• The Gendering of Infectious Disease: Classifying Male and Female Causes of Death in the Netherlands and Norway, 1880–1910 

      Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny; Walhout, Evelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-25)
      This article explores sex and gender patterns in mortality, based on individual-level causes of death (CODs) in two urban communities, obtained from civil and parish registers. By analysing CODs for the period 1880–1910 for Roosendaal (Netherlands) and Trondheim (Norway) we investigate how notions of sex and gender were reflected in cause-specific mortality rates for adults and in the registration ...
    • Gengangere var i virkeligheden en bestseller 

      Purtoft, Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-09)
      Henrik Ibsens <i>Gengangere</i> fik en barsk modtagelse i pressen, da skuespillet udkom i december 1881. I dag bliver det gerne brugt som eksempel på samtidens manglende forståelse for forfatteren, og bogen bliver beskrevet som en salgsfiasko og anses som en af undtagelserne i Ibsens ellers så populære forfatterskab. Denne artikel argumenterer for, at litteraturhistoriens og receptionshistoriens ...

    • German and Austrian occupant literature on the Sami in Norway and Lapland – “Harmless” minority, a resource, and well-off “reindeer kings” 

      Nyyssönen, Jukka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In previous research on the history of the Second World War in Finland and Norway, relations between the German and Austrian occupying forces and the Sami people have generally been considered to be good. The occupant gaze upon the Sami has been interpreted as exoticizing and “touristic”. Historical encounters and the Sami position in the literary discourse are discussed and explained in this article, ...
    • Gerüchte, Klatsch oder Propaganda? Der florentinische Herrscherwechsel im Jahr 1537 

      Lentz, Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)
      Dieser Beitrag zeigt an einem historischen Fallbeispiel, wie sozialwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse über die Entstehung, Verbreitung und Funktion von Gerüchten für die historische Forschung fruchtbar gemacht werden können. Die Ermordung des ersten florentinischen Herzogs Alessandro de’ Medici und die Thronbesteigung Cosimo de’ Medicis im Jahr 1537 waren von einem Cluster von Gerüchten begleitet. Im ...
    • Global Indigeneity on the Move. The World Drum - Afterlives, Drift Matter, and Object Agency 

      Kraft, Siv Ellen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In October 2006 a drum embarked on what is possibly the most extensive journey of any drum at any time. The journey’s ambitions were similarly grand: to serve as a wakeup call to the needs of Mother Earth by linking people, things, and places. What follows is my take on this project in the context of the reclaiming of drums in Sápmi and globalizing discourses on Indigenous religion(s), as well ...
    • 'The good economy': a conceptual and empirical move for investigating how economies and versions of the good are entangled 

      Asdal, Kristin; Cointe, Béatrice; Hobæk, Bård; Reinertsen, Hilde; Huse, Tone; Morsman, Silje Rebecca; Måløy, Tommas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-20)
      Across Europe and the OECD, the bioeconomy is promoted as that which will succeed the carbon economy: an economy based in ‘the bio’ that will be innovative, sustainable, responsible and environmentally friendly. Yet how to critically approach an economy justifed not only by its accumulative potentials but also its ability to do and be good? This paper suggests the concept of ‘the good economy’ ...

    • Graves of the ‘Other’: Norway and the commemoration of soviet prisoners of war 

      Soleim, Marianne Neerland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)
      The memory of other nationalities and their wartime suffering on Norwegian soil are mainly part of a local narrative. While the subject of Soviet prisoners of war is common knowledge in local historical studies, both oral and written, there is virtually no space for a living memory about the Soviet POWs on a national level. Despite forming the largest group of casualties on Norwegian soil during the ...

    • The Heritage of War and the Discourse of Sustainability 

      Figenschau, Ingar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-18)
      Since the concept of sustainability (or sustainable development) became famous through its adoption in the UN’s report, ‘Our Common Future’ in 1987, it has travelled widely to become a global and omnipresent key concept also in the field of heritage. The inclusion into this field was facilitated by the understanding of heritage as resource, which has become the norm within cultural heritage management ...

      Når noen av dagens voksne, kvinnelige historikere møtes, hender det at vi mimrer om vår egen tid som hovedfagsstudenter. Vi tenker tilbake på et historiefag som var sterkt mannsdominert. Det fantes få fast ansatte kvinnelige historikere, selv om de som var der preget historiefaget positivt og ga verdifulle bidrag til forskning og fagutvikling. Som unge kvinner var vi forundret og rystet over den ...
    • Highland Asia as a World Region: An Introduction 

      Wouters, Jelle J.P.; Heneise, Michael T. (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Imagine, for a moment, that there are no borders, geopolitical tensions, political conflicts, or stringent visa regimes; a world where trails and paths fork out uninterrupted by states haunted by manifest anxieties over territory, sovereignty, and the reverberations of political cartography. In such a world, it would be possible for you, provided you possess extraordinary stamina, determination, and ...
    • Historisk arkeologi i Norge – en metadebatt 

      Spangen, Marte (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In 1992, the constitution and future of Norwegian medieval and historical archaeology was debated in META. The discussion concerned the definition “historical archaeology” itself, and the potential need for this subfield to be established as a discipline in its own right. The aim was to strengthen a weak academic framework for this branch of archaeology. In the end, such a separate discipline was ...

    • How was Ibsen's modern drama possible? 

      Fulsås, Narve; Rem, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-01)
      One of the major renewals in the history of drama is Henrik Ibsen’s “modern tragedy” of the 1880s and 1890s. Since Ibsen’s own time, this renewal has been seen as an achievement accomplished in spite, rather than because, of Ibsen’s Norwegian and Scandinavian contexts of origin. His origins have consistently been associated with provinciality, backwardness and restrictions to be overcome, and his ...
