Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

my name is Theresa and I am a German political science student doing
research on the Icelandic "kitchenware revolution" of 2008/9 for my
final Master thesis.
During my research I found out that you/your party were among the
initiators/ involved in the protest wave and played a very significant
role. My main interest lies in the questions of how the protest became
termed as a revolution and what the deeper meaning of this is for the
activists in the protest movement. I know that the term was coined by
the images of protestors banging on kitchenware, but do you know who
came up first with this term? Was it more from outside the protest,
e.g. the media or the politicians, or rather did the term develop from
inside the protestors movement? Why was it called revolution, even
though, as I guess most of the peole are aware, that from a scientific
position the events in the end of 2008 and especially in the beginning
of 2009 were clearly not a classical revolution comparable with the
French Revolution or the Eastern European Revolutions of 1989/90.
I hope you could provide me with some answers to these questions at
least from your point of view and maybe you could also provide me with
some contacts of other protest activists or
persons who could help me to answer my questions.
Furthermore, as I am currently staying in Reykjavík, would it be
possible to meet with you to discuss this topic a bit further?

Bestu kveðjur / Best wishes,
Theresa Horst


Best wishes and looking forward to your answers,
Theresa Horst

Ég skal koma að þessu svo sem, svona sem stjórnmálafræðingur og blaðamaður, en ég kom ekki að blábyrjun mótmælanna og veit ekki hver kom fyrst upp með hugtakið Búsáhaldabyltingin. Veit það einhver?

Já, það var fésbíkargrúbba sem mælti með þessu í nóvember 2008. Þekki ekki hverjir voru þar í forsvari.
