A young imperialist adventurer turned hero of the anti-Nazi resistance, Norwegian journalist, poet, and playwright Nordahl Grieg has become more of a national legend than a real person since his death as a war reporter in Berlin in 1943. A look into Grieg's intellectual development during the dynamic interwar period sheds light on the political and cultural ideologies that competed in a turbulent Europe. Often portrayed with an emphasis on his humanist and pacifist positions, this antifascist figure becomes more complex in his writings, which reveal shifting allegiances, including an unsavory period as a rigid Stalinist. In The Making of an Antifascist: Nordahl Grieg Between the World Wars (U Wisconsin Press, 2022), Dean Krouk examines a significant public figure in Scandinavian literature and a critical period in modern European history through original readings of the political, ethical, and gender issues in Grieg's works. This volume offers a first-rate analysis of the interwar period's political and cultural agendas in Scandinavia and Europe leading to the Second World War by examining the rise of fascism, communism, and antifascism. Grieg's poetry found renewed resonance in Norway following the 2011 far-right domestic terrorist attacks, making insight into his contradictory ideas more crucial than ever. Krouk's presentation of Grieg's unexpected ideological tensions will be thought-provoking for many readers in the United States and elsewhere. Nicholas Misukanis is a doctoral candidate in the history department at the University of Maryland - College Park. He studies modern European and Middle Eastern history with a special emphasis on Germany and the role energy autonomy played in foreign and domestic German politics. He is currently working on his dissertation which analyzes why the West German government failed to convince the public to embrace nuclear energy and the ramifications this had on German politics between 1973 and 1986.

Hvordan sørger vi for god og inkluderende undervisning for elever med hørselsutfordringer? Hva innebærer dette for undervisningen? Hva er det å være en knutepunktskole? Er det mulig å ha tegnspråk som fremmedspråk i norske skoler? Er det vanskelig å få til? Jeg snakker med Sverre Urheim Lie som er fagleder for knutepunktskolen ved Nordahl Grieg videregående skole i Bergen. Hvis du er nysgjerrig på å innføre tegnspråk som fremmedspråk i egen skole før eller etter å ha hørt episoden så finner du lenke til læreplaner og faginformasjon for både ungdomsskole og videregående i shownotes.
"Kringsatt av fiender" skrev Nordahl Grieg i diktet "Til Ungdommen". "Helt ærlig vi skal stjele månen, du burde joine" sa Marmor-gutta i episoden "Til Ungdommen". Gjesten er Jon Vassenden og han er vår nye ungdomsorganisasjonsleder.
Utdrag fra lydboka «Vandreutstillinger», lest av forfatter Cecilie Løveid. Om boka: «Vandreutstillinger» er en samling dikt om kunst og kunstnere, deres liv eller verker. Diktene er refleksjoner i møtet med kunsten og forsøker seg på nye helgenkåringer innenfor feltet. Løveid kommenterer like gjerne ulike kunstverk, som hun prøver å gjenskape kunstverket i teksten. Diktene inviterer leseren til refleksjoner rundt språk, politikk, og historie. Diktene i «Vandreutstillinger» omtaler kunstnere og forfattere som Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol, William Turner, Sasha Waltz, Graciela Iturbide, Kitty Kielland, Sigbjørn Obstfelder, Gunvor Hofmo, Jonas Dahlberg, Nordahl Grieg, Helge Skodvin, Nelly Sachs, Paul Celan, Lisbeth Bodd, Angela Winkler, Peggy Guggenheim (kunstsamler), Francisco Goya, Marcel Duchamps, Marina Abramović, Jan Groth og John Donne. Løveids poesi er fabulerende. Filosofisk og leken velger hun sin egen posisjon – de stedene der hun vil forstå, og de stedene det er mulig å stå, misforstå, eller gå. Boka ble tildelt Brageprisen 2017 og Kritikerprisen 2017.
Er spill i undervisningen bare for moro? Eller kan det bidra med noe ekstra? Hva skiller spillteknologi fra andre teknologier som blyanten, tavlen, projektoren, og andre utviklinger i skolens historie? Når skal vi ikke bruke spill og hva kan vi ikke bruke det til? Jeg snakker med Aleksander Husøy og Tobias Staaby. De er lærere ved Nordahl Grieg videregående skole i Bergen og med i Spillpedagogene. De er med på å utgi en bok om spillpedagogikk, så de tror jeg er de riktige å spørre om dette.
Hvordan kan man bruke spill i undervisningen? Kan spill erstatte tavleundervisningen? Kan læringen foregå gjennom spill? Hvordan kan man ta en doktorgrad som en del av en lærerjobb? Dette er bare noen av spørsmålene jeg drøfter med Tobias Staaby, spillpedagog og lærerved Nordahl Grieg videregående skole. Han er også i gang med en doktorgrad om temaet ved Universitetet i Bergen. Her får du myteknusing og praktiske eksempler på bruk av spill i skolen.
Nordahl Grieg videregående skole har nettopp fått godkjent en søknad om offentlig Ph.D om spill i skolen. I denne episoden snakker vi derfor om forskning på spill i skolen og de spørsmålene som følger her. Hva skal til for god undervisning? Gir spill i skolen bedre resultater? Eller finnes det andre og bedre grunner til å game i skolen? Vi snakker også om spill og samarbeid, med eksempler fra Sea of Thieves og One Hour One Life. Hva er godt samarbeid i spill, og hva har dette med norsk politisk debatt å gjøre? Diskusjonen går også innom den hydraen av et begrep som er «gamification», og de misoppfatninger som klistrer seg til dette. Siste stasjon er læringsspill, blant annet Minecraft EDU, forholdet mellom hva skolefolk trenger og hva læringsspillfolk tilbyr, og de muligheter og begrensninger som ligger der. God fornøyelse! Bloggen til Halvor Thengs er for øvrig leselekse etter å ha hørt episoden: http://hthengs.wixsite.com/delogbruk/single-post/2018/03/20/Demokrati-et-multiplayer-game-of-civilization-building
I dagens episode handler det om Vilde Natalie Himmelvåg, som lagde sin egen avtale med spritsmuglera på skogen i 10 år´s alderen, bidro fær at fattighuset skulle ha det bra og ho var en jævel på å snekre trehytter. I dagens episode er Kjersti Dalseide brevleser, og en liten bit tå brevet ho læser er hente ifrå Nordahl Grieg´s dikt "Det Tredje Fottrinn".
Litteraturhistoriker og tidligere forlegger Janneken Øverland kåserer om de viktigste forfatterne og strømningene i norsk litteratur i perioden 1926-46. Del av arrangementsserien Litteraturlørdag på Sølvberget.
I anledning nasjonaldagen går vi tilbake i tid. Nordahl Grieg leser sitt dikt «17. mai 1940.» Diktet ble kjent da forfatteren selv leste det over radio i NRKs radiostasjon i Tromsø på nasjonaldagen i 1940. Diktet ble skrevet i lugaren på en av fiskeskøytene som fraktet store deler av Norges Banks gullbeholdning fra Frøya til Tromsø. Og senere gitt ut i den posthume diktsamlingen «Friheten på Gyldendal» i 1945.
Med Tore Vagn Lid og Cecilie Løveid. I 1935 var det urpremiere på Nordahl Griegs teaterstykke Vår Ære og Vår Makt på Den Nationale Scene. Handlingen er lagt til første verdenskrig og beskriver de ekstreme kontrastene mellom fattige sjømenn og spekulative redere i «jobbetiden». Aldri før hadde byen, og dens rike menn, blitt stilt i så grelt lys. Den nye forestillingen Vår ære/vår makt som har urpremiere på DNS 29. januar, bruker Nordahl Griegs stykke som en portal tilbake i tid. Teateret blir et mørkerom og forestillingen fremkaller en fortrengt side av byens kollektive hukommelse. Skuespillere og musikere er i den nye oppsetningen ”fremkallere” – de henter frem glemte sider ved bergensernes fortid som har vært med å prege dem de har blitt, og de konfronterer Nordahl Grieg selv, som plutselig er tilbake på DNS i 2016. Det er Tore Vagn Lid og Cecilie Løveid som har skrevet Vår ære/vår makt. Løveid vant nylig Ibsenprisen og Tore Vagn Lid har også fått en rekke utmerkelser for sine forestillinger. Han er kjent for sitt skarpe blikk på aktuelle problemstillinger og for å bruke både film, foto og musikk i teaterproduksjonene. I Vår ære/vår makt gransker Lid og Løveid forholdet mellom Griegs manus, vår samtid og teaterkunsten, og denne kvelden vil de snakke om hvordan de har jobbet. Samtalen ledes av dramaturg Solrun Iversen.

Programleder Marta Norheim snakker om Gudmund Skjeldals nye Nordahl Grieg-biografi med Klassekampens Tom Egil Hverven og NRK-kritiker Leif Ekle. Knut Hoem tar for seg nye dikt fra Günther Grass.
Sak fra Kulturnytt 1630 i NRK P2 18.10.2012
Vi holder fortsatt blikket på norske biografier. Møt Gudmund Skjeldal som håper å skrive om Nordahl Grieg med et distansert blikk. Leif Ekle anmelder Helle Helles "Dette burde skrives i nåtid" og Knut Hoem anmelder Magnus Lintons "De hatade". Programleder er Marta Norheim.
Denne ukas sending av Utenriksmagasinet MIR hadde media og krig som tema. Vi intervjuet Urban Løvquist fra Reporters Without Borders og prisvinnene journalist Mohammad Omer og vi tok en titt på en historisk skikkelse innen krigsjournalistikk, nemlig Nordahl Grieg. Vi håper denne ukas UMIR kan vise at i tillegg til livsnødvendig humanitær hjelp i en krigssituasjon så trenger også offrene å vite at noen gjør alt de kan for å dele deres historie med omverden.
