Montage
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-01)“How can we see time?” This question is raised in the opening sentence of Didi-Huberman’s book-length study of Bertolt Brecht’s 1955 photobook <i>Kriegsfibel</i> (<i>War Primer</i> in English translation (2017)), pieced together with scissors and glue from press clippings and self-penned epigrams.

In Spite of All (Malgré tout)
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-01)The locution <i>malgré tout</i>, ‘in spite of all’ or ‘despite everything’, is first and foremost associated with the vexed debate stirred by the exhibition <i>Mémoire des camps</i>, which was organized in Paris in 2001, and the violent reactions provoked by Didi-Huberman’s catalogue essay, “<i>l’images malgré tout</i>”, subsequently expanded into the eponymously titled book in response to the fierce ... -
Foreword
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-11)A confounding antinomy has characterized the ill-fated twenty-first century. On the one hand, a frenzy of “historical” and “unprecedented” moments, as the world is incessantly afflicted by momentous change and cataclysmic and unique events, we are told. “How historical is this?” the news anchor asks the reporter in the field or the expert in the studio, and infallibly, it’s always off the charts. ... -
Why Libraries Matter in the New Diplomacy Era?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-31)Libraries, museums, and cultural centers have long been widely advocated for diplomacy as an enabler for knowledge sharing, cultural exchange, and scientific cooperation, advancing people-to-people ties and mutual understanding in the international system (Mariano and Vårheim, 2021).

Assessing inhibitory control in the real world Is virtually possible: A virtual reality demonstration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-12)Executive functions are the key ingredient for behaviour regulation. Among them, inhibitory control is one of the main exponents of executive functions, and in the last decades, it has received a good amount of attention thanks to the development of chronometric tasks associated with paradigms that allow exploring human behaviour when the inhibitory component is needed. Among the different paradigms ... -
Environment Context Variability and Incidental Word Learning: A Virtual Reality Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-08)Previous research has shown that changes in the scenarios in which something is learned and recalled, respectively, may result in a subpar performance in memory recollection. The current study aimed to evaluate how changes in the visuo-perceptual environmental learning context impact incidental vocabulary learning. To this end, a highly immersive virtual reality setting was created, and participants ... -
Los prefijos adjectivales: un grupo heterogéneo
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-31)Este artículo discute una de las clases reconocidas de prefijos en español, los prefijos adjetivales. Esta clase muestra propiedades que no encajan con el resto de los prefijos, tanto en su fonología como en su semántica.

Pangur Bán, Translation, Postmodernism, Paul Muldoon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-22)«Pangur Bán» is probably the best know poem in Celtic studies, and a poem that tends to become increasingly more popular to audiences outside of Ireland. However, the anonymous, medieval poem has been cherished throughout history for a wide range of poetic, philosophical, intellectual and educational reasons. To inquire into the longevity and popularity of a marginal gloss on his cat by an Irish ... -

Statistical analysis of approximately 39,000 corpus examples indicates that these constructions constitute a network of con- structions (“allostructions”) with various preferences for singular or plural ... -
Temporal Information and Event Bounding Across Languages: Evidence from Visual World EyeTracking
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06)We explore the typological question of what the interpretation of grammatical perfectivity is, and how it connects to the related aktionsartal notion of boundedness/telicity on the one hand, and the tense category Past on the other. We report on a comparative experimental paradigm of past tense accomplishment sentences in Russian, Spanish and English respectively, in which we use an online ... -
Trolli se ei ole poika leikki jos mie tartuttelen: frekventatiivijohdoksen kehittyminen adversatiiviseksi passiiviksi kveenissä pohjoissaamen kielikontaktin seurauksena The development of frequentative verb derivatives into adversative passive in Kven as a result of language contact with Northern Sámi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-16)Derivatives ending in ttele are used with a passive meaning in the Kven dialects of Porsanger and Nordreisa. This use is a result of language contact with Sami. As in the Sami model of adversative passive, these Kven passive derivatives express an unfavorable event. They are used with a subject argument which has a semantic role as a patient or experiencer and an agent expressed in the allative case. ... -

Screen Violence from Settler Colonialism to Cognitive Capitalism: Westworld and the Player Piano
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-09-01)While the HBO show Westworld (2016–present, created by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan) has gained much critical attention for its byzantine plotting and philosophical conundrums, the present discussion focuses instead on the basic premise on which the titular park operates, namely that the algorithms that govern human behavior can be disclosed by studying how human beings behave toward image beings. ... -
Inclusive gender: A grammatical view
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-01)En los últimos años se ha visto emerger un nuevo marcador de género en español al que se identifica como género inclusivo, lo cual da lugar a sustantivos con tres formas de género –niño, niña, niñe–. El objetivo de este trabajo es alejar esta cuestión de consideraciones políticas o sociales y examinar los rasgos gramaticales internos que tiene esta nueva forma, como una vía para encuadrar cualquier ... -

S'argumenta que, en les varietats més restrictives, el pronom oblic materialitza un constituent sintàctic que conté una capa relacional ... -
En to ganger servert oksesteik, et to ganger servert drama. Doktor Tomas Stockmann – en mannlig versjon av Nora Helmer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)I et brev til sin forlegger, Frederik Hegel, datert Roma 21. juni 1882, kommenterer Ibsen En folkefiendes sjanger: «det har meget af lystspillets karakter ved sig, men også en al-vorlig grundtanke». I tråd med Ibsens uttalelse blir dette dramaet ofte lest som en politisk komedie med et alvorlig tema, samtidig som man mer eller mindre eksplisitt gir uttrykk for at det er litt uklart hva denne alvorlige ...
