Un décor de voûte controversé: L’ornementation “sassanide” d’une mosaïque de la Rotonde de Saint-Georges à Thessalonique
No full textLe champ de la mosaïque décorant la voûte en berceau du passage sud, passage qui correspond à l’entrée primitive de l’église, présente une grande croix latine pattée insérée dans un décor qui, à côté d’un semis d’étoiles, comporte divers motifs communément considérés d’origine où d’inspiration sassanide. Mes observations visent à déterminer la valeur à attribuer à la caractéristique “sassanide” assignée à ces motifs et aboutissent à un essai d’interprétation de la mosaïque – croix, étoiles et composant “sassonide” – à la lumière de la position topographique du monument même

Skolt Sámi Heritage, Toivo Immanuel Itkonen (1891–1968), and the Sámi Collections at the National Museum of Finland
No full textThe National Museum of Finland is repatriating their entire Sámi collection to the Sámi museum Siida in Inari. This article illustrates the type of collected material that is to be returned, and what kind of tradition of representation the Sámi museum Siida will have to deal with in the repatriation. A remarkable part of the Sámi collections in the National Museum of Finland has been provided by the well-known Finnish Lappologist, T. I. Itkonen. Due to his many research trips in 1912–1927, altogether 91 per cent of his collections originate from the Skolt Sámi area in the Pechenga region and Kola Peninsula. In exhibitions curated by Itkonen for the National Museum, the Skolt Sámi objects seem to have been relatively well represented, although subjected to the almost compulsory representation of reindeer herding. Because of Itkonen’s collection, the repatriation of the whole Sámi collection of the National Museum to the Siida Sámi Museum has an especially poignant meaning for the Skolt Sámi community.The National Museum of Finland is repatriating their entire Sámi collection to the Sámi museum Siida in Inari.

The Samekulturen exhibition. A social actor at the Tromsø University Museum: Knowledge production and shifting circumstances
No full textIn 1973, the exhibition entitled Samekulturen (The Sámi Culture) opened its doors to the public for the first time, and for over forty years this exhibition has served as an important arena for the dissemination of Sámi culture to tourists, students and other visitors. Exhibitions have social and political consequences. Samekulturen as a social actor that contributes to the production of knowledge is the point of departure for this paper. In the view of the museological and ethno-political contexts in which Samekulturen was produced, the exhibition will be analysed as a historical document revealing how museological practices related to the representation of the Sámi have evolved over time.In 1973, the exhibition entitled Samekulturen (The Sámi Culture) opened its doors to the public for the first time, and for over forty years this exhibition has served as an important arena for the dissemination of Sámi culture to tourists, students and other visitors.

Arbeidstekster i utforskende arbeidsmetoder: Working texts within Science Inquiry
No full textInquiry learning depends on a variety of writing in order to plan, collect data and keep track of the information. In school science, however, writing to document teacher initiated experiments, following a setup, is widespread. This article follows a class of students during inquiry learning. Most of the student texts are so called working texts, texts used to gather and process their data. Thus the students writing practice is closer to that of scientists, as opposed to the praxis characterizing scientific literacy in school, as reproducing and concerning the schooled text culture, such as text books. This article argues that the term working texts can pose a useful contribution to the view of writing in school science
Strategic relationship management and civic information in an activist organization
No full textThis study examines the organizational practices of CODEPINK: Women for Peace, a social activist organization, between January 1 and October 1, 2018 to understand the organization’s strategic data-driven practices during activist campaigns. The results provide important insights into the mechanisms a digital-grassroots organization takes to spread civic information to users for political participation. In a series of semi-structured interviews, analyzed with content-analysis, respondents indicated organizational practices that included the use of a non-partisan political customer relationship management (CRM) platform, social matching, and interest-based targeted emailing. CODEPINK uses these tools to help facilitate support for fundraising, direct marketing, and organizing campaigns. Understanding how social movement organizations use media innovations to support their action repertoires provides a better framework for understanding modern-day activist practices
Reconstructing investigative journalism at emerging organisations
No full textWhile academic research has mainly focused on how legacy media organisations conduct their general news production work, fewer studies have focused on specialised practices such as investigative journalism in relation to innovation and technology. Scholars, however, have observed that news production is increasingly taking place outside the newsroom. In this context, the present article explores the ways in which emerging media organisations innovate and adapt practices of watchdog journalism within their staffs and facilities. Its case studies include a co-op that seeks to engage ordinary citizens in production; a collaborative data desk that aims to professionalise a variety of actors, including local journalists, citizen journalists, activists, hackers, developers and media organisers; and a global tech company that seeks to produce investigative journalism with national but also global resonance
Imposter Paranoia in the Age of Intelligent Surveillance : Policing Outlaws, Borders and Undercover Agents
No full textArtificial intelligence, deep learning and big data analytics are viewed as the technologies of the future, capable of delivering expert intelligence decisions, risk assessments and predictions within milliseconds. In a world of fakes, they promise to deliver ‘hard facts’ and data-driven ‘truth’, but their solutions resurrect ideologies of purity, embrace bogus science reminiscent of the likes of anthropometry, and create a deeply paranoid world where the Other is increasingly perceived either as a threat or as a potential imposter, or both. Social sorting in the age of intelligent surveillance acquires a whole new meaning. This article explores the possible effects of algorithmic governance on society through a critical analysis of the figure of the imposter in the age of intelligent surveillance. It links a critical analysis of new technologies of surveillance, policing and border control, to the extreme ethnographic example of paranoia within outlaw motorcycle clubs – organizations that are heavily targeted by new and old modes of policing and surveillance, while themselves increasingly embracing the very same logic and technologies themselves. With profound consequences. The article shows how in the quest for power, order, profit, and control, we are sacrificing critical reason and risk becoming as a society not unlike the paranoid criminal organizations
Architettura come codice di trasmissione dell'immagine dell'imperatore, dai Severi all'età costantiniana
No full textSi propone di “leggere” la produzione architettonica – e specialmente quella monumentale – non solo nelle sue valenze artistiche e funzionali, ma anche come veicolo di un messaggio con cui l’imperatore-committente vuole suggerire, ovviamente in modo ”occulto”, cioè in codice, una sua immagine “morale”. Si sottolinea l’intenzionalità di questo messaggio e se ne cercano le testimonianze analizzando le variazioni dello stile architettonico dai Severi a Costantino. I notevoli cambiamenti che si riscontrano in questo lasso di tempo lasciano ipotizzare un passaggio graduale da un’immagine imperiale basata sulla consistenza concreta e sulla stabilità del potere ad un’altra ben diversa che vuole evidenziare l’origine soprannaturale del potere imperiale e la predominanza degli aspetti spirituali su quelli materiali
