The main regions for the research are the Kola Peninsula, The Norwegian Arctic town of Vardø, and Svalbard. The project is funded under Research Council Norway’s SAMKUL programme, one that is particularly concerned with the prospective social impact of academic research. Central to Future North is to study places that are trans- forming as the Arctic region is under pressure from several transformation forces, including climate change with subsequent intensified interest from the extraction and transportation industry as significant drivers. As the polar ice cap is melting, and the summer sea ice recedes, areas for oil exploration and new sea routes are being planned. 6 7 On Future North 8 9 On Future North 1. Into the future 1.

    Magic Language: The Transmission of an Idea over Geographical Distance and Linguistic Barriers Arne Kruse, Liv Helene Willumsen Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 1-32 (Article) Published by University of Pennsylvania Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/mrw.2020.0012 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/760679 [ Access provided at 15 Aug 2020 12:10 GMT from UIT Norges Arktiske Universitet ] Magic Language: The Transmission of an Idea over Geographical Distance and Linguistic Barriers ARNE KRUSE University of Edinburgh LIV HELENE WILLUMSEN University of Tromsø The aim of this article is to map out a fascinating transnational path regarding the transfer of ideas concerning witchcraft. Our objective is to demonstrate how language has the ability to carry and transport an ideological doctrine across national and linguistic borders—in this case, knowledge directly related to the learned European doctrine of demonology, which influenced witch- craft persecution all over Europe. The areas investigated are two locations in northern Europe, namely Scot- land and Finnmark, the northernmost district of Norway. The latter was called Vardøhus in the seventeenth century, and had a district governor as the highest authority. The district of Vardøhus covered the approximate area of Finnmark county in 2019, an expanse of 48,649 square kilometers and comparable to the area of Denmark. In the following, the modern name Finnmark will be used both for the district of Vardøhus and for the modern county.1 However, the choice of these two areas is not based on their geographical positions but rather on the exceptional intensity of the witchcraft persecution and the ideological content of the witchcraft trials that took place there in 1.

  • The Expeditio Litteraria Ad Polum Arcticum
    Chapter 5 He Came, He Saw, He Conquered?: The Expeditio litteraria ad Polum Arcticum In these northern regions, so rarely visited and so little explored, everything is of interest, and Father Hell studied everything. jérôme de lalande1 ∵ To commission a high-quality, internationally respected astronomical observa- tion and thus restore Denmark’s dwindling fame as a “nation of astronomy” was no doubt the chief ambition of Hell’s sponsors. In the very first letter from Foreign Minister Bernstorff to his Viennese envoy, the only explicit aim of the expedition is observation of the transit of Venus from Vardø.2 Although the expedition’s timeframe expanded significantly, with the departure from Vien- na finally set more than a year ahead of the astronomical event, there is no evi- dence in the ensuing diplomatic correspondence between Vienna and Copen- hagen to suggest that Denmark–Norway was preparing to support a wholescale encyclopedic expedition entailing years of exploration and voluminous publi- cations.3 Such plans, however, soon took form in Hell’s mind. Besides bending to God’s will, Hell must have been all too aware that to the Republic of Letters the region in question was still virtually a terra incognita. It was exotic and “liminal,” with the aurora borealis, polar night, and midnight sun, along with extreme weather and natural dangers such as the maelstrom of Moskenes, and above all the indigenous Sámi (Saami, Sami) population—known in those days as “Lapps”—forming intriguing objects of study with a broad popular ap- peal.4 The Lapland voyages of Linnaeus and Maupertuis in the 1730s had 1 Jérôme de Lalande, Bibliographie astronomique avec l’histoire de l’astronomie depuis 1781 jusqu’à 1802 (Paris: Imprimerie de la République, 1803), 721.

  • Invasive Red King Crab Affects Lumpsucker Recruitment by Egg Consumption
    Vol. 469: 87–99, 2012 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 26 doi: 10.3354/meps09917 Mar Ecol Prog Ser OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Invasive red king crab affects lumpsucker recruitment by egg consumption Nina Mikkelsen*, Torstein Pedersen Department of Arctic & Marine Biology, Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries & Economics, University of Tromsø, 9037 Tromsø, Norway ABSTRACT: The invasive red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus preys on lumpsucker Cyclopterus lumpus eggs. We tested the hypothesis this egg consumption may hamper the recruitment of lumpsucker. Methods applied included field work, laboratory experiments and modelling of egg consumption. Crabs were sampled and feeding behaviour was studied by means of a remotely operated vehicle and SCUBA divers in a field survey carried out in Varanger Fjord, Norway, in 2003. Laboratory experiments were carried out in 2006 to study the digestion of lump- sucker eggs by red king crabs, and a stomach evacuation model was fitted to the experimental data. Using data from the field and laboratory studies, an egg consumption model was used to quantify the amount of lumpsucker eggs consumed by king crabs in Varanger Fjord. The uncer- tainty in model input data was assessed using a Monte Carlo simulation. Sex or sampling area did not significantly affect egg predation. A total of 7.9% of all crab stomachs contained an average of 20 lumpsucker eggs, but the number of eggs per stomach varied widely. The average time required to evacuate lumpsucker eggs at 6°C in the laboratory experiment was ~10 h. In 2003, king crabs in Varanger Fjord consumed lumpsucker roe equivalent to approximately one-third of commercial catches during the same period.

  • Structural Geology of the Southeastern Part of the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone 305
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Structural geology of the southeastern part of the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone 305 Structural geology of the southeastern part of the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone, Varanger Peninsula, Finnmark, North Norway Tore Herrevold, Roy H. Gabrielsen & David Roberts Herrevold, T., Gabrielsen, R.H. & Roberts, D.: Structural geology of the southeastern part of the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone, Varanger Peninsula, Finnmark, North Norway. Norwegian Journal of Geology, vol. 89. pp. 305-325, Trondheim 2009, ISSN 029-196X. Structural studies in the Late Riphean to Vendian succession of the southeastern part of the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone on Varanger Peninsula, Finnmark, have revealed the presence of two main sets of contractional structures, here grouped into D1 and D2 events. These folding and cleavage-forming episodes are superseded by two, separate extensional events, D3 and D4. Although only one of these four events (D3) has been directly dated in the actual study area, the probable ages of the disparate, contractional deformation episodes can be deduced from published geochronological data in neighbouring parts of Varanger Peninsula or Northwest Russia. The deformation history of this area shows the following sequence of main events: (1) Inversion of the pre-existing, Neoproterozoic, basinal regime occurred during an episode of SW-directed shortening, folding and associated cleavage development, with reverse faulting and minor sinistral strike-slip movements along the Trollfjorden-Komagelva Fault Zone. By comparison with the situation on the nearby Rybachi and Sredni Peninsu- las in NW Russia, this D1 deformation and low-grade metamorphism is likely to have occurred during the Timanian orogeny at about 570-560 ± 10 Ma.

  • “Bridge – of Vardø” Vardø Is the Most North-Eastern Point of Norway, the Oldest City in Northern Norway, and Also One of the Oldest in the Entire Circumpolar Arctic
    “Bridge – of Vardø” Vardø is the most north-eastern point of Norway, the oldest city in Northern Norway, and also one of the oldest in the entire circumpolar Arctic. Between 900 and 9000 years old archaeological findings remind of settlements based around fishing. The city is named after the island where it is located: Vardøya. The fishing village of Vardø became important because of Vardøhus fortress that was established in the early 14th century. Vardø is built up around the fortress and became an important trading place between Norwegians in Finnmark County and Russians from Kola Peninsula. During the 17th century, Vardø was the arena of several witches' processes. Trading with Russian merchants, th th also called Pomor trade, was very important in the 18 and 19 century, and because of this trade, Vardø received city status in 1789. (https://www.hurtigruten.no/havner/vardo/) Some decades ago Vardø counted around 4000 inhabitants. Today some 2000 people live there. It is strongly recommended to learn more about Vardø before dealing with the particular case assignments. One reason is that many of the companies and organisations in Vardø are connected to each other. Most people know each other and participate in community life. Going deeper into Vardø town itself will provide you with valuable knowledge that might be critical for businesses and initiatives you will work for. Another reason is the potential synergies of problem solutions for a small place like Vardø town, it might be critical to study not only your own team’s case assignment. Some of the online sources on Vardø are written in Norwegian only.
