Twofold Identities
Twofold Identities is a study of Midwestern American literature as well as of Norwegian-American immigrant texts. Many readers have judged the latter to be a mere reflection of immigrant experience, a judgment that is neither fair nor correct. These American writers were forced to confront an essentially modern experience complicated by the contextual duality of bilingualism. For early Midwestern immigrant writers and their readers, the task of homemaking in a new setting was a philosophically challenging and highly problematic endeavor. These Midwestern writers were not lost, divided, nor rootless. They had the unique privileged ability to draw on the resources of two worlds. As writers they enjoyed - and helped to strengthen - twofold identities.
Transnational American Memories
The volume gathers twenty original essays by experts of American memory studies from the United States and Europe. It extends discussions of U.S. American cultures of memory, commemorative identity construction, and the politics of remembrance into the topical field of transnational and comparative American studies. In the contexts of the theoretical turns since the 1990s, including prominently the pictorial and the spatial turns, and in the wake of multicultural and international conceptions of American history, the contributions to the collection explore the cultural productivity and political implications of both officially endorsed memories and practices of oppositional remembrance.

At føle paa nationens puls
Boka bygger på et Vinje-seminar ved Telemark distriktshøgskole i 1990 og inneholder artikler om ulike sider ved forfatterskapet til Aasmund O. Vinje. Hensikten med seminaret var å vise Vinjes internasjonale sider. Boka er et bidrag til Vinje-forskninga og har bl.a. med artikler om Vinjes teologi og natursyn, hans lyrikk, reiseskildringer og journalistikk. Artikler om Vinjesplass i leseverk og litteraturkritikk er også tatt med. Bokas tittel er hentet fra en artikkel Vinje skrev i Drammens Tidende i 1851 hvor han forklarte hva journalistens ansvar egentlig var.
