Journal Article
Poetic Resistance: Girls’ Autograph Albums during World War II in Norway
2022
Overview
The analysis includes different aspects of the texts: the memory verses, the illustrations, and the spelling. Because Norway was occupied by Germany starting in the Spring of 1940, all explicit utterances of national feelings-like singing or writing the national hymn, or hoisting or drawing the flag-were forbidden. Vello Helk (1994, 173) supposes that the spread of the genre to other parts of Europe is due to foreign students taking the habit with them back to their home countries after the end of their university years. At the beginning, autograph books were owned by young, male, reference-seeking men, but soon the genre followed the trend of several cultural expressions in Western society: it started to spread socially to include middle- and, later, working-class men and women (Ekrem 2002, 115). At the start of the twentieth century, most album owners were young adults, but the typical age dropped, first to young teenagers in the first half of the century, and later to seven- and eightyear-olds by the latter half of the century (Klintberg 1978, 69).
