    • Old-age mortality and social class in northern Norway in the first half of the twentieth century 

      Langholz, Petja Lyn; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-13)
      The number of studies on social inequality in mortality in Norway before 1960 is limited and they often focus on early life outcomes. Little is known about socioeconomic differences in old-age mortality before the emergence of the welfare state. Linked census and church records from the Historical Population Register of Norway were used to study a sample of 10,457 men and women born 1841–1870 ...
    • Ei ny religiøs rørsle tek form 

      Fonneland, Trude A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      13.3.2012 vart Sjamanistisk Forbund godkjent som eige trussamfunn av fylkesmannen i Troms. Godkjenninga innebar oppretting av ein sjamanistisk landsorganisasjon og eit fylkeslag for Tromsø kommune. I søknaden til Fylkesmannen går det fram at forbundet er særleg oppteke av å forvara den samiske og norrøne sjamantradisjonen. Forbundet ynskjer å opna for eigne sjamanistiske seremoniar knytt til dåp, ...
    • Norges siste hekseprosess i Kvæfjord 

      Hagen, Rune Blix (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)
    • "Festung Norwegen" and slave labourers from the East 

      Soleim, Marianne Neerland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Between 1941 and 1945, 100,000 Soviet prisoners of war were sent to Norway. More than 90,000 of these Soviet prisoners were soldiers from the Red Army.1 Nearly 7000 of the prisoners were civilian Soviet forced labourers, or so-called ‘Ostarbeiter’. The prisoners were mainly used in the building of railroads, Highway 50, runways, and fortresses along the coastline.2 “Festung Norwegen” were built with ...

    • Minnediplomati i grenseland. De russisk-norske patriotiske minneturene 2011–2019 

      Myklebost, Kari Aga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-08)
      This article traces the development and narrative staging in Russian media of the so-called Russian-Norwegian patriotic memory tours that took place from 2011 to 2019 to celebrate a heroic story of WWII Red Army soldiers and Norwegian partisans in Soviet intelligence service. The article concludes that the tours were initiated by Russian state and state-affiliated actors who exported military-patriotic ...
    • Augustins underfulle alminnelighet 

      Dahl, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)
      I et tilbakeblikk skriver Geir Hellemo nylig følgende om Augustins Bekjennelser: «Jeg hadde lest den tidligere. Da så jeg bare Augustins strenge blikk. Jeg tror det var fordi jeg leste ham med pietistisk fargede øyne» (Gud i en gudløs verden). Noen år tidligere har åpenbart en annen forståelse av Augustin gjort seg gjeldende: «Jeg tar ikke munnen for full når jeg sier at Augustin har fornyet mitt ...
    • 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 ...
    • Extracted Frontiers: A Call from the North 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)
      From microchips to smartphones to electric cars, humanity’s dreams of techno-salvation are built on the crude materiality of extracted metals and minerals. This extraction conveniently avoids large population centres in affluent Western democracies and instead clusters around the world’s social peripheries. This slam poem, first presented as a spoken performance at the 8th Winter School of the ...
    • Forskning på de historiske trolldomsprosessene. Hva forteller rettsarkivene? 

      Hagen, Rune Blix (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023)
    • Krigsmotstand og uavhengig journalistikk: Russiske journalister i eksil 

      Myklebost, Kari Aga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-29)
      Et av de tydeligste uttrykkene for krigsmotstand i det russiske samfunnet finner vi hos russiske journalistmiljø i eksil. En akutt hardere sensurpolitikk og represjoner fra myndighetene etter 24. februar 2022 har provosert fram en bølge av emigrasjon og aktivisme blant russiske journalister. Denne artikkelen drøfter konsekvensene av den fullskala invasjonen av Ukraina og intensivert russisk statlig ...
    • 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 ...
    • Augustine and Heidegger on Verticality and Everydayness 

      Dahl, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-27)
      The first part of the article examines how Augustine’s notion of the everyday is mediated by his mystical ascensions, which give him the sense of height against which everydayness appears as oriented downward or fallen. These are the coordinates that make up the fundamental verticality of Augustine’s view. Heidegger’s understanding of everydayness was influenced by Augustine, particularly its ...
    • The Tyranny of the Models 2.0 

      Niemi, Einar a; Tjelmeland, Hallvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-03)
      Ein av dei store metodedebattane i førre hundreåret gjekk mellom historikaren Jens Arup Seip og statsvitaren Stein Rokkan. Kjernen i motsetninga låg i tittelen på Seips åtak på Rokkan på det nordiske historikarmøtet i 1974, «Modellenes tyranni». Rokkan svarte med artikkelen «Detaljenes tyranni».1 Seip trefte ikkje heilt med sin kritikk, for Rokkans modellar var ikkje lausrive frå den historiske ...

    • Islam i Tromsø: en nordnorsk religion 

      Bratsvedal, Ine Rolseth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-20)
      Hva er islams historie i Tromsø? Hvordan har muslimer i Tromsø tilpasset livet i nord til islam, og islam til livet i nord? Hvordan har islam blitt en nordnorsk religion? Jeg forsøker å kaste lys over disse spørsmålene gjennom feltarbeid, intervju og undersøkelser av skriftlige kilder, samt ved å dra veksler på perspektiver fra religionshistorikeren Thomas Tweed.
    • On Boundaries and Areas in Local History Research 

      Thorvaldsen, Gunnar (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 1997)
      Among the social sciences, history is characterised as the most particularising discipline - the discipline to the greatest extent studying the way definite actions, events and structures differ from time to time and place to place. A considerable part of Norwegian historical research deals with local areas, <i>kommuner</i> (municipalities), <i>fylker</i> (provinces) and other regions below the ...
    • Kulturarv som grunnlag for en nordvendt framtid - Sluttrapport 

      Arntzen, Johan Eilertsen; Nilsen, Gørill (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023)
      Prosjektet Kulturarv som grunnlag for en nordvendt framtid ble i 2020 gitt styøtte fra UiTs Strategisk utdanningsutvalgs Program for undervisningskvalitet i kategorien samarbeidsprosjekter med arbeidslivet. Prosjektet har jobbet med å øke det humanistiske disiploinfaget arkeologi sin erfaringsbasis og kunnskap om å skape begrepsmessig innsikt knyttet til praktiske- og praksisemner med relevans for ...
    • The Witchcraft Trial against Anders Poulsen, Vads  1692: Critical Perspectives 

      Willumsen, Liv Helene (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-03-29)
      In this chapter, I will analyse a historical source that has attracted considerable attention during the last two decades, namely the court records of the trial of Anders Poulsen, 1692.1 The trial took place in the town of Vadsø in Finnmark, which is the northernmost district of Northern Norway. The reasons for this attention are multiple, and a few will be mentioned.
    • The Earldom of Orkney, the Duchy of Schleswig and the Kalmar Union in 1434 

      Grohse, Ian Peter; Magnussen, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-02)
      In August 1434, Erik VII, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, confirmed William Sinclair as earl of Orkney, thus ending a decade-long dispute over the hereditary nature of that island fief. Although surviving sources pertaining to Orkney tell us little about Erik VII’s motives, historians have traditionally pointed to circumstances in and around the isles to explain the king’s acknowledgement of ...
