    MARINENS ROLLE I NORSK POLARHISTORIE En kort introduksjon fra Marinemuseet i anledning markeringen av polarjubileet 2011 med vekt på ekspedisjonene og deltagerne fra Marinen. Marinemuseet 1 Marinens rolle i norsk polarhistorie “Seier venter den, som har alt i orden - held kalder man det. Nederlag er en absolutt følge for den, som har for- sømt at ta de nødvendige forholdsregler i tide - uheld kaldes det” Roald Amundsen En defi nisjon av hva som faller innenfor polarhistorien kan det være delte meninger om. Oppfatningen av hva som kan regnes inn i begrepet har trolig endret seg noe etter hvert som nye områderområder har blitt funnet og aktivt tatt i bruk. Men de fl este er trolig enige om at Norge har spilt- og fortsatt spiller en viktig rolle i polarhistorien. Kanskje er det til og med riktig å si at vår rolle som polarnasjon har vært- og er en viktig del av vår nasjonale identitet.identitet. Til denne rollen og identiteten kan det knyttes fl ere dimensjoner som av ulike grupper vektlegges forskjellig. Fiske og fangst er en dimensjon, nye sjøveier for handelsskip er en annen og vitenskaplige undersøkelser en tredje. Mest kjent og kanskje også viktigst for mange er likevel de dristige ekspedisjo- nene inn i det ukjente, oppdagelsene av nye områder og selve det å være først.2007 var defi nert som det internasjonale polaråret og fra norsk side ble det igangsatt en rekke vitenskapelige prosjekter som først avsluttes våren 2011. Inneværende år, 2011, har Regjeringen defi nert som Nansen-Amundsen-året. At dette har fått langt større fokus understreker at oppdager-dimensjonen nok er den viktigste for folk fl est.En lang rekke institusjoner jobberjobber med ulike aspekter av polarhistorien og gjennom sine egne publikasjoner og hjemmesider formidles dette til publikum.

  • Monica Kristensen L'ultimo VIAGGIO DI AMUNDSEN
    Monica Kristensen L’ULTIMO VIAGGIO DI AMUNDSEN Traduzione di Sara Culeddu Per consentire al lettore di seguire gli itinerari delle va- rie spedizioni sulla cartina suggerita dall’autrice (topo- svalbard.npolar.no), è stata conservata il più possibile la toponomastica norvegese. Prologo Tromsø, 18 giugno 1928 La stanza era immersa nella penombra, mentre alle finestre la luce del giorno era accecante. La bella villa di tre piani in stile svizzero si trovava a metà della via principale di Tromsø, Storgata, che attraversa tutta la città. Era qui che, all’alba di lunedì 18 giugno 1928, si erano rifugiati il celebre esploratore po- lare Roald Amundsen e il pilota norvegese Leif Dietrichson. Sia giù al molo sia intorno alla vil- la, che aveva il pianterreno tutto occupato dalla farmacia Nordstjerne, si era radunata una folla di gente che chiacchierava animatamente: il vec- chio eroe polare era finalmente arrivato in città. L’idrovolante francese Latham 47 II era at- terrato nello Stretto di Tromsø poco dopo le sei del mattino. Aveva attraccato sul lato orien- tale del canale, accanto al magazzino della compagnia Vestlandske Petroleumskompani, e l’equipaggio – composto da quattro francesi e due norvegesi – aveva raggiunto la terraferma con una scialuppa. A bordo del velivolo era salito un custode, ingaggiato lì a Tromsø, che aveva l’incarico di rimanere sull’idrovolante mentre il personale di bordo si riposava. René Guilbaud, il capo pilota, e Leif Dietrich- son erano personaggi noti nell’ambiente aero- nautico, famosi per la loro destrezza e i loro voli pionieristici, ma era la presenza di Roald Amundsen ad aver scatenato l’eccitazione gene- 10 rale e occupato i titoli dei giornali.

  • Zka´ Za „Italie“ V Literaturˇ E, Filmu a Poezii
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by DSpace at University of West Bohemia Zkáza „Italie v literatuře, filmu a poezii ZKA´ ZA „ITALIE“ V LITERATURˇ E, FILMU A POEZII THE “ITALIA”DISASTER IN LITERATURE, FILM AND POETRY Petr Sla´decˇek ∗ Abstrakt: Článek se zabývá druhým životem výpravy vzducholodi „Italia v českém pro- středí, jejím obrazem v literatuře, filmu a poezii. Pozornost je věnována politickým sou- vislostem. Záchrana „odvážlivců ze země černých košil rudým ledoborcem byla vnímána jako první mírové střetnutí mezi fašismem a komunismem. Od počátku byla tato skutečnost vytěžována politickou propagandou. Způsob nazírání se ale zásadním způsobem proměnil. V roce 1928 byl na stránkách komunistického Rudého práva velitel výpravy generál Umberto Nobile vylíčen v těch nejtemnějších barvách a kritika se snesla i na jeho obhájce, českého účastníka výpravy Františka Běhounka. V 50. letech však tentýž list vychválil Běhounkovu knihu Trosečníci polárního moře, kde byl Nobile, který byl v roce 1946 zvolen na kan- didátce italské komunistické strany do ústavodárného shromáždění, vylíčen naopak jako oběť nevděku italských fašistů. Klíčová slova: František Běhounek, vzducholoď Italia, literatura, poezie, film, Umberto Nobile. Abstract: The article deals with the second life of the expedition of the airship “Italia” in the Czech environment, its image in literature, film and poetry. Attention is given to the po- litical context. Rescue of “daredevils from black shirt country” by red icebreaker was seen as the first peaceful encounter between fascism and communism. Since the beginning, this fact was utilize as political propaganda. But the way of consideration was fundamentally trans- formed. In 1928, the commander of the expedition, General Umberto Nobile, was portrayed in Communist newspapers Rudé právo in the darkest colours.
