      Bertella, Giovanna; Tomassini, Lucia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-28)
      Considering recent calls for change towards a more liveable tourism academia, we combined critical participatory action research with duoethnography to develop The Academic Line—a humorous comic project about academic life. We used traditional theories of humour to leverage the effectiveness of comics as communicative devices and explored how and to what extent our project promoted solidarity, ...

    • The Arsenal of Democracy? An Examination of Political Regime Types’ Success in the Global Sporting Arms Race Following the Collapse of the Iron Curtain 

      Storm, Rasmus K.; Jakobsen, Tor Georg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-08)
      Over the years, international elite sport has developed into an 'arms race' with the success of national elite sport systems becoming a symbol of regime superiority. During the Cold War, the Eastern and Western Blocs battled for success in various sports disciplines. The former nations were dominating in terms of medals, symbolising the force of the socialist autocratic system. However, because of ...

    • Putting an artificial intelligence‐generated label on it comes naturally 

      Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Larsen, Nils Magne; Folwarczny, Michal; Dubois, Magalie; Fagerstrøm, Asle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-10)
      Climate change and the advent of artificial intelligence-generated content are reshaping wine marketing. The interplay between consumer focus on naturalness and sustainable farming practices and the proliferation of artificial intelligence-generated content represents a particularly salient area of research. However, the extent to which the presence of fictitious artificial intelligence-generated ...
    • Destination design: identifying three key co-design strategies 

      Smit, Bert; Melissen, Frans; Font aulet, Xavier; Dickinger, Astrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-27)
      Collaborative approaches to destination design require conscious and reflexive stakeholder involvement in activities and decision making. Design science studies such participatory processes by observing design teams in practice. From these observations, scientists have identified design strategies and processes that design teams use to support their work in identifying problems and developing ...
    • Impact evaluation with process tracing: explaining causal processes in an EU-interreg sustainable tourism intervention 

      Montano, Luigina Jessica; Elsenbroich, Corina; Font aulet, Xavier; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-11)
      Drawing from the field of complex evaluations we discuss a novel application of process tracing for the evaluation of complex tourism interventions. We argue that to better evidence impact of tourism interventions and facilitate policy transfer we ought to adopt approaches to evaluation that allow us to deepen our understanding of causal mechanisms at play in an intervention. We adopt process ...
    • Sport Plus the Shooting: An Examination of International Sporting Success and Event Hostship's Impact on the National Willingness to Fight 

      Storm, Rasmus K.; Jakobsen, Tor Georg; Jakobsen, Jo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-08)
      Research has long aimed to identify the effects of international sporting success or event hostship on nations. Overall findings suggest that tangible benefits are marginal at best. Still, some studies find that sport may have significant intangible effects, such as bolstering (short-term) feelings of national pride or happiness. Following this strand of research, the present paper asks whether ...
    • Determinants of readiness for strategic value co-creation in hospitality and tourism organisations 

      Cloarec, David; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector; Font aulet, Xavier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-08)
      This paper examines how servant leadership influences an organisation’s readiness for strategic value co-creation through service climate, innovation climate, locus of control and self-efficacy. A model that draws on servant leadership and social cognitive theories is tested by surveying 222 hospitality and tourism business managers operating in France and the UK, and the data is analysed with ...
    • Co-designing tourism experience systems: A living lab experiment in reflexivity 

      Smit, Bert; Melissen, Frans; Font aulet, Xavier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-25)
      Stakeholders must purposely reflect on the suitability of process models for designing tourism experience systems. Specific characteristics of these models relate to developing tourism experience systems as integral parts of wider socio-technical systems. Choices made in crafting such models need to address three reflexivity mechanisms: problem, stakeholder and method definition. We systematically ...

    • Intended Pariahs - Norway's Legal Settlement with Passive Nasjonal Samling Members after 1945. 

      Vaale, Lars-Erik; Borge, Baard Herman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-22)
      In the wake of World War II, all previously German-occupied countries in Western Europe carried out legal settlements with those citizens suspected of treasonous collaboration with the occupier. Of these, Norway's treason trials were the most extensive, having as their basis a lower threshold for criminalisation than other countries. According to two legal decrees adopted by the Norwegian ...

    • The Board of Directors in an Arts Organisation: How Co-Existing Institutional Logics Limited the Board's Strategic Contribution 

      Olsen, Trude Høgvold; Solstad, Elsa Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Even though there has been a growing research interest in the boards of directors’ strategic contribution in arts organisations, we need more knowledge about how such boards work with strategy. In this paper, we report on a qualitative case study exploring how the board of directors in an arts organisation worked with strategy. We followed the board’s work over 18 months through board documents, ...
    • Suspicious minds and views of fairness 

      Schøyen, Øivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-06)
      Do people with different views of what is fair attribute different intentions to actions? In a novel experimental design, participants were significantly more likely to attribute a no-redistribution vote to selfishness if they considered redistribution as being fair. I define this—attributing actions that do not adhere to one’s own fairness view to selfishness—as suspicious attribution. I develop ...
    • Kulturelle sjonglører Arktiske kunstnere og kulturaktørers bruk av institusjonelle logikker i søken etter finansiering 

      Angell, Heidi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-29)
      Denne studien ser på hvordan kunst- og kulturaktører i det arktiske Norge sjonglerer med logikker i sin søken etter finansiering. Den teoretiske tilnærmingen, institusjonelle logikker, hjelper oss med et analytisk kart over strømningene i samfunnet som styrer kunstnere og kulturaktørers verdier og gir mening til deres daglige aktiviteter og praksiser. Perspektivet kan også hjelpe oss med å forstå ...
    • On bifurcations, resonances and dynamical behaviour in nonlinear iteroparous Leslie matrix models 

      Wikan, Arild; Kristensen, Ørjan Fosdahl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-03)
      Leslie matrix models with nonzero nonlinear fecundity elements are under consideration. It is proved that by use of the general Deriso–Schnute recruitment function the supercritical nature of bifurcations in 2- and 3-age class models and a thorough analysis of 1:2 and 1:3 resonance phenomena are also provided. A discussion of impact of coexisting attractors and structures of trapping regions is ...
    • Escaping the escape: a study among tourists' visiting Santa Cecilia in Trastevere 

      Smørvik, Kjersti Karijord (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-12)
      A number of tourists visit churches on their holiday without being religious or having any religious motivation. If religion is not important for the visit, what is then central to the tourist experience, and how do tourists describe their church visit? In this article, I examine tourists’ church visits and the meaning it gives. In a setting characterized through tourism and religion, and with ...
