December 2019 Sons of Norway District Six Edition #006
CulturalCultural NewsNews December 2019 Sons of Norway District Six Edition #006 Hilsen fra kulturdirektøren Greetings from your Cultural Director; I recently came across a book in a box of donated items for the “Opportunity Drawing” at my lodge's Lutefisk dinner. It’s an annual event with wonderful Norwegian food and drink, conversations with dear friends both old and new, and the “Opportunity Drawing” filled with donated items from members. As I browsed through the book titled: “Flavors of the Fjords, The Norwegian Holiday Cookbook”, I became fascinated with the story at the beginning of the recipes. I decided to be a trifle selfish and didn’t put the cookbook out on the opportunity table, instead donating what I would have spent on tickets. This cookbook, written by four Norwegian American women, was the story of their family’s immigration from Norway, and the early years of their sojourn into the United States. The women had been given several boxes of old family mementos when their grandmother passed away. The setting was in Newport, Rhode Island. The book spoke to the traditions which had been brought to the United States by a Norwegian woman who had married and stayed in Newport, Rhode Island. The recipes were from a “…faded yellow cookbook” that was handwritten in Norwegian by their great-grandmother. I remember my Norwegian grandmother always spent hours during the holiday season preparing traditional cookies and lefse for the family to enjoy. Then she would entertain family and friends over and over until after New Year’s Day. This book is about their great-grandmother doing that same thing and their grandmother, her daughter, learning to keep those traditions alive. -

Cope B.A. Ohio University May 2010 Committee Chair: Kimberly Paice, Ph.D. Abstract The artist collective Présence Panchounette of Bordeaux, France, made significant contributions to contemporary art in France from 1969 until 1990. Here I examine the history, the ideas, and the works of the group, and argue for Présence Panchounette‘s contribution in making contemporary art more accessible to the general public. Within the last few decades, French centers for contemporary art have mounted exhibitions that celebrate the works of Présence Panchounette and its peers, yet little attention has been given to these artists in the United States. The group was among the forerunners of the appropriation movement in France that aimed to analyze the industrialization and commercialism of the 20th century.
