This choice of excellence is a subjective opinion, even if done with professional as well as philatelic skill and experience.

  • 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.

    FREE THE SAGA OF KING HROLF KRAKI PDF Jesse L. Byock | 144 pages | 03 Jun 2015 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780140435931 | English | London, United Kingdom Hrólfr Kraki - Wikipedia The consensus view is that Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian traditions describe the same people. Proponents of this theory, like J. Tolkien[11] argue that both the names Beowulf lit. Bodvar Bjarki is constantly associated with bears, his father actually being one. This match supports the hypothesis that the adventure with the dragon is also originally derived from the same story. When Haldan died of old age, Helghe and Ro divided the kingdom so that Ro ruled the land, and Helghe the sea. This resulted in a daughter named Yrse. Much later, he met Yrse, and without knowing that she was his daughter, he made her pregnant with Rolf. Eventually, Helghe found out that Yrse was his own daughter and, out of shame, went east and killed himself. Both Helghe and Ro being dead, a Swedish king, called Hakon in the Chronicon Lethrense proper, and Athisl in the Annales — corresponding to Eadgils — forced the Danes to accept a dog as king. The dog king was succeeded by Rolf Krage. Rolf Krage was a big The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki in body and soul and was so generous that no one asked him for anything twice. This Hartwar arrived in Zealand with a large army and said that he wanted to give his tribute to Rolf, but killed Rolf together with all his men. Only one survived, Wiggwho played along until he was to do homage to Hartwar.

Stangegaard, Milestone Systems, SPSS, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: In this panel session, people from the four countries - Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark - who participated in the early development of computers and computer industry discuss how the computer industry started and what happened 30 to 40 years ago. We will try to answer questions as follows. How and why did the computer development and industry start in each country? How did it manage the change from research/development into industry? How and why did some of the early companies not succeed? What were main achievements and successes? Key words: Nordic, computer, industry !• INTRODUCTION by Christian Gram In the Nordic countries several initiatives were taken to develop computers, and some of them led to production and marketing of computers from the early 1960s. Many of the companies ran into financial difficulties, went through a number of painful transitions of ownership, and finally stopped or absorbed by larger foreign companies. The following sections shed light on what happened to the attempts to create a Nordic computer 180 Gram, Laaksonen, Ohlin, Lawson, Skdr, and Stangegaard industry. Each co-author describes important events in his country and reasons for why things developed as they did 30 to 40 years ago.

Most of the Germanic languages share a great number of similarities, and individual languages often have features common to more than one which complicates the grouping. The grouping of the Germanic languages has been debated by linguists since the 19th century, and there are still dissenting views on this topic. Old English, Old Low Franconian and Old Saxon pose significant issues with regard to grouping, and the research for this thesis will attempt to clarify where these languages fit with other Germanic languages and what the best classification of the Germanic languages would be.

I am thankful to each one of those places. Also, this thesis would have hardly been completed without the help of some people, to whom I owe my gratitude. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Sif Rikharðsdóttir, for her understanding, her con- stant support, her sound advice, and for her enthusiasm in my work. Sif represents an outstanding example of brilliant and dedicated scholar, with whom I heartily wish to continue to work. Many thanks also must go to Haraldur Bernharðsson, who kindly agreed to forward me the electronic edition of the Codex Regius. Others must also be thanked now, those friends and colleagues who helped me out to navigate my feelings. I would like to thank Roberto, for being the most caring, demanding, straightforward, and loyal friend I’ve met along this road. Many heartfelt thanks also go to those who made my year in Iceland a memorable experience: to Jaka, for challenging me in every debate; to Elsa and to Giulia, for their loving support and understanding; to my classmates, especially to Embla; and to Julián, for the place he earned.

  • Old Germanic Languages
    OLD GERMANIC LANGUAGES HERBERT PENZL 1. EARLY GERMANIC 1.1 General Among Old Germanic languages we include: Gothic (§2), Old North Germanic ('Proto-Norse', §3) before its split into the Old Norse (ON) dialects, the 'West Ger- manic' languages such as Old English (OE, §4), Old Frisian (OFris., §5), Old Saxon (OS) and Old Low Franconian (OLF, §6), Old High German (OHG, §7). Compre- hensive research reports on Germanic languages without specific regional and time restrictions have appeared by Carl Karstien ("Altgermanische Dialekte"), Victor Michels ("Deutsch"), and Wilhelm Horn ("Englische Sprachwissenschaft") in Stand und Aufgaben (1924); in Götze et al. (1934); and in Streitberg et al. (1936). Many studies concern not only these individual attested languages but rather features shared by all or by some of them which we can thus attribute to an earlier reconstructed stage. Some early onomastic data, some Runic inscriptions cannot be easily assigned to any particular major Germanic dialect. In this first subchapter (§1) I shall deal with all these publications and those that involve reconstructed stages of, or within, Germanic. The character and status of reconstructed forms and sounds were infrequently an issue, rarely the whole concept of a reconstructed ancestral language like 'Proto- Germanic' ('Primitive Germanic', Urgermanisch), 'Common Germanic' (Gemein- germanisch) but frequently the assumption and grouping of specific intermediate proto- languages. Some scholars, however, like Pisani (1955), also van Coetsem (1969), avoided altogether references to 'Proto-Germanic'; other scholars, like Sparnaay (1961), criticized the concept of a monolithic proto-language without dialects. Maurer (1943) successfully attacked 'West Germanic' as an areal and tribal entity, within an analysis of the grouping and development of the Germanic languages but largely on the basis of Germanic tribal history and archeology; cf.
