«Da går jeg hjem og googler det i stedet»: Improvisasjon og medskaping i møter mellom elever og rådgivere
Basert på fokusgruppeintervjuer undersøker denne studien hvordan elever opplever møter med rådgivere i ungdomsskoler og videregående skoler. Individualisering danner en sentral kontekst for elevers valgprosesser. Improvisasjon, forstått som rådgiveres varhet for elevenes ønsker og behov og evne til å være til stede i her-og-nå-situasjonen, brukes for å belyse elevenes opplevelser av å møte rådgiveren. Rådgiverens balansekunst mellom informasjon, refleksjon og handlingsorientering ser ut til å være sentral for at eleven skal oppleve et godt møte med rådgiveren. Funnene tyder på at rådgiverens evne til improvisasjon og hennes/hans evne til å se og forstå eleven har betydning for hvordan rådgiveren oppleves. Dette ser ut til å kreve en balanse mellom å oppfatte elevens ønsker og behov og å tilpasse rolleutøvelsen til dette. Studien foreslår at dette kan gjøres gjennom en improvisasjonsbasert rådgivningspraksis. Videre fremkommer det at hvis eleven får anledning til å være medskaper i egne valgprosesser, kan dette bidra til at eleven ønsker videre kontakt med rådgiver.Based on focus group interviews, this study explores secondary and upper secondary school pupils’ experiences with counsellor meetings. Individualization forms a central context for pupil choices. Improvisation (i.e., the counsellor’s alertness to the pupil’s wishes and needs and their ability to be present in the here-and-now situation) is used to expound on pupils’ experiences of meeting the counsellor. The counsellor’s balance between information, reflection and action is a central factor in the pupil having a good experience with counsellor meetings. There are indications that a counsellor’s ability to improvise is vital to a pupil’s counselling experience. This requires a balance between the counsellor’s perception of the pupil’s wishes and needs and the action of adapting their role as a counsellor accordingly. The study proposes that this can be done through an improvisation-based counselling practice. Furthermore, if pupils are given the opportunity to be co-creators in their own choice process, this can contribute to their willingness to continue meeting with their counsellors
Boundaries of Participation
In this essay I explore three questions central in the current discourse on audience participation in theatre and performance. First, what do we mean when we talk about participation, and who is it really for? Second, are expectations that participation represents a democratization of the arts realistic, or is this an aspect of interactive and participatory theatre projects that is over-emphasized? And finally, how has critique against neoliberalist ideology come into the current discourse, and how relevant is this critique in the Norwegian context? I will not go into theoretical discussions on definitions and models of participation and interaction, or if theatre is always already participatory. Instead, I will focus on the ideals that are regularly attributed to participation, and the critique against participatory practices that have surfaced during the last decade

Djebba’s Cabaret
Djebba’s cabaret is the portrait of a young brewer of bilbil (Traditional millet beer). Djebba is a young woman who has trained as a teacher but has been unable to find work for 05 years. To survive in a big city like Ngaoundéré (Cameroon), she brews and sells millet beer so that she can support herself. Despite the low profit of the brewing profession, she has won the loyalty of a large number of customers with whom she shares very familiar relationships. Djebba’s business allows her to live on a daily basis but she still hopes that one day she will finally be able to work as a teacher
Against Cure and Toward Access in Musical Engagement
In this paper, I reflect on my own experiences undergoing occupational therapy with musical elements in the United States in childhood for impairments related to physical coordination and visual processing. Although therapy involving music was by far the most enjoyable and least painful of the therapies and treatments I underwent as a multiply-disabled child, it was still anchored in the language of removing my impairments and/or aligning me better with nondisabled norms. I build on the work of Robert Gross (incorporating the social model of disability into music therapy) and Emily Elaine Williams (the participatory model of accommodation enabling music for pleasure, not for therapy). I also draw on works in the autistic and cross-disability online spheres on the overmedicalization of disabled people’s leisure activities to argue that framing music as a possible agent of cure or normalization harmfully obscures the ways in which music can provide access and mitigate impairments when directed and controlled by the listener, rather than by the therapist. My paper will also contrast music as therapy (imposed by others) vs. music as access tool (self-imposed) via a playlist and corresponding analysis. Music is central to my overall engagement with the world, affecting everything from processing and describing emotions, to communicating, to aiding in sensory processing. By introducing music as an access tool, or even as a form of assistive technology, I aim to challenge the dominant framing of normalization in therapy involving music and shift the focus to affirming disabled ways of engaging with music
Communities of practice and lexical variation in the Montréal Turkish community
This study examines the social organization of the Turkish community in Montréal and its influence on language use. The Montréal Turkish community has been growing since the 1960s as a result of various waves of migration. Bilge (2004) explained the fragmented structure of the community through ethnicity (Turks, Kurds and Armenians). However, conservative movements have grown stronger in the last two decades in Turkey and recent socio-politic changes are mostly based on religion rather than ethnicity. I anticipate that these sociological changes in Turkey have an impact on the organization of the Turkish community in Montréal and that I can observe the social identity of the members of the Turkish community in Montréal through lexical variation. To verify this prediction, I used a dual methodology: participant observation and analysis of the words used by participants to describe the structure of the Montréal Turkish community, the group to which they feel they belong, and other groups. The ethnographic study confirms that conflicts triggered by the socio-political structure and national ideology in the country of origin are determining factors in the organization of the Montréal Turkish community. Montréal Turks form an immigrant community divided into at least two communities of practice, traditionalist and progressive, each with its own socialization sites and its own discourse/style
New steps towards a Norwegian drug reform? Three recent Supreme Court cases concerning sentencing for drug crimes
Behaviourally informed approach to corporate criminal law: Ethicality as efficiency
An extensive body of behavioural evidence suggests that our actions are not primarily steered by threats of sanction but, instead, by morals, habits, and social norms. This proposition applies equally in corporate environments. Yet, corporate criminal law has traditionally relied on fear of sanctions and deterrence as the prevailing theoretical guidance. This article argues that this line of thinking leads to misinformed regulatory results because of a misguided behavioural assumption of an amoral calculative individual. To bridge the gap between the accumulated behavioural data and doctrinal corporate criminal law, this article suggests a novel behaviourally informed corporate crime prevention theory. Instead of solely concentrating on deterrence and threats of sanction, modern corporate criminal policy should favour regulatory designs that incentivise ethics-based corporate compliance structures that make use of morals as efficient behavioural constraints. Based on the findings of this article, this is best attained by adopting a guilt-based corporate criminal liability model recognising a corporation as a moral actor capable of ethical considerations
