  The chapter re-actualises Olav Duun’s classic Floodtide of Fate (Menneske og maktene, 1938) by emphasising how the sea is portrayed in the novel. While psychological, theological, and political-allegorical readings have dominated previous Duun scholarship, this analysis draws attention to the specific physical setting in the Norwegian writer’s final work and interrogates what might be the geological and oceanographic background for the prediction that opens the book. When findings from multiple disciplines are taken into consideration, it can be claimed that Duun has depicted a coastal community in which a flooding has already taken place and continues to work in the cultural memory of the author and his characters as well as in the minds of readers and critics. The chapter combines a blue humanities-inspired close reading with extra-literary mappings of the archipelagic environment Duun himself grew up in.

  Computational tools and the digital revolution propelled by the invention of the World Wide Web pervade every aspect of human existence, including the work life of researchers across the humanities, social and natural sciences, and staff at research libraries. The development of library systems over the last hundred years has been heavily influenced by the advent of information and computer science. Bibliographical work and metadata registry as a core activity within the world of libraries are permeated with computation, and this development opens up new avenues for digital approaches and data-driven research. This book presents a wide variety of approaches that explore the intersection between two very diverse fields of practice, bibliography and the production of library metadata on the one hand, and the use of computation in the humanities and social sciences on the other. How and to what extent has digitisation altered the field of bibliography and metadata production? What opportunities for conducting research on bibliographic data and cultural metadata are currently available?

  Based on a literary analysis of Marit Eikemo’s reportage essay Alt søkk i havet (»Everything sinks into the Sea«), the article shows how Norwegian sources might be valuable for international research on urbanized seascapes. The article demonstrates how a blue humanities approach sheds new light on Eikemo’s acclaimed writings, focusing on her depictions of interactions between marine life, humans, and built environments at the first oil plant in the North Sea.

  Kryosfæren har alltid spilt en viktig rolle for nordisk identitet. Den globale oppvarmingen rokker imidlertid ved tradisjonelle forestillinger om is, snø og frost, og utfordrer forfattere i dag til å tenke nytt omkring hvordan kryosfæren kan representeres litterært. Kapittelet trekker veksler på et rikt forråd av kultur- og miljøhistorisk kunnskap i drøftingen av hvordan nordiske samtidsforfattere i ulike sjangre fremstiller bresmelting og frykt for snøfrie vintre.

  Based on the assumption that the periodical press was crucial for synchronising the world and preparing for global energy transition in the early 20th C., the article proposes a historiog- raphy of oil that acknowledges newspapers’ excess capacity as research material and takes advantage of analytical approaches developed within print culture studies. Empirically, the article provides new knowledge on how US petroculture was negotiated in Scandinavia in the interwar era, using the press-mediated critical reception of Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil! in Sweden and Norway as a steppingstone. Increasingly accessible newspaper archives show that petroleum dominated 1920s print culture to such an extent that basic assumptions in contemporary petro- culture studies regarding oil’s invisibility must be reconsidered.

ISSN 9788230403624. p. 311–329. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  The Anthropocene - the era of humans - refers to a time when humanity has left its indelible stamp on the planet, including its geology and biogeochemistry. Understanding the Anthropocene, where the risk of irreversible and catastrophic ecological damage looms on the horizon, is a daunting task and solutions seem to be difficult to come by. What we offer in this book consists of fifteen perspectives on the Anthropocene written by scholars with backgrounds in over a dozen academic disciplines - archaeology, biology, geology, cultural history, literature, art history, science and technology studies, anthropology, political ecology, geography and law. Together, they offer tools enabling us to grasp the Anthropocene as a multifaceted phenomenon that requires attention from across the social and natural sciences as well as the humanities. Unlike most academic texts, these chapters are written in a personal and engaging style indicating not only that the Anthropocene is a worthy subject of scholarly attention, but that its implications are existentially important to the authors, who are not just researchers, but also global citizens.

  Ved å belyse hva det vil si å skrive på oppdrag gir artikkelen ny innsikt i Gunnar Wærness’ poetikk. Med utgangspunkt i Verden finnes ikke på kartet (2010), Griskokknetter (2014) og Ta på Jesus (2021) drøfter artikkelforfatteren hva slags funksjon bestillingsverket synes å ha i Wærness’ kulturelle virksomhet. Artikkelen viser hvordan penger og religion trer fram som viktige kraftkilder i Wærness’ grenseåpnende og fellesskapsbyggende diktning og hvordan dette stiller litteraturforskere overfor nye hermeneutiske utfordringer.

  At the end of Sigrid Undset’s medieval trilogy Kristin Lavransdatter (1920–1922), the heroine encounters the bubonic plague that so violently hit Europe in the mid-fourteenth century. The aim of this paper is to explore the connections between the 20th century novel and the European tradition of plague literature from the broader perspective of environmental history. Furthermore, it discusses the historical novel’s effect as a distant mirror for 20th and 21st century readers. An underlying argument is that the ethical imperative in Kristin Lavransdatter is affecting the way the protagonist encounters the plague, which may explain what distinguishes Undset from many of her contemporaries.

  Med utgangspunkt i en komparativ analyse av Carl Frode Tillers Begynnelser (2017) og Henrik Nor-Hansens En kort evaluering av psykososialt stress (2014) argumenterer forfatteren for behovet for en petroteoretisk oppdatering av nordisk økokritikk. Til tross for en økende interesse for petroleumskultur globalt befinner den norske oljen seg stadig i litteraturkritikkens blindsone. Artikkelen viser hvordan estetisk-psykologiske lesemåter har oversett romanenes energi-ubevisste og konkluderer med at resepsjonens usynliggjøring av oljen også er en konsekvens av den dominerende biodiversitetsdiskursen i norsk økokritikk.

  The article calls attention to how snow and ice are embodied as grievable entities in Nordic 21st century climate change fiction, arguing that contemporary fiction is a valuable apparatus for processing ecological mourning. The author draws theoretically on Ashlee Cunsolo’s work on ecological grief, while the overarching research question is how scientific warnings about global warming and shrinking cryosphere are dealt with emotionally and aesthetically in Nordic literature. A comparative analysis of the Scandinavian cli-fi novels Den afskyelige (»The abominable «, 2016), written by Danish Charlotte Weitze, and Steffen tar sin del av ansvaret (»Steffen takes his share of the responsibility«, 2009), by Norwegian Christian Valeur forms the backbone of the article. In both novels, the young protagonists are realizing that snow is a scarce resource, close to disappearing. Facing this fact arouses interrelated emotions of grief, guilt and confusion, but also gallows humour, gratitude and pride. From these observations, the author argues that fiction may play a crucial role for a deeper understanding of the emotional complex of climate anxiety, grief and resilience.

  Environmental and climatic change has become a frequent motif in contemporary Norwegian literature, television and film, and Norway has the worldwide first organization of writers committed to climate action (The Norwegian Writers’ Climate Campaign, founded in 2013). In this article, we argue that Norwegian climate change fiction and related works draw on elements that relate to specific national and/or Nordic cultural, societal and historical features, and that these elements give these works their distinct identity. We focus on four such features: (1) notions of “Nordicity”; (2) an (imagined) intimate connection between Norwegianness and nature, often seen as a typical element of Norwegian national identity; (3) references to Norwegian petroculture (since the Norwegian economy is largely based on the export of fossil fuels) , and (4) an atmosphere of gloom and melancholia in many of the works, which draws on a Nordic tradition of painting and literature, and which also often characterises the genre of Nordic noir.

• Furuseth, Sissel (2026). I dialog med havet. Olav Duuns betydning for blå humaniora. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  Sjøen er ein sentral aktør i Olav Duuns dikting. Sissel Furuseth viser i sitt foredrag korleis eit voksande tverrfagleg engasjement for hav og utsette kystlandskap kan gjere Duuns forfattarskap relevant igjen for nye generasjonar med lesarar. Blå humaniora er ein variant av økokritikk og miljøhumaniora som legg vekt på havets kulturelle og økologiske betydning. Furuseth argumenterer for at den internasjonale interessa for «blå» natur kan kome Duuns forfattarskap til gode, samtidig som fagfeltet blå humaniora treng Duuns tekster for empirisk støtte og nyansering. Ikkje minst kan Duuns kroppslege og usentimentale skildringar av sjøen hjelpe dagens kulturforskarar til å avromantisere idealiserte førestillingar om det våte element. Kanskje er ikkje havet blått når alt kjem til alt.

  The automobile as a site of erotic desire became a popular topos in 20th century fiction, as illustrated by, for example, Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 novel Lolita, Italo Calvino’s 1974 short story “La pompa di benzina”, and the 1978 film-musical Grease. Although heteronormativity pervades most of these narratives, a significant number of road fictions tell a different story. As Jenny Ingemarsdotter (2017) has pointed out, cars have the potential to induce “queer feelings” (cf. Sara Ahmed) in a quite specific sense. This paper focuses on two Scandinavian novels that portray female homosexual drivers. Published eighty-five years apart, Swedish Margareta Suber’s Charlie (1932) and Norwegian Runa Fjellanger’s På motorveiene (2017) represent what can be described as the beginning and the end, respectively, of automobility as a liberating cultural practice. The argument combines theoretical insights from petroculture studies, gender studies and affective ecocriticism.
