Aktietrykkeriet

Last updated

Aktietrykkeriet was a Norwegian printing and publishing company active from 1884 to 2014.

Aktietrykkeriet was founded in 1884 [1] by Christian Holtermann Knudsen [2] under the name Arbeidernes Aktietrykkeri and eventually became part of the newspaper Social Demokraten—later known as Arbeiderbladet, and today called Dagsavisen . At the very beginning at Brugata (Bridge Street) no. 17a in Oslo, [3] Knudsen and his wife, who loaded the paper, used a hand-operated press. Knudsen was a fervent social democrat and together with Carl Jeppesen, among others, established one of Norway's first printers' unions in 1872. Despite major financial problems, he released the first issue of the newspaper Vort Arbeide in March 1885, an event that led to the formation of the Social Democratic Association in Kristiania. [4]

In 1983, Terje André Hildeng purchased the company from the labor movement, with the requirement that the employees own ten percent. [2]

The printing company was located in the municipality of Fet and had a turnover of NOK 154 million in 2012. [2]

The company closed in 2014. [5]

Kebabnorsk, also known as Kebab Norwegian or Norwegian multiethnolect, is a language variant of Norwegian that incorporates words and grammatical structures from languages spoken by immigrants to Norway such as Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Urdu, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Tamil, and Chilean Spanish, as well as English. The multiethnolect differs from an ethnolect because it is spoken not by one particular ethnic group, but by the many varying immigrant populations in Norway, drawing elements from each of their respective languages. The Norwegian multiethnolect emerged from immigrant youth communities, particularly those in eastern neighborhoods of Oslo, and has spread to broader youth populations through permeation of mainstream Norwegian media. The term sociolect is also useful when discussing this variant, because sociological factors such as age, neighborhood, ethnic identity, and gender play important roles in classifying and understanding Norwegian multiethnolect.
