Når han blevet lidt mere moderate, dels gennem intern konkurrence på det skriver, at rejse er at leve, så var det fordi hans rejser var fyldt med ind- grønlandske flymarked, dels som følge af den almindelige udvikling i hold og nær kontakt til de lokale miljøer, som han besøgte.

  • Norden, Reframed
    Norden, Reframed By Stuart Burch Abstract This paper calls for Norden to be understood as a metaframe. Related formulations like “Nordic art” or “Nordic welfare” function as mesoframes. These trigger multiple framing devices. A cache of related framing devices constitutes a framing archive. Framing devices work best when operating unobtrusively such that inclusions, exclusions and inconsistencies are condoned or naturalised. Their artifice, however, becomes apparent whenever a frame is questioned. Questioning or criticising a frame gives rise to a framing dispute. The theoretical justification for these typologies is provided at the outset. This schema is then applied to a select range of empirical examples drawn largely from the disciplinary frames (Ernst 1996) of art history and museum studies. Despite this specificity it is envisaged that the general principles set out below can and will be used to address a variety of devices, disputes and archives in Norden and beyond. Keywords: Art, Baltic, frame, framing, museum, Norden, Nordic, Scandinavia. Burch, Stuart: “Norden, Reframed”, Culture Unbound, Volume 2, 2010: 565–581. Hosted by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se Setting the Frames The literature on framing is as vast as it is amorphous (Entman et al. 2008: 175). This is ironic given that the very purpose of a frame is to bring order and focus. A frame is a filter, seeking to include only that which is deemed to be relevant whilst excluding or marginalising all else (Bateson 1954: 187; Schön & Rein 1994: 26; Snow 2004: 384). Some of the ways in which this operates in practice are explored by Erving Goffman in his seminal book Frame Analysis first published in 1974.

Grænseforeningen (The Border association) Aim: Through public education Grænseforeningen want to maintain support for the cultural work of the Danish minority in South Schleswig. The Danish minority in Germany comprises about 50,000 people, organized in a rich social life. There are approx. 50 schools, as many kindergartens, also churches, libraries, widespread associations, clubs, a Danish newspaper (Flensburg Avis) and a Danish minded political party, the SSW. The Danish minority receives an annual state subsidy from Denmark of around 520 million. DKK (70 mio €) for the operation of its cultural institutions, etc. Grænseforeningen is the civil support behind this grant. Started after the 1st World War when the Danish minortiy was recognized Activities carried out Since 1919, hundreds of South Schleswig schoolchildren each year have been on a holiday in Denmark. Today the task is of a pedagogical nature: the German children learn about Danish conditions, culture and language. It is now seen as a cultural exchange based on the assumption that both the German and the Danish children benefit greatly from getting to know each other. The program is runned by volunteers. Lobbying activities – Protesting against increased border control etc. 2. Kulturbro (Cultural Bridge) The objective of Kulturbro-Kulturbrücke is to promote cross- border cultural cooperation in the broad sense. The project provides a common fund for innovative cross-border micro- projects. It gives project organizers the motivation to think about their projects "across the border”.

  • Et Uforenlig Norden?
    Et uforenlig Norden? Nøytralt samarbeid under første verdenskrig, 1914-1918 Robin Lien Masteroppgave i historie Institutt for arkeologi, historie, kultur- og religionsvitenskap Universitetet i Bergen våren 2019 ii Abstract Under conflicts preceding the First World War, neutrals have on several occasions acted in unison to collectively enforce their neutral rights, and to insure their commerce at sea. Even in the form of armed neutrality leagues have non-belligerents strived to protect their interests during wartime. This pattern did not repeat itself during the First World War. This thesis aims to explore why the Nordic neutrals did not follow this pattern when confronted with the violations brought upon them by the total war. Based primarily on primary sources, this thesis will present examples of cooperative neutrality and attempts at cooperative neutrality between 1914 and 1918. Historians have not devoted much resources to answer why a collective block of neutrals did not materialize itself during the Great War. In the case of the Scandinavian countries, this solution to belligerent pressure has been deemed unattainable due to the nation’s separate interests. This thesis will by no means try to disprove this consensus. However, it will attempt to shed more light on the matter. By analysing the separate initiatives put forward by the Nordic governments and by the private sphere, it will unveil that the pattern of previous collective enforcement was attempted, before it was hindered from getting repeated. With the downfall of international law as context, this thesis will show that there were many contributing factors to the failure of Scandinavian, neutral cooperation during the war.

  • Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction Swedish nurse: hon ringde te maj i morges, hon kunde inte finna sina dörrnycklar när hon skulle gå ti skolan she called me this morning, she couldn’t find her doorkeys when she was leaving for school Danish patient: hendes: ø:h? her uhm Nurse: dörrnöjle door key [Danish] Nurse: nycklarna the keys [Swedish] Patient: nå nøglen til døren ja oh the key to the door I see Nurse: jahh yes Ridell (2008:129), my translation in italics Native speakers of Danish and Swedish can generally communicate with each other using their native languages. The two languages are closely related and generally mutually intelligible. However, as anecdotally illustrated in the conversation above, which was recorded at a Danish nursing home, this theoretical possibility is not always entirely successful. Given that Danish and Swedish have been regarded as separate languages for several hundred years, this is not entirely surprising. What is striking about the success and failure of Danish-Swedish oral communication, however, is the fact that the mutual intelligibility between spoken Danish and Swedish is asymmetrical. Danes tend to encounter fewer problems when they hear a Swedish person speak Swedish, than vice versa. This is a surprising tendency, as from a purely phonetic point of view, one could state that native (L1) speakers of Danish encounter the same sort of problems when they are confronted with spoken Swedish as the other way around, because the phonetic distance between the items in the two languages must be symmetrical. This thesis investigates which factors cause the asymmetry in mutual intelligibility of spoken Danish and Swedish and thereby hopes to shed some light on which factors influence mutual intelligibility between closely related languages in particular and spoken language recognition in general.

Faroe Islands (Føroyar) Jan Sørensen, Johanna Roto, and Håkan Tunón 8.1 Setting the scene The Faroe Islands (Faroes) is an archipelago consisting of 18 islands about halfway between Norway and Iceland, 320 kilometres north-northwest of Scotland (62°00′N 06°47′W). The islands cover a land area of 1,400 km². The maritime economic zone is approximately 274,000 km². Figure 79: Map over the case study area Source: ESA 2010 and UCLouvain, EuSeaMap consortium 2012. 50,000 people live in the Faroes. The settlement structure with small often isolated villages, larger regional towns and a dominant capital city is characteristic in the Faroes. Some 20,000 people live in the capital region of Tórshavn. In total, there are 115 villages in the Faroe Islands, of which 58 have less than 100 inhabitants. Figure 80: Tórshavn, the picturesque capital of the Faroe Islands Photo: Håkan Tunón, 2017. The language spoken is Faroese (Føroyskt) and belongs to the West Scandinavian group of the North Germanic languages. Danish has the same legal status as Faroese on the islands. The Faroe Islands are fundamentally dependent on the sea and on marine resources. The economy is almost entirely based on offshore fisheries and aquaculture. In 2016 the total export was approximately EUR 1 million, of which 96% was fish, mostly chilled or frozen.
