(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-19)Hovedretninga i norsk språkpolitikk i dag er å styrke norsk som samfunnsbærende språk, og legge til rette for at norsk kan brukes, også i sammenhenger der engelsk foretrekkes.

Indigenising Education: Scales, Interfaces and Acts of Citizenship in Sápmi

In this process, the educational system is the institution ... -

Newton's Second Law to Go
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-18)Students should have a strong conceptual understanding of the connection between force and acceleration before they start working with applications and problem solving. This has been discussed in the literature. During these days of flipped classroom instruction, an at-home activity could be especially valuable. I will describe an experiment with very simple equipment that students could do on their ... -
Living with illness Together and alone facing severe illness in four Scandinavian cancer stories
(Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this paper, I wish to discuss how people living with severe illness at home depict their lives either in a family setting or alone. Roland Barthes writes in Comment vivre ensemble (1977) about individual life lived in a variety of collective situations in different settings, and calls this idiorrhythmia. One of the settings Barthes studies is the sanatorium, where the figures of Autarky ... -

Dealing with difference: Contested place identities in two northern Scandinavian cities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-05)In an era of culturally driven growth, urban identities are of central importance for the branding of cities. However, urban identities are under constant re-negotiation as cities’ populations become more diverse. In northern Scandinavia, some cities have developed on what were traditionally Indigenous lands but have failed to acknowledge the role these roots and histories have played in shaping the ... -
Pathographies and Epiphanies: Communicating about Illness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-14)Epiphany is a literary device bringing forth an experience of sudden wisdom or insight and is particularly applied to literature from the romantic era. However, epiphanies are also present within contemporary autobiographical patient stories (pathographies) expressing something that is difficult and perhaps otherwise left unspoken. Kristian Gidlund’s pathography <i>I kroppen min. Resan mot livets ... -
Are There Analytical Adjectives in Russian? Evidence from a Corpus Study and Experimental Data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-18)In the scholarly literature there has been a discussion on whether modern Russian is developing more analytical tendencies, with special attention to new nominal compounds such as VIP-zal 'VIP lounge', veb- stranica ‘web page’. Traditionally, such units are described in terms of “analytical adjectives”, which covers all nominal non-inflectional units related to a head noun (Panov 1960, 1971). The ... -
Terminology matters on theoretical grounds too!: Coherent grammars cannot be incomplete
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-04)Herein, we provide counterargumentation to some of Domínguez, Hicks, and Slabakova's claims that the term <i>incomplete acquisition</i> is conceptually necessary on theoretical grounds for describing the outcome grammars of heritage language bilingualism. Specifically, we clarify their claim that previous challenging of the term in our and others’ work is primarily based on a misconceived belief ... -

Interpreting for Soviet Leaders: The Memoirs of Semi-visible Men
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-24)Top interpreters are rarely able to discuss publicly negotiations between their bosses-cum-clients. Yet the downfall of Nazi Germany and the USSR allowed some interpreters to speak, in interviews and memoirs, without fear of retribution. In the end, only a few told their story, and some did not always tell it correctly, either because of memory lapses or because of a desire to appear more informed ... -

Analyse av kystkvinnemotivet i De usynlige, Kjærestebåten og Huset med den blinde glassveranda
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-11-01)Kvinneliv og kvinneperspektiv har lenge blitt utelatt i historieforskningen og historienedskrivningen. Først ut over 1990-tallet ble kystkvinners liv satt i fokus og forsket på. I dag finnes det flere etnologiske og historiske verk som synliggjør kystkvinnenes posisjon i samfunnet og fremhever deres historie, men hvordan fremstilles kystkvinner i skjønnlitteraturen? Skjønnlitterære tekster er ... -
En følelse av sted. Sykdomsfremstilling i samtidslitteratur for barn og unge. En sammenlignende lesning av Levi Henriksens Så lenge himmelen er over jorda (2016) og Anders Totlands Engel i snøen (2016) med vekt på stedet.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-11-01)Hva er sted? Hvordan oppnår man en følelse av sted? En forutsetning for stedsdannelse er at individet inngår i en meningsfull relasjon til stedet. Stedsteorier er forankret i fenomenologisk filosofi og har sin opprinnelse i geografi og arkitektur, men det stedlige fokuset har spredt seg over til de humanistiske vitenskapene etter den romlige vendingen den siste delen av 1900-tallet. Stedet er et ...
