A chief strategy is to pool our experiences and networks to actively engage them as a resource in our work. Project participants include Chad Eric Bergman (North Park Uni- versity, Chicago), Lizette Gradén (Konstfack, Stockholm), Valdimar Tr. Haf- stein (University of Iceland, Reykjavik), Hanne Pico Larsen (Danish Folklore Archives, Copenhagen), Susanne Österlund-Pötzsch (Åbo Akademi, Åbo). The four-year project is funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Founda- tion’s Nordic Spaces program (www.sh/nordicspaces.se), with additional co-funding being provided by North Park University, the University of Ice- land, and the Danish Heritage Society, USA. In this first publication we wel- come the following colleagues for collaboration; Professor Janet Gilmore (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Professor Jim Leary (University of Wis- consin, Madison), and director/Ph.D. candidate Kristinn Schram (Icelandic Centre for Ethnology and Folklore/University of Edinburgh). As a result of this issue, we hope to reach out to scholars in different fields who share our interests in culture marked by migration and heritage preservation. Given the scope of this project, we want to say a few words about the con- cepts Nordic and Space. However, before discussing these two concepts, it is important to note that both terms are complex, with each having its own vast body of scholarship and particular institutional usage. Whereas it would be well-nigh impossible to address all aspects of this scholarly output within the confines of the present issue of Arv, we have chosen to focus on how these concepts play out in the performance of heritage in official as well as domestic spheres. Our research shows that the concept of Nordic is less rele- vant to the makers and preservers of heritage in spaces outside the places they refer back to (i.e. the Nordic countries). In the hands of immigrants and their descendants, institutional usage breaks down into more specific cate- 8 Lizette Gradén & Hanne Pico Larsen gories based on identification shaped by being located “in between” coun- tries, or at an intersection of Europe and the USA, or “here and there”, and even complicating categories by identifying with at least two places. Iden- tity politics and heritage making are performed in families, groups and communities relating to concepts such as Scandinavian, Swedish-Finnish, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish and particular provinces. So we re- turn to the question of defining the Nordic. In this issue of Arv, concept of the Nordic begins with the definition by Kenneth R. Olwig and Michael Jones (2008), namely that: “Norden, literal- ly ‘the North’ comprises the states of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are the three nation-states of Scandinavia (although in the English-speaking world ‘Scandinavia’ some- times refers to all the Nordic countries). Finland, to the east, was historically once part of Sweden and includes the internally autonomous, Swedish- speaking island territory of Åland. In the North Atlantic to the west are Ice- land, once belonging to Norway and later to Denmark but now an independ- ent state, and the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which are internally auton- omous territories under Denmark. Historically, other territories once within the cultural and political sphere of the Scandinavian countries included Slesvig-Holsten (Schleswig-Holstein in Germany), Orkney and Shetland, and Estonia on the Baltic” (Jones & Olwig 2008:ix). Expanding on this definition however, we also posit that “the North” reaches beyond territorial boundaries to include numerous cultural and edu- cational networks created mainly after the First and Second World War. Among these are Nordiska Rådet (Nordic Council) 1952, Nordiska minis- terrådet (Nordic Council of Ministers) established in 1971 (DS 2008:80, p. 41) and Nordisk Kulturfond (Nordic Cultural Foundation) 1966. In the field of ethnology and folklore Nordic and international cooperation goes back to 1905, when Axel Olrik and his Nordic colleagues inaugurated the Folklore Fellows Communications to further intercollegiate research exchange. Nor- dic Folklorists had been meeting bi- or tri-annually since 1920 (Kaivola- Bregenhøj 1983). In 1963, at the 16th Nordic Folklife and Folklore Con- gress in Røros, Norway, NEFA-Norden was established (Jordan & Ramberg 1993:208, Kaivola-Bregenhøj 1983:204). NIF (1959–1997) was founded to coordinate endeavors in the field of type-indexing the stock of Nordic folk- tales and legends. (www.folklorefellows.fi/netw/ffn14/nif.html). The Nor- den Association was established in 1919 to stimulate cultural cooperation between the Nordic countries and has since established cultural houses in Iceland, the Faroes, Greenland, Åland, and Finland.1 For a preliminary working definition of Space we turn to the seminal work by Yi-Fu Tuan (1977). According to him, place and space are basic components of the lived world, something most people take for granted (Tuan 1977). As we work with different Nordic spaces, it makes sense to use the broad and somewhat generalizing definition of space in the following Nordic Spaces in the North and North America 9 way: “In experience, the meaning of space often merges

Although the photographs are artfully crafted and technically superior, there is the question of what an accretion of so many sublime landscape images of the North accomplishes in terms of perceptions of place, community and culture? It is true that creating awe-inspiring photographs that promote an appreciation for polar-regions is legitimate work.

We have endeavored to avoid producing a tedious end report that simply reiterate the proceedings over three momentous conference days. Instead, we have strived to design this report so that it illuminates foundational ideas of the Bodding Symposium 2015 and summarizes its practical suggestions for follow-up. Moreover, as author I attempt to convey the “heartbeat” of three special days in downtown Oslo, enlivened through citations from symposium papers, panels, and later post-conference feedback from several of the conference’s more than 80 participants. The four partner institutions2 to the Symposium have graciously read the draft report and backed its completion. The venue, the meticulously restored Professor Residence (Professorboligen) on the University of Oslo’s historic campus grounds, is situated a stone’s throw from the Museum of Cultural History (MCH). It is the stately Art Décor building in which the magnificent Santal Bodding Collection has been preserved, stored and displayed since it was dispatched by sea from British India in a number of consignments to Norway in the early twentieth century.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Uppsala Studies in Social Ethics 51 Ville Päivänsalo Justice with Health Faith in Support of Progress across Contexts Uppsala 2020 Päivänsalo, Ville, 2020. Justice with Health: Faith in Support of Progress across Contexts. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, Uppsala Studies in Social Ethics 49. 347 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-513-0971-2. Abstract This book combines a religiously non-confessional approach to justice with health to- gether with an analysis of the faith-based promotion of justice with health and focuses mainly on the time period beginning from the mid-1960s. Here “justice with health” means a particular reasonable conception of socio-political justice that includes health-related capabilities among its central components. The faith-based heritage in question is Protestant, especially Lutheran, Christianity. Drawing on some of the most prominent theories of justice from the past few decades, primarily those by John Rawls and Amartya Sen, the constructive part of the study defends a moderately structured account of reasonable justice identified through ten guidelines. Although these guidelines are first defended in terms of religiously non-confessional theories, it is argued that they could be properly supported by in- sights of faith as well. The guidelines—concerning the foundations, principles, and goals of justice—allow comparatively flexible variation across contexts. Yet they are intended to help achieve a firmer consensus in the promotion of health-related justice than the status quo among various responsible agencies usually indicates. A broad historical review of the Protestant promotion of social justice and health, from the Reformation era onwards, illuminates the importance of this faith-based heritage.
