“Drawn Together in a Blood Brotherhood”: Civic Nationalism amongst Scandinavian Immigrants in the American Civil War Crucible
Get PDFThe American Civil War, 1861-1865, broke out during a time of intense debate over slavery and fear of foreign-born influence on American society. The war’s outbreak, however, provided both freedmen and immigrants an opportunity to prove their loyalty to the United States. Scandinavian Americans, among other ethnic groups, seized the opportunity. This article argues that the Scandinavian elite implicitly constructed at least three different forms of ethnic identity – here termed exclusive, political, and national – to spur enlistment at the ground level, gain political influence, and demonstrate American allegiance. In the process the Scandinavian war effort strengthened these immigrant soldiers’ ties to their adopted nation, while a political ethnic identity, initially constructed in opposition to other ethnic groups, was weakened by the Scandinavians’ experience in the American multiethnic military crucible. The Civil War thereby hastened Scandinavian immigrants’ path towards the American mainstream, where many veterans subsequently served as a bridge between their local communities and broader American society, and reinforced their belief in American civic nationalism
Forskningsmåling og evaluering i humaniora og samfunnsvitenskap
Get PDFHumaniora og samfunnsvitenskap mangler god dekning i tradisjonelle bibliometriske data og indikatorer som er basert på Scopus og Web of Science – se figur 1. Den viser dekningen av norske vitenskapelige publikasjoner i de to datakildene. Bildet vil være noenlunde det samme for Danmark. Dekningen av fagene øker noe fra år til år, men humaniora og samfunnsvitenskap har likevel systematisk manglende dekning fordi man der publiserer både nasjonalt og internasjonalt, og både i bøker og tidsskrifter

Når musikken spiller
Get PDFI dag er det de færreste biblioteker, der benytter sig af musik til at forbedre brugerens biblioteksoplevelse. I stedet er det ofte småsnak eller stilhed, man møder på landets biblioteker - hvad enten det gælder fag-, forsknings-, uddannelses- eller offentlige biblioteker. Dette på trods af, at det moderne biblioteksrum benyttes på mange forskellige måder, og at der i dag skal være plads til både samvær, fordybelse og afslapning. Musikken indeholder et ubenyttet potentiale i forhold til de relationer og den atmosfære, der skabes på biblioteket
Dealing with the Uncanny? Cultural Adaptation in Matt Reeves’s Vampire Movie Let Me In
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to examine cultural adaptation and uncanny potential in Matt Reeves’s vampire movie Let Me In (2010), which is an adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s vampire novel Låt den rätte komma in (2004) – in English translation, Let the Right One In (2007) – and the Swedish film adaptation (2008), for which Lindqvist wrote the screenplay. The article draws on Linda Hutcheon’s theoretical account of “transculturating” and “transcultural adaptations” as well as on different discussions of the uncanny. My analysis establishes that both films evoke the uncanny by introducing horror into the familiar and ordinary as represented by the geographical setting; however, it also shows that there are significant ideological differences between the American film and the Swedish film and novel concerning gender and sexuality, particularly related to the two central figures of the boy and the vampire, but also in relationships that can be regarded as part of the general social and cultural setting. In short, gender-bending and sexual ambiguities, in addition to the uncanny aspects of the human protagonist, are omitted in the American version. In these respects, Reeves’s adaptation is less complex, less uncanny, and much more ideologically conservative than the Swedish versions
From Nuclear Hedging to Korea-Japan Nuclear Weapons Free Zone: Japan's Nuclear Options
Get PDFThis article discusses both the positive and negative effects of Japan's three nuclear strategies: nuclear hedging, nuclear breakout, and the Korea-Japan Nuclear Weapons Free Zone (KJNWFZ). Nuclear hedging has been the longest established strategy to protect Japan's national security but it will become increasingly unreliable in the coming decades. Nuclear breakout, an alternative strategy, is impractical due to its high costs. In comparison, this article argues that KJNWFZ is the ideal option for Japan's future nuclear strategy. However, in recent years, the Japanese government has maintained the status quo, despite the scale of anti-nuclear protest across the country following the Fukushima crisis. Civilian anti-nuclear does not effectively in-fluence nuclear strategy decision-making, due to a combination of national electoral politics, interests groups, the 'veto players' of the right-wing, and the broader regional security context. In conclusion, the nuclear hedging policy remains the accepted balance of interests supported by decision-makers
