? Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air (2016) read in the light of Rita Felski
(Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Why do we read pathographies and why have they become so popular? These are the key questions in our paper. In answering these, we will introduce and discuss Rita Felski’s The Uses of Literature (2008) in connection to the American bestseller and Pulitzer prize finalist pathography When Breath Becomes Air (2016) by Paul Kalanithi. We chose Kalanithi’s book because we consider it in many ways typical ... -
Beyond Presentism: Heritage and the Temporality of Things
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-27)Heritage is often seen as a symptom of a temporally disjointed and all-pervasive present which shapes the pasts it requires to make up for the failures of linear, modern and progressive history. As a consequence, the pasts in heritage are often regarded as the result of unidirectional processes of attributing value to largely compliant materials. This article explores the constitutive role of materials ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-28)The present paper discusses a possible correlation between the placement of pronominal objects with non-nominal antecedents in Norwegian, and the use of the pronouns <i>es</i> ‘it’ and <i>das</i> ‘that’ in German. For Norwegian object shift (OS), it has been shown that while pronominal objects with non-nominal antecedents generally do not shift, this is not the case when these elements take on the ... -
Suits’ Utopia and Human Sports
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-24)In this article, I consider Bernard Suits’ Utopia where the denizens supposedly fill their days playing Utopian sports, with regard to the relevance of the thought experiment for understanding the sports we currently play and have played. I argue that the thought experiment is irrelevant for understanding our current and past sports, i.e. human sports. I identify two views on games and sports in ... -

Indigenising Education: Scales, Interfaces and Acts of Citizenship in Sápmi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)As Indigenous people reclaim their position after centuries of oppression, the tensions between Indigenous needs and national demands surface.

In this process, the educational system is the institution ... -

This has been discussed in the literature. During these days of flipped classroom instruction, an at-home activity could be especially valuable. I will describe an experiment with very simple equipment that students could do on their ... -
Living with illness Together and alone facing severe illness in four Scandinavian cancer stories
(Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this paper, I wish to discuss how people living with severe illness at home depict their lives either in a family setting or alone. Roland Barthes writes in Comment vivre ensemble (1977) about individual life lived in a variety of collective situations in different settings, and calls this idiorrhythmia. One of the settings Barthes studies is the sanatorium, where the figures of Autarky ... -
