”Berätta för väst”: Vittneslitteratur från Gulagarkipelagen 1946–1953
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-29)Testimonial literature from the Gulag Archipelago, published between 1946 and 1953, highlights the interactive dimension in the encounter between witness and recipient. Whereas the Nazi camps were well-documented after the war, the network of camps, prisons, settlements, and exile sites constituting the Gulag system, containing large contingents of political prisoners and ethnic minorities, were ... -
How Do Cellists and Sounds 'Become' With Each Other? Exploring the Entanglements of Artistic Research and Agential Realism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024)Music and bodies ‘become’ through co-creational processes of sound and different human and non-human bodies within social contexts. We conducted in-depth micro-phenomenological interviews with six cellists to understand better the relationship between musicians – traditionally understood as those who produce sounds – and the sounds themselves. This novel method allowed us to zoom in on the moment ... -
Exploring consent as an aesthetic experience through applied theatre with people living with dementia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)The process of giving or obtaining consent is typically seen as a series of language-based actions, either documented on a written form or communicated verbally. However, both methods can present challenges when engaging with individuals living with dementia. This paper explores how to understand consent as an aesthetic experience through applied theatre practices. We draw on data from 12 applied ... -

Det er et styringsdokument for demensomsorgens tjenester og en premissleverandør for forståelser av demens i samfunnet. Hensikten med artikkelen er å undersøke hvordan demens forstås i planen, og hvilke konsekvenser forståelsen får i praksis. Med Carol Bacchis «Hva er problemet?»-tilnærming som analyseverktøy finner ... -

Sexisme og rasisme i Kants etikk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Den «offisielle» etikken til Kant, slik den presenteres i de etiske hovedverkene fra den kritiske og sen-kritiske perioden, er universalistisk og upartisk. Universalistisk vil si at alle mennesker er inkluderte i det moralske fellesskapet, mens upartisk betyr at etikken gjelder uavhengig av blant annet kjønnsmessige og etniske skillelinjer. I flere førkritiske verk, samt i Antropologiforelesningene, ... -
Seksuelle rettigheter og ideen om nøytralitet: Fra Habermas til Nussbaum og tilbake igjen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Med utgangspunkt i en kritisk sammenligning av Jürgen Habermas og Martha Nussbaum drøfter jeg hvordan den politiske filosofen bør begrunne seksuelle rettigheter og hvorvidt en slik begrunnelse bør tilstrebe nøytralitet i forhold til religiøse, kulturelle eller andre kontroversielle doktriner og livsformer. På den ene siden hevder jeg at Habermas’ prosedurale rettighetsbegrunnelse lider av et moralsk ... -

Kant on Peace and Conflict
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)On the one hand, Immanuel Kant is famous for his idea of “perpetual peace”; on the other hand, he argues that human beings need antagonism and conflict in order to develop and flourish. By emphasising both the requirement of peace and the productivity of conflict, Kant pays tribute to the inherent ambivalence of human nature that his well-known phrase of man’s “unsociable sociability” (ungesellige ... -
Anti-immigrant backlash: the Democratic Dilemma for immigration policy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)Anti-immigrant backlash has emerged in recent years as a considerable threat to democracy. In many countries illiberal and anti-democratic political forces driven in part by anti-immigrant sentiment have damaged or threaten to damage the proper functioning of democratic institutions. Should policymakers try to avert this threat by implementing more restrictive immigration policy? If they do ... -
Consequentialism and Its Demands: The Role of Institutions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)Consequentialism is often criticized as being overly demanding, and this overdemandingness is seen as sufficient to reject it as a moral theory. This paper takes the plausibility and coherence of this objection—the Demandingness Objection—as a given. Our question, therefore, is how to respond to the Objection. We put forward a response relying on the framework of institutional consequentialism we ... -
Should We Increase Young People’s Voting Power?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-28)This paper argues that democratic collectives have reason to increase the voting power of their younger members. It first presents an intuitive case for weighted voting in general, before drawing support from a prominent principle of democratic inclusion – the all affected principle. On a plausible understanding of that principle, a decision may affect people to varying degrees, and this ... -
Substituted Decision-making
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)A core principle of medical ethics states that patients should be allowed to determine whether they wish to accept or refuse treatment, if they possess the relevant decision making capacity at the time treatment decisions need to be made. In cases where patients lack capacity to make decisions regarding their own treatment, substitute decision makers must make such decisions for them. This chapter ... -
Kann und soll der Wille zur Macht überwunden werden? Ein Versuch des späten Nietzsche
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-01)Das Prinzip des Willens zur Macht spielt von Beginn an, das heißt spätestens seit dem kurzen Stück über Homer’s Wettkampf, bis in Nietzsches letzte philosophische Texte hinein eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Doch es fällt auf, dass Nietzsche am Ende neben und gegenläufig zu diesem Prinzip ein Verständnis und eine Haltung dem Leben gegenüber zu konturieren sucht, die über den Willen zur Macht hinausweisen. ... -
Deontologischer Objektivismus? Ein Kommentar zu "Sinn im Leben"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-01)Im Folgenden möchte ich die Hauptthese des Buches, „dass das sinnvolle Leben am intuitiv plausibelsten durch eine Theorie beschrieben werden kann, die sich als ‚deontologischer Objektivismus‘ bezeichnen lässt“ (P 1-2), kritisch beleuchten. Vor allem drei Fragen sollen meine Diskussion leiten: Was genau beinhaltet der von Markus Rüther vorgeschlagene „deontologische Objektivismus“? Kann er überzeugen? ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05)This chapter discusses the ‘age-friendly cities’ initiative aimed at enhancing people’s opportunity to age in place. It presents an autonomy-based defence of the idea and examines the moral claim that the elderly can make in support of their ability to age in place. The chapter emphasizes, among other considerations, that ageing in place can have cognitive benefits through the routines and habits ... -
Who Needs to Tell the Truth? - Epistemic Injustice and Truth and Reconciliation Commissions for Minorities in Non-Transitional Societies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-08)Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) have become a widely used tool to reconcile societies in the aftermath of widespread injustice or social and political conflict in a state. This article focuses on TRCs that take place in non-transitional societies in which the political and social structures, institutions, and power relations have largely remained in place since the time of injustice. ... -
Gender balance
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-12)Gender balance is defined as equal participation of women and men. Aiming for gender balance can be one pathway towards more equal, diverse, and inclusive societies. Gender balance can be achieved both vertically and horizontally within an organisation. Vertical gender balance is defined as an equal proportion of women and men in ranked positions of power. Horizontal gender balance is defined as an ...
