  Brecht found it laughable that Ibsen’s Ghosts was still staged in theaters after the invention of Salvarsan. He believed that the play had become irrelevant and meaningless as soon as medical science had made Osvald’s suffering unnecessary; the problem in the play had become a superficial one after the illness could be cured with a simple visit to the doctor. Brecht’s viewpoint is obviously hopeless for several reasons. It represents a far too superficial determination of what constitutes an artwork’s relevance, and it effectively removes all art that is not topical in the simplest sense. Yet it still touches on something important in Ghosts, namely the fact that Osvald’s illness, in many ways, represents a central intrigue in the play. Without any pretentions to providing a comprehensive interpretation, we will therefore limit ourselves in the following text to an examination of precisely the disease and its genesis.

  Few actors have had a greater impact on the “framing of Muslims” as a social and political “problem” in Norway since 2001 than Hege Storhaug of the government- and corporate billionaire funded civil society organization Human Rights Service (HRS). Using the methodological tools of the “rhetorical branch” of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and applying the Aristotelian concepts of ethos, logos and pathos, we analyze the bestselling popular title on Islam and Muslims ever published in Norway, namely Storhaug’s self-published 2015 title “Islam – The Eleventh Plague”. We argue that Storhaug’s popular success must be understood in light of her rhetorical appeals to femonationalism, the critique of religion and “Enlightenment” values. We show how she in her writings incites fear of the Muslim “Other” through specific rhetorical devices and a positioning of herself as a defender of the “nation” and the “people” – against national and international “elites”.

  Føler vi også et ubehag når vi er så priviligerte i global og urettferdig verden? Skandinaver er stort sett privilegerte. Gang på gang kåres vi som verdens rikeste, lykkeligste og mest egalitære land. Samtidig fører globaliseringen de ikke-privilegerte Andre rett inn i våre liv. Gjennom media og innvandring konfronteres vi daglig med bevisstheten om Andres lidelse, ikke minst flyktningenes. Et vell av samtidsfortellinger indikerer at den globale ulikheten ikke bare fører til at skandinaver priser seg lykkelige for egne privilegier, men også føler et ubehag og det vi kaller «skandinaviske skyldfølelser». I elleve artikler utforsker forfatterne av denne boken disse fortellingene om skyldfølelser (eller en tilsynelatende mangel på dem) i film, litteratur, politiske taler, tv-serier og undervisningsmateriell, fra «Hjernevask» til «Operasjon Dagsverk».
