Following Spivak’s model of “crossing borders” and “planetarity”, this article compares two trauma life writings: Wab Kinew’s The Reason You Walk and Johannes Anyuru’s En storm kom från paradiset [A Storm Blew in from Paradise]. They negotiate transcultural identity construction and the intergenerational impact of colonialism, drawing respectively on Jewish philosophy of history, decolonization theory, and Indigenous Anishinaabe and Blackfoot worldviews. Deconstructing Eurowestern linear thinking, they reflect on the power of the moment and ongoing relational reciprocity. In this way, they embrace equity, diversity, and inclusion, and encourage planetary, transcultural, and decolonizing circles of conversation.

Me har ingen atomkraftverk i Noreg. Dette skuldast mellom anna den sterke folkelege motstanden her til lands. Eit døme er motstanden i to bygder i Lindås, Ostereidet og Hodneland i 1974. 1 Deltaking i denne lokale konteksten er mitt fokus i denne artikkelen. Artikkelen tek utgangspunkt i forteljingane til dei som var med, og korleis dei fortel om og forklarar si deltaking. Forteljingane vert så diskutert i lys av teoriar om deltaking. Det unike med atomkraftverkmotstanden var at dei lukkast med å nå måla sine: å stogge atomkraftverk på norsk jord. Dei fekk trass i sterk motstand frå sentrale styresmakter både politisk og i forvaltinga regjeringa til å avblåsa grunnundersøkingane og var med å sikra at Stortinget i 1979 sa nei til atomkraftverk i Noreg. Mykje tyder på at kombinasjonen av den massive deltakinga, den massive lokale semja og ein sterk samanbindande og brubyggjande sosial kapital var avgjerande faktorar for resultatet.

Ludwig Winder's Lechowski is a story about guilt and shame. The text deals with the behavior and self-examination of the lawyer Lechowski, but is also an literary processing of the norm change from a culture of guilt to a culture of shame, diagnosed in culture studies by Helmut Lethen in his book in his book Verhaltenslehren der Kälte. Lebensversuche zwischen den Kriegen for the 1920s and early 1930s. My narratological analysis uses exemplary text passages to show which narrative possibilities Ludwig Winder uses to realize the guilt-shame problem in the text.

Heimito von Doderer's uncle, Richard Gottlieb Wilhelm von Doderer, was a lifelong supporter of his nephew's literary ambitions. The paper concentrates on his life, especially his involvement in the Karlova huť steel works in the Silesian region from 1928 to 1932. After World War I the politically and economically important Silesian region was a great gain for the new Czechoslovak Republic and a great loss for the First Austrian Republic. When the Great Depression came about, the Czechoslovak Communist Party tried to exploit the crisis. Richard Gottlieb Wilhelm von Doderer, as top management, was a central figure of a labour dispute in 1931 and left a lasting impression when many workers lost their jobs. After the coup of the Czechoslovak Communist Party in 1948, the events in the Silesian region contributed to the creation of the legend of the heroic factory worker versus the workers' perfect enemy – Richard Gottlieb Wilhelm von Doderer.

This study looks at how Heimito von Doderer attempted to establish himself in the post-war literary scene in the Federal Republic of Germany, corresponding with leading conservative critics and intellectuals. The study analyses the activities of Joachim Moras and Hans Paeschke, the publishers of the Merkur magazine, to which Doderer contributed reviews and articles. Works by Doderer also appeared in the Jahresring Annual, one of whose publishers was Moras. The final section is devoted to Doderer's study "Sexuality and the Total State", and to the reasons why it was not published in Merkur magazine in Doderer's lifetime.

ABSTRACT: Norwegian immigrant Nephi Anderson (1865-1923) was Mormonism’s first popular author and wrote a regional bestseller that stayed in print over 100 years. Despite the fact that many of his works have Scandinavian characters and international settings, scholars have considered Anderson’s texts primarily for their Mormonism and not in terms of his ethnic identity or portrayal of an international church. This parallels the scholarly reception of the Mormon Scandinavian immigration to the United States, which privileges American over Scandinavian and Mormon above American. In this article, I offer a critical reevaluation of Anderson’s works to show their place in Scandinavian-American or “immigrant” literature, preserving Norwegian cultural heritage as it intersects Mormonism.

ABSTRACT: This version of Peer Gynt is one of many adaptations of Ibsen’s original “dramatic poem” into a stage presentation of the archetypal journey, spread over a lifetime, of a man in search of himself. Ibsen was the first to transform his lesedrama into a theatre piece (by omitting one entire act and commissioning a musical score from Grieg to cover the gaps). There have since been numerous modern innovations of Peer Gynt, each with its own emphasis. This current version attempts to reconcile Ibsen’s Norwegian concerns and mythology with a series of Canadian references, and the challenges facing the translator/adaptor and his solutions are recorded in the introduction to the play. It has been staged in Canada and Norway (the last act only) and won Vancouver’s Jessie Award for the best production of 2006.

This paper focuses on materiality of written language in the headlines of print advertisements and it deals with the question, whether it is possible to describe the graphic form of the headlines called as "headline design" with linguistic terms. The present article is based on a dissertation project about headlines of print advertisements in the women's and men's magazines. The aim of the dissertation is to set up the linguistic profile of the headlines in analyzed print advertisements including the syntax, the semantics, the stylistics und the graphic form. The work at the chapter about graphic form of headlines raised question, whether the linguistics has available terms at its disposal, to describe the graphic aspects of language, which linguistic terms are appropriate for the description und what communicative potential they may develop. This contribution sketches out the first considerations to the theme. The introductory part of this study defines the kind of headline in print advertisements and its functions. Further, the paper characterizes the text design und propose available terms for description of the graphic design in headlines as a part of the text design. Finally, the study examines the ways in which typography achieves its communicative effects.

The article is applied to the Norwegian author Sigrid Undset and her book "Return to the Future" (1942), describing her journey through former Soviet Union to the USA. Undset left Norway immediately after the Nazi occupation and lived in American exile through the whole World War II. The article is following primarly the two narrative streams of Undset's essay - the journey description and the reflexive attitudes. "Tilbake til fremtiden" was forbidden for publishing in the Soviet dominance zone until 1989. Six decades after author's death, in comparison with her other literary texts this work represents henceforth a reader provocation - in the previous period having political consequences, in the present period bringing literary and psychological connotations.
