Økokritisk analyse av Tarjei Vesaas’ novelle «Tusten». Forfatter: Gro Haldis Videsjorden http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Sammendrag I denne masteroppgaven studerer jeg hvilke økokritiske innsikter som kan leses ut fra novellen «Tusten» fra Tarjei Vesaas’ novellesamling Vindane (1952). Målsettingen med oppgaven er å undersøke og beskrive hvordan Vesaas’ sanselige fremstilling av naturen og av hovedkarakteren Mattis i novellen kan bidra til å synliggjøre naturens betydning så vel som relasjonen mellom menneske og natur. For å gjøre dette, har jeg fordypet meg i økokritisk teori av Henning Fjørtoft, Greg Garrard, Arne Næss, Tore Rem, Espen Stueland og Arne Johan Vetlesen. Novellesjangeren blir belyst med blikk på novellens lyriske funksjon der hovedtyngden ligger på teorier fra Charles E. May. Med støtte i Philip Shaw gjør jeg rede for det sublime uttrykk som formidler det sanselige i det romantiske språket. Alexa Weik von Mossners teorier følger gjennom hele oppgaven idet hun fremhever litteratur som omhandler natur, som et viktig virkemiddel for å bekjempe klimakrisen (Weik von Mossner 2017, 7–8). Den endelige konklusjonen er i hovedsak at naturens stemme synliggjøres gjennom Mattis’ sansning av naturen, som i neste rekke kan føre til ny erkjennelse og forståelse hos leseren.

  • Anders Krohn Claims the Pole at Sebring for Round One of 2010 Star Mazda Championship Presented by Goodyear
    ANDERS KROHN CLAIMS THE POLE AT SEBRING FOR ROUND ONE OF 2010 STAR MAZDA CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY GOODYEAR Sebring International Raceway / Thursday , March 18 – Anders 'The Viking' Krohn, the Norwegian racer who won on the Milwaukee Mile and finished 6th in the championship last year, demonstrated that he is much more of a force to be reckoned with in his second season of competition in the 2010 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear. Back with Andersen Racing, the team with which he won the 2008 F2000 championship, Krohn turned a lap of 1:58.053 (112.831 mph) in his #47 Andersen Racing / Norse Cutting & Abandonment / Trallfa / Colosseum Mazda to claim the inside of the front row for the 12:45 pm standing start of Friday's Star Mazda season-opener. The time is a new Star Mazda track record; the previous best time was 1:59.986 set by 2007 Series champion Dane Cameron. "The track is not quite as 'grippy' as it was yesterday, so the times aren't quite as quick as in practice," says Krohn, who qualified 6th and finished 17th in this event last year due to mechanical problems. "But the Andersen team has done a tremendous job to give me such a quick, consistent car and I'm very happy to be starting from my first-ever Star Mazda pole; this is half of the best possible way to start a season; now I just have to complete the second half by winning the race." It was a back-and-forth battle throughout two days of practice and this morning's qualifying session between Krohn and his Andersen Racing teammates Mikael Grenier and Tristan Vautier.

  • Norwegian Surnames in America
    Norwegian Surnames in America Surnames During the Immigration Period From 1825, the year of the first organized Norwegian immigration to the USA on the sloop Restauration, until the beginning of the next century, about 900,000 Norwegians immigrated to America. For most of them, the destination was the USA. During the 1800s , most Norwegians did not have a set surname. They had a given name (Anna, Knut), which was their actual name, and a patronymic, which consisted of the father’s name and the suffix son/sen (English son) as in Knut Andersen or dotter/datter (English daughter) as in Anna Larsdatter. This name provided information as to whose daughter or son the person was. If the individual lived on a farm, the name of the farm was added to the two previous names, more like an address than a surname. In an official document the name might look like this: Anna Larsdatter Helland, i.e. Anna is the daughter of Lars and lives on the farm Helland. Among the gentry during the 1800s, it had become customary to have a set surname. Gradually, society was becoming more organized with a growing bureaucracy, which put demands on a more dependable system for identifying its citizens, but it wasn’t until 1923 that the Norwegian Parliament, Stortinget, passed a law requiring all Norwegians to take a set surname or family name. When emigrants were registered on departure from Norway, and on their entry into America, they needed to have a surname. The choice of name could vary a great deal within a family, and it could also be changed during the first decades in the new country.

  • A Table in the Wilderness
    A Table in the Wilderness [Our Legacy as the Spiritual Successors of the Norwegian Synod] By Rev. Craig A. Ferkenstad We, in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, trace the founding of our American Lutheran identity to a September day under two oak trees at a place called Koshkonong in Dane County, Wisconsin. On Monday, September 2, 1844, more than 150 years ago, a Lutheran pastor from Norway gathered with a small group of immigrants beneath these oak trees in the western part of the Koshkonong settlement. These men and women had come with their families from Norway. Already they had established settlements at LaSalle County, Illinois, in 1834 (Fox River); Rock County, Wisconsin, in 1838 (Jefferson Prairie and Rock Prairie); Racine County, Wisconsin, in 1839 (Muskego); and Dane County, Wisconsin, in 1840 (Koshkonong). Most had come for economic reasons. In their brightly painted wooden emigrant trunks many of them had packed their precious Bible, the catechism [Forklaring], a book of sermons [Huspostille] and a hymnbook [Psalmebog]; but they were lacking pastors to serve them. By the summer of 1844, there were neither any church buildings nor any fully organized congregations among the Norwegian immigrants. There were only two pastors serving the Norwegian Lutherans. Elling Eilsen was a lay-preacher who had consented to be ordained by a neighboring pastor. Claus L. Clausen had come the previous year as a teacher and, upon request of the settlers at Muskego, was ordained at that time. Such was the situation when the twenty-nine year-old J.W.C. Dietrichson arrived in Wisconsin. He was the first ordained pastor to come from Norway.
