The Fear of “das Volk”: Karl Ove Knausgård's Reactions to Terrorism
Looking at the obituaries of the seventy-seven people who were killed in the terrorist attacks in Oslo and on the island of Utøya (22 July 2011), I am struck by the way they refer to the attacks as a \"tragedy.\" The two texts that I will focus on are the already mentioned radio essay and the reflections on the terror attacks as they were presented 3 months later in the sixth and final book of his novel Min kamp (My Struggle). The mode of experience is relational and performative at the same time. [...]through the reading voice of the author, the genre creates a peculiar presence and mode of telling that allows the listener to participate in the kind of \"person-to-person\" modality that is specific to the radio (McLuhan 1995, 299). Knausgård's reading takes the listener quickly to his main concern: \"Something terrible\" has happened out there, and this external event strikes the author remarkably because it has happened \"at home,\" in Norway.

Rettslig formgivingsarbeid etter terroren 22. juli 2011
The article focuses on some of the unprecedented forms of judicial practices that emerged during the trial of Anders Behring Breivik in Oslo City Court in Norway after the terror attacks perpetrated on July 22 2011. Embracing an interpretive point of view mainly inspired by the philosopher Ernst Cassirer, the article sheds light on various performative practices and shows how they contribute to giving the catastrophic event a specific form. In this perspective the law can be framed as a process through which the distinction between the lawful and the unlawful gradually is established and recognized by the parties involved.

Acts of Translation: Ruth Maier's Testimony and its Reception
This article examines Ruth Maier's testimony as a particularly rich multilingual testimony written by a young Austrian refugee in her Norwegian exile. It investigates Maier's testimony with focus on the interplay between authorship and the editorial process at different stages of its reception. It identifies some of the problematic editorial strategies in the Norwegian edition of Maier's diaries and a letter from 2007, and juxtaposes them, first with significant choices made in the German edition from 2008, and then with the translating effort that Maier's Norwegian friend the poet Gunvor Hofmo had already made immediately after World War II.
