  • Enfranchised Are the Norwegian Citizens
    § Enfranchised are the Norwegian Citizens 11th June 2013 marks the hundred year anniversary of Norwegian women being granted the vote on equal terms with men. To celebrate this milestone, the Storting is staging an exhibition in the Historical Hall. The exhibition displays documents from the Archives of the Storting and photographs about the battle for the vote. 1 1814–1886 NORWEGIAN CITIZENS OF THE MALE SEX The Constitution of 17th May 1814 gave Norwegian citizens the right to vote on certain conditions. In practice, the vote was limited to a small section of the population. For one thing, the term «Norwegian citizens» did not include women. In 1818 the Storting debated whether the Article on the Right to Vote should be clarified by the words «Norwegian Citizens of the Male Sex». However, it was concluded that the meaning of the term was unequivocal. It was not until the end of the 1880s that the demand for women’s suffrage really gathered pace. Changes in the law had paved the way for greater freedom and independence for women, the women’s movement grew, and several women’s associations were established. The Women’s Suffrage Association was established in 1885, and the first women’s suffrage proposal was put forward in the Storting the following year. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway of 17th May 1814.

On Wednesday, April 1, 2015, the ex- hibit, “Brooklyn/Norway: A Visual Interpre- tation,” opened at the Danish Athletic Club. It is the first known exhibit that the Danish Club has held in its over 120-year history. This exhibit focused on the perceptions locals from Brooklyn and Norway have about the other, whether realistic, mythologi- cal, or somewhere in between. Both places serve as symbols of exotica, but for differ- ent reasons. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines exotica as “things excitingly differ- ent or unusual.” Today, Brooklyn epitomizes hip or cool worldwide, whether warranted or not. Meanwhile Norway remains a place of Caucasian exotica, unknown by most due to its geographic distance from much of the world and its small population, (a little over five million today).

  • General Council
    . .MINUTES. OF THE ♦ Twenty-Fifth Convention OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America, HELD IN St. John’s Church, Easton, Pa., OCTOBER 9-15, A. D. 1895. MILWAUKEE: King-Fowle-McGee Co., Printers. 1895. The City of Easton, Pa., is situated at the confluence of the Le¬ high and Delaware rivers. It has a population of about fifteen thou¬ sand, and there are as many more in the adjoining towns of South Easton, Pa., and Phillipsburg, N. J. In these communities there are nine Lutheran Churches—English and German—of which the oldest is St. John’s, Easton. Organized in 1740 as a German Church, St. John’s became entirely English, when, in 1872, Zion’s German Church was established. St. John’s owns a venerable Church building, on Ferry street, near Fourth. It has also a model Sunday-school building, or chapel. It is the strongest Lutheran parish in the city. Half a block away is Christ Church, and at Eleventh and Ferry, St. Luke’s, both English churches. These congregations, in conjunction with St. Paul’s, South Eas¬ ton, and Grace and St. John’s, Phillipsburg, N. J., united in enter¬ taining the General Council. They are all connected with the Allen¬ town Conference of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania. The lower Lehigh Valley, with its rich agricultural counties and numerous manufacturing cities, such as Bethlehem, Allentown and Catasauqua, is a Lutheran stronghold. MINUTES. OPENING SERVICE.

In physical terms, power from shore, or electrification, is the use of electrical energy from the Norwegian mainland to replace emission-intensive gas turbines that are producing electricity on the continental shelf. The ambition is to mitigate emissions from the extraction process. This thesis is a qualitative study of bureaucratic documents that seeks to answer the question: What is power from shore? Drawing on resources and insights from Science and Technology Studies, this open question is answered by studying the ordering of power from shore within Norwegian climate politics. The materials studied is a report series from the Norwegian public administration that includes three reports spanning from 1997 to 2008, as well as a political process from 2014 where the Norwegian parliament demanded electrification of the upcoming oil-fields on the Utsira High, a geological formation in the sea 200 km off the west coast of Norway.

Dernest vil jeg takke professor Hilde Sandvik som var min veileder i første del av masterstudiet. Takk, Hilde, for at du inspirerte meg til å skrive om det internasjonale arbeidet til kvinnebevegelsen! Jeg vil også takke kollokviegruppene til Sandvik og Hagemann for støtte og lesing underveis, samt øvrige medstudenter på masterprogrammet. Spesielt vil jeg takke Linn Annette Lund Thorsen, og Miriam Finset for verdifulle innspill og korrekturlesing. De ansatte ved spesiallesesalene på Gunnerusbiblioteket i Trondheim og Nasjonalbiblioteket i Oslo fortjener også takk. Familien min skal også ha en stor takk. Min mor Jørun, min bror Sivert og kjæresten min Henrik har på ulike vis bidratt med oppmuntring, råd og lesing i løpet av prosessen. Jeg vil også takke onkel Olav og Bodil for støtte under de mange arkivreisene til Trondheim. I tillegg vil jeg rette en spesiell takk til Solveig Onsøien og Anders Svensson. Uten deres hjelp hadde ikke dette blitt noe av.

The project aims to uncover not only which images and imaginings were made, but also the lasting impact of these images on the Nordic nations in relation to the status of women. As the Nordic nations are perpetuated as a heaven for women, this thesis aims to explore when and how these images were first constructed in order to tell the origin story of the ‘policy of engagement’ which the Nordic nations – especially Norway – exercise today. v vi Preface I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude towards my supervisor Eirinn Larsen without whom a project such as this would - for me - have been an unobtainable feat. I would like to thank you for your patience, guidance and mentorship. The past year has taught me more about the of craft of writing history, than the four years preceding it; and I am forever grateful for the skills I have acquired, however unrefined they might be.
