In 1889, Vilhelm Hammershoi (1864-1916) exhibited for the first time outside Scandinavia, contributing four of the 190 oil paintings that Denmark sent to the Exposition Universelle in Paris, where he was awarded a bronze medal. There has been some confusion, with five extant paintings being proposed for the four pictures that were catalogued and exhibited. These five pictures are: Portrait of a Young Woman. The Artist's Sister, Anna Hammershoi , 1885, Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen. This picture was not exhibited in Paris, but was entered for the Neuhaus prize in Denmark, where its lack of success caused an outcry, and was instrumental in provoking the foundation of Den Frie Udstilling in 1891. In contrast to scholarship that suggests works by Christen Kobke as a likely role model, I propose an earlier Portrait of the Artist's Sister (1847) by Julius Exner. E tude : A Baker's Shop ( En Bagerbutik ), 1888, Vejen Kunstmuseum. Catalogue number 44 at the 1889 Exposition Universelle . Evidence is provided to confirm that the work exhibited in Paris as Etude is A Baker's Shop . Its radical nature is discussed, and proposes links to modern artists like Mondrian, Rothko and Malevich, as well as Gerhard ter Borch and Caspar David Friedrich. Vielle Femme : An Old Woman ( En Gammel Kone ), 1886, Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen. Catalogue number 45 at the 1889 Exposition Universelle .

The contribution investigates culinary transitions between Sweden and Europe in Torgny Lindgren's and Ella Nilsson's epistolary cookbook, Maten. Hunger och torst i Vasterbotten (2003) (Food: Hunger and Thirst in Vasterbotten). With a theoretical starting point in discourse-analytic approaches to nationalistic ideology, primarily elaborated within cultural studies, the contribution examines uses of the binarity of Sweden/Europe in essentialist and deconstructive practices of the cookbook. The argument comprises three parts. In the first part, the cookbook's conception of Vasterbottenian cuisine is scrutinized. It is argued that Lindgren's and Nilsson's construction of gastronomic Vasterbottenianness brings into play a whole range of rhetorical strategies that are usually utilized to construct national cuisines. Vasterbottenian cookery is: (a) codified as a normative canon, (b) connected to a specific place, to a historical tradition and to ritualized customs, (c) defined as a restitution project preserving regional heritage from entropy, and (d) organized according to certain culinary icons, each of which mythologically incarnates some part of the "soul" of the region. The second part discusses the position of Europe on the cookbook's gastronomic map. The concept of Europeanness in Maten is shown to be constructed as a cultural "Other" and – by analogy with other counter-images – (a) excluded from the field of genuine cookery, (b) smuggled into the cookbook's culinary discourse through devices of disguise and (c) manifest in "typical" Vasterbottnian recipes its presence in "typical" Vasterbottenian recipes by generating contradictions, semantic displacements and aporetic paradoxes. The final part examines the role of Sweden among the cookbook's gastronomic identities. Unlike traditional cookery books dedicated to Swedish national cuisine, Maten problematizes the relationship between centre and periphery, constructing Swedishness as a "double" identity: both the internalized "Self" and the oppressive "Other". Correspondingly, Lindgren and Nilsson have an ambiguous, partly ironic, attitude towards their own local patriotic cuisine project using the notion of "Saminess" to undermine Vasterbottenian culinary logocentrism.
这篇文章调查了托尼·林格伦和埃拉·尼尔森的书信体烹饪书《马滕》中瑞典和欧洲之间的烹饪转变。《饥饿与干渴》(2003)(Food: Hunger and Thirst in Vasterbotten)。以民族主义意识形态的话语分析方法为理论起点，主要在文化研究中阐述，贡献考察了瑞典/欧洲二元性在烹饪书的本质主义和解构主义实践中的应用。该论点包括三部分。在第一部分，烹饪书的概念，韦斯特博滕的烹饪是仔细审查。本文认为，林格伦和尼尔森对美食的“韦斯特波特性”(Vasterbottenianness)的建构运用了一系列通常用于建构民族美食的修辞策略。Vasterbottenian的烹饪:(a)被编纂为规范的标准，(b)与特定的地方、历史传统和仪式化的习俗相联系，(c)被定义为保护地区遗产免受熵的恢复项目，(d)根据某些烹饪图标进行组织，每一个图标都在神话中代表了该地区“灵魂”的某些部分。第二部分讨论了欧洲在烹饪书的美食地图上的位置。在Maten中，欧洲性的概念被构建为一个文化“他者”，并且——通过类比其他反意象——(a)被排除在真正的烹饪领域之外，(b)通过伪装的手段被偷运到烹饪书的烹饪话语中，(c)通过产生矛盾、语义置换和虚假悖论，在“典型的”韦斯特波特尼亚食谱中体现出它在“典型的”韦斯特波特尼亚食谱中的存在。最后一部分考察了瑞典在这本烹饪书的美食身份中的作用。与传统的瑞典民族美食烹饪书籍不同，Maten将中心和边缘之间的关系问题化，将瑞典性构建为“双重”身份:内化的“自我”和压迫性的“他者”。相应地，Lindgren和Nilsson对他们自己的当地爱国烹饪项目持一种模棱两可的，部分讽刺的态度，他们使用“Saminess”的概念来破坏Vasterbottenian的烹饪符号中心主义。

This contribution, theoretically and methodologically inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's concept of a literary field, analyses the case of Finland-Swedish literature translations into Czech. This literature is viewed as Swedish-language minority literature in Finland after 1900. The field of literary production is small, but nevertheless represents a varied Finland-Swedish 'segment' in the Czech field. As such it constitutes a certain publishing field, having two polarities (commercial/intellectual; young/old) and being entered into by publishers and translators who select writers and books from a certain space of possibles. Print runs of the published books and the distribution of publishing grants are explored with a view to the sociological character of the research. The analysis is divided into sections according to genres and their presupposed place in the field. It is found that while the mechanisms in the Czech publishing field of Finland-Swedish literature are fragmentary (many different authors, works, translators and publishers), the Bourdieusian approach is a productive framework through which to view the division between the intellectual and commercial poles. The position of Finland-Swedish modernist poetry and prose is – Edith Sodergran, Bo Carpelan and Hagar Olsson, published by Prace and Odeon publishers – is especially significant on the intellectual pole, as well as the position of their advocates within the Czech field (e.g. Josef B. Michl). Short stories, extracts and essays, often belonging to the Finland-Swedish classics (e.g. Christer Kihlman, Henrik Tikkanen), were mainly published in cultural reviews. Finland-Swedish prose is the most varied category, encompassing a broad spectrum of authors and works. Finland-Swedish drama is represented by Bo Ahlfors and the translator of his works Frantisek Frohlich, while commercially successful literature is represented by Sally Salminen's books, published by A. Neubert and Tove Jansson's Moomins. Some of them were translated from Swedish by Libor Stukavec and published by Albatros, others were translated from English and published by Argo.
本书在理论和方法上受到皮埃尔·布迪厄文学领域概念的启发，分析了芬兰-瑞典文学翻译成捷克语的案例。这种文学被视为1900年后芬兰的瑞典语少数民族文学。文学生产领域很小，但在捷克领域中代表了芬兰-瑞典的不同“部分”。因此，它构成了一个特定的出版领域，具有两个极端(商业/知识;年轻/年老)，由出版商和翻译家从一定的可能性空间中选择作家和书籍。出版书籍的印刷量和出版补助金的分配是为了研究的社会学特征而探索的。分析根据流派及其在该领域的预设位置分为几个部分。研究发现，虽然芬兰瑞典文学在捷克出版领域的机制是支离破碎的(许多不同的作者、作品、译者和出版商)，但布尔迪厄主义的方法是一个富有成效的框架，通过它来看待知识分子和商业两极之间的划分。芬兰-瑞典现代主义诗歌和散文的地位——由Prace和Odeon出版社出版的Edith Sodergran, Bo Carpelan和Hagar Olsson——在知识分子的极具意义，以及他们在捷克领域的拥护者的地位(例如Josef B. Michl)。短篇小说、节选和散文，通常属于芬兰和瑞典的经典作品(如克里斯特·基尔曼、亨里克·蒂卡宁)，主要发表在文化评论上。芬兰-瑞典散文是最多样化的类别，涵盖了广泛的作者和作品。芬兰-瑞典的戏剧以Bo Ahlfors和他的作品的翻译Frantisek Frohlich为代表，而商业上成功的文学以Sally Salminen的书为代表，由A. Neubert出版，Tove Jansson的Moomins。其中一些是由Libor Stukavec从瑞典语翻译而来，由Albatros出版，另一些是由英语翻译而来，由Argo出版。

The contribution discusses how Niviaq Korneliussen's novel Homo sapienne (2014) presents new orientations both concerning the theme within the novel, as well as within the Greenlandic literary field. The novel questions what constitutes Greenlandic identity by exploring the experience of someone who falls outside heteronormative structures and struggles with the individual experience of identity. Korneliussen presents different experiences of queerness in an urban environment in Greenland today. Throughout its history under Danish rule, Greenlandic identity and its literature have long developed through an exploration of the colonial and postcolonial aspects of its relationship to Denmark. Korneliussen shows how the relationship between Greenland and Denmark, although still part of the history of Greenland, is no longer a primary element in local processes of identity formation that are given centre stage in contemporary Greenlandic literature. The topics discussed in the novel, as well as its textual elements, which also incorporate contemporary forms of communication such as text messages and Facebook posts, generated a lot of debate in both the Greenlandic and Danish media, especially with regard to the list that explains what it actually means to be a Greenlander. The novel shows how by focusing inwards on Greenlandic identity and by refusing to take a self-pitying stance, Greenlandic literature is opened up to a broader literary field, claiming a spot for Greenlandic literature in its own right. The discussion of Korneliussen's novel in the national and international literary field has established her as a new pioneering voice, revealing new orientations within Greenlandic literature and its position within the Nordic literary field.

The aim of the contribution is twofold. Firstly, it will present Age Meyer Benedictsen (1866-1927) as an individual who, although not widely known, has contributed significantly to cultural exchange between Denmark and a number of countries which did not exist on the political map of his time. The contribution will outline his broad activities, which ranged from the study of languages and globetrotting to literary translations, public lectures, humanitarian work and writing. Secondly, the focus will turn to his book, Et Folk der vaagner. Kulturbilleder fra Litaven (1895), which is placed in the historical context of Lithuania's colonization by two world powers, Germany and Russia, as well as its national awakening, which took place at the end of the nineteenth century and which Benedictsen personally experienced. It will further deal with Benedictsen's treatment of his material, the attempt to provide a holistic picture of Lithuanian life by covering its multiple aspects: geography, history, customs, mythology, folk culture, political and social circumstances. Special emphasis will be given to Benedictsen's view of culture as a key aspect in the formation of national consciousness, which was much influenced by Herder's thought. The contribution will comment on Benedictsen's translation of Lithuanian songs and raise questions for further investigation. In addition, some literary strategies of the book, through which it transgresses the conventional boundaries of ethnographic writing, will be discussed. Finally, the contribution will reflect on the possible significance of this book and its relevance for the present day.
捐款的目的是双重的。首先，它将介绍梅尔·本尼迪克森(1866-1927)作为一个人，虽然不广为人知，但他对丹麦和一些在他那个时代的政治地图上不存在的国家之间的文化交流做出了重大贡献。这本书将概述他的广泛活动，从语言研究和环球旅行到文学翻译、公开演讲、人道主义工作和写作。其次，重点将转向他的书，Et Folk der vagner。《立陶宛文化》(1895)，它被置于立陶宛被两个世界大国，德国和俄罗斯殖民的历史背景下，以及它的民族觉醒，这发生在19世纪末，本尼迪克森亲身经历过。它将进一步处理本尼迪克森对他的材料的处理，试图通过涵盖其多个方面来提供立陶宛生活的整体图景:地理，历史，习俗，神话，民间文化，政治和社会环境。本章将特别强调本尼迪克森的文化观是民族意识形成的一个关键方面，这一观点受到了赫尔德思想的很大影响。这篇文章将评论Benedictsen对立陶宛歌曲的翻译，并提出进一步调查的问题。此外，本书的一些文学策略，通过它突破了民族志写作的传统界限，将被讨论。最后，贡献将反映这本书的可能意义及其对当今的相关性。

The contribution attempts to analyse aspects of language and translation as a part of a migration experience. The point of departure for the analysis is selected works by three Polish-Danish authors. The above-mentioned aspects are considered to be a permanent fixture in Polish-Scandinavian migration literature. The term 'translation' should not only be understood as a linguistic operation but also as a necessary attempt to make oneself and one's own identity understandable in a new cultural and intellectual context. The authors (Janina Katz, Alicja Fenigsen and Bronislaw Świderski) are all Polish Jews, who had to leave Poland after 1968, during a period of increasing anti-Semitism. They present different attitudes and feelings (nostalgia, duplicity and rootlessness) towards their mother tongue, Polish, and different strategies on how to deal with the foreign reality – from attempting to assimilate to recognizing the impossibility of altering their image (and self-image) as strangers. Although all the works analysed are autobiographically inspired, they express the universal condition of the subject in an era of migration.

Although all the works analysed are autobiographically inspired, they express the universal condition of the subject in an era of migration.","PeriodicalId":277121,"journal":{"name":"Transit – 'Norden' och 'Europa'","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122377310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Swedish is one of several pluricentric languages in the world. In both Sweden and Finland there are people who use Swedish as their mother tongue alongside Finnish as a second language. The language variety of the Swedish-speaking Finns is called Finland-Swedish and has been studied for more than a century. It has also been, and still is, an object of language maintenance and language planning. In this contribution, the concept of pluricentrism is explained using the example of Swedish. Sweden-Swedish is generally known as the dominant variety and Finland-Swedish the dominated version. While the difference between the two is noticeable when the language is spoken, in writing, the same standards apply. However, fiction written by Finland-Swedish authors often uses non-standard elements that are considered typical Finland-Swedish, including loans from local dialects and slang, and sometimes from Finnish. The same can be said about authors in Belgium writing in Belgian Dutch and aiming at what could be called sociolinguistic realism. The choice of the author may or may not coincide with the language policy of the publisher in question. At the end of this contribution, a few Finland-Swedish authors express their thoughts about the cooperation between authors and editors in relation to the correctness of language and style.

The article focuses on the image of Iceland and Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It is especially concerned with the aesthetics or discourse of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics or discourse in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. Among those studied are the nineteenth-century poets Bjarni Thorarensen (1786-1841), Jonas Hallgrimsson (1807-1845), Grimur Thomsen (1820-1896) and Steingrimur Thorsteinsson (1831-1913), along with a number of contemporary Icelandic writers. Other literary discourses also come into play, such as representing Iceland as "the Hellas of the North", with the pastoral mode or discourse proving to have a lasting appeal to Icelandic writers and often featuring as the opposite of the sublime in literary descriptions of Iceland.
