Signature and date: 11 February 2017 Our Tropical Home Danish ’Empire Migrants’ in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1917-1945 Pernille Østergaard Hansen European University Institute, 2016 i Abstract In 1917 Denmark sold its Caribbean colony to the United States. At a time when other European empires were promoting social and economic reforms in the colonies, the Danish state was withdrawing. However, the transfer of the islands did not break Danish ties to the former colony. An already established group of Danish companies on the islands – Danish sugar factories, plantation companies, a Danish Bank and The Danish West Indian Company - provided the infrastructure for post-transfer migration. This group of migrants was diverse, consisting of settlers practising as old colonials had done, expatriates working for the private companies and practising Danishness in terms of bourgeoisie – and a small group of inbetweeners, priest, deaconesses, doctors and children, who to a larger degree integrated into local community. Paradoxically, as the Danish state pulled out, a strong narrative of nationality, development and national responsibility had come to underscore the Danish community. As the balance tipped towards a majority of expatriates, the Danish Island community experienced an upheaval in marital practices towards an all-white and all-Danish marriage culture. Although predominantly narrating a tale of Danish homeliness in their cultural and social lives, Island Danes mimicked a global image of tropical whiteness in practise, and repeated practises of the old Danish colonials. The result was a specific Island Danishness, which was a mixture of Danish culture and practises, imperial tropes, bourgeoisie and local elements that increasingly incorporated American culture. For returnees to Denmark the narrative of national homeliness was often amplified. Through their nostalgia and heavy involvement in memory work, they came to form the national-romantic narrative of the colonial past in public memory. In a small window of history, then, a small group of tropical Danes made the islands into ‘home’, and thereby brought a global-imperialistic tendency into Danish colonial history. ii Table of contents List of illustrations 1 Introduction 5 The histories of three little islands 9 Encounters, discourses and the production of difference 17 Tropical whiteness 19 Home and emotion 25 Individual materialisations of discourse 31 Chapter 1: Mother Denmark: National-Imperial Productions of the Empire 43 Life ‘out there’ 46 The developing mission 50 Labour conflict and possible sale 54 The colour question 62 The unbearable lightness of tropical life 68 The empire as home 74 Concluding remarks 79 Chapter 2: Travelling the distance 81 The call of the sun 82 Engines of empire migration 88 Domesticating the islands 94 White housewives 101 Concluding remarks 106 Chapter 3: Tropical Dane-men 109 Becoming white 109 Big ducks 114 iii Homely connections 119 Practising Island Danishness 128 Framing, mimicking, posing 135 Concluding remarks 148 Chapter 4: Fractions and Movements 151 Ways of moving: Settlers and expatriates 153 Dealing with Americanisation 165 Invisible boundaries 170 Inbetweeners 181 Concluding remarks 190 Chapter 5: Intimate Belongings 193 Home agencies 194 Vehicles of emotion: Connections and separations 205 Island Childhoods 209 The empire within the homes 226 Concluding remarks 233 Chapter 6: Nostalgia 235 Tropical playground 236 The loss of an empire 247 Evoking the past 257 Concluding remarks 264 Conclusion: After Empire: Articulated and Unarticulated Homes 267 Danish tropical whiteness between colonization and Americanisation 269 Making the history of our tropical home 273 Studying the persistence of imperial culture 275 Literature and Sources 277 iv List of Illustrations 0.1 Map of U.S. Virgin Islands’ location in the Caribbean, Worldatlas 3 0.2 Map of U.S. Virgin Islands, Worldatlas 3 Chapter 1: 1.1 “Come on boys”, Illustration of Wilson taking over the West Indian children, Klods Hans, 1917 56 Chapter 2: 2.1 The Thage family swimming in the pool on board M/S Europa, Property of Elisabeth Thage 84 2.2 Members of the Thage family playing tennis on board M/S Europa, Property of Elisabeth Thage 84 2.3 Sugar Factory director Adamsen and his wife at Estate Bethlehem a. 1916, Danish National Archives 100 2.4 Pastor Bergh with his wife Kristine, 1911, Danish National Archives 104 2.5 Marie Lawaetz with her island-born child, 1917, Lawaetz Museum 104 Chapter 3: 3.1 “All society girls”, Danish National Archives 112 3.2 Consul Hjalmar Bang with the Danish crown princess and crown prince in 1939, Vore Damer 116 3.3 Members of the Masonic Lodge, The Daily News 1967 118 3.4 Erik von Scholten with his Danish Godmother in 1929, Property of Erik von Scholten 122 3.5 Erik von Scholten at Kirsten Esmann’s birthday in 1933, Property of Erik von Scholten 122 3.6 Visiting Oda and Viggo Wulff in 1930, Property of Erik von Scholten 123 3.7 Bertha Bang sharing her recipes in a Danish magazine a. 1965, Danish West Indian Society 132 3.8 Bank employee Theodor von Scholten in his white dress a. 1930, Property of Erik von Scholten 137 3.9 Carl and Marie Lawaetz with their children and Marie’s sister, Lawaetz Museum 137 3.10 Excursion at the arrival of the trainee-ship “Denmark” a. 1930, Danish West Indian Society 138 3.11 Henry Morton Stanly in his tropical gear, Historical Royal Places 139 3.12 Carl Lawaetz in his tropical uniform, Lawaetz Museum 140 3.13 Plantation Manager Gustav Nordby in front of his house a. 1916, Danish National Archives 140 3.14 Bank director Axel Thage with his brother and family in 1933, Property of Elisabeth Thage 140 3.15 E.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88634-5 - The Image of Europe: Visualizing Europe in Cartography and Iconography throughout the Ages Michael Wintle Frontmatter More information The Image of Europe This is a major new study of visual representations of Europe, from the classical world to the present day, in maps, icons, the arts and graphic images of all kinds. Europe has been variously represented as the demigoddess Europa, a bull, a horse, a son of Noah, a Magus, a queen and the Empress of the World. This richly illustrated book charts how these visualizations of the continent have altered over time; how they interact with changing ideas of the extent and nature of Europe in relation to the other continents; and how these images have influenced and been influenced by the ‘reality’ of Europe. Spanning the ages from the Ancient Greeks to the European Union, this history of three millennia of Europe and its representations is an important contribution to ongoing debates about the nature of European identity. Michael Wintle studied at Cambridge, Hull and Ghent Universities, and now holds the chair of European History at the University of Amsterdam, where he directs the degree programmes in European Studies. His research interests are in European identity and especially the visual representation of Europe, European industrialization and the modern history of the Low Countries. He has published widely on Dutch and European history; recent books include An economic and social history of the Netherlands (2000); The idea of a united Europe (2000); Ideas of Europe since 1914 (2002); Image into identity (2006); and Imagining Europe (2008).

This year the Declaration was officially endorsed also by the UNESCO in the plenary session on 10 November 2011. The Universal Declaration on Archives is currently available in 20 languages on ICA web page (Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish, Welsh) and was developed by ICA/SPA (Section of Professional Associations) on the model of the "Déclaration québécoise des Archives”.This is an important step in improving public understanding of archives, since it provides a splendid opportunity to raise still further awareness of archives among the general public and key decision-makers. The Declaration is a powerful succinct statement of the relevance of archives in modern society. It emphasizes the key role of archives in administrative transparency and democratic accountability, as well as the preservation of collective social memory. The Declaration repositions effective archives management as an essential function which underpins modern public administration, good practice in private business, and ready access to information by citizens. The first version of the Declaration was written by archivists in Québec in 2007.

A. T. HALL THE VICTOR VANQUISHED EMANCIPATION IN ST. CROIXJ ITS ANTECEDENTS AND IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH INTRODUCTION The slave uprising of 2-3 July 1848 in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, belongs to that splendidly isolated category of Caribbean slave revolts which succeeded if, that is, one defines success in the narrow sense of the legal termination of servitude. The sequence of events can be briefly rehearsed. On the night of Sunday 2 July, signal fires were lit on the estates of western St. Croix, estate bells began to ring and conch shells blown, and by Monday morning, 3 July, some 8000 slaves had converged in front of Frederiksted fort demanding their freedom. In the early hours of Monday morning, the governor general Peter von Scholten, who had only hours before returned from a visit to neighbouring St. Thomas, sum- moned a meeting of his senior advisers in Christiansted (Bass End), the island's capital. Among them was Lt. Capt. Irminger, commander of the Danish West Indian naval station, who urged the use of force, including bombardment from the sea to disperse the insurgents, and the deployment of a detachment of soldiers and marines from his frigate (f)rnen. Von Scholten kept his own counsels. No troops were despatched along the arterial Centreline road and, although he gave Irminger permission to sail around the coast to beleaguered Frederiksted (West End), he went overland himself and arrived in town sometime around 4 p.m.

    Nikolaj Bijleveld The Nationalization of Christianity. Theology and Nationalism in Nineteenth- Century Denmark n 1853 the Danish court chaplain Hans Lassen Martensen (1808-1884) wrote to a close friend and colleague the follow- I ing lines: pastors from Schleswig have confided to me, that they have been so involved in politics and language questions that by now they feel hollow and long for a return to theology and strictly religious duties.1 The quotation stems from a letter that had been written during Martensen’s vacation in the duchy of Schleswig, the region of his childhood. He was born in the major city Flensburg in 1808 of a German mother and a Danish-speaking father from Schleswig. The family moved to Copenhagen, where Martensen studied theology at the university. He continued his studies in Berlin and became a 1 H.L. Martensen, Biskop H. Martensens breve. Breve til L. Gude 1848-1859, Vol. 1 [B. Kornerup., ed.], (Copenhagen 1955), nr. 39, 28-7-1853, 87.

  • An Encapsulation of Óðinn: Religious Belief and Ritual Practice Among The
    An Encapsulation of Óðinn: Religious belief and ritual practice among the Viking Age elite with particular focus upon the practice of ritual hanging 500 -1050 AD A thesis presented in 2015 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian Studies at the University of Aberdeen by Douglas Robert Dutton M.A in History, University of Aberdeen MLitt in Scandinavian Studies, University of Aberdeen Centre for Scandinavian Studies The University of Aberdeen Summary The cult surrounding the complex and core Old Norse deity Óðinn encompasses a barely known group who are further disappearing into the folds of time. This thesis seeks to shed light upon and attempt to understand a motif that appears to be well recognised as central to the worship of this deity but one rarely examined in any depth: the motivations for, the act of and the resulting image surrounding the act of human sacrifice or more specifically, hanging and the hanged body. The cult of Óðinn and its more violent aspects has, with sufficient cause, been a topic carefully set aside for many years after the Second World War. Yet with the ever present march of time, we appear to have reached a point where it has become possible to discuss such topics in the light of modernity. To do so, I adhere largely to a literary studies model, focussing primarily upon eddic and skaldic poetry and the consistent underlying motifs expressed in conjunction with descriptions of this seemingly ritualistic act. To these, I add the study of legal and historical texts, linguistics and contemporary chronicles.

The business archives organized privately 20 years ago in Aarhus, now boasting about 6,000 running meters of archives and a library of about 19,000 volumes, were taken over by the state on October 1, 1962. The core of the collection consists of deposits from nationwide economic organizations, but there have been accessions also from numerous smaller private enterprises. The law authorizing this transfer to public administration provides for a board of five to seven members, including the national archivist and two or three representatives each from the business world and from the universities. A chief archivist administers the institution and is a nonvoting member of the board. Financial support is guaranteed by law and is to be provided for in the regular budget. The archives may also solicit private support for special projects and for the increase of its research funds.

The Case of Harlequin Enterprises and Sweden. Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala. Publications from the Section for Sociology of Literature at the Department of Literature, Uppsala University, 38. 272 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-85178-28-4. English text. This dissertation deals with the Canadian category publisher Harlequin Enterprises. Operating in a hundred markets and publishing in twenty-four languages around the world, Harlequin Enterprises exempliıes the increasingly transnational character of publishing and the media. This book takes the Stockholm-based Scandinavian subsidiary Förlaget Harlequin as a case-study to analyze the complexities involved in the transposition of Harlequin romances from one cultural context into another. Using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches it is argued that the local process of translation and editing – here referred to as transediting – has a fundamental impact on how the global book becomes local.
