Papirboken har overlevd gjennom et digitalt skifte i media, til tross for at e-boken er et sosialt fenomen med potensiale i det litterære samfunnet. Problemstillingen til denne oppgaven spør hva e-boken er som et sosialt fenomen. Tidligere forskning viser litteratursosiologi, sammenligninger mellom e-bøker og papirbøker, i tillegg til utfordringer i bokbransjen, konkurranse fra aktører utenfor den ...

I denne oppgaven har jeg forsøkt å se nærmere på den forskjellen som eksisterer mellom en velutviklet, sofistikert arkeologisk ontologi og en mindre utviklet, til dels ureflektert arkeologisk metodologi. Arkeologer har gjennom flere år systematisk foretatt en nedprioritering av metodiske spørsmål til fordel for utvikling av ny og spennende teori. Denne utviklingen har selvsagt vært prisverdig, men ...

This article presents Gérard Genette’s concept of the paratext by defining the term and by describing its characteristics. The use of the concept in other disciplines than literary studies and for other media than printed books is discussed.

The guiding framework for the analysis is based on the ...

This article contributes to two recent discussions in pedagogy and education, namely, the impact of the participatory approach (Jenkins et al., 2009; Yowell & Rhoten, 2009) on learning and the benefits of student active learning (Sokolova et al., in press; Spasova & Welsh, 2020). The participatory approach incorporates texts and tasks on the topics of interest that are relevant to students’ ...

STEP will develop research- and experience-based knowledge on transition from Master Initial Teacher Education (M-ITE) into the teacher profession to influence on further development, implementation and institutionalization of the Norwegian national framework for induction and mentoring Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs). 

The point of departure for this chapter is that the passport can only be understood with regard to the conduct and practical experience of those using it, and that the passport is embedded in ‘heterogeneous networks’ of people, practices and things (Timmermans and Berg 2003). The passport is nothing in and by itself but becomes of significance the moment a closed border is to be passed. The point ...
