Jørgen Haave The Ibsen family This book deals with Henrik Ibsen’s relations to his family and to his native town Skien, concentrating on his childhood and adolescence. The prevailing view has been that Henrik Ibsen had a miserable childhood. His father was allegedly an alcoholic who had a difficult relation to his son, characterized by conflicts. It has also been claimed that he lost his family fortune due to drinking and extravagant manners. And when the money was gone, the Ibsens had to move to a derelict, small farm, where they were forced to live as poor farmers. This fall down the Museumsforlaget 2017 352 pages social ladder made Henrik’s father even more thirsty and short-tempered, making his Original title: Familien Ibsen son ashamed of his lack of character. FOREIGN RIGHTS The author of this book, Jørgen Haave, has an alternative explanation to Henrik’s Museumsforlaget strained relations to his family. The bankruptcy was not a result of his father’s drinking Kjøpmannsgata 23 and excessive spending, but can be attributed to the development of the modern and NO-7013 Trondheim democratic constitutional state of Norway in the period 1814–1905. Moreover, stories Norway +47 47 47 87 47 from people who knew Henrik Ibsen as a child are not in accordance with the concept of the poor, outcast boy. They tell about a boy who was spoilt by his father, a boy who liked to spend creative time on his own, and a boy who provoked other children with his aloofness and arrogance. Jørgen Haave The author, Jørgen Haave, has been working at the Henrik Ibsen Museum in Skien since 2008. A literary scholar by education, he currently holds the post as curator at the Telemark Museum. With this book, he aims at solving some of the enigmas in Henrik Ibsen’s biography. What did actually happen when the family fortune disappeared? Why did Henrik Ibsen disassociate himself from his siblings and parents? And why did he never return to Skien after leaving the town at a young age?

Dickens After Dickens, Pp
CHAPTER 2 Nordic Dickens: Dickensian Resonances in the Work of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson Kathy Rees, Wolfson College, University of Cambridge On 19 March 1870, the Illustrated London News reported on the last of Charles Dickens’s farewell readings at St. James’s Hall (‘Mr. Chas Dickens’s Farewell Reading’ 301). Three weeks later, Norsk Folkeblad featured this same article, translated into Norwegian (‘Charles Dickens’s Sidste Oplaesning’ 1). At that time, the editor of Norsk Folkeblad was the 38-year-old journalist, novelist, and playwright Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. He recognised the importance of this event and, unlike his English counterpart, he made it front-page news. Bjørnson reproduced both the iconic image of the famous writer at his reading desk and the words of Dickens’s brief curtain speech wherein he bade farewell to his adoring public. Dickens’s novels and journals had long been widely read in Norway, first in German and French translations, later in Danish or Swedish. Sketches by Boz (1836) was popular because of its representation of English customs, especially among the lower classes: one of its tales, ‘Mr Minns and his Cousin’, was included on the English syllabus of Norwegian schools from as early as 1854 (Rem 413). American Notes (1842) was also much discussed on account of the rising numbers of Norwegian emigrants crossing the Atlantic.1 Written Danish and Norwegian were virtually the same language in the How to cite this book chapter: Rees, K. 2020.

Telemark Museum Som Arkivinstitusjon
Tidsvinduer Telemark Museum som arkivinstitusjon Evig eies kun det arkiverte? Håndskrevne, trykte, tegnede eller fotografiske dokumenter er spor etter menneskers virksomhet i fortiden. De gir oss ingen direkte tilgang til fortiden. Vi må lese, tolke og sette den informasjonen de gir inn i en sammenheng. Likevel kan vi få en umid- delbar opplevelse av fortidens stemninger ved å kikke på gamle bilder og bla i brev og lese gamle aviser. Da blir dokumentene små tidsvinduer. Men hvilken virkelighet ser vi gjennom vinduet? De fleste mennesker og spor etter deres liv finner sjelden veien til et arkiv, utenom kanskje et par innførsler i en kirkebok; navn, dåpsdato og dødsdato. Men kanskje finner vi disse ukjente menneskene i arkivene likevel om vi kikker nærmere etter? På bildet fra et travelt handelstorg, i publikum en sensommerkveld i Brekkeparken, i avisens opplysninger om stormende heiarop på tribunene når Odd vant en viktig hjemmekamp? «Fortiden er et annet land» har historikeren David Lowenthal uttalt. Kanskje er det følelsen av å betrakte en fremmed, eksotisk og ukjent verden som er sterkest? Eller kanskje er det følelsen av gjenkjennelse og sammenheng? «Fortiden er ikke hva den engang var» sier en annen historiker, Knut Kjeldstadli. For hva er egentlig «fortiden», annet enn summen av alle menneskers levde liv, individuelt og som samfunn. Fortiden endrer seg ikke, men bildene våre av fortiden endrer seg og vil endre seg, alt etter hvilke tidsvinduer vi benytter og hvordan vi forstår og tolker det vi ser. På gamle fotografier kan vi se et menneskes ansikt formet av levd liv, men ikke få vite noe om hvordan det livet artet seg.

Abstract: For Den Nationale Scene’s Peer Gynt, directed by Kjersti Horn, audiences were promised a ‘controversial, vital and nightmarish version of the original play’, an experience of it ‘from a completely new angle’, as well as a show which speaks to universal human concerns. This review evaluates the extent to which these two objectives were achieved, with particular reference to ongoing European politics and the aesthetic traditions of contemporary European theatre.

Henrik Ibsen's Use Of
Henrik Ibsen’s use of ‘Friluftsliv’. by Dag T. Elgvin Presented at the conference: «Henrik Ibsen: The birth of ‘friluftsliv’ – a 150 years Celebration», North Trøndelag University College, Sept. 14th – 19th 2009 Summary This paper intends to explore Henrik Ibsen's concept of "Friluftsliv", as he incorporated it into his writing. Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is probably best known for his plays, which cast light over existential human issues. Freedom in life and obligations in marriage society, how one chooses right from wrong, and how one realizes his own talents and abilities, all are fundamental in his works. The concept "Friluftsliv" appears no more than two times in his writings, once in a play and once in a poem. 1 Both were written in a period when Ibsen was struggling to find his life's purpose. The poem "On The Heights" is considered to have a biographical strain (Hemmer, 2003). The poem's main character chooses a free life in the wilds of nature and away from the village in which he grew up. Ibsen chose to be a writer, to experience his freedom in this fashion, instead of following the wishes of his father, a pharmacist, who wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. In fact, Ibsen moved from Norway to Italy in 1864, when he was 36 years old, where he lived for 27 years. Henrik Ibsen's meaning with "Friluftsliv" might best be interpreted as the total appreciation of the experience one has when communing with the natural environment, not for sport or play, but for its value in the development of one's entire spiritual and physical being.

Dato 21/06845-3 16.06.2021 Telemark Museum/Brekkeparken Kafé – bekreftelse på mottatt tilbakemelding og avslutning av tilsynssak Miljørettet helsevern i Grenland gjennomførte 08.05.2021 i samarbeid med Arbeidstilsynet uanmeldt tilsyn ved Telemark Museum sine kaféer i Brekkeparken. Vi viser til tilsynsrapport med varsel om vedtak datert 20.05.2021. Hensikten med tilsynet var å vurdere om serveringsstedene har tilrettelagt for en smittevernfaglig forsvarlig drift under koronapandemien. Tilsynet ble gjennomført iht. folkehelseloven kap. 3, covid-19- forskriften, forskrift om forebygging av koronasmitte, Skien kommune av 06.05.2021 samt forskrift om miljørettet helsevern. Under tilsynet ble det avdekket to avvik og en anmerkning. Det ble gitt en frist for uttalelse til varselet til 31.05.2021. Telemark Museum ved administrasjonssjef Siv Dyrkolbotn har muntlig per telefon samt i mail av 28.05.2021 gitt en tilbakemelding med beskrivelse av hvilke tiltak som er iverksatt for å rette avvikene som ble varslet i brev av 20.05.2021. Det er også gitt en beskrivelse på hvordan virksomheten har fulgt opp anmerkningen vedrørende manglende avstand mellom kunder i kø ved den nye kaféen. Virksomheten har iverksatt nødvendige tiltak for å sikre at det er minst 1 meters avstand mellom alle sitteplassene i kaféene samt 2 meters avstand mellom alle bord/kohorter. På bakgrunn av mottatt tilbakemelding fra virksomheten om at de varslede avvikene er rettet vil det ikke bli fattet vedtak i saken. Tilsynssaken kan derfor avsluttes og vi ønsker lykke til med den videre driften.

Ibsen´S Childhood Home Venstøp Near Skien HENRIK
Ibsen´s childhood home Venstøp near Skien HENRIK IBSEN (1828-1906) The dramatist Henrik Ibsen published his last drama, "When We Dead Awaken", in 1899, and he called it a dramatic epilogue. It was also destined to be the epilogue of his life´s work, because illness prevented him from writing more. For half of a century he had devoted his life and his energies to the art of drama, and he had won international acclaim as the greatest and most influential dramatist of his time. He knew that he had gone further than anyone in putting Norway on the map. Henrik Ibsen was also a major poet, and he published a collection of poems in 1871. However, drama was the focus of his real lyrical spirit. For a period of many hard years, he faced bitter opposition. But he finally triumphed over the conservatism and aesthetic prejudices of the contemporary critics and audiences. More than anyone, he gave theatrical art a new vitality by bringing into European bourgeois drama an ethical gravity, a psychological depth, and a social significance which the theatre had lacked since the days of Shakespeare. In this manner, Ibsen strongly contributed to giving European drama a vitality and artistic quality comparable to the ancient Greek tragedies. It is from this perspective we view his contribution to theatrical history. His realistic contemporary drama was a continuation of the European tradition of tragic plays. In these works he portrays people from the middle class of his day. These are people whose routines are suddenly upset as they are confronted with a deep crisis in their lives.
