I artikkelen blir bevarte tollprotokoller anvendt for å undersøke Næs jernverks bruk av Tvedestrand som havn for varer som skulle til og fra verket i de første fire tiårene av 1800-tallet. Hovedkildene i undersøkelsen er tollprotokollene fra Risør tolldistrikt for årene 1806, 1816, 1826 og 1837. Tollmaterialet viser at verket stod for en stor andel av skipstrafikken på Tvedestrand, men at andelen av trafikken gikk nedover, særlig mellom 1826 og 1837. Undersøkelsen belyser Tvedestrands overgang fra jernverkshavn til sjøfartsby og fra nettverkssted til sentralsted.

Samandrag Fram til utskiftingsreformene på 1800-talet hadde bøndene i delar av Noreg valt å organisere jordbruksdrifta si i ulike former for såkalla jordfellesskap. Artikkelen har ei historiografisk tilnærming og handsamar ulike forklaringsmodellar bak ein slik jordeigedomsstruktur. Med utgangspunkt i både norsk og utanlandsk litteratur viser artikkelen at ulike forfattarar har forklart jordfellesskapet både som eit resultat av naturen og materielle vilkår, og av kulturen og sosiale tilhøve.

Abstract In 2016, The Norwegian Institute of Local History (NLI) celebrated its sixtieth anniversary as an independent institution. At the end of the year, important changes took place. It was decided that the institute should be incorporated into the National Library from 1 January 2017. The purpose was to ensure the continuation, as well as to further develop the field NLI has been responsible for. NLIs history was written for its fiftieth anniversary in 2006. This article details NLIs newer history from 2006 to 2017, and provides an overview of the important changes that have occurred in its strategies and focus areas.

The Topic Buzzwords in the Language of Politics: Illustrated by the Example of the "Günther Jauch" Talk Show deals with the spoken language in its combination with the language of politics. The main focus is laid on the answers of the participants in political discussions and on the buzzwords that the participants in political discussions frequently use. The buzzwords are divided into individual groups according to their specific and thematic characteristics and they are also represented on authentic examples from a transcript.

ABSTRACT: The Mývatn region in northern Iceland has been receiving archaeological attention since at least the nineteenth century, with more intensive work having been carried out by Fornleifastofnun Íslands (FSÍ) in the late twentieth century, continuing to the present. The archaeological evidence suggests that Mývatn has been a region onto itself since the Settlement Period of Iceland through to the end of the Viking age. Imported goods such as whetstones and steatite demonstrate tell-tale characteristics of objects traded for in low quantities and over infrequent time periods. This article examines how Mývatn Icelanders were able to partially connect to the continental trade in beads, the Baltic trade in flint, and to other European trade networks operating between the 9th and 15th centuries, and to what extent these networks were able to influence the early Mývatn economy.

ABSTRACT: In 1995 Liv Ullmann released Kristin Lavransdatter, a film adaptation of The Wreath, the first novel in Sigrid Undset’s trilogy Kristin Lavransdatter, a novelistic reconstruction of fourteenth-century psychology and religious culture published between 1920 and 1922. This work was crucial to Undset’s winning the Nobel Prize in 1928 “principally for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages”; though its historical accuracy has been challenged, the affection with which this work is held by Norwegian readers endures. So Ullmann was taking on well-known text, which had been authored by a keen Catholic apologist, when she undertook her adaptation. Her version of the story—or rather versions, since three different cuts have been released—reduces the religious dimension of the original while increasing the focus on the psychological exploration of family tensions, whether between generations, between marriage partners, between siblings—or between friends. A comparison of the two works, preceded by a brief discussion of Undset’s religious writings, illuminates each.

The Swedish policy of non-alliance aiming at neutrality in the event of war with all its contradictions and disputes continues to have an effect on societal debate in today’s Sweden. This article advocates a more accurate differentiation between historical processes and political assessments. It argues that this can be achieved by focussing on objectives set at that time as well as political outcomes resulting from the means chosen to achieve them rather than trying to compile moral benchmarks retrospectively. In order to exemplify this the article draws on the long-time Swedish foreign minister Östen Undén whose work is considered formative for Swedens foreign and security policy during the Cold War. It is stated that by using this approach it is possible to solve some of the prevailing contradictions and to demonstrate a higher degree of continuity.
