Mari Torsdotter Hauge Masteroppgåve i historie Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Hausten 2014 II Gud bevare meg fra noengang å fullføre noe. Hele denne boken er bare et utkast - nei, bare utkastet til et utkast. Å, tid, styrke, kontanter og tålmot! Herman Melville, Moby Dick (1851) III IV Føreord «Det verkar som du har trivst med skrivinga,» sa rettleiaren min, Øystein Sørensen, på den siste store manusgjennomgangen av denne masteroppgåva for nokre veker sidan, og han hadde heilt rett. Sidan eg starta på masterprogrammet i fjor vinter og famla meg fram i ukjende arkiv, har det vore ein fest og eit privilegium å få bruka såpass mykje tid på å fordjupa meg i ein organisasjon og ei gruppe fascinerande menneske som på mange måtar er gløymde i Noreg i dag, og det er mange som skal ha takk for at arbeidet har glidd framover og skrivinga har vore noko eg (for det meste) har trivst med. Først og fremst ein stor takk til rettleiar Øystein som fekk meg interessert i dette temaet, og som har ført meg inn på rett spor kvar gong eg har vingla litt ut av kurs. Eg skuldar også ein stor takk til det venlege personalet på Spesiallesesalen på Nasjonalbiblioteket, som har vist veg i arkivesker og kartotekkort. Å skriva master i historie hadde neppe vore like lett utan gode vener og humørspreiarar på pauserommet i 3. etasje på Niels Treschows hus. Takk til alle som har drukke kaffi i tide og utide dei to siste åra, og ein særleg takk til Ingrid, Maria og resten av Kvinnegruppa Ottar Dahl for å vera gode forbundsfeller i kampen for eit mindre mannsdominert historiefag.

  • Modernism and Fascism in Norway by Dean N. Krouk A
    Catastrophes of Redemption: Modernism and Fascism in Norway By Dean N. Krouk A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mark Sandberg, Chair Professor Linda Rugg Professor Karin Sanders Professor Dorothy Hale Spring 2011 Abstract Catastrophes of Redemption: Modernism and Fascism in Norway by Dean N. Krouk Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian University of California, Berkeley Professor Mark Sandberg, Chair This study examines selections from the work of three modernist writers who also supported Norwegian fascism and the Nazi occupation of Norway: Knut Hamsun (1859- 1952), winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize; Rolf Jacobsen (1907-1994), Norway’s major modernist poet; and Åsmund Sveen (1910-1963), a fascinating but forgotten expressionist figure. In literary studies, the connection between fascism and modernism is often associated with writers such as Ezra Pound or Filippo Marinetti. I look to a new national context and some less familiar figures to think through this international issue. Employing critical models from both literary and historical scholarship in modernist and fascist studies, I examine the unique and troubling intersection of aesthetics and politics presented by each figure. After establishing a conceptual framework in the first chapter, “Unsettling Modernity,” I devote a separate chapter to each author. Analyzing both literary publications and lesser-known documents, I describe how Hamsun’s early modernist fiction carnivalizes literary realism and bourgeois liberalism; how Sveen’s mystical and queer erotic vitalism overlapped with aspects of fascist discourse; and how Jacobsen imagined fascism as way to overcome modernity’s culture of nihilism.

  • Psykoanalysens Inntog I Norsk Psykologi Og Psykiatri En Historisk
    Psykoanalysens inntog i norsk psykologi og psykiatri En historisk beretning Den særegne historien psykoanalysen har i Norge, gjør at klinisk psykologi og psykiatri har en mer markert psykodynamisk profil her til lands enn i de andre nordiske landene. Psykoanalysens tidvis dramatiske historiske inntog har på ulikt vis bidratt til å befeste norske psykologers anseelse. TEKST Per Anthi Erik Stänicke PUBLISERT 4. juni 2018 ABSTRACT: The establishment of psychoanalysis in Norway The authors give an account of how psychoanalysis was introduced in Norway, and how the Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society was established in 1934. The importance of its pioneers is outlined. The Norwegian analysts trained in Berlin before 1933, were drawn into a struggle against Nazism. The society’s close relations to Wilhelm Reich and Otto Fenichel are elucidated. This paper describes how the Norwegian society retrieved its status as a component society of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) after having been excluded in 1945. It is documented that Willy Brandt, being in exile in Norway in the years 19331940, had a close relationship to Wilhelm Reich. The historical lines that are presented also shed light on the unique position psychoanalysis still have within the Norwegian society, which is quite different from our neighbouring countries. Key words: psychoanalysis, history, Norwegian, nazism, Berlin, Reich, Fenichel, Schjelderup, Hansen Vi skal i denne artikkelen beskrive hvordan psykoanalysen ble introdusert i Norge, og hvorledes Dansk-Norsk Psykoanalytisk Forening (senere kalt Norsk Psykoanalytisk Forening, og heretter omtalt som dette) ble etablert i 1934. Vi vil også gjøre rede for hvordan psykoanalysen har påvirket norsk psykologi og psykiatri siden den ble introdusert her i landet tidlig på 1900-tallet og frem til i dag.

  • The Montage Rhetoric of Nordahl Grieg's Interwar Drama
    humanities Article The Montage Rhetoric of Nordahl Grieg’s Interwar Drama Dean Krouk Department of Scandinavian Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 October 2018; Accepted: 10 October 2018; Published: 15 October 2018 Abstract: This essay explains the modernist montage rhetoric of Nordahl Grieg’s 1935 drama Vår ære og vår makt in the context of the playwright’s interest in Soviet theater and his Communist sympathies. After considering the historical background for the play’s depiction of war profiteers in Bergen, Norway, during the First World War, the article analyzes Grieg’s use of a montage rhetoric consisting of grotesque juxtapositions and abrupt scenic shifts. Attention is also given to the play’s use of incongruous musical styles and its revolutionary political message. In the second part, the article discusses Grieg’s writings on Soviet theater from the mid-1930s. Grieg embraced innovative aspects of Soviet theater at a time when the greatest period of experimentation in post-revolutionary theater was already ending, and Socialist Realism was being imposed. The article briefly discusses Grieg’s controversial pro-Stalinist, anti-fascist position, before concluding that Vår ære og vår makt represents an important instance of Norwegian appropriation of international modernist and avant-garde theater. Keywords: theater; modernism; avant-garde; Norwegian literature 1. Introduction The dramatist, poet, and novelist Nordahl Grieg was in many ways the most internationally oriented Norwegian writer of the first half of the twentieth century. He sailed around the world in late adolescence (in the years after the First World War), he studied at Oxford in the early 1920s, and he published travelogues from Greece and China in the late 1920s.

    ANNOTATED BOOKS RECEIVED 8.2 ANTHOLOGIES Chinese Pollard, David, editor and translator. The Chinese Essay. New York: Columbia University Press, 2002. 372 pp. Paper: $24.50. ISBN 0-231-11219-9. Offering an informative overview of the history of the Chinese essay and succinct introductions to each of the selected writers, Pollard’s collection is a useful reference tool in addition to being a revealing survey of China’s most beloved and influential short nonfiction. Taken together, these writings illuminate Chinese attitudes and reactions to their world, providing us with evocative sketches of everyday life and social interactions. Pollard’s aim has been to translate examples that can stand alone but that also contribute to, or comment upon, the evolution of the essay form in China. David Pollard is a veteran scholar of sinology. He was previously professor of Chinese at the University of London and professor of translation at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he co-edited Renditions, the Chinese-English translation journal, with his wife, Eva Hung.
