Social History in Norway in the 1970s and Beyond
The rise of the new social history ('sosialhistorie' in Norwegian) in Norway from around 1970 was more of an evolution than a revolution. The social aspect of Norwegian history writing had been important for decades, a trait which also may explain its success. What was unusual, however, was the conscious application of new terms, theories and methods, partly borrowed from the social sciences, and the introduction of 'social history' as a rallying…

Wanted and unwanted suburbs
The elevation of Christiania (Oslo) to the status of capital in 1814 gave impetus to a phenomenal urban growth during the rest of the century, from a population of 13,000 to one of 250,000. The appearance of a succession of new suburbs confronted Oslo’s inhabitants, the authorities of the city and the adjoining »kommune«, and the national authorities too with a number of challenges: political, legal, administrative and intellectual. Were the subu…

While crowding in towns and cities — about three-quarters of the population now live in urban settlements — the minds and lifestyles of Norwegians, their concept of the good life, are stubbornly rural. More or less the same applies to the Finns. The Danes, on the other hand, are conceived as quite the opposite, a fu…
Research into Norwegian living conditions in the period 1750–1914
The study of living conditions in Norway has no tradition as an historical research discipline in its own right. Nevertheless living conditions have not insignificant antecedents as a subject of research within the framework of other historical specialisms such as economic, social or demographic history. It is a common feature of these disciplines that they deal only with parts of the very broad field of study which we would today regard as being…
