An Arctic Discovery: Articles in Honour of Marie-Theres Federhofer and Michael Schmidt
No. 50 (2022)Das Jahr 2022 steht für zwei wichtige Jubiläen: Michael Schmidt feiert seinen 70. Geburtstag und wird nach einer langen akademischen Karriere Professor emeritus. Michael ist seit nunmehr 49 Jahren der Universitäts- und Hochschulwelt verbunden und war die letzten 28 Jahre an der Universität Tromsø angestellt. Marie-Theres Federhofer wird 60 Jahre alt und kehrt nach vier Jahren als Henrik-Steffens-Professorin an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin auf ihre Stelle als Professorin für deutsche Literatur an die Universität Tromsø zurück, wo sie zudem als Prodekanin für Forschung an der HSL-Fakultät wirken wird. Diese Jubiläen geben reichlich Anlass zum Feiern, die wir als Freundinnen und Freunde, Kollegen und Kolleginnen, sowie als ehemalige Studierende der Beiden mit dieser Festschrift gebührend würdigen möchten.

Åpent nummer
Vol. 49 (2022)The year's first Nordlit-volume consists of five unrelated articles. Anne Hemkendreis writes about Thule-stamps that circulated between Greenland and Denmark in the 1930s, Per Esben Myren-Svelstad's article is about the Norwegian author Åsmund Sveen's role as both poet and editor before and during World War II, while Ruben Moi has read the Irish poet Paul Muldoon's lyrical «translation» of the famous Celtic poem «Pangur Bán». Also, Benedikt Jager discusses the influence of drugs in various short stories and novels by the Norwegian author Ingvar Ambjørnsen, and Rikke Andersen Kraglund reads Karl Ove Knausgård's novel The Morning Star as an apocalyptic science fiction-novel. Enjoy the articles!
Nordlit will be back with a special issue in the fall of 2022.

Conceptualizing the North
No. 46 (2020)Photo: ©NORDTING. Used with permission.
Edited by Kate Maxwell, Lilli Mittner, and Hanne Hammer Stien
The special issue Conceptualizing the North unites theoretical and artistic understandings of and perspectives from ‘the north’. As an area that emerges as forbidding, fragile, and fluid, with stark contrasts, the northern regions of the planet have long fascinated artists and scientists. With climate change threating the ecology of these regions, their - our - future is unknown.
The issue offers a combination of disciplines and approaches, and is deliberately broad in scope. Through its three sections, entitled ‘travelling’, ‘dwelling’, and ‘composing’, the reader is invited to conceptualize the north through visual art, music, poetry, comics, film, history, museums, sagas, and stories. From their standpoint at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, the editors’ opening article presents the north, its communities, those living and working in and on the region, as co-creative kin. We look forward to you joining us.
