This created settlements that were densely populated by members of specific ethnic groups. In this study, these forms of communities are understood as “ethnic colonies.” The article particularly looks at Stoughton, Wisconsin, which especially attracted migrants who originated in Norway. The purpose of the study has, however, not merely been to observe the existence of an ethnic colony. The colony’s construction and further development has also been a point of interest. This has been studied through an investigation of demographic shifts on a local level, and a closer look at the ethnic group’s cultural influence on the local community. The study finds that a persistent influx of migrants who originated in Norway was an important precondition for the creation of an ethnic colony, and that the colony’s further development is tied to the forming of an ethnic group identity. Actors who influenced the development of an ethnic group identity have thus also been regarded to be important in the construction and further development of the ethnic colony.","PeriodicalId":270746,"journal":{"name":"Norwegian-American Studies","volume":"1955 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128491025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a transnational comparative analysis of nineteenth-century dwellings, her project investigates the transference of cultural influences on vernacular architecture from Norway to Minnesota. The rural Norwegian and second-generation Norwegian-American dwellings of the Vik and Traaen families, who emigrated from Eastern Norway in the mid-1800s, serve as primary case studies.As an introduction to the project, this article summarizes research progress thus far and outlines four characteristics that are consistently found across case-study buildings in Norway and Minnesota: the Akershus floor plan, number of building stories, wood panel partition wall, and interior decoration. Each is examined through a transnational lens of regional and class-based influences from Norway to Minnesota. Findings thus far indicate a lack of data on crofter dwellings in Norway. Future architectural documentation of crofter dwellings in the case-study region will support comparative analyses between Norwegian and Norwegian-American dwellings.","PeriodicalId":270746,"journal":{"name":"Norwegian-American Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123120736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only did she learn the craft of drawing, but also the skill to see in a scene what was going on and present, in her sketches, the drama of the various characters she was drawing. In 1865 she and her husband took something of a working holiday to New York City so he as president of the church could oversee the congregation in Brooklyn that needed a pastor. Linka came along as a tourist. During the trip she had the leisure to portray some of the scenes she observed along the way, especially scenes of Niagara Falls, both tourists and tourist attractions. Along with the letters she wrote her children and their governess, Henriette Neuberg, the sketches give us a picture not simply of what she saw, but of herself as a shrewd and thoughtful observer of the life around her. While she shares many of the challenges and gifts of the lady travelers and amateur sketchers of her time, she has a distinctive point of view on the Falls and her companions that is both amused and critical.","PeriodicalId":270746,"journal":{"name":"Norwegian-American Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129620835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
