The article analyses how transnational marriage is envisaged by women in Amhara and has a negative affect on their lives. The analysis is based on triangulated data collected through interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and document analysis. It has been consistently theorised that transnational marriages and the opening up of the marriage market for women has created a scarcity of wives that negatively affects the lives of men in migrants’ origin countries. The study reveals the broad effects of transnational marriages on the gender dynamics in Amhara. The author concludes that the success related to transnational marriages and subsequent remittances creates a fragile negotiation power among women seeking migrant husbands and abandons many women as singletons and single mothers, thereby contributing to the social ethos of unmarried women and of single-parent families. Given the patriarchal conventions in Amhara, abandonment constitutes much more complicated psychosocial effects. Abandoned women suffer stigma and neglect, another constituent characterising the social ills created by transnational marriages.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"6 1","pages":"158 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84524818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature has focused on the diffusion of SE in metropolitan regions, while rural regions have been almost entirely overlooked. To fill this gap, the article examines the SE in a rural region in Norway to explore how it is framed by key actors in regional development at different spatial scales. The article treats the SE as a mechanism through which new knowledge, practices, and routines are developed. The analytical framework reveals how pro-SE and con-SE narratives co-evolve through both endogenous and exogenous factors within the region. The narratives are heterogenic. The pro-SE narrative articulates a viable source of economic growth in regions, whereas the con-SE narrative highlights a fear of undermining rural tourism and liberalization of labour. The article extends the SE literature by providing insights into how innovation paths relate to discursive processes in a rural context. The authors conclude that the SE can both increase positive development paths and obstruct regional development processes, depending on the strength of influence from contextual factors, namely policy regulations.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"225 1","pages":"127 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76265181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors identify a possible polarization of attitudes in Sweden towards the importance of education in general and schools in particular, against the background of a highly liberalized school market, including school choice and rural-urban regional differences in the population’s education level. The basis for the analysis is TIMSS 2015 data for pupils in Grade 4 (age group 10–11 years). The results showed that localization of the school was a very important factor in school choice and that localization was more important than parental education and social class. Additionally, the authors tested the association between maths results and the variables attitudes, location, school, and household, and found that a household with a lower proportion of tertiary-educated parents in less central locations could make it difficult for pupils to perform well in mathematics. The authors conclude that in Sweden neoliberalization has been a geographically uneven process with a concentration in the metropolitan areas.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"104 1","pages":"142 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75940488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The guiding principle of this tangible spatial development is densification. The development is caused by a number of external and internal actors, each with their own agenda, geographical scale and trajectory. The objective of the article is to examine how various approaches to place-making and centre development affect and shape three case municipalities with a significant temporary population: Ringebu, Lesja and Røyrvik. Assemblage theory is employed as an analytical perspective, as the case municipalities are subject to various relations of exteriority. Based on interviews with relevant stakeholders and document analysis, the authors present the municipalities’ different backgrounds and contexts, as well as relevant planning priorities and practices, and discuss how these lead to highly different types of place-making. The main finding is that while subject to the same national regulations and market forces, the case municipalities’ approaches to local development have differed quite substantially. The authors conclude that different constellations of centrality constitute an important element in the municipalities’ place-making strategies and that more empirical studies are needed to illustrate how local practices can reinforce spatial distinctiveness.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"49 1","pages":"101 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78516268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article examines the path dependency of the dairy and beef production system in Norway and focuses on identifying lock-ins. The authors used qualitative methods to gather information from stakeholder meetings in Trøndelag and Rogaland counties. They explored the stakeholders’ responses to two different visions of agriculture in the future: the improved utilisation of outfields using Norwegian Red cattle and increasing production per animal by using feed concentrates. Six key areas of lock-in were identified: technology investment, culture, feeding strategy, policy, access to new farmland through moorland conversion, and ownership of the climate issue. The findings suggest that the current pathway in agriculture is strongly locked into production orientation through these lock-ins, making a production reduction option difficult to implement. There was also widespread belief among the stakeholders that the system of combined dairy and beef production was a climate-friendly option, suggesting that farmers are not convinced that a change in this direction is required. The authors conclude that the option of reducing production would be difficult to implement without addressing the multiple lock-in effects.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"1 1","pages":"65 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84367062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maps were practical and symbolic manifestations of those aims. The author discusses the cartographic image-shaping of the European north in the mural atlases of three Late Renaissance Italian galleries. The article’s iconographic scope is derived from the concept of the cycle of mural maps. Holistically interpreted, the cycles of maps reveal the muralists’ desire to satisfy their patron’s will by designing the space according to various cartographic skills and artistic principles. The mural atlases are interpreted as fundamental elements of such cycles. The study is based on personal observations made in the galleries along with existing literature. The map cycles reveal the impulse during the Later Renaissance for obtaining up-to-date geographical information about the European northern periphery. The study reveals Olaus Magnus’s important role in upgrading geographical knowledge about the region, and how in the mural maps reflect his cartographic perception. The author concludes that Olaus Magnus’s depiction of the geographical shape of the European north impacted the iconography of the studied map cycles.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"52 1","pages":"274 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83994025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors investigate the history of Danish cadastral cartography with a focus on its representation of landscape. They explore representations of landscape in maps of a study area in Denmark, produced between 1807 and 1942, and analyse them in the context of the general history of Danish cadastral cartography. Their results show that an initial landscape-oriented perspective on property changed to a focus primarily on legal boundaries. The limitations of that particularistic mode of representation were recognized in 1929 and subsequently several unsuccessful attempts were made to reintroduce a holistic representation of landscape. The authors conclude that the history of cadastral map-making is reflected in current mapping practices, which are characterized by a perspective in which economic aspects of a landscape are seen as separate from its ecological, physical and visual characteristics. Thus, further investigations of this mismatch between the cartographic representation of cadastral structures and the landscape are important in relation to understanding and mitigating many of today’s environmental problems in the landscape.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"24 1","pages":"291 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80048297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first was published in Volume 74(4), September 2020. Further articles will be published in a later issue of the journal. These special issues take up a topic that characterized the journal from the 1930s to the 1960s, during which period several articles on the history of cartography in Norway were published. Prominent among these was Kristian Nissen’s series of five articles titled ‘Bidrag til Norges karthistorie’ (‘Contributions to Norway’s map history’) (K. Nissen 1938; 1939; 1943; 1957; 1963a). The current special issues of the journal can be regarded as a reawakening of Kristian Nissen’s legacy. Kristian Nissen (1879–1968), a polymath, was reindeer inspector, historian, ethnographer, geographer, and became Norway’s leading historian of cartography. He was the son of Major General Per Schjelderup Nissen (1844–1930), who worked at the Geographical Survey of Norway and served as director 1900–1906. Kristian accompanied his father during the 1896–1897 inspection and marking of Norway’s boundary with Russia and Finland, which might have inspired his interests in mapping and Saami reindeer-herders (Jones & Olsen 2017). In an assessment of Per Schjelderup Nissen’s work as a cartographer and geographer, Erling Bjørstad (1945a) considered Per Nissen’s most important contribution was his pioneering economic-geographical atlas of Norway (P. Nissen 1921). Both Per Nissen and Kristian Nissen were active in the Norwegian Geographical Society (Det Norske Geografiske Selskab). Per Nissen was the society’s chairman in the momentous years 1905–1906, during which period the union between Norway and Sweden was dissolved in 1905, and again in the years 1914–1921, during World War I and its aftermath. Kristian Nissen served on the society’s board. In 1954 he was awarded honorary membership in recognition of his contributions to the history of Norwegian cartography, communicated through lectures and articles. From 1951, he lived at and was custodian of Polhøgda, the former home of Fridtjof Nansen (1861–1930), which had been taken over by the Norwegian Geographical Society in 1947; there, Nissen was engaged to continue Nansen’s cartographical-historical studies of northern and Arctic regions (Nystad 2012, 170, 173). Among Kristian Nissen’s early cartographical contributions was a pioneering map of reindeer herding, published in 1916 in the society’s yearbook, the predecessor of Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift (K. Nissen 1916). A few years later, his ethnographic map of Northern Norway, based on the results of the 1910 population census, was published (K. Nissen 1920). In his ‘Contributions to Norway’s map history’, Nissen presented the cartographical work of individual mapmakers: navigator Andreas Heitman and the Norlandia map of 1744–1745 (K. Nissen 1938); the brothers Johan Georg and Franz Phili","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":"82 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73420677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
