Sikkert er det i alle fall at et stort antall europeiske forfattere resiperte Det moderne gjennombruddets litteratur. For R.M. Rilke (1875-1926) var det J. P. Jacobsen (1847-1885) som ble saerlig viktig; han ble en kultforfatter og et eksotisk opphav til en ny mate a se og skrive pa – ikke bare for Rilke. Imidlertid er J. P. Jacobsen en problematisk skikkelse i denne sammenhengen: Han var, ved siden av a vaere en fantastisk stilist og lydhor sprakmagiker, en anerkjent naturforsker, ateist, og den som oversatte Darwins skrifter til dansk. Men han ville heller ikke uten videre vaere en av Det moderne Gjennembruds Maend , som Brandes skulle kalle sine portretter av samtidens moderne forfattere i 1883. I tysk resepsjon er det saerlig stilisten Jacobsen, og i mindre grad darwinisten og Gjennombruddets forfatter som trer frem. Konferansebidraget dreide seg om to av de viktigste livsomradene moderniteten forsoker a resituere – kvinnens og troens plass. De behandles hos begge forfattere, som hver pa sin mate tenker om disse sentrale temaene i fremtidskategorier.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131189817","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}

Smith","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvggx29s.33","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvggx29s.33","url":null,"abstract":"Although the Danish Golden Age is celebrated as a period of autochthonous genius, the success of a Danish author during the reign of critic Johan Ludvig Heiberg depended on his or her ability to appropriate the literary modes of Europe's geographic center, i.e., France and, above all, Germany, the Goethean notion of Bildung being especially important here. Eager to ingratiate himself to Heiberg, the young Kierkegaard, in his review From the Papers of One Still Living and the second volume of his novel Either/Or , strove to prove himself a proficient critic and practitioner of the Bildungsroman . After Heiberg's dismissive criticism of Either/Or , however, Kierkegaard (as Joakim Garff argues) abandoned the Bildung paradigm. Instead of depicting characters who become integrated with their social milieu like Goethe's Wilhelm Meister and Kierkegaard's own Judge Wilhelm, Kierkegaard now turned his attention to exceptional isolates such as Abraham and Job, who appear in Fear and Trembling and Repetition , respectively. Among these radical outsiders, one might also include Shakespeare's Gloucester (Richard III), who is cited as an example of the Bard's mastery in Fear and Trembling . Kierkegaard's sudden enthusiasm for Shakespeare—which first arose with Fear and Trembling and would persist throughout his pseudonymous authorship—is hardly coincidental; rather, I argue, it was part of a concerted effort to both rebuff Heiberg and to distinguish himself from him, since the professor had written disparagingly about English literature in general and Shakespeare in particular in his On the Significance of Philosophy for the Present Age . Furthermore, I claim that Kierkegaard turned to Britain not merely as a geographic periphery but also, in the case of authors such as Byron, Defoe, Ossian, Percy Shelley, Swift, and Young, as a psychological periphery running counter to the Apollonian concept of Bildung propagated by Heiberg.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129468227","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}

Genom att granska de olika rum och platser romanen befattar sig med och i vilka romanen och dess oversattning ror sig, beskriver jag den finlandssvenska litteraturens falt och villkor och staller fragor om eventuella forandringar av minoritetslitteraturens rum och plats under de senaste artionden. Ett av de begrepp jag laborerar med ar entre-deux som Eric Prieto (2013) anvander for att diskutera litteraturens relation till platser som ligger utanfor de etablerade rummen, sasom fororter, ”icke-platser” eller granstrakter. Prieto menar att entre-deux ar av speciell betydelse i den nuvarande senmoderna tidsaldern, praglad av okad mobilitet, utveckling av teknologi och global kapitalism samt att det ar i dessa platser som nya former av rumslighet och identitet skapas. Fagerholms roman inte bara forandrar pa den finlandssvenska romanens traditionella mitt-emellan-position (mellan Sverige och Finland) utan ocksa fornyar den finlandssvenska romanens ”tranga rum”. Den amerikanska flickan signalerar tydligt om sin vilja att aka ut i varlden. Romanens satt att gestalta platser tar avstand fran det nationella rummet samt minoritetslitteraturens identitetsuppratthallande uppgift. Den bygger pa en standig rorelse mellan har och dar, nara och fjarran, Finland och USA. Samtidigt visar mottagandet av romanen i USA hur geografi, plats och dikotomin centrum-periferi sammanstralar for att uppratthalla en kulturens geopolitik: Fagerholms i grunden transnationella verk ”returneras” till sin geografiska och nationella kontext.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129828656","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}

{"title":"DEN INTELLEKTUELLE OG POLITISKE GEORG BRANDES","authors":"E. Svendsen","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvggx29s.30","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvggx29s.30","url":null,"abstract":"Georg Brandes is mostly known as a literary critic, while there has been much less focus on his comprehensive political writing. Thus, more work needs to be done here, not least because Brandes presents himself in these texts as an intellectual who thinks internationally and unites an ability to defend enlightenment values with a critique of modernity. The analytical focus of the contribution is Brandes' two late monographs Verdenskrigen (1916) (The Great War) and Tragediens anden Del. Fredsslutningen (1919) (Part Two of the Tragedy. The Peace Treaty). In these two books, Brandes reports and reflects on militarism, imperialism, nationalism, free trade and communication across borders. While the young Brandes optimistically regarded the Enlightenment as having advanced humanity, he became much more sceptical in his later years. The First World War and its aftermath proved to him that there was a general lack of interest in rationality, internationalism and freedom. On the one hand, Brandes argued in favour of modernity but, on the other, he was also a sharp critic of modernity's double standards and hypocrisy, which he found on both the winning and the losing sides. Objectively, Brandes observed that the war changed society after 1918. Western societies were deeply internally divided, which manifested not least in the class struggle. Brandes cannot be accused of sympathizing with either Lenin or the Danish labour movement; however, he happily accepted invitations to give educational speeches to the workers. As a citizen, and a liberal regarding financial policy, Brandes was frightened at the thought of Communism spreading to Europe, but defended Russia against international sanctions, which he thought was the incorrect way to respond to Lenin. The contribution considers that Georg Brandes' writings are not devoid of self-contradiction. However, it is argued that he actually manages to speak with two voices without betraying his fundamental belief in the ideal of enlightenment. In his time, he was criticized for his persistent defence of neutrality. However, what is exemplary in Brandes' work as an intellectual is that he managed to criticize all parties who, in different ways, betrayed the ideal of progress. Thus, le citoyen and the free intellectual defeat le bourgeois in Brandes.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132961058","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}

This is a questions that informs my reading of two personal narratives describing twentieth-century Svalbard as an emergent form of place, in Eric Prieto's term an entre-deux , that is no longer \"outside time\" as an uncharted Arctic wilderness, yet still not a location that has become thoroughly subsumed into European modernity. Both are memoirs published in 1955, Svalbard var min verden by the former trapper and hunter Arthur Oxaas (1888-1972), Nord for det ode hav by Liv Balstad (1915-1966), wife of the first post-war Norwegian governor of Svalbard. While Svalbard var min verden is a predominantly nostalgic retrospective of a historical era of hunting and trapping that had come to an with the Second World War, Nord for det ode hav looks forward to a future in which Svalbard has become fully integrated in the modern Norwegian welfare society. However, both narratives share an emphasis on the Heideggerian topic of place-making through building and dwelling, as well as a gendered vision of an Arctic modernity based on the feminine-coded values of family, homemaking and everyday life.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114944602","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}

It was also the first time that representatives from all five continents took part, only later symbolically recognized at the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 with the introduction of the five-ringed Olympic flag. From the start of the Olympic Games, until 1948 in London, the competition included painting, sculpture, music, literature and architecture as Olympic events. Sports competitions, which 'offered historically anchored and peaceful forms of contest between national states', according to the Olympic movement's leader, Pierre de Coubertin, would be complemented by international contests involving different arts representing sport. The idea was that artistic representation could reflect and inspire a certain perfection of the sporting idea itself. Examining the culture-historical context, this study provides an analytical-interpretative understanding of the literary element of the Olympic Arts Competitions, regarded as a thematic-typical literary phenomenon. In addition, literary documents about the experience of Olympic participation from the perspective of athletes are also analysed (diaries by Karl Lukk and David Wiman).","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"355 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122800778","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}

In both a drama and a travel book from 191l Skjoldborg shows how torn between their Danish roots and the lures of modern America such subjects could be, and how precariously they might navigate the mental Pond between the Scylla and Charybdis of their conflicts. A later edition of the drama, and not least two later popular film adaptations of its text, make evident that the clash between the cultures of its two worlds persists well beyond the second world war. Attraction and repulsion remain in a tug of war, although the balance between the opposing forces, and some attempts at conflict resolution as well, tend to shift in tune with other historical changes within the culture. Regional authenticity, the fairly solid point of departure for Skjoldborg and his ilk of Danish writers when they first envisioned the modern world, becomes increasingly bracketed in the course of the 20 th century; and when writers nowadays attempt to celebrate recent incarnations of this authenticity, on closer inspection their output typically reveals how globally tinged the so-called local has actually become.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124234852","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}

Special attention is paid to the question of how the protagonist, a young Dutch PhD candidate in geology, makes his way through Norwegian Finnmark, an area he does not know but is eager to explore. At the beginning of his journey, Alfred feels certain about the world's measurability and, consequently, the human capacity to control both the world and humanity's superior position in it. Soon, however, he learns about his body's embeddedness in nature and thus its fragility. Drawing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's critique of the Cartesian worldview and the subject-object dichotomy, Hermans' novel is read as a critical engagement with unchallenged rationality and enlightenment.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127959199","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}

Scholars discuss and even quarrel about which authors and texts actually meet these criteria. However, there is more to the issue than the impact on literature itself. The acclaimed and cherished canon also leaves its imprint on real life outside academia and takes part in everyday life. This occurs, for example, when images related to the works appear on stamps, or when authors or characters are commemorated in statues or in names given to streets. Here, we are dealing with material culture. This contribution examines H. C. Andersen's two fairy tales, The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling , from an anthropological perspective, as iconic, national symbols, which contributed to and confirmed the self-image of Denmark as a postcard-idyllic country, captured in the motto 'Small is beautiful'. We also attempt to demonstrate how this image, which interacts with other cultural codes might be challenged by counter-stories, that might at the same time nevertheless involuntarily confirm their status as national symbols.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128734300","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}
