Research Committee 36 Alienation Theory and Research Research Committee 36 Alienation Theory and Research RC36 Newsletter 29 June 2011 vol. 9 No. 29 C O N T E N T - A Letter from the RC 36 President 2 - Call for Paper - RC36 and RC38 Interim Conference “Beyond Alienation and Integration: Social Issues and Movements” in Curitiba/ Brazil (24 -25.07.2011) 4 - ISA Forum 2012 in Buenos Aires/ Argentinia 7 - Paper to the XVII ISA World Congress of Sociology, Gothenburg, Sand, Hans Petter 2010: „Reopening a National Wound” 8 - RC 36 Officers and Board Members 20 1 A letter from the RC 36 President Dear friends, colleagues and members of RC36: Our RC has had a new leadership group for a half year now after our successful conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, last summer. The honor and responsibility of continuing our Committee's traditions of good leadership fell on me as the fourth president of RC 36. Some of you may remember reading in the Newsletter that our previous President, Lauren Langman, introduced me as his successor by emphasizing that he has known me for many years. However, knowing the traditions and officers of our Committee does not make my job any easier, for following such past RC 36 presidents as Lauren Langman, Devorah Kalekin-Fishman, and Felix Geyer is as much an honor as it is a challenge. Lauren also contrasted my "organizational skills" with his "personal chaos and disorganization," which supposedly constituted an obstacle for him doing the job. But I am not sure whether a victory over chaos is what has made RC 36 successful through the years, especially if one regards chaos in a Durkheimian sense as the necessary "evil" from which all good emerges. My impression is rather that our Committee's history of successful leadership should not be described in such terms since one of its constant features has been a sense of calling that makes such service a task more demanding than most academic positions. As we move forward, perhaps the biggest challenge we face is to preserve the true spirit of our Committee. This involves renewing our research theme, supporting the motivation of our membership for high scholarly achievement, encouraging a sense of intellectual responsibility in a troubled world, creating a feeling of friendship amongst ourselves, and fostering the awareness that we belong to an important scholarly community. I believe that the new leadership of RC 36 possesses the necessary commitment to the cause of sociology as a science which possesses a dignified intellectual goal and an important social function. But in order for the new leadership to succeed in its endeavors, it will be necessary that you give the elected officers your trust and support, as you have always done in the past. As you already know, the two immediate tasks facing us are our interim conference this coming July in Curitiba, Brazil, and our participation in the Second ISA Forum ("Social Justice and Democratization") in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in August 2012. I would like to thank all of you who 2 have already sent in your abstracts for Curitiba as well as those who have informed us you are interested in coming but have not yet sent them in. Please note the deadlines and details concerning these two events, which have been published in the Newsletter – particularly the fact that the deadline for submitting abstracts for Curitiba has been extended to 30 March. The Board of RC36 has chosen not to organize regular sessions for the 40th World Congress of the International Institute of Sociology (IIS), which will take place in Delhi, India, 16-19 February 2012. We regret having to take this decision not only because the Congress topic ("After Western Hegemony: Social Science and Its Publics") is of particular interest to us, but also because we have been regular participants in IIS events over the years. It appeared that most of our members would likely not be able to be away from their universities during February in order to attend a conference. It also seemed likely that many of us might not be able to attend both the Delhi IIS Congress and the Buenos Aires ISA Forum in one and the same year. We gave our preference to the ISA event because the growing number of RCs that will participate in it promises to make the Forum a virtual ISA World Congress. However, I encourage all of you who have the opportunity to be in Delhi to submit abstracts and join existing sessions. It is also possible for you to organize sessions of our own. Please let us know if you will be there so that we can keep track of all the events in which our members cooperate with the IIS. I hope that the renowned beauty of the conference venues we have chosen for the next two years may help motivate you to join in. We trust that your indoor conference experiences will be at least as rewarding and exciting as your outdoor experiences will certainly be. I look forward to receiving your abstracts for Curitiba and your session proposals for Buenos Aires, and also to meeting with you in either the one, or the other, or perhaps even both cities! With best regards, Vessela Misheva 3 Call for Paper RC36 and RC38 Interim Conference “Beyond Alienation and Integration: Social Issues and Movements” (Curitiba/ Brazil – 24 -25.07.2011) The Research Committee on Alienation Theory and Research (RC36) and the Research Committee on Social Movements, Collective Action and Social Change (RC 48) are jointly organizing a two-day interim conference in Curitiba, Brazil, in conjunction with the XV Congress of the Brazilian Sociological Association.

RC36 invites interested members and researchers to submit proposals for sessions dealing with questions of theoretical and empirical significance for the field. The proposal should include the name and the contact information of the session organizer, a session title, and an abstract of approximately 200 words that clarifies the session’s theme and the type of research interests which it in particular will address. Proposals for sessions which deal with the interpretation of classical perspectives, encourage the discussion of modern forms of alienation, or offer cross-national and comparative perspectives on the varieties and forms of alienation on personal, organizational, and societal levels in the contemporary world are equally welcomed. Also of interest are proposals for joint sessions to be held in cooperation with another ISA Research Committee. Session proposals are to be submitted by 15 June 2011 Please send your session proposal by e-mail (address given below) to Vessela Misheva ([email protected]), who will serve as RC36 Program Coordinator for the 2012 ISA Forum and Cc to Dirk Michel Schertges ([email protected]). Please note that if your proposal is approved you are expected to organize the session and serve as its convener and chair.

  • Markens Grøde (1917) I Et Bokhistorisk Perspektiv
    MARKENS GRØDE (1917) I ET BOKHISTORISK PERSPEKTIV Ståle Dingstad Sammendrag: Markens Grøde (1917) forbindes gjerne med Hamsuns periode som jordbruker på Hamarøy og knyttes nært til nordlandsnaturen. Det er ikke helt galt, men et godt stykke fra sannheten. For det var sørover Hamsun flyttet da han ikke orket mer av jordbrukslivet nordpå. Og det var til byen Larvik i Vestfold fylke han reiste der han bosatte seg med familien og fullførte romanen. Artikkelen forsøker å belyse noen av rammebetingelsene for fullføringen av romanen. Det er betingelser knyttet til tid, sted og mennesker i nærmiljøet gjennom våren, sommeren og høsten 1917. Grenselandet der Hamsun leide seg et uthus for å arbeide, heter Nanset og lå mellom bykommunen Larvik og landkommunen Hedrum. Videre tar artikkelen for seg distribusjonen og resepsjonen av romanen og noen av de konsekvensene som fulgte med tildelingen av Nobels litteraturpris i 1920 for denne romanen. Av særlig interesse er det å undersøke hvilken virkning romanen hadde gjennom mellomkrigstiden med hensyn til den rasismen og antisemittismen som kommer til uttrykk i romanen. Mens flere anmeldere sluttet seg til Hamsuns synspunkter, advarte anmelderen Carl Joachim Hambro som den eneste, mot Hamsuns tenkemåte. Den belyses derfor nærmere gjennom møtet med handelsmannen Aron i romanen og Hamsuns nabo på Nanset, Israel Leib Sachnowitz. Abstract Growth of the Soil (1917) is usually associated with Hamsun’s period as a farmer on Hamarøy and is closely connected to the nature of Nordland. That is not completely wrong, but far from the truth, as Hamsun moved south when he grew tired of the farming life up North.

  • Knut Hamsun at the Movies in Transnational Contexts
    KNUT HAMSUN AT THE MOVIES IN TRANSNATIONAL CONTEXTS Arne Lunde This article is a historical overview that examines how the literary works of Knut Hamsun have been adapted into films over the past century. This “Cook’s Tour” of Hamsun at the movies will trace how different national and transnational cinemas have appropri- ated his novels at different historical moments. This is by no means a complete and exhaustive overview. The present study does not cite, for example, Hamsun films made for television or non-feature length Hamsun films. Thus I apologize in advance for any favorite Hamsun-related films that may have been overlooked. But ideally the article will address most of the high points in the international Hamsun filmography. On the subject of the cinema, Hamsun is famously quoted as having said in the 1920s: “I don’t understand film and I’m at home in bed with the flu” (Rottem 2). Yet while Hamsun was volun- tarily undergoing psychoanalysis in Oslo in 1926, he writes to his wife Marie about wishing to learn to dance and about going to the movies more (Næss 129). Biographer Robert Ferguson reports that in 1926, Hamsun began regularly visiting the cinemas in Oslo “taking great delight in the experience, particularly enjoying adventure films and comedies” (Ferguson 286). So we have the classic Hamsun paradox of conflicting statements on a subject, in this case the movies. Meanwhile, it is also important to remember that the films that Hamsun saw in 1926 would still have been silent movies with intertitles and musical accompaniment, and thus his poor hearing would not have been an impediment to his enjoyment.

  • Gyldendal Norsk Forlag Asas Erverv Av Bokhandlere
    Konkurranseloven § 3-11 - Gyldendal Norsk Forlag ASAs erverv av bokhandlere A1999-17 03.12.99 Konkurranseloven § 3-11 - Gyldendal Norsk Forlag ASAs erverv av bokhandlere Sammendrag: Gyldendal Norsk Forlag ASA (GNF) inngikk i begynnelsen av juli 1999 avtaler om kjøp av bokhandlene i Dahl Libris gruppen AS, Fritjof Brun Bokhandel AS og Quist Bok - og papirhandel AS. Samlet sett utgjorde ervervet 38 bokhandlere som alle er medlemmer i Libris AS. De ervervede bokhandlere stod for ca. 40 % av omsetningen i Libris-kjeden i 1998. Etter Konkurransetilsynets vurdering har GNF markedsmakt i forlags- og distribusjonsleddet som følge av et betydelig felleseie med H.Aschehoug & Co AS. Tilsynet mener videre at flere av de ervervede bokhandlerne hadde markedsmakt i sine lokale markedet. Etter tilsynets vurdering gir imidlertid ikke GNFs erverv av bokhandlere grunnlag for inngrep etter krrl. § 3-11. Hovedårsaken til dette er at ervervet ikke øker konsentrasjonen på forlags- eller bokhandlernivå og at det bare omfatter bokhandlere med en markedsandel på under 10 % av det totale bokhandel-markedet. Det finnes heller ikke etableringshindringer av vesentlig betydning i dette markedet. Etter tilsynets vurdering er det derfor lite sannsynlig at forlaget kan utnytte markedsmakt i bokhandler-leddet på en måte som vil føre til eller forsterke en vesentlig begrensning av konkurransen i strid med formålet i krrl. § 1-1. Selv om det ikke var grunnlag for inngrep, understreket likevel tilsynet at som følge av blant annet den høye eierandelen som GNF får i Libris og som gir forlaget betydelig informasjon om og innflytelse i detaljistleddet, vil Konkurransetilsynet nøye vurdere eventuelle ytterligere bokhandlerkjøp som GNF foretar seg, i forhold til krrl.

  • Modernism and Fascism in Norway by Dean N. Krouk A
    Catastrophes of Redemption: Modernism and Fascism in Norway By Dean N. Krouk A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mark Sandberg, Chair Professor Linda Rugg Professor Karin Sanders Professor Dorothy Hale Spring 2011 Abstract Catastrophes of Redemption: Modernism and Fascism in Norway by Dean N. Krouk Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian University of California, Berkeley Professor Mark Sandberg, Chair This study examines selections from the work of three modernist writers who also supported Norwegian fascism and the Nazi occupation of Norway: Knut Hamsun (1859- 1952), winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize; Rolf Jacobsen (1907-1994), Norway’s major modernist poet; and Åsmund Sveen (1910-1963), a fascinating but forgotten expressionist figure. In literary studies, the connection between fascism and modernism is often associated with writers such as Ezra Pound or Filippo Marinetti. I look to a new national context and some less familiar figures to think through this international issue. Employing critical models from both literary and historical scholarship in modernist and fascist studies, I examine the unique and troubling intersection of aesthetics and politics presented by each figure. After establishing a conceptual framework in the first chapter, “Unsettling Modernity,” I devote a separate chapter to each author. Analyzing both literary publications and lesser-known documents, I describe how Hamsun’s early modernist fiction carnivalizes literary realism and bourgeois liberalism; how Sveen’s mystical and queer erotic vitalism overlapped with aspects of fascist discourse; and how Jacobsen imagined fascism as way to overcome modernity’s culture of nihilism.

  • Hamsun and Tammsaare1
    354 INTERLITT ERA RIA 2018, 23/2: 354–366 KÕVAMEES Variations on a Motive: Hamsun and Tammsaare1 ANNELI KÕVAMEES Abstract. In 1935 Ma armastasin sakslast (I Loved a German) was published. In 1928 Victoria (1898) by Knut Hamsun (1859–1952) was published in Estonian. The first was written and the second translated by A. H. Tammsaare (1878– 1940). Parallels between these two authors have been most often discussed in connection with Pan (1894) and Kõrboja peremees (The Master of Kõrboja, 1922). Both authors have earned their canonical position in literature thanks to the novels Markens Grøde (Growth of the Soil) (1917), in the case of Hamsun, and Tõde ja õigus (Truth and Justice, I–V, 1926–1933) in the case of Tammsaare. These novels have been “sorted out” to be included in the canon, while Ma armastasin sakslast and Victoria have not received as much attention. In both novels love is the central theme – in Hamsun’s novel the main characters are the miller’s son Johannes and the landlord’s daughter Victoria, and in Tammsaare’s novel the student Oskar and a baron’s grand daughter, Erika. This article examines the connections between Hamsun and Tammsaare by analysing the novels Victoria and Ma armastasin sakslast, discussing among others the motive that has been widely used in world literature, namely the (archetypical) story of lovers – Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Both novels can be considered as variations on that motive as Tammsaare, for example, adds the social aspect, so that the archetypical love story set in the Republic of Estonia enables him to discuss topics essential to him.
