During WW2, the Danish scholar of English literature Grethe Hjort developed a close friendship with the Czech-Jewish geographer Julie Moscheles. Their paths crossed in Melbourne, and afterwards they settled in Prague. When Moscheles died in 1956, Hjort returned to Denmark to become only the second female professor at Aarhus University in 1958. Based on a study of private correspondence, this article has three interlinked intentions. Firstly, I explore the two women’s entangled lives and their encounters with the world of academia during peacetime and war. Secondly, I situate their biographies in a historical context in light of the academic paths followed by modern young women of the interwar generation, who experienced education as a gateway to independence from conventional gender norms. Finally, the article offers an affective sensibility that adds to the conceptualization of scholarly personae.

I 1960’erne oprettede UNESCO tre forskningscentre i skolebyggeri i Afrika, Asien og Latinamerika. Artiklen handler om Asian Regional Institute for School Building Research og om den viden, som instituttets medarbejdere bragte med sig fra Vesten, og hvordan den transformeredes i lyset af postkolonialisme og Kold Krig. Inspireret af Karen Barads samtænkning af materialitet og betydning vises i et mikrohistorisk perspektiv, hvordan idealisme og drømmen om en skole i barnets skala blev fortolket på én gang kreativt og pragmatisk. Det skyldtes ikke alene, at verden ændrede sig med et stigende befolkningstal til følge, samtidig med at spændingerne mellem øst og vest tog til. Mødet med lokale byggeskikke og forskellige modernitetsforståelser hos myndighederne i regionen var også medvirkende, ligesom interne organisatoriske forhold og divergerende opfattelser af instituttets arbejdsopgaver blandt de udsendte eksperter.

Thousands of Wing-Shot Migratory Birds. Soldier Graves and Danish-French Places of Remembrance Approx. 1915-1925 During the months following the end of the First World War in November 1918, some 100,000 prisoners of war passed through Denmark on their way home from the camps on the Eastern Front. Some did not make it all the way, but died from exhaustion and the Spanish flu during their stay in Denmark. The present article deals with the part that these dead soldiers came to play in the formation of a remembrance culture in a country which had not itself taken part in the war. More specifically, it deals with the monuments which a small group of nationally-conservative men and women with ties to the armed forces and the social elite erected between 1919 and 1925 in remembrance of the dead French soldiers. To their minds, France had been the sole serious ally in the struggle for the return of North Schleswig to Denmark. For that reason, they were also behind two monuments in France to commemorate the fallen Danish-minded Schleswigers and the fallen Danes of the French Foreign Legion. Their national-conservative engagement and criticism of the policy of neutrality pursued during the war by the Danish government largely determined the creation and the form of the cemeteries.
