It is the grave church of St. Olav, the patron Saint of Norway and has now become one of Europe’s major historical pilgrim destinations. Nidaros Cathedral is also where coronations and royal blessings take place. The cathedral is mainly built in soapstone. It is located on the foundations of former churches, and the oldest standing parts of the church, the transepts, are from about 1160-70. The church is rebuilt with brick vaults over the choir and western nave, and across the archways under the triforium. The copper-covered roof is carried by steel structures with the exception of the transepts, the chapter house and the extended chapels in the transepts which all have pure wood structures in the roof.

  • Masteravhandling Og Vedlegg (12.99Mb)
    2 SAMANDRAG Falske nyhende har vore eit omdiskutert tema etter Brexit, presidentvalkampen i USA i 2016 og dei etterfølgjande vala i andre land. Denne studien forsøker å sjå på førekomsten av falske nyhende under stortingsvalet i 2017. Føremålet har vore å kaste lys over det digitale økosystemet av alternative medium, som forsøkte å påverke veljarane sine meiningar og førestillingar med hjelp av politisk propaganda, falske nyhende, forvrengt og einsidig framstilling av saker, medviten desinformasjon og løgner. Dei fleste nettstadene i vårt utval publiserer saker med ein politisk agenda og eit innhald som består av ekstremt skeivt vinkla saker og konspirasjonsteoriar. Dei fleste ser ut til å ha kopling til parti og aktørar på høgre fløy av politikken. Dei alternative nettstadene lenker til kvarandre, dei krysspubliserer likelydande saker, dei likar kvarandre sine Facebook-sider. Vi har kartlagt eit nettverk med hundrevis av Facebook- sider som distribuerer politisk propaganda i den norske ålmenta. Analysen viser at denne praksisen er ein effektiv måte alternative medium kan skape såkalla filterbobler. Dette er kjent fenomen frå korleis algoritmar legg til rette for at den einskilde skal konsumere informasjon som er i tråd med eksisterande oppfatningar. Så langt denne studien har vist, var ikkje problemet med falske nyhende like omfattande i Norge som det har vore i andre demokrati. Det ser ut til å vere relativt liten førekomst av fabrikkerte nyhende, som er laga med sikte på økonomisk vinning. Generelt har den norske ålmenta relativt få nettstader som publiserer løgner, oppspinn og konspirasjonsteoriar. Samanlikna med utlandet blir slike sider relativt lite delt i sosiale medium, men i norsk målestokk er omfanget likevel nokså omfattande, med tusenvis av delingar.

  • Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion

In this article we approach the current pilgrimage revival in Northern Europe as part of a trend toward a heritagization of religion that allows new religious self-understandings to emerge. We analyze pilgrim guidebooks to the St. Olav Ways with regard to their narrative scripts, detailing how they can create expectations, inform the pilgrims’ conduct, and direct their attention toward a history that translates into a heritage. Based on a corpus of published pilgrim journals and diaries, we argue that the guidebooks instruct a process of interpretive drift, which influence the pilgrims toward embracing and embodying a new role with- in the religious field. The guidebooks invite the pilgrims to take on the role of heirs to a medieval European tradition.

  • (Kristen Regi),Israel Og Jødene –
    Kjepphøye eiere av 4WD/AWD- biler SUV med 4WD/AWD. Tilfeldigvis en BMW som illustrasjonsfoto. Jeg har aldri hatt noe særlig sans for den gjennomsnittlige bileier av biler med firehjulsdrift / firehjulstrekk (4WD, 4X4, AWD). Ofte er slike personer høye på seg selv, sin bilkjøring og ikke minst på alt det deres bil kan mestre av krevende situasjoner i trafikken. Det virker som om enkelte tror at firehjulstrekk løser alle tenkelige og utenkelige problemer. Spesielt finnes det en del eiere av dyrere SUV-modeller som oppfører seg som om de er udødelige i trafikken. Med sin kvasse kjøring skaper de farlige trafikksituasjoner både for seg selv og andre medtrafikanter som de treffer på sin vei. I forbindelse med dette temaet var det greit å få sannheten servert: Biler med firehjulstrekk har 20-30 % høyere risiko for ulykker på is og snø i forhold til bilene til oss “fattigfolk” med kun tohjulstrekk. Fra en artikkel publisert av NRK Vestfold gjengir jeg følgende tre sitater: – Det folk kanskje ikke er bevisste på, er at det er mye høyere risiko for utforkjøringsulykker på glatt føre med firehjulstrekk, sier fagsjef i NAF trafikktrening, Morten Fransrud. En studie utført av det svenske forsikringsselskapet Folksam har en klar konklusjon; biler med firehjulstrekk har 20–30 prosent høyere risiko for ulykker på is og snø. NAFs bilbergere opplever at firehjulstrekkere havner lenger ut i skauen enn tohjulstrekkere. Vei og bil PS! Det finnes også selvsagt fornuftige 4WD/AWD-eiere, som ikke bare er opptatt av å “brife” og å vise seg fram. F. eks. anser jeg det ikke akkurat som et statussymbol å eie en enklere Toyota, Subaru eller “Lada” (les: Suzuki) med firehjulstrekk.

  • Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway
    religions Article Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway Per Arvid Åsen Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden, University of Agder, 4604 Kristiansand, Norway; [email protected] Abstract: Gardening was an important part of the daily duties within several of the religious orders in Europe during the Middle Ages. The rule of Saint Benedict specified that the monastery should, if possible, contain a garden within itself, and before and above all things, special care should be taken of the sick, so that they may be served in very deed, as Christ himself. The cultivation of medicinal and utility plants was important to meet the material needs of the monastic institutions, but no physical garden has yet been found and excavated in either Scandinavia or Iceland. The Cistercians were particularly well known for being pioneer gardeners, but other orders like the Benedictines and Augustinians also practised gardening. The monasteries and nunneries operating in Iceland during medieval times are assumed to have belonged to either the Augustinian or the Benedictine orders. In Norway, some of the orders were the Dominicans, Fransiscans, Premonstratensians and Knights Hospitallers. Based on botanical investigations at all the Icelandic and Norwegian monastery sites, it is concluded that many of the plants found may have a medieval past as medicinal and utility plants and, with all the evidence combined, they were most probably cultivated in monastery gardens. Keywords: medieval gardening; horticulture; monastery garden; herb; relict plants; medicinal plants Citation: Åsen, Per Arvid. 2021. Medieval Monastery Gardens in 1. Introduction Iceland and Norway.

Anderson Concordia University, Montreal QC [email protected] In ‘Walking to Be Some Body’ Matthew R. Anderson uses the example of North American Scandinavian-background pilgrims walking Norway’s St. Olaf Way to parse the yearning of contemporary diaspora pilgrims who walk repristinated routes along ancient paths toward real or imagined homelands. These travellers literally incarnate contemporary tensions between the religious and the non-religious, the journey and the destination, and between the rootlessness of modern global tourism and the rootedness longed for in community and patrimony.
