hljómgrunns og árangurs meðal fólks hverju sinni; kristilegt orðfæri, alltumlykjandi þjóðernishyggju, vísindalega þekkingarorðræðu, allt byggt á sterkri mótunar- og framfarahyggju — sjálfstæðisbaráttunni sem einkenndi árin um og eftir 1900. Samsömun fólks við bindindi- sorðræðuna og straum þeirrar hugmyndafræði sem hún flæddi eftir varð auðveld, að gangast inn á hana veitti viðurkenningu sem orð - ræða á öndverðum meiði gerði ekki. Málflutningurinn um áfengið sem „eitur“ og bannlög sem lausn var einföld, hún var tákngerð í anda lífvaldsins. Á opinberum vettvangi varð hún ráðandi, hún birtist í regluverki, hertri umgjörð og aðgerðum stjórnvalda til eftir- lits með siðferðilegu taumhaldi fólks, þótt henni væri víða úthýst á hinum félagslega vegna þess hve viðkvæm hún var. Áfengisbannið og neikvæð reynslan af því hefði átt að tryggja breytt viðhorf því nýjar áherslur mótast gjarnan af því neikvæða sem víkjandi fyrirkomulag hefur skapað. Sú varð ekki raunin. Sjónar - mið um varúð gagnvart „eitrinu“, sem templarar höfðu alið á í hálfa öld þegar banni sleppti, höfðu fest sig í sessi. Þau byggðust áfram á orðræðunni og óttanum um afdrif þjóðarinnar og þau héldu velli langt fram á tuttugustu öld. Abstract nanna þorb jörg lárusdótt i r ICeLANDIC IOGT. SOCIAL AND CULTURAL IMPACT Although it was only in 1884 that the first Icelandic lodges of the International Organisation of Good Templars, as it is called today, became active, the organisa- tion had expanded throughout much of the island by the last decade of the 1800s. It remained the most populous major social movement until nearly 1950, when membership in the ungmennafélög (youth and sports clubs) surpassed that of the IOGT. With the objective of rendering “alcohol enjoyment” extinct, the IOGT managed to force a national referendum in 1908 on prohibiting the import of alco- hol. A subsequent ban on selling and consuming strong alcoholic drinks lasted for 20 years, from 1915 to 1935. The article reviews IOGT’s achievements and the contributions of its focused, organised discourse to the moral improvement of Icelandic society. The influence of this discourse is analysed using Michel Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and biopower. In connection with social and cultural impact, IOGT efforts helped shape and provide a social basis for the first Icelandic labour unions, so that mutual similarities appear.
