The Testimony of the Hoofprints: Danish Legends About the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe
John Lindow 2021: The Testimony of the Hoofprints: Danish Legends about the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe. Ethnologia Europaea 51(1): 137–155. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16995/ee.1899 The Testimony of the Hoofprints Danish Legends about the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe John Lindow, University of California, Berkeley, United States, [email protected] Barbro Klein’s “The Testimony of the Button” is still, fifty years after it appeared, a fundamental study of legends and legend scholarship. Inspired by Klein’s article, I analyze legends about “lord and lady” Margrethe (1353–1412), who reigned for decades as the effective ruler of the medieval union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Proceeding through various groups of related legends, I show how these legends were adapted to Margrethe’s anomalous status as a female war leader, including their cross-fertilization with robber legends and the use of a ruse usually associated with male protagonists. This article ends by indicating the importance of place within history as articulated in legends.

Not One of Us: National Identity Versus Islam - a Comparative Discourse Analysis of the Danish People‟S Party, the PVV & the Sweden Democrats
Master‟s thesis Mette Pedersen Culture, Communication and Globalization Fall 2011 Not One of Us: National identity versus Islam - A comparative discourse analysis of the Danish People‟s Party, the PVV & the Sweden Democrats By Mette Pedersen Master‟s Thesis Fall 2011 Aalborg University Culture, Communication and Globalisation Supervisor: Susi Meret Characters: 191,754 (80 pages) Hand in date: July 29, 2011 ABSTRACT In this thesis, the communication of the Danish People‟s Party (DPP), the Party for Freedom (PVV) and the Sweden Democrats is analysed. The particular focus is on the three parties‟ paradoxical presentation of national identity including values such as liberal-mindedness and tolerance while simultaneously arguing for intolerance towards Islam and Muslims. In other words, the focus of this thesis is answering the question „Why, according to the DPP, PVV and SD, is it necessary to be intolerant towards Islam and Muslims in order to remain tolerant and liberal?‟. Before analysing the communication of the three parties, the political and cultural contexts in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden are examined. This background analysis shows how the immigration and multiculturalism debates have developed in the latter part of the 1900s up until today. It is seen that Denmark and the Netherlands today have very restrictive immigration policies and allow for a tone in the debate that many consider too harsh. In Sweden, it is not quite as harsh, although the debate seems to have become a little more critical than it used to be. The background analysis furthermore shows that particularly Danes have a clear vision of what Danish national identity is, whereas the Dutchmen are more polarised, partly showing an identity crisis. -

Tangherlini, ed. and trans. Danish Folktales, Legends, and Other Stories. Seatt le: University of Washington Press, 2013. 280 pp, DVD. $50.00 Reviewed by Jason Schroeder In the preface to Danish Folktales, Legends and Other Stories, editor Timothy Tangherlini announces that the book represents an att empt to rethink how folklore collections are published. His att empt succeeds by harnessing the possibilities of computer databases to focus on the individual folklore informants and their repertoires in context. Folklore collections are generally centered around a generic concept: fairy tale, folktale, ballad, proverb, folk belief, legend, etc., and the genres are divided into subgenres: legends about revenants or legends about priests, for example. The concept of genre and its application in folklore editions has its basis in natural sciences, botany in particular. Tangherlini points out the weakness of such single designator classifi cation systems. A legend may have a ghost and a priest that exorcises the ghost: what type of legend is it then? What happens when fairy tales merge with legends? Perhaps most critically, Tangherlini explains that the human beings who tell the stories and sing the songs are eff ectively erased, as are their repertoires and the sequence in which they tell their stories to collectors. -

Danish Folkloristics: between Philology and Ethnology Michèle Simonsen University of Copenhagen [email protected] Abstract This paper gives an overview of the most important scholars within Danish folkloristics – Svend Grundtvig, Axel Olrik, Evald Tang Kristensen, Bengt Holbek, Iørn Piø – and argues that, although most of them were originally trained in philology and mostly interested in oral literature, they were all, each in their own way, concerned with the “ecology” of folklore: i.e. its interplay with its environment. Who were the “folk” and what was “lore” for these scholars? The paper also tries to assess how Danish folkloristics deals with the contemporary shift of paradigm from folkloristics to cultural studies. Keywords Folklore; Denmark; Ballads; Epic Laws; Svend Grundtvig; Axel Olrik Resum Aquest article ofereix una visió general dels estudiosos més importants del folklore danès —Svend Grundtvig, Axel Olrik, Evald Tang Kristensen, Bengt Holbek, Iørn Piø— i sosté que, encara que la majoria d’ells van ser formats originalment en filologia i sobretot es van interessar per la literatura oral, estaven tots, cadascú a la seva manera, d’acord amb l’«ecologia» del folklore: és a dir, la seva interacció amb l’entorn. Què era el «poble» (folk) i què era la «saviesa» (lore) per a aquests erudits? L’article també tracta d’avaluar com els folkloristes danesos van tractar el canvi de paradigma des dels estudis folklòrics als culturals.

Contradiction Leads to a Miracle a Rethinking of Hans Christian Anderson and His Fairy Tales
Vol. 1, No. 2 Review of European Studies Contradiction Leads to a Miracle A Rethinking of Hans Christian Anderson and His Fairy Tales Ruizhen Feng School of Foreign Languages, Jiangsu University 301 Xuefu Road, Zhenjiang 212013, China Tel: 86-511-8879-1205 E-mail: [email protected] The research is financed by the Department of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University, China. (Project Code No. JDR 2008B07.) Abstract Hans Christian Anderson is the most renowned fairy tale masters throughout the history. His works have been translated into different languages and spread all over the world. This paper intends to discuss Anderson’s works via a review of newly obtained literature relevant to his works. There is contradiction between Anderson’s actual life and dreams; both the natural revelation of children’s spirit and the profound expression of adults’ thinking contrastively exist in his works; not only the casual style in folk writing but also the poetic creation of literature are simultaneously employed in his works. These three aspects are contradictory but also uniform as well in Anderson. It is just in this contradiction and unity that Andersen’s works can be so splendid and simple, so bright and profound. Based on the above reason, the author points out that Anderson’s success is by no means an accidental phenomenon and his works can not be interpreted in a narrow sense as just fairy tales only for children, they have a profound influence on the adult literature. Keywords: Hans Christian Anderson, Contradiction, Fairy tales 1. Introduction Hans Christian Anderson, a Danish poet, novelist, and an immortal storyteller, was Denmark's most famous figure. -

Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800–Present Edited by Nikolaj Bijleveld, Colin Grittner, David E
Reforming Senates This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant. Nikolaj Bijleveld, historian, is a staff member at the University of Groningen. Colin Grittner teaches Canadian history in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick.

'O, Du Gyldne Maskarade!'
‘O, du gyldne Maskarade!’ ‘Oh, golden masquerade!’ The construction of Danish national identity in Carl Nielsen’s Maskarade (1906) Aksel Dalmo Tollåli Master’s thesis, Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2019 I II ‘O, du gyldne Maskarade!’ ‘Oh, golden masquerade!’ Constructions of Danish national identity in Carl Nielsen’s opera Maskarade (1906) Aksel Dalmo Tollåli Master’s thesis, Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Spring 2019 III © Aksel Dalmo Tollåli, 2019 ‘O, du gyldne Maskarade!’ (‘Oh, golden masquerade!’) Constructions of Danish national identity in Carl Nielsen’s opera Maskarade (1906) Aksel Dalmo Tollåli http://www.duo.uio.no/ IV Abstract This thesis explores the portrayal of Danish national identity in Carl Nielsen and Vilhelm Andersen’s opera Maskarade (1906). The opera is markedly different in its portrayal of Danish identity – Danishness – than the Danish operas of the 19th century, which were generally characterised by nationalist tropes of rural mediaeval glory or folk mythology, with scores heavily reliant on the folk-like strophic song. Maskarade presents a much greater musical stylistic variety, and is also a comedy, set in the Danish capital Copenhagen, among the bourgeoisie in the early 18th century. The thesis also examins potential reasons for the Maskarade’s rapid success within Denmark and status as a national opera. It seeks to investigate how Maskarade relates to previous Danish music drama, and to place it in a wider Danish operatic history, as well as look at its critical reception between the premiere and its 25th anniversary revival in 1931. While the thesis offers no conclusive answer to the question of Maskarade’s success in its first 25 years, it does posit that a main reason was the increasing fame of Carl Nielsen in that same period.
