    Wasrud, Morten (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-03-18)
    The Anthropocene is a new geological epoch suggested to replace the now 12,000-year-old running Holocene, in response to the growing awareness of anthropogenic impact on the Earth system. Since the introduction by Paul J. Crutzen in 2000, the geological term has also caught on as a major topic in the environmental humanities.

    This case study of colonialism in the Russian Arctic asks (1) Why is Moscow attempting to (re)colonize its Arctic region?

It finds that internal and resource colonialism are occurring, that Moscow’s current colonialist ...

  • Materiality, Monstrosity, and Queer Ecology: An Archaeology of Failure 

    Godin, Geneviève (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-10-31)
    This project delves into the phenomenon of unruly material legacies in the Anthropocene and develops what we may call a contemporary archaeology of failure. It is first and foremost grounded in the idea that things which have been discarded, abandoned, or lost, yet refused to disappear can be said to have failed. Building on this premise, I then reflect on the unintended and unwanted masses of things ...

  • Talking Back to Art Museum Practices: Seeing Public Art Museums in Norway Through the Lens of Institutional Critique, Feminism and Decoloniality 

    Gullickson, Charis Ann (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-08-24)
    The aim of this dissertation is to question art museum practices and the predisposition to regard state-funded art museums in Norway as "neutral" institutions. Neutrality is notoriously difficult to define, one possible definition could be “not being engaged, or decided, on either side of an issue” (Evans et al. 2020, 19). The question surrounding neutrality in museums is a complex one. Museum ...

Jeg har lest ...

    Jennings, Helen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-01-13)
