Vernacular Literacies - Past, Present and Future
- 2014
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This anthology is the outcome of a Nordic literacy-conference held at Umeå University in Sweden in June 2012, where the focus was vernacular literacy practices of the past, of the present and of the future. Vernacular literacy practices have become increasingly prominent in everyday life, especially in social media through digital technology. However, vernacular literacy is not a new phenomenon. The written word has been used for everyday purposes throughout history, in various media and using different technologies. Twenty papers from the conference are presented in this volume, with a predominance of articles dealing with the past. The historical section embraces literacy practices through the Viking Ageto the beginning of the twentieth century in Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Estonia. The contemporary section includes workplace literacies, digital literacies and literacy practices in the educational domain in a Swedish context. The volume is multi-lingual with articles in English and in the Scandinavian languages. The articles written in Swedish, Danish or Norwegian are accompanied by abstracts in English. The conference was hosted and organized by the Nordic network Vernacular Literacies, in cooperation with the Nordic project Reading and Writing from Below, and was funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (‘The Swedish foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences’). Letterstedska föreningen and the Department of Language Studies at Umeå University have contributed to the production of the volume.

Bygden, byarna och buan : studier av bebyggelsenamnen i Hackås och Ovikens socknar, med ett särskilt avsnitt om fäbodnamnen

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate the etymological background of the settlement names in the parishes of Hackås and Oviken in the province of Jämtland, and use the names to elucidate the settlement history of the area. Another purpose is to discuss the relationship between, and the semantic development of, the name element and common noun ås. Furthermore, the purpose is to describe the name usage and the name continuity amongst the summer farm names. The selection of names is based on the principles used in the publication series Sveriges ortnamn [The place-names of Sweden], in which this study will be incorporated. In essence, that includes parish names, village names and names of independent farms. In addition to that, summer farm names are analysed. The material has primarily been collected from the Place-name Archive in Uppsala (OAU), and then supplemented through extracting name forms from historical maps and different land registry records. Regarding the summer farm names, workshops have been conducted in collaboration with the local community associations in Hackås and Oviken, which have been the basis for the name continuity discussion. The summer farm names are also morphologically and semantically analysed to reveal patterns in construction and usage. The linguistic analysis of the individual village names in Hackås and Oviken, together with archaeological finds, suggest that there was an Iron Age community in Hackås, while the Oviken area has been used for example as fishing/hunting grounds and was colonised to a greater extent in the medieval era. In Hackås there are several place-names judged to be pre-Christian, such as Hov, Sanne, Salom and the several names constructed with -sta(d). Oviken parish show signs of quick settlement expansion, such as the large number of names with (-)ås or -gård. The name element ås has, because of a large number of medieval settlements founded around the same time, also started to function as denoting settlements, side by side with the nature-describing meaning carried by the common noun. This explains the number of names containing -ås denoting places that does not show the usual characteristics for an ås. Results of the summer farm name analysis show typical structures; summer farm names are often compound and reference ownership/usership or the location. The name usage is an oral rather than written practise. Name continuity for summer farm names has decreased during the last decades as transhumance is no longer widely practised, and several names in the study are unknown to locals.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we explore the relationship between unofficial personal names and socialidentification in a peasant diary from Kågeträsk in the county of Västerbotten, datingfrom 1891–1901. From a total of 208 unique personal names we have extracted 169 unofficial personal names. Three categories of unofficial names have thereby been identified and closely analysed. The social aspects that are highlighted in the name formation are gender, place and kinship. The most extensive category consists of names where the kinship relation to the father is indicated: Adams Oskar and Nickes Tilda (60 names). The second category consists of unofficial names formed in relation to place-names: Bastulid-Johan and Strand-Alma (44 names). The third category consistsof personal names for married women given in relation to the name of her husband:Roberts Greta (17 names). The analysis shows that gender is a particularly salient social aspect in all three categories. The most part of the unofficial names used in the diary are men’s names, either their own unofficial name or the name of theirson, daughter or wife. The kinship relations that are indicated by the unofficial names hereby departs from the man in the household, whereas the kinship relations to the woman in the household are unmarked and therefore invisible in the personal naming. The social identification that is indicated by the personal names may also position women and men in different social domains. Both men and women may be identified by their kinship relation to their father and their belonging to a certain place. But while men tend to be identified as sons belonging to the village, women tend to be identified both as servants, daughters, wives or daughters-in-law belonging to the particular farm.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Kågeträskdagboken, som i det här arbetet studeras, tillkom åren 1891–1901 och är skriven av två hemmavarande döttrar på gården Anten-Ors i byn Storkågeträsk, Skellefteå: Greta Dahlqvist (1859–1947) och Lovisa Dahlqvist (1862–1938).I uppsatsen utforskas den språkliga identifikation som skribenternas ortografiska val i dagboksskrivandet möjliggör. Det är uppenbart att skribenterna gör självständiga ortografiska val samtidigt som det finns inslag av normerad och standardiserad ortografi. Vi ställer oss frågan i vilken utsträckning skribenterna tillämpar ortografiska stavningsmönster.För det första undersöker vi i vilken utsträckning de båda dagboksskrivande systrarna tillämpar enskilda ortografiska normer. Här har vi valt att studera skribenternas användning av ett urval normerade ortografiska variabler.För det andra undersöker vi hur skribenterna valt att representera dialektord och lokala ortnamn i skrift där normen är obefintlig respektive mindre känd eller okänd. Tillämpar de konstans eller variation i stavningen av enskilda dialektord och lokala ortnamn?
