Exploring the role of Norwegian scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Peder Anker examines how they portrayed their country as a place of environmental stability in a world filled with tension. In contrast with societies dirtied by the hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, Norway\u2019s power, they argued, lay in the pristine, ideal natural environment of the periphery. Globally, a beautiful Norway came to be contrasted with a polluted world and fashioned as an ecological microcosm for the creation of a better global macrocosm. In this innovative, interdisciplinary history, Anker explores the ways in which ecological concerns were imported via Rachel Carson\u2019s Silent Spring in 1962, then to be exported from Norway back to the world at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peder Anker, Professor of History of Science at New York University (USA), presented his book&nbsp;The Power of the Periphery: How Norway Became an Environmental Pioneer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2020-11-02-Anker.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2020-11-02-Anker_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2043","duration":"58:48","filesize":"43.31M","filesize_raw":"45411700","date_recorded":"2020-11-02","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2040","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2020-11-02-Anker_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2040\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2040\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2040\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2040\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"gI9cFwXEat\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery\/\">Peder Anker  &#8211; The Power of the Periphery<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/peder-anker-the-power-of-the-periphery\/embed\/#?secret=gI9cFwXEat\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Peder Anker  &#8211; The Power of the Periphery&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"gI9cFwXEat\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
