Vindrosen (da|Compass Card) was a Danish modernist cultural and literary magazine existed between 1954 and 1974. It was one of the Danish publications which improved the cultural journalism in the country.[1]

History and profile

Vindrosen was established in 1954[1] [2] as a successor to another cultural magazine Heretica.[3] [4] The magazine was published by the leading Danish company Gyldendal in Copenhagen.[5]

The focus of Vindrosen was on literary work.[2] During the 1950s the magazine was under the influence of the writers contributed to Heretica.[3] However, later it abandoned their views and Cold War approach.[3] Instead, Vindrosen began to focus on the third world countries.[3] In addition, it became one of the supporters of modernism and radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s in Denmark.[2] In the 1960s like other Scandinavian literary magazines Vindrosen adopted the eclectic thinking. During the same period it also featured criticisms of literature and society.[6] The magazine closely collaborated with the newspaper Information on these issues.[6] Around the 1968 student protests the magazine functioned as a platform for the young leftist intellectuals who edited it.[7] In 1974 Vindrosen ceased publication.[2] [3]

Editors and contributors

In the 1950s Peter P. Rohde was the editor of Vindrosen.[8] Then Klaus Rifbjerg[9] and Villy Sorensen co-edited the magazine.[10] The former served in the post between 1959 and 1963. In the rest of the 1960s Jess Ørnsbo served in the post.[11] Niels Barfoed was also among the editors of Vindrosen.[12]

Poul Vad was one of the contributors of Vindrosen.[13]
