@article{Fogh Sørensen_2023, title={Danmark i EF og EU - plakater i 50 år}, volume={88}, url={https://www.dengamlebyaarbog.dk/article/view/135882}, abstractNote={<p><strong>50 years of posters</strong><br />In 2022 it is 50 years since the Danes voted for membership of the<br />EEC. The Danish Poster Mus eum in Den Gamle By marked this with a<br />special exhibition that could be seen throughout 2022. Strong feelings<br />have always been involved in the debate about membership<br />of the EEC and the EU. Both for and against. This has resulted in a<br />wealth of posters in the course of time. In 1972 it ended with a majority<br />of 63.4 per cent for membership of the EEC, which Danmark<br />officially joined on 1st January 1973. The defeat now led to a campaign<br />from The People’s Movement Against the EEC to get Denmark<br />out.<br />In the direct elections to the European Parliament – for the first<br />time in 1979 – and referenda on changes in the Treaty, posters for<br />and against have taken up their usual spaces on the country’s lamp<br />posts. Each time the posters have tried to persuade the Danes to<br />vote either for or against ‘more EU’. Through the posters we get to<br />know about Denmark’s relationship with the EEC and the EU over<br />the years. The posters express humour, sarcasm, irony, fear, seriousness<br />as well as positive expectations.</p>}, number={88}, journal={Den Gamle By: Danmarks Købstadmuseum (Årbog)}, author={Fogh Sørensen, Line}, year={2023}, month={jan.}, pages={73–82} }
