Despite low numbers, Norwegian whaling continues Norway's 175 or so whale hunters say they have had a tough season at sea, with choppy water camouflaging their prey and anti-whaling protests marked by gunfire and boat collisions.

The one who got away: Norwegian bin Laden humor (Part I of II) Being an enormous admirer of Kathleen Stokker’s work, <I>Folklore Fights the Nazis: Humor in Occupied Norway 1940-1945</I> (1995), I couldn’t help but take notice when anti-bin Laden jokes started filtering into my inbox. Most Americans, at least, have received more than their share of anti-Taliban, anti-bin Laden witticisms and manipulated images. As Stokker suggested of humor in occupied Norway, these kinds of jokes serve to bind citizens together in a common sense of patriotism and resistance. They not only inspire a light-hearted optimism in the face of tragedy, but also foreground expectant hopes in the directed search for the one who got away. So, how do Norwegian anti-bin Laden jokes figure into this scheme? osama bin laden • jokes • norway • wwii • war humor
The one who got away: Norwegian bin Laden humor (Part II of II) With Osama bin Laden as the missing value, since his disappearance, these jokes fill in the gaps of uncertainty regarding what will happen in the future, how our identity is defined, and how humanity is a shared condition. They are a response to questions about what we would do, what we have done, and what we know has been done. Furthermore, these jokes differentiate Norway from the US by appealing to previous traditions of war-time experience – those of occupied Norway. With these jokes, a sympathetic hand is warily extended, cognizant of the fact that all hands are soiled. As the saying goes, “In the dark, all cats are gray.” osama bin laden • taliban • jokes • norwegian • wwii

Barnetro (Part II of II) Translated variously as childhood "faith," "belief," "superstition," "innocence," "foolishness," "gullibility," and "naiveté," the Norwegian term <i>barnetro</i> is a difficult one to pin down. Used most commonly in reference to religion, it's easy to mistake the word as simply mapping on to conceptions of Christian faith and childlike trust in God. Despite this, as a brief look at the term's usage in song and poetry, it's evident that barnetro has broader applications. barnetro • childhood faith • norwegian parent-child relations • innocence • religion

The Sacred and the Secular: Confirmation in Norway Confirmation in Norway has held a variety of meanings since the introduction of Christianity to the country by Olav Tryggvason. From a point of formalized entry into the spiritual world, it has diverged to take on multiple forms for the Norwegian populace. An initiation into the world of adulthood, a point of resistance against an oppressive religious order, and an area of status negotiation, ritual confirmation has broadened its borders and surpassed even, in true Weberian form, the constraints of organized religion to become a civic, rather than religious, activity. confirmation in norway • religious • sacred • secular • change
