Reformasjonen på Færøyene - en nordtysk kulturarv?
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-12-18)The chapter examines the proposition, first advanced by Faroese historian Louis Zachariasen, that the Reformation was introduced to the Faroe Islands by German merchants from Hamburg who held trading privileges and governing authority in the Faroes between ca. 1520 and 1553.

Alderdommens fenomenologi: Om kropp, tid og passivitet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-13)Simone de Beauvoir og Jean Améry har skrevet avgjørende verk innen aldringens fenomenologi som avdekker sentrale sider ved den aldrendes erfaring av kropp og tid. Begge mener at det innskrenkede handlingsrommet og den forkortede fremtidshorisonten som alderdommen medfører, truer livets meningsfullhet. Dette hviler imidlertid på premisset om at det meningsfulle livet utfolder seg som ungdommelighet, ... -

At the start of the decline air-borne diseases accounted for nearly half of the deaths, and water-food borne for ... -
"Viking" - norsk nasjonalisme i vesterled
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)Den 12. juli 1893 seilte et vikingskip inn på havna i Chicago, et knapt halvår etter at det var sjøsatt i Sandefjord. Skipet var en tro kopi av Gokstadskipet, og anledningen var verdensutstillingen til minne om Colombus` "oppdagelse" av Amerika 400 år tidligere. Ankomsten ble slått stort opp på forsida av The Chicago Tribune, og seilasen figurerte i amerikanske og norske aviser i ukesvis. Hvordan ... -

Highland Asia as a World Region: An Introduction
(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 ... -
Downscaling Cosmological Landscapes: from Early to Mid-Holocene Rock Art in Northern Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)The rock art of northern Norway is well-known, not least due to the UNESCO World Heritage sites at Alta dating back to c. 5200 cal BC. It is perhaps less well-known that northern Norway also has earlier rock art dating back to c. 9000 cal BC. While the early phase of rock art is dominated by large, natural sized animals such as elk, reindeer, bear and whale in a naturalistic style, the later period ... -
On the View of 'the Other' - Abroad and At Home: The Geography and Peoples of the Far North, According to Historia Norwegie
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)In this discussion I want to focus the spotlight on what Historia Norwegiae (hereafter H.N.) reports on relations in the Far North, on the Sámi and on the interaction between Norwegians and Sámi, as well as additional peoples further to the east in the North Calotte.2 I shall concentrate on a summary of the peoples who were perceived, to a greater or lesser extent, as standing outside the Norse, ... -

The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Kremlin's Policy of Remembrance
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)The first time I visited the Lenin Mausoleum was on an autumn day in 1971. Leaves blew over Red Square, and down in the sarcophagus Lenin was lying in dim illumination, immaculately dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and a red necktie. Despite his attire he made a dismal impression with his yellow, parchment-like skin. 20 years later Soviet society dissolved, without Lenin being offered a decent ... -

Sámi Myths and Medieval Heritage
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)Sámi landscapes are pluralistic and contain traces of a variety of activities occurring in the past and present. This includes remains of medieval houses and hunting installations that are different from the ones used in later Sámi contexts. The Sámi have created their own interpretations of these enigmatic features in the landscape, relating, for instance, so-called ‘Stállo’ house grounds, reindeer ... -
Introduction: Currents of Saami pasts
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)A scientific field is a constant process, and, as all processes, it is defined by dialectics, since standpoints are only defined in opposition to something else. Saami archaeology is no exception, and this field emerged precisely because of oppositions, when political conflicts enforced the realization of a lack of consideration of the Saami presence in the prevailing understanding of the past in ... -
Sticky structures and opportunistic builders - The construction and social role of longhouses in northern Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)The longhouse has been a turning point for research on prehistoric farming societies in Scandinavia for several decades.

In this chapter, we present the currently available longhouse material within the three northernmost counties of Norway. The 50 longhouses that have ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-11-08)While the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it left a heavy legacy in the form of industrial towns, residential buildings, infrastructure networks, and ecological damage that extends the Soviet Union’s effective history into the present day.
