• Arctic trophy hunters, tourism and masculinities, 1827-1914 

      Aarekol, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-12)
      Trophy hunting in the Arctic happened in an intersection between tourism, expeditions and hunting. This study contributes to a discrete history of masculinity within the context of trophy hunting organized from North Norway and to a broader understanding of Arctic masculinity in general. As trophy hunting expeditions are primarily a male, even masculinist, tourist practice, an analysis from ...

    • Kven culture and history in museum terms 

      Aarekol, Lena (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2008)
      In this article I look more closely at how Kven culture and history gained their place in museums and what processes led to the foundation of these museums. In addition, I shall attempt to identify how Kven culture and history have been portrayed and which accounts of the Kven have been presented by these museums. In this context it is instructive to look more closely at why these museums may be ...
    • Kvendrakten : om å kle seg kvensk. 

      Aarekol, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2008)
      Denne artikkelen har fokus på hvordan og hvorfor kvendrakten ble skapt. Hvordan skriver skapelsen av denne drakten seg inn i norsk folkedrakt- og bunadtradisjon? Klær har mange funksjoner, men i denne sammenhengen vil jeg se på det visuelle og identitetsskapende aspektet ved bekledning.
    • Maskulinitet og trofejakt i Arktis 

      Aarekol, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      From the late 1800s and until the protection of polar bears came into force in 1973, there were regular private hunting expeditions to the Arctic by boat, including several from Tromsø. In this article, I investigate how masculinity is manifested in specific empirical evidence: a trophy hunting expedition with the Sutton family that left from Tromsø in the summer of 1932. Using masculinity as a lens ...

The purpose of the monument was to pay tribute to the Finnish immigrants and their contribution to the ...
    • Roald Amundsen - den husmoderlige polarhelten 

      Aarekol, Lena (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)
      14. desember 1911 ble Sydpolen erobret! Da Roald Amundsen og hans mannskap på fire nådde klodens sydligste punkt som de aller første, var det en verdensbegivenhet. <p> <p>Nordmenns beundring for vågemot, styrke og overlevelsesevne gjorde denne ekspedisjonen til en nasjonal stolthet, og den ble viktig for norsk identitetsbygging (Fulsås 2004, 222). Etter at Fridtjof Nansen hadde krysset Grønland ...
