This chapter explores the perceptual acts modelled by John Clare’s poetry, especially in encounters with the more-than-human world. Rather than foregrounding the ways a perceiving ego shapes a landscape, Clare details situations and perspectives readers can imaginatively enter and emphasizes the ways that the situations themselves invite receptivity. He normalizes ecologically attuned modes of ...

This chapter brings together the issues of analogy and contrast through a perspective of linguistic borrowing. We analyze the integration of new [N[N]] compounds, borrowed from English into Russian (e.g. top-igrok ‘top player’). By discussing two corpus studies and two small experiments, we show that Russian new [N[N]] compounds reflect both “levelling” and “extension”. There are at least three ...

I Norge står fellesskap sterkt som ideal. Når norske samfunnsmedlemmer møter utfordringer som koronaepidemi, finanskrise, eldrebølge, økende sosial ulikhet og miljøtrusler, er det «fellesskapet» som er truet. Og når de skal løse problemer, er det gjerne «fellesskapet» som skal stille opp. Men hva med fellesskap som realitet. Finnes det et norsk fellesskap? Eller er det bare ideologisk retorikk og ...

This essay examines how two contemporary novels written by Indian authors, Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide (2004) and Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), elucidate the temporal dimension of environmental justice—through both the incremental aspect of environmental degradation and the urgency of trying to remedy such processes of slow violence. The novels use two environmental atrocities—the Morichjhãpi ...

At det er en sammenheng mellom hva som står i læreplanen og det som skjer i klasserommet kan framstå som innlysende. Læreplanverket er jo tross alt forskrifter til opplæringsloven og skal styre innholdet i opplæringen. Men om vi ser litt nærmere på denne sammenhengen er det ikke bare innholdet i opplæringen som påvirkes. Selve undervisningsformen og hvordan elevene jobber med innholdet kan også ...

Utforskende undervisning har fått en sentral plass læreplaner de siste årene. En viktig årsak til det er at utforskende undervisning skal kunne motvirke barn og unges stadig fallende interesse, motivasjon og læring i realfag (Rocard et al., 2007; Artigue & Blomhøj, 2013). I tillegg har det blitt påstått at utforsking kan dermed bidra til både verdiskapning på samfunnsnivå og livsmestring på individnivå ...

As of September 2021, Kosovo’s political elite, many of them war heroes from the 1998 campaign against the Former Yugoslavia, are now facing charges of war criminality at Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC), a hybrid court in The Hague. These proceedings comprise the next revolution of Kosovo’s indeterminate post-war status as a quasi-state, as it is not fully recognised as a state by the international ...

Nietzsche on Morality and Moralism. If moralism is understood as behaviour that applies moral criteria where they have no business, then moralism is a major issue for Nietzsche. However, he not only rejects moralism and moralising in the sense just outlined. In addition, morality itself and as such becomes a problem for him. Nietzsche argues that the confusion regarding the scope of moral norms, ...

This article examines the future challenges facing Norwegian public libraries in light of legislative changes and evolving societal needs. Since the Public Library Act of 1986, with updates in 2014, libraries are mandated to be accessible cultural and educational centers. The 2019 national library strategy further emphasizes their role in public enlightenment and community engagement, particularly ...

Feminist approaches are critical. They explore inequality, oppression, and power dynamics to enable conceptual or social transformation. They recognise gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, and other differentiating categories as intertwined in ongoing processes of becoming of individuals and societies. Hence, understanding such complexity is a paramount demand to critical research ...
