Infinitivsmerkets status i mellomnorske kontrollkonstruksjoner
Full text linkUndersøkelsen bygger på 3413 diplom med 1158 kontrollkonstruksjoner fra perioden 1350–1525. Hovedresultatet av undersøkelsen er at infinitivsmerket i disse konstruksjonene enten er subjunksjon i en norrøn struktur der infinitiven er flytta ut av verbfrasen, eller er klitikon til infinitiven i en eldre nynorsk struktur der infinitiven står i verbfrasen. Infinitivmerkets status viser seg først og fremst gjennom ulike plasseringer av infinitiven i forhold til midtfeltsadverb og til verbalpartikler, men det er dessuten relevant å trekke inn sammenskriving av infinitivsmerket og infinitiven, forma på infinitivsmerket og utelatelse av infinitivsmerket. Med utgangspunkt i den eldre nynorske strukturen kan en dessuten beskrive forekomsten av ledd framfor infinitivsmerket og infinitiven som resultat av flyttinger som en også finner i finitte leddsetninger
Rikard Berge – dokumentasjon av folkemusikk gjennom fonograf og fotografi
Full text linkThis article explores the documentation of Norwegian traditional music, to be found in the Norwegian folklorist Richard Berge’s (1881 –1969) phonograph and photography archives. The article discusses how Berge proceeded with his documentation, using these techniques, when exploring and comparing the two archive fragments. In order to provide a better understanding of the relation between these two archive fragments, the article discusses what may have been his strategy for documenting, or if he collected more by random from time to time. Based on the time frame the folklorist worked with his collections, the article briefly addresses what personal factors may have been significant and potentially had an impact on his historical legacy.
Fanst det eit eige namn Solli i Noreg i millomalderen?
Full text linkThis article discusses the alleged existence of a medieval Norwegian personal name Solli, which E. H. Lind lists in his monumental Norsk-isländska dopnamn ock fingerade namn från medeltiden (1905–15, 1931) and derives etymologically from the verb svella ‘to swell’. It is argued that this was no independent name formation in medieval times, but rather a spelling variant or a hypocorism of the common Old Norse name Sǫlvi(r), whereas the Modern Norwegian name Solle (Sølle) is, more likely, a continuation of the more marginal Old Norse name Sǫrli. The argu-ments for making such a division between old and new Solle are primarily the great variance in spellings of the name Sǫlvi(r) in the medieval sources as well as the overlapping geographical dis-tribution of these name forms. Some of the persons whose names are spelled ‹Solle› etc. in the sources are tentatively linked to persons who clearly had the name Sǫlvi(r). A sound change from Sǫlvi(r) to Solli is problematic, though, and the new form is explained as either a pure spelling variant where the v is left out (as in other spellings of the same name), or a hypocorism where the consonant cluster has been simplified (as in Modern Swedish nick-name equivalents such as Hjalle for Hjalmar and Kalle for Karl)
Jomfruland, Jungfrun, Landegode og Godøya på Sunnmøre – ikkje farlege, men reine og gode?
Full text linkThis article presents new explanations for the following names: Godøya in Sunnmøre, Western Norway; Jomfruland on the Norwe-gian Skagerrak coast, Jungfrun in Kalmarsund, Sweden; and Lan-degode, which has been used about three separate Norwegian is-lands: the mentioned Jomfruland; Svinøya north of Stad, Western Norway; and Landegode near Bodø, Northern Norway. The tradi-tional explanation is that the three Landegode islands together with Jungfrun are particularly dangerous places within the coastal wa-ters and that the names are placating names that were used in order to appease the powers thought to reside there and let sailors pass without any trouble. However, the claim that these islands are dan-gerous places does not stand up to scrutiny. What distinguishes them, together with the island of Godøya in Sunnmøre, is quite the contrary: They are natural navigation marks surrounded by clear waters, free of skerries and reefs, so that sailors are able to steer towards them in order to avoid any sub-surface dangers. This must have been invaluable in times before sea charts, compass and more advanced navigational aids. My suggestion therefore is that the name Landegode, ‘the good land’, is to be understood literally: The three Landegode islands are places that are good, in the sense of helpful, for sailors. The name Godøya in Sunnmøre, derived from Guðey ‘god-island’, is, I believe, to be understood in a similar way – the difference being that, here, the easy approach from the sea was considered so useful that it was linked to the gods. Regarding Jomfruland ‘Virgin-Land’ and Jungfrun ‘The Virgin’, my suggestion is that a wordplay is at issue: These islands are either flanked or surrounded by clear waters, which in Norwegian and Swedish is Namn og nemne 2019 5.qxp_Layout 1 12.12.2019 12:29 Side 47 expressed as ‘clean waters’, while virgins were said to be ‘clean’ in former times
Demokratisk industriarv? Kulturarvifisering og identitet i øvre Telemarks verdensarvområde
Full text linkIndustrial heritage supposedly offers workers a right to a past and has therefore been celebrated as democratic. Authorities continue to applaud democratization, supporting and encouraging heritage for all, in an open and non-excluding sense. Examining the concept of democratic industrial heritage, this article explores connections between heritage and identification in a major industrial heritage site in Southern Norway. It investigates how implicit and seemingly under-communicated boundaries between self and Other are negotiated on the ground when local people’s history and environment become world heritage.In the early 20th century, a major industrial complex was established in the upper regions of Telemark. After securing rights and access to local natural resources, the company Norsk Hydro was soon developed into a major producer of artificial fertilizer, driven by hydroelectric power. A century later, and some two and a half decades after the enterprise had shut down and relocated all chemical production, the early history and physical remains of the local industry was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2015. Ethnographic data collected within the Rjukan-Notodden industrial heritage site between May 2017 and December 2018 demonstrates that so-called heritage communities are far from stable. Heritagization processes not only produce heritage and heirs. World heritage, especially, also produces a series of stages, arenas, situations and debates. Here, identities are mobilized in different constellations according to changing political circumstances. Heritage communities thus constantly shift as members and heirs populate the democratic world heritage’s less visible, yet constituent, Other with new social groups – often opponents in the politicized situations that heritagization processes provoke. Heritage, then, becomes resource and raw-material for strategic identity construction on the wide variety of arenas that heritagization generates
Aristokratiske allianser og konflikter i nordisk seinmiddelalder
Full text linkThe point of departure is the Swedish rebellion against the regime of King John (Hans) in 1501. Sten Sture the Elder was the rebellion’s most prominent leader. The article moves from a discussion of Sten’s character and motives for his policy to a more general discussion of the motives of the late medieval Scandinavian aristocracy’s political agitation and conduct. The principal question is whether the aristocrats were motived by economic profit and personal career alone, or if other motives, like political and ideological ones, also mattered. Several examples of aristocrats’ political choices that cannot have been motivated by economic gains are examined. Thereafter, the article presents the main features of the late medieval aristocracy in Scandinavia as an elite, including its political position, and then especially the balance of power between the aristocracy and the monarch. The conclusion is that the late medieval Scandinavian aristocracy’s political behaviour was motivated by a set of motives, that could differ from one situation to another
Konflikter, konfliktmønstre og skriftlighet
Full text linkThe aim of the article is to discuss the nature and development of a political culture based on the concepts of ritual, mutuality and trust. The development of a more restricted, but also more predictable political culture is linked to the emergence of a popular literacy. The main aim is to look at the development in Norway c. 1300–1600 in a European context. The article maps the stages of popular resistance, from causes via legal and illegal forms of activism, to the aftermath and restauration of order. The article argues that these conflicts follow established patterns, and that the last stage is a stage of negotiations dressed as a ritual of re-establishing mutual trust. Finally, it is argued that the development of a popular, if limited, literacy in the late medieval period narrows the political “space” for both subjects and rulers, and thus increases a common understanding and acceptance of a set of political “rules”

Kortbuen – hvordan låt det?
Full text linkIn this article, I seek to describe my experiences with using the old concave short bow when playing Hardanger fiddle. I find that the old bow type challenges me in other ways than the modern type. The article first gives a historical view on the transition from the old to the new type of bow, and further I have some reflections on the style change in the Hardanger fiddle music, with emphasis on localities I know well: Hardanger, Tysnes, Suldal and Bjerkreim. I then try to put into words my experiences while playing with the short bow. A conclusion is that using the short bow gives me new ideas of how to interpret parts of my repertoire. It also gives a plausible explanation of the style I hear in certain archive recordings.
