It must be nice. Not only in clothing, but also in defense of it, writes Elin Ørjasæter.
This is a comment. It is the attitude of the writer that is expressed.
Do you remember Prime Minister Per Borten in just his panties in the summer of 1969?
Much was said about that image.
But not that she offered her body in a sexual sense, Hadia Tajik writes in a debate post on the cover of her book.
She believes that it is because she is a woman that someone may think that the image on the cover of the book “Libertad” is sexualized. Think, even a nearly naked Borten let it pass!
Well, older men who mow in their boxer shorts give different associations than younger women in stilettos.
Borten’s image attracted attention because he paid very little attention to his appearance.
Tajik’s image attracts attention because it places a lot of emphasis on his appearance.

The image is not random
Both parts are a gender break with the role of the Norwegian politician.
But while Borten explained his underpants by saying it was very hot that day, Tajik explains his appearance by saying that it moves power and creates freedom.
It must be nice. Not only in clothing, but also in the defense of it.
The image in Hadia Tajik’s book is not accidental. It is a carefully calculated sales poster for a copy that is very important to her as a writer. So it is with all book covers.

Therefore, we should be free to discuss that image from here to eternity. What does she want with this cover?
My interpretation is that he wants to get away from Bjørheimsbygd and move to New York. That’s why I don’t like the photo. She doesn’t want to be one of us anymore.
Faculty Director Karoline Holmboe Høibo stated that Tajikistan with this Americanized Norwegian policy, and I agree with that.
Unfortunately, Høibo also wrote that the image was sexualized, which is wrong in the first place as I see it, and secondly, he forgot all the sensible things he wrote.

Americanization
It is the Americanization that is interesting here.
Take a look at the image to the right of the image on the top of the case. It’s from Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most famous politicians in America today. He is to the left of the Democratic Party and grew up in New York’s Bronx.
And so it looks like a million dollars.
Most Norwegian politicians, women and men, want to create closeness with the covers of their books.

Even Karita Bekkemellem, who is more than vain in other contexts, chose a neutral, close and pleasant image of herself as the cover of the book “My Red Heart”.
Jan Bøhler almost went crazy in the surroundings when he chose a portrait with a hoodie and caps with the inscription ‘Groruddalen’.

Hadia Tajik, on the other hand, chose extreme elegance in the full figure, thus signaling the distance to us other mortals.
Thorbjørn Jagland is publishing a new political memoir these days. In the same way that some would argue that Hadia’s image is sexualized, some may think that Thorbjørn makes the most of her body.
Because he’s fit for his age, slim and handsome where he eagerly steps to the top of the nearest mountain!
The image is not as random as Hadia’s image.
Oser political upper class
Eva Grinde at Dagens Næringsliv believes that the Tajik image gives associations to sociability and party mix in higher circles, the part of higher politics that is furthest from most people. I agree.
The cover of this book oozes the new global political upper class, so the image of Jagland points to the eternal wanderer in the Norwegian mountains, the very embodiment of the Norwegian nature and investigative intellectual combo. (The Norwegian Tourism Association, that is, the mountain tourism organization itself, has always been dominated by academics, if you didn’t know.)

Tajikistan Picture is a good app to get out of the sad Norwegian Labor Party. Away from the crony Norwegian villages and the dreary capital with boring Groruddalen. The whole country is populated by ordinary and good men and women.

The Tajiks could have chosen a traditional book cover with a pretty smile on a home knit sweater. Instead, she became an AOC wannabe (AOC is a commonly used abbreviation for Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez politician).
Pompous explanation
She has a reasonably pompous explanation for why she didn’t choose a more gender-faithful image:
It is never those who ask you to play by the rules of the game that move power or create more freedom, he writes in Stavanger Aftenblad. It is the knowledge of what the rules of the game are, and the willingness not to always accept them, that does it.
He sat down, given.
Move the power and create more freedom, nothing less, looking like a million dollars.
Well, you sure you didn’t find yourself at the vanity revolving door?
Like Jagland, when he does backpack porn? If more Labor voters were the target, they would have put on a nice knit sweater and looked directly at the camera.
Let me end by quoting Eva Grinde’s wise comment on Dagens Næringsliv again:
The deputy director of the Aps is not only her gender, she is a person of power. Its image construction through the image of the book cover must also be able to be analyzed and commented.
Single.

PS: Okay to say about political ties. For many years I have wavered between the PA, the Green Party, and the Center Party. The day after Bøhler’s transition, I joined the Center Party. It was the cape that made the difference.
