Maria - et forbillede for kristne? Grundtvigs syn på Jomfru Maria
Authors: Ditlevsen Kirsten
Published: September 2020

Mary - a Model for Christians..... ?  Grundtvig’s View of Virgin MaryBy Kirsten DitlevsenThe Protestant Church has always tended to keep warily aloof from the Virgin Mary, and still does. After the Reformation, Mary played a very insignificant role in the church, at least up to the time of Grundtvig. The fact is that Grundtvig begins to take an interest in Mary, inspired by the church father Irenaeus. Grundtvig compares Eve in the Garden of Eden with Mary in Nazareth. Both women were met with an angel’s talk. A false angel beguiled Eve into violating the word of God; while a true angel came to Mary to announce to her that she was to give birth to the Saviour of the world. Mary immediately accepted being part of God’s plan of salvation, thus excusing Eve, her mother. In the words of Irenaeus: Mary’s virgin obedience makes up for Eve’s virgin disobedience.Inspired by Irenaeus, Grundtvig sees Mary as a guarantee of the humanity of Jesus. Jesus had a true human being as his mother, and Grundtvig describes her as an entirely ordinary mother, definitely not infallible. She is conscious that she is a humble and poor woman, whom God had granted His grace. Mary had not imagined that she should be found worthy of meeting and conversing with an angel, as it happened at the Annunciation. But nothing is impossible to God.Grundtvig makes Mary into a model for Christians because she trusts Jesus fully and firmly at the wedding in Cana; in the same manner we should trust Him so that he will help us as He helped His mother.Grundtvig also makes Mary an image of the church. Grundtvig speaks about the spiritual Virgin Mary as the mother of all Christians, i.e., the congregation. A spiritual mother is as necessary for human life as a physical mother, says Grundtvig. In the same way as the Holy Ghost overshadows the Virgin Mary, so the Holy Ghost overshadows the spiritual Virgin Mary - the congregation of the Lord.In Mary we are faced clearly with the true Christian heart. Mary believed in God with all her heart, and thus her faith is a model for how we must take in the word of God.In many of his sermons Grundtvig gives a high priority to what he sees as characteristically .female., in particular in the sermons from the 1850s. Women think with their hearts, while men think with their reason; thus women have a deeper understanding of Our Lord and His Gospel.Grundtvig advocates the idea that women too should be able to preach the Gospel, for just as it was a woman who gave birth to the Son of God, so the great Gospel about the Crucified and Resurrected was also born by a woman’s lips. And Jesus himself had the most loving relationship to women, Grundtvig says, and treated them as equals to men, so the example of Jesus must be sufficient recommendation for his servants, the clergymen. Grundtvig gives a higher priority to women and women’s experience in his sermons; thus, since half of Christendom are after all women, there is certainly reason enough to study his sermons.
Grundtvigs indflydelse på den tidlige danske nationalisme
Authors: Rerup Lorenz
Published: September 2020

Grundtvig’s Position in Early Danish NationalismBy Lorenz RerupThe article deals with Grundtvig’s important position in Early Danish nationalism, i.e., in the decades from about 1800 to 1830. The background is the Danish Monarchy from the prosperous years at the turn of the century to the disastrous war 1807-1814, the loss of Norway in 1814, and the following needy postwar time. After 1814 the Danish Monarchy consisted of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, the North-Atlantic Islands (the Faeroes and Greenland) and some minor colonies. The ideology which integrated the higher ranks of these heterogeneous ethnic groups of the Monarchy into one society was a patriotism underlining peace and order in the realm, the importance of just government and - before 1807 - the protection provided by the Danish navy.The patriotism of the Monarchy was compatible with various feelings of identity which bred in different parts of it from about 1750. The Danes, living in an old kingdom, equipped with a written language, with a complete educational system, and with a history of their own, of course, had a feeling of a Danish identiy, as the German speaking population of the Duchies had a corresponding feeling of an identity of their own. Clashes of these different identities might happen but were not connected with political ideas. The state was run by the king, not by the people, and a public opinion about politics was not allowed - and was almost non-existent - before the announcement of the Advisory Estates Assemblies in 1831. Now nationalism spread and soon undermined the supranational Monarchy, which finally disintegrated in 1864.However, in the first decades of the 18th century and influenced by the ideas of Romanticism a few poets, first of all Grundtvig, developed a literary national movement without political aims. In the writings of these poets the Danes - the whole people - have a real chance to make history if they abandon their superficial life and revive the virtues and piety of the great periods in Danish history. Like political nationalists these poets propagate this kind of revival. Their attempt failed. People were still divided into a ’high’ and a ’broad’ culture and some decades had to pass until the latter one felt the need of an ideology in order to be integrated into society. Nevertheless, Grundtvig seems to be a kind of link between the patriotic ideology of the 18th and the political nationalism of the 19th century.

National Identity and the Challenge of the Church in Latvia Today
Authors: Dislers Guntis
Published: September 2020

National identitet og udfordringen for den lettiske kirke idagAf Guntis DislersForfatteren er præst i den lutherske kirke i Letland og har gennem de seneste år været ansvarlig for at pleje forbindelsen til kirker i udlandet, nu hvor sådanne relationer kan etableres og plejes.Guntis Dislers gennemgår i en række punkter hovedtræk af den aktuelle religiøse situation i Letland. Det er hans hovedsynspunkt, at livsanskuelsessituationen er broget, om ikke ligefrem uoverskuelig. Det skyldes, at de religiøse kræfter, der var bundet under kommunismens totalit.re undertrykkelsessystem, nu slippes fri, med en løbsk aktivitet til følge. Ud over de kirker og trosretninger, der traditionelt har spillet en rolle i Letland, drejer det sig også om en form for nyhedenskab med rødder i urgammel, indoeuroæiske mytologi. Desuden går ny-religiøse grupperinger, både af indisk og af amerikansk oprindelse, sig kraftigt gældende. Ikke mindst den frie adgang til at gøre brug af de elektroniske medier indebærer, at der har åbnet sig et kolossalt virkefelt for nye religiøse vækkelsesgrupper, der kan lukrere p. det, der har nyhedens interesse, og som samtidig besidder de penge, der skal til for at lancere deres program.Forfatteren inddrager i sin redegørelse de træk i Letlands nationale historie, der forklarer landets kirkehistoriske udvikling. Ikke mindst har påvirkningen fra Tyskland spillet en rolle, i perioder sammen med en politisk afhængighed. Til den modsatte side har naboskabet med Rusland og forholdet til den ortodokse kirke været en mindst lige så afgørende faktor. Den lutherske kirke i Letland har i dette perspektiv været knyttet til den nationale selvstændighedstanke, et forhold, der også har gjort sig gældende under den allerseneste udvikling.Afsluttende omtaler Guntis Dislers i hovedtræk den aktuelle situation. Han går specielt ind p. behovet for at uddanne teologer og præster. Nu er der adgang for en forsvarlig uddannelse, efter at et teologisk fakultet fik officiel status i 1990. Endvidere nævnes behovet for kirkelig undervisning af lægfolket, kirkelige tidsskrifter og aviser, samt det ikke mindre udtalte behov for at opbygge internationale, økumeniske kontakter.

Creative Recycling: A Note on Two Grundtvig HymnsBy Jakob BallingThis short article, which consists in a slightly revised extract from the writer’s contribution to the Grundtvig conference in York, August 24th-27th, 2000, discusses two examples of the use by Grundtvig, the hymn-writer, of central elements of old church and old European tradition.The intention is to demonstrate how, in Tag det sorte kors fra graven he resumes and transmits, in his own independent way, the idea of older Christianity - engendered in part by its Biblical view - about the convergence of times in the now of the church service, and how, in his Te Deum: O, store Gud, vi love dig he extends the perspective of the Latin source with the result that the poem becomes more old church, so to speak, than the source itself. In support of the exposition, the writer’s translation of the two hymns into English prose is attached.
Nekrolog. Leif Grane in memoriam
Authors: True Henrik
Published: September 2020

In Memory of Leif GraneBy Henrik TrueIn his commemorative words Henrik True emphasizes Grane’s extensive command of his subject area. Certainly, the interpretation of Martin Luther’s theology was at the heart of his studies, and Grane’s publications about Luther constitute a life’s work in themselves. But beyond the work with the Reformer Grane produced works that will undoubtedly prove to be of lasting importance, too. This will be true, for example, about a number of books and articles about other periods in church history, in fact, there are few centuries in the history of Christianity to which Grane has not devoted an analysis. But it should not be forgotten that beyond his professional activity Grane was also a participant in the general debate on church matters as well as the cultural life of the people, and that he was also a priest.Precisely in considering these aspects of Grane’s life and work, one will find a considerable part of the explanation why it was so important for him to reflect deeply on the relationship between Luther and Grundtvig. That relationship was indeed a difficult one, which would turn out, if taken seriously in its complexity, to provide crucial insights to an understanding of the works of both writers. What is the issue here, is the very core of Luther’s reformatory thinking, scripturalism and its connection with the understanding of the content of the Gospel and the nature of the church service. These connections were of course of crucial importance to professional theology as well as to church life, and to Grane it was evident that this was a field which must not at any price be trivialized by offering simple solutions.Grundtvig’s .church view. must needs be maintained as a significant renewal of the Lutheran tradition, thus proving to be an indispensable intermediate link to a fruitful continuation of Lutheran theology and church life, also in a modem perspective.

Det hele menneske og en kristologisk funderet forsynstanke: Om brugen af “Sjæl” og “Støv” i to grundtvigsalmer
Authors: Schiøler Aage
Published: September 2020

Det hele menneske og en kristologisk funderet forsynstanke: Om brugen af “Sjæl” og “Støv” i to grundtvigsalmer[The whole human being and a Christologically based belief in providence: On the use of “Soul” and “Dust” in two of Grundtvig’s hymns]By Aage SchiølerThe reading of two of Grundtvig’s hymns, one much used and one less known, uncovers the influence of Old Testament material on his ideas of basic human conditions and on the wording of Christological dynamics within his notions about Divine Providence. First, the use of “Soul” and “Dust” is briefly surveyed. Then the hymns are analysed in order to clarify the impact of the terms on Christology as the crucial element determining the subject-matter of his view on Divine Providence. The outcome of the analysis is that only through inclusion of the existence of the individual person into the destiny of Christ as our equal and brother in life, death and resurrection, the hard questions posed by human existence can be challenged by reference to a God characterized by omnipotence, omniscience, and supreme goodness.The omission of this Christological element, which in Grundtvig’s context is presented through the Preaching of the Gospel, granted the individual through Baptism, and continually maintained through The Lords Supper, would leave Divine Providence as idle talk or mere chance. Finally a modification of the concept of complementarity is used as a means to clarify the term Christian Hope as the liberating potentiality in Grundtvig’s ideas about Divine Providence.
Grundtvig, Bede and the testimony of antiquity

Grundtvig, Bede and the testimony of antiquity[Grundtvig, Beda og arven fra oldtiden]Af S. A. J. BradleyAf historien far enhver generation tilbudt indblik i modeller, der rummer såvel kontinuitet som diskontinuitet. Bevidstheden om sådanne vidnesbyrd, der viser kontinuitet tilbage til oldtiden, er en magtfuldt formende kulturel kraft, en nogle til at udspørge fortiden om nutidige problemstillinger samt angive signaler for fremtiden. Dette kan illustreres ved for eksempel at undersøge holdninger til kvinders varetagelse af opgaver i den kristne menighed, et forhold, der kan følges tilbage i historien via så betydelige teologer som Grundtvig, Thomas Aquinas, Beda Venerabilis til nogle af de oldkirkelige teologer. I lyset heraf er det oplysende at betragte de holdninger til oldtiden, som Grundtvig og Beda Venerabilis indtog.Bedas Kirkehistorie (Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum) var blandt de værker inden for den oldengelske litteratur, som Grundtvig tidligt fordybede sig i. Det viser sig ved nærmere undersøgelse, at Grundtvig har meget tilfælles med Beda, ikke blot angående opmærksomhed over for den nutidige betydning, der rummes i historien fra aldre tider, men også i henseende til en bestemt opfattelse af de mere dybtliggende strukturer bag enhver historisk beretning, ud fra hvilken de begge som historikere uddrager en kristen historiefilosofi. Det er blevet fremfort med megen vagt, at Grundtvigs forestillinger om universalhistorie pa afgørende vis blev præget af hans mode med det oldengelske digt Bjovulf, men bag idegrundlaget i Bjovulfs poetisk formede epos ligger Bedas universalhistoriske oplag, som Grundtvig var bekendt med. Det vil derfor vare givende for Grundtvig-forskere at undersøge Grundtvigs mode med Beda mere dybtgående, set som en væsentlig del af hans mere omfattende beskæftigelse med den oldengelske kultur. Derigennem vil det blive muligt at nå til en mere fyldestgørende forståelse af den bemærkelsesværdige kraft, der ligger i Grundtvigs forhold til oldtiden.
Om Grundtvigs sanges liv i Nordamerika
Authors: Stølen Marianne
Published: September 2020

Om Grundtvigs sanges liv i Nordamerika[On the life of Grundtvig’s songs in North America]By Marianne StølenThe article discusses three important conditions for that rich life which Grundtvig’s songs have enjoyed among Danish-Americans in North America. Treated first is the songbook of Frederik Lange Grundtvig, Sangbog for det danske Folk i Amerika [Songbook for the Danish folk in America] (1888), commonly known as “the red one,” with focus upon F. L. Grundtvig’s selection of familiar and unfamiliar songs and hymns gathered from his father’s treasury of song and his reworking of some of these with regard to their relevance for use among the Danish immigrants. Next is described the production of songs among the migrants, especially the Danish pastors, with examples of the word-choice which reveals an assimilation of key conceptwords from Grundtvig’s writings along with readily recognisable echoes of lines from the Grundtvig classics. There follows a description of the Hymnal for Church and Home (1927) and the Danish-American A World of Song (1941), each of which in its way collaborated in building a bridge between successive generations of users. Particular attention is drawn to the translations contributed to the songbook by the Danish-American translator and pastor S. D. Rodholm, with use of examples from Grundtvig’s authorship.Finally a glimpse is offered into the role played today by Grundtvig’s songs in the song-repertoire of Danish-American conventions and among the present members of two singing groups in the Pacific Northwest.

Grundtvig's thoughts on christianity and people
Villiam Grønbæk: Psykologiske tanker og teorier hos Grundtvig

Published: September 2020

Villiam Grønbæk: Psykologiske tanker og teorier hos Grundtvig. (Grundtvig s Psychological Ideas and Theories.) Skrifter udg. Af Grundtvig-Selskabet IV, København 1951. (Publications of the Grundtvig Society IV, Copenhagen 1951). Reviewed by P. G. Lindhardt.This book does not deal with Grundtvig’s own psychological development, but attempts to present Grundtvigs ideas about psychology, and in so doing also prepares the way for a complete presentation of Grundtvig’s anthropological theories. The author, who is well known as an expert on the psychology of religion, uses his thorough knowledge of modern psychology to describe Grundtvig’s theories about “ foreboding” (intuition) and “ longing” (favourite words of the Romantic Movement) and “ experience” and “ self-consciousness” (the leading philosophical concepts of the eighteenth century). Grundtvig in his youth acquired a thorough knowledge of contemporary psychological theories, as is made evident by a series of unpublished notes which Dr. Grønbæk reproduces (with occasional misreadings). But Grundtvig never became the disciple of any particular psychologist; he formed his own theories independently, e. g., his famous tripartite psychological division of man’s mental life into imagination, feeling and understanding. In his treatment of these ideas, which were central in Grundtvig’s work as a writer, the book is of great general interest to all students of Grundtvig.Of great value, too, is the presentation of Grundtvig’s view of man as consisting of body, soul and spirit. For Grundtvig the body is not something base and of no consequence, as it is for so many idealist philosophers; man in his whole nature is created by God and in God’s image (Grundtvig can even conceive of his tripartite psychological division mentioned above as mirroring the Trinity), and his contact with the Divine is maintained, first and last, through the word, which is both physical (spoken by the mouth and apprehended through the ear) and spiritual.The book also discusses Grundtvig’s ideas concerning the will and the conscience, faith and the heart, and the different periods of human life. The fundamental religious experience which Grundtvig describes in the words: “When the heart warmly / Takes hold on the word, / Then we embrace our Saviour” is discussed in the light of the theories of the modern experimental psychologist, W. Gruehn, and his conception of human nature is compared with Stern’s psychology of the individual. Thus the book not only directs its attention to Grundtvig’s own period, but it is also a contribution to modern psychological studies. The author’s comments on the fundamental questions of the psychology of influence are of the greatest interest. The reviewer also considers that the book not only represents a conquest of new territory in Grundtvig research, but also throws light on many obscure points in the more recent history of Grundtvigianism, and should thus be of great help to students of this most singular sociological and psychological phenomenon in the history of our Church.

Grundtvig som fortolker af Det Gamle Testamente
Authors: Høgenhaven Jesper
Published: September 2020

Grundtvig som fortolker af Det Gamle Testamente[Grundtvig 's reception of the Old Testament]By Jesper HøgenhavenThis article analyses aspects of Grundtvig’s reception of the Old Testament. In his historical works from 1812, 1814, and 1833, Grundtvig makes a number of important remarks on the role and significance of the Old Testament. His position has sometimes been characterised as “fundamentalist”, but as is shown in a discussion with recent contributions (Ole Vind, Kim Ame Pedersen), this is hardly a precise description. While Grundtvig repeatedly defends the Old Testament texts as historically reliable - and as authentic prophecies related to the coming of Christ - and makes polemic remarks against historical criticism, he nevertheless demonstrates a critical position regarding the canonical status of Old Testament books, and in his later works, he explicitly renounces the doctrine of verbal inspiration and directs polemical remarks at both rationalists and orthodox adherents of verbal inspiration. The Jewish scriptures are not the foundation upon which the church is built, as the orthodox theologians would have it. This does not mean that the Old Testament loses its importance for Grundtvig. His work amply demonstrates the centrality of biblical texts and motifs. In his sermons he makes extensive use of Old Testament quotations, interpreting them according to the classic patterns as prophecies directly relevant for the church, or as typological models for Christians. What is interesting, however, is that whereas explicit quotations are found less frequently in Grundtvig’s later sermons, his sermons are permeated with biblical motifs and imagery from the Old Testament. In his hymns, he achieves the creation of a universe which is biblical in a comprehensive sense.
Vær velkommen Herrens Aar og velkommen herhid!
Authors: Holm Jette
Published: September 2020

Vær velkommen Herrens Aar og velkommen herhid![Be welcomed Year of the Lord and be welcomed hither!]By Jette HolmGrundtvig’s two hymns entitled Vær velkommen Herrens Aar og velkommen herhid!, for Advent and the New Year, respectively, were written for the First Sunday of Advent 1849 and New Year’s Day 1850 and sung at Vartov. Grundtvig’s son Svend Grundtvig, a scholar and a collector of folksongs, had published an old manuscript in Dansk Kirketidende on 2 December 1849: Wer welkommen, Herrens Aar, och wellkommen herre! An old text for the New Year, with the same beginning, was mentioned as well.N. F. S. Grundtvig was so delighted with the expression “Vær velkommen Herrens Aar og velkommen herhid” that in his sermon on the First Sunday of Advent 1849 he called it “ret et ægte Dansk Hosianna, hvor Munden taler af Hjertets Overflødighed” (“indeed a true Danish Hosianna in which the mouth speaks from the heart’s plenty”). (Fasc. 41).The sermons on the First Sunday of Advent 1849 and on New Year’s Day1850, in which Grundtvig preaches on his two new hymns, have never beenpublished and therefore have been transcribed for Grundtvig-Studier from hismanuscript in Fasc. 41.In his sermon on the Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity 1849, Grundtvighad realized for the first time that the old texts, i.e. the old lectionary authorized for use in the Sunday services of the Danish Lutheran Church, form a unity, created by the Holy Spirit. It is this “Herrens Aar” (Year of the Lord) with“Herrens Dag” (the Day of the Lord), with texts and sacraments that Grundtvigwelcomes in his hymns. At Advent just like the crowd in Jerusalem shoutingHosianna!In his sermon on the First Sunday of Advent, 1849, Grundtvig remindsthe congregation that the Year of the Lord brings Mercy, Peace and Joy forChristians. His hymn for Advent has four stanzas, one for Christmas, one forEaster and one for Pentecost, while the fourth sums up the whole Year of theLord with the Days of the Lord.In his sermon on New Year’s Day 1850, Grundtvig quotes the four newstanzas of his second hymn Vær velkommen Herrens Aar and clarifies thedifferences between the New Year of the Church and the civil New Year. Howcan Christians pray for the civil community and their home country? Denmarkwas at war 1848-51.For Christians the Kingdom of God is Justice, Peace and Joy in the HolySpirit. But God is also the Father and Creator of all men, the Lord of Truth,Mercy and Peace. Consequently, He delights in truthfulness, mildness and love of peace; and the Danish people in spite of its worldly poverty and weakness, embodies these values.

The Deep Coinherence
Authors: Ge Wen
Published: September 2020

Den dybe sammenhæng. Et forsøg på at forståN.F.S. Grundtvigs holistiske visionArtiklen tager sit udgangspunkt i Grundtvigs udtryk “den dybe Sammenhæng”,som oversættes med “the deep coinherence”. Syndefaldet har i nogengrad ødelagt den dybe sammenhæng i Gud-menneske-naturen, isærhvad angår forholdet mellem Guds ord og menneskets ord. Grundtvigssynspunkt er, at menneskelivets utydelighed må få klarhed gennem inkarnationenaf det ord, som åbenbarer det sande billede af Gud i tro, håb ogkærlighed. Når den apostolske trosbekendelse lyder ved dåben, optages etmenneske i en levende menighed ved et ord, der bærer vidnesbyrd om enlevende tradition. På den måde bliver den kristne åndeligt forenet medKristus og påbegynder det kristelige liv. Grundtvig tillægger også menneskeliveten selvstændig værdi. Med udgangspunkt i sin mosaisk-kristeligeantropologi slår han til lyd for, at det guddommelige-menneskeligeforhold viser sig i ordets fortsatte skabende proces uden for kristendommen.Hans opfattelse er, at dette er han enig med naturalisterne om. Vedsåledes at stadfæste betydningen af det naturlige skabte menneskelivstræber Grundtvig efter måder at vække åndeligt døde mod en længselefter evigheden, så de kan være rede til med frie levende menneske-ord atmøde Guds ord. Dette viser Kristi tilknytning til skabelsen. Der er snæverforbindelse mellem det skabende og det inkarnerede ord. Dette er dendybe sammenhæng mellem skabelse og genløsning i den historiske proces.

N. F. S. Grundtvig: Rimbrev til Lise
Authors: Fabricius Jørgen
Published: September 2020

N. F. S. Grundtvig: A Rhyming Letter to Lise (Aug. 12th, 1835). Edited with comments by Jørgen Fabricius. In his edition of “N. F. S. Grundtvig’s Poetical Writings” Svend Grundtvig published nine, all told, of his father’s poems to Elisabeth Christina Margrethe Blicher, to whom Grundtvig became engaged in September, 1811, and whom he married on August 12th, 1818. Five of these nine poems are, according to the information given by Svend Grundtvig, dedicatory poems which Grundtvig inscribed in books which he presented to his betrothed. Three of the other poems were composed for the occasion of “Lise’”s birthday on September 28th in the years 1815, 1825 and 1828, and, finally, one was produced for the fifth anniversary of their wedding in 1823. While this lastmentioned poem (“Hail to thee, dear mother of the boys!”) has hitherto been the only one known to have been written for an anniversary of their wedding, and a poem written in 1829 during Grundtvig’s first journey to England (“Lonely in the great swanning crowd”) has been the last of all the poems from Grundtvig’s hand known to have been written to “Lise”, the little Rhyming Letter whose text is published here will alter the position in this respect. The Rhyming Letter to Lise was written on the occasion of their wedding anniversary and — as late as 1835. — In that summer Grundtvig had rented “the end of the house” not far from “Emilie-Kilde”. “Out there I hum the old hymns to myself and the ring sweetly in my ears with the blue sea and the blue sky before my eyes”, he wrote on July 24th to his friend Gunni Busck, whose generous support not only enabled Grundtvig to set to work in earnest on “the matter of the hymns”, but also helped the family through their worst economic difficulties, which, as the Rhyming Letter clearly states, had, in particular greatly troubled Grundtvig’s wife.
Om dannelse. Tale af N. F. S Grundtvig i »Danske Samfund« 4. maj 1841
Authors: Johansen Steen
Published: September 2020

“On Cul tureA Lecture by N. F. S. Grundtvig to the “Danish Society” on May 4th, 1841. Contributed, with notes and a postscript, by Steen Johansen. In 1839 Grundtvig assisted in founding a little association in Copenhagen, called the “Danish Society”, our first truly Danish Lecture Society. During the first three or four years Grundtvig was as a matter of course the intellectual leader of the Society, and his aim was to awaken the nation to be Danish, to be true to its own national character, and to be inspired with love of country. Virtually all Grundtvig’s lectures to the Society have been preserved in manuscript, but most of them have hitherto been unknown to, and unused by, those engaged in Grundtvigian research. One of the lectures, to which our contributor has given the title “On Culture”, is printed here, provided with explanatory notes and a postscript about Grundtvig’s activities in the Society. In this lecture Grundtvig distinguishes between false and true culture, i. e., between a culture which is the result of a purely superficial acquisition of knowledge about the world around, hasty reading of newspapers, etc., and a culture which is synonymous with enligthened humanity, understanding of one’s fellow-men, a culture which does not depend on circumstances or position, but can be found even in the poorest peasant. In order to possess true culture one must also, according to Grundtvig, be able to express oneself correctly and fluently about all that we experience, think and feel, and must be able to enter into the situations of other people and into everything that has to do with our fatherland. True culture thus prepares the way for the national spirit and is indispensable in a national legislature.

Herrens røst, som aldrig brister
Authors: Malling Anders
Published: September 2020

“Herrens røst, som aldrig brister” ( “The voice of the Lord, that never breaketh”). By Anders Mailing. The many-sided variety of Grundtvig’s output of hymns is largely due to the fact that he translated or rewrote hymns from many countries and many schools of thought, including some whose keynote was uncongenial to him, if only they contained some poetic or Christian elements which set his harpstrings sounding. This is the case with the hymn “Herrens røst, som aldrig brister” (“The voice of the Lord, that never breaketh”). The German original, “O, der alles hätt’ verlohren”, dating from about 1680, was first translated into Danish by an unknown translator and included in Pontoppidans hymnbook, thanks to the personal interest of the King , Christian VI, in it. But it is the somewhat later translation by H. A. Brorson in 1739, “Hvem der havde dog forloret” (“He who had lost . . . “ ), which forms the basis of Grundtvig’s version. Brorson kept the metre of the original, its subjunctive mode of presentation, and the longing of German mysticism for union with the Godhead. Grundtvig’s revised version, dating from 1851, retains some of Brorsons beautiful imagery and a good deal of his train of thought; but, in opposition to the mystical keynote of the hymns, he introduces a more personal conception of God, and assumes that the fundamental relationship between God and man can only be set right by the word og Christ through God’s grace. The note of longing in the hymn, which is retained by Grundtvig, thus comes to be directed towards a greater perfection in the following of Christ instead of towards the mystic union with the Godhead. Nevertheless he feels that he has not completely cleansed the hymn from the mystic conception of self-redemption, and therefore he subsequently replaces the concluding verse with another, in which he says that all is given to us in the name of Jesus. Although the hymn after this may rightly be regarded as Grundtvig’s own great and original work of art, still the attentive reader feels that there is an inner disharmony in it. Just as the yellow water from the Rhine and the blue water from the Moselle will not blend at once at Coblenz, but flow on, each on its own side of the river, so there are two streams in this hymn which will not unite properly. Grundtvig assumes that we are God’s children through God’s grace which is given to us in Christ, and with this background he preaches Christian self-renunciation in the hymn, and gives comport to those who are grieved that they are such poor followers of Christ. But the old mystical tone of the hymn, and the idea that by renunciation we can attain to union with the Godhead, can still be heard behind Grundtvig’s new words.
Johannes Knudsen: Danish rebel. The life of N. F. S. Grundtvig - og Ernst Nielsen: N. F. S. Grundtvig. An american study
Authors: Prenter Regin
Published: September 2020

Johannes Knudsen: Danish Rebel. The Life of N. F. S. Grundtvig — and Ernest Nielsen: N. F. S. Grundtvig. An American Study. By Regin Prenter. These two books are typically American, but at the same time dependent on the Danish Grundtvigian tradition and recent Danish research on the life and writings of Grundtvig, with which they are both completely familiar. The two books do not contribute anything fundamentally new to the understanding of Grundtvig, but their American background makes it possible for them — especially in the case of Knudsen — to take up an independent attitude towards the divergent interpretations of Grundtvig in Denmark. Knudsens book is a well-written biography, factual and critical, without any hagiographical tendencies. Two concluding chapters of a more systematic nature (on the Church and on the nature of man) seek to show Grundtvig’s significance for the modern age. In his interpretation of Grundtvig Knudsen adopts the point of view that 1832 does not mark any decisively new phase in Grundtvig’s development. The new ideas are latent in the old. Grundtvig’s understanding of man is conditioned by his unterstanding of Christianity; but this includes a high valuation of what is human as the presupposition for what is Christian. Nielsen’s book is planned as a systematic investigation with Grundtvig’s understanding of the reality of the Spirit as its central theme. Its main thesis is that Grundtvig’s view of life is historical in contradistinction to every metaphysical or specualtive interpretation of existence. This point of view is worked out in an interesting way, but one could have wished that the author could have gone more thoroughly into a critical appraisement of this historical interpretation of existence than the very limited space at his disposal has allowed him to do. Both books are very much in sympathy with their subject, and a feature which they have in common is that they see Grundtvig as an ecumenical figure, and for this reason they betray a marked repugnance towards any attempt at a sectarian glorification of Grundtvig. It is much to be desired that these two books may awaken new interest in Grundtvig in America. But in order that this should succeed fully they must be followed by translations of Grundtvig’s writings.
Les séries télévisées, territoires du genre1
Authors: Lécossais Sarah
Published: September 2020

À partir des travaux de Michel Foucault et de ses relectures par Teresa de Lauretis et Judith Butler, l’auteure propose de concevoir les séries télévisées en tant quetechnologiesde genre mais aussi à titre deterritoiresdu genre. La sérialité peut effectivement être envisagée à la fois comme un des procédés itératifs participant à « performer » le genre (Butler) et telle la production de « territoires » par les effets de réseau, d’échos, de dispersion des représentations des rapports sociaux de genre dans la sphère publique. Pour ce faire, l’auteure base sa proposition théorique sur les résultats de sa recherche doctorale consacrée aux représentations de la parentalité à travers le prisme du genre dans un corpus de séries télévisées familiales françaises.
Le visionnement connecté dans le quotidien des jeunes femmes au Québec
Authors: Thoër Christine , Bélanger Anouk , Millerand Florence , Duque Nina
Published: September 2020

S’appuyant sur des données qualitatives et quantitatives, les auteures visent à circonscrire la manière dont les pratiques de visionnement connecté s’inscrivent dans la vie quotidienne des jeunes femmes (18-24 ans) au Québec et s’articulent aux différents espaces, particulièrement l’espace domestique. Partant de l’idée que les usages du téléviseur, et aujourd’hui des dispositifs de visionnement connecté, constituent un indicateur de la transformation de la présence des femmes dans les espaces domestiques et publics, les auteures proposent de poursuivre les réflexions de Lynn Spigel du début des années 90 dans le nouvel écosystème médiatique où les pratiques de réception de la télévision sont en pleine transformation. Elles examinent le caractère genré (ou non) des usages et des modalités d’appropriation du visionnement connecté, notamment en ce qui concerne le potentiel d’autonomie couramment associé à ce dispositif quant aux espaces et au temps de visionnement, aux activités menées en parallèle ou aux modalités de découverte et de choix des contenus. La discussion croise deux traditions de recherche, soit celles des usages de la télévision et d’Internet, et s’inscrit dans la lignée des travaux de la critique féministe de la télévision (feminist television criticism). Les données sont ainsi analysées en tenant compte du rôle que jouent les logiques économique, sociale et éditoriale des opérateurs ou des opératrices des plateformes de visionnement à la demande, dans le maintien ou la reconfiguration des rapport sociaux de genre.
Shuffling Narratives: Apocalypticism, Postmodernism, and Zombies
Authors: Wöll Steffen
Published: September 2020

Zombies and the tropes that surround them have become a staple of popular culture and a familiar presence in movies, television series, graphic novels, and video games. From their Caribbean folklore origins, the undead are palimpsestic metaphors for social issues and cultural anxieties. This article examines the rarely studied tensions between apocalyptic desires to resurrect narrative stability through monstrous bodies and postmodern voices that utilize zombies to decompose societal conventions. Despite this supposed antagonism, the article suggests that zombies amalgamate these contrasting mindsets by assuming a role of pop-cultural mediators that bridge the gap between increasingly divisive cultural epistemologies.
It’s Raining Immigrants! HELLelujah!: The Metaphors of Immigration in Early American Magazines (1828–1959)
Authors: Rogos-Hebda Anna
Published: September 2020

Stemming from a conviction that the same phenomenon can be construed differently by different cognisers, metaphors used “reflect[ing] and effect[ing] underlying construal operations which are ideological in nature” (Hart 2011, 2), the present paper investigates how the conceptualisation and linguistic construction of IMMIGRANTS changed over time, forwarding a convenient representation of reality. To that end, the study marries the Cognitive Linguistic approach to Critical Discourse Analysis (Charteris-Black 2004; Hart 2010; 2011; 2015) with the multifactorial usage-feature analysis (Glynn 2010). The results have shown that in the times of increased migration IMMIGRANTS were objectified, their otherness foregrounded through appropriate discursive strategies and topoi. Curbing immigration in later periods contributed to an observable shift in the linguistic representation of the immigrant out-group.
The transcriptomic response of cells to a drug combination is more than the sum of the responses to the monotherapies

Our ability to discover effective drug combinations is limited, in part by insufficient understanding of how the transcriptional response of two monotherapies results in that of their combination. We analyzed matched time course RNAseq profiling of cells treated with single drugs and their combinations and found that the transcriptional signature of the synergistic combination was unique relative to that of either constituent monotherapy. The sequential activation of transcription factors in time in the gene regulatory network was implicated. The nature of this transcriptional cascade suggests that drug synergy may ensue when the transcriptional responses elicited by two unrelated individual drugs are correlated. We used these results as the basis of a simple prediction algorithm attaining an AUROC of 0.77 in the prediction of synergistic drug combinations in an independent dataset.
A novel DNA primase-helicase pair encoded by SCCmec elements
Authors: Bebel Aleksandra , Walsh Melissa A , Mir-Sanchis Ignacio , Rice Phoebe A
Published: September 2020

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are a rich source of new enzymes, and conversely, understanding the activities of MGE-encoded proteins can elucidate MGE function. Here, we biochemically characterize three proteins encoded by a conserved operon carried by the Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome (SCCmec), an MGE that confers methicillin resistance toStaphylococcus aureus, creating MRSA strains. The first of these proteins, CCPol, is an active A-family DNA polymerase. The middle protein, MP, binds tightly to CCPol and confers upon it the ability to synthesize DNA primers de novo. The CCPol-MP complex is therefore a unique primase-polymerase enzyme unrelated to either known primase family. The third protein, Cch2, is a 3’-to-5’ helicase. Cch2 additionally binds specifically to a dsDNA sequence downstream of its gene that is also a preferred initiation site for priming by CCPol-MP. Taken together, our results suggest that this is a functional replication module for SCCmec.
Cell-cycle-gated feedback control mediates desensitization to interferon stimulation

Cells use molecular circuits to interpret and respond to extracellular cues, such as hormones and cytokines, which are often released in a temporally varying fashion. In this study, we combine microfluidics, time-lapse microscopy, and computational modeling to investigate how the type I interferon (IFN)-responsive regulatory network operates in single human cells to process repetitive IFN stimulation. We found that IFN-α pretreatments lead to opposite effects, priming versus desensitization, depending on input durations. These effects are governed by a regulatory network composed of a fast-acting positive feedback loop and a delayed negative feedback loop, mediated by upregulation of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18). We further revealed that USP18 upregulation can only be initiated at the G1/early S phases of cell cycle upon the treatment onset, resulting in heterogeneous and delayed induction kinetics in single cells. This cell cycle gating provides a temporal compartmentalization of feedback loops, enabling duration-dependent desensitization to repetitive stimulations.

The differences in small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs), including miRNAs, piRNAs, and tRNA-derived fragments (tsRNAs), between X and Y sperm of mammals remain unclear. Here, we employed high-throughput sequencing to systematically compare the sncRNA profiles of X and Y sperm from bulls (n = 3), which may have a wider implication for the whole mammalian class. For the comparison of miRNA profiles, we found that the abundance of bta-miR-652 and bta-miR-378 were significantly higher in X sperm, while nine miRNAs, including bta-miR-204 and bta-miR-3432a, had greater abundance in Y sperm (p < 0.05). qPCR was then used to further validate their abundances. Subsequent functional analysis revealed that their targeted genes in sperm were significantly involved in nucleosome binding and nucleosomal DNA binding. In contrast, their targeted genes in mature oocyte were significantly enriched in 11 catabolic processes, indicating that these differentially abundant miRNAs may trigger a series of catabolic processes for the catabolization of different X and Y sperm components during fertilization. Furthermore, we found that X and Y sperm showed differences in piRNA clusters distributed in the genome as well as piRNA and tsRNA abundance, two tsRNAs (tRNA-Ser-AGA and tRNA-Ser-TGA) had lower abundance in X sperm than Y sperm (p < 0.05). Overall, our work describes the different sncRNA profiles of X and Y sperm in cattle and enhances our understanding of their potential roles in the regulation of sex differences in sperm and early embryonic development.
