Horizons of enchantment: essays in the American imaginary
Get PDFAbout the Book
(from upne.com) Lene M. Johannessen\u27s Horizons of Enchantment is about the peculiar power and exceptional pull of the imaginary in American culture. Johannessen\u27s subject here is the almost mystical American belief in the promise and potential of the individual, or the reliance on a kind of modern magic that can loosely be characterized as a fundamental and unwavering faith in the secular sanctity of the American project of modernity. Among the diverse topics and cultural artifacts she examines are the Norwegian American novel A Saloonkeeper\u27s Daughter by Drude Krog Janson, Walt Whitman\u27s Song of Myself, Rodolfo Gonzales\u27s I Am Joaquín, Richard Ford\u27s The Sportwriter, Ana Menéndez\u27s In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd, essays by Samuel Huntington and Richard Rodriquez, and the 2009 film Sugar, about a Dominican baseball player trying to make it in the big leagues. In both her subject matter and perspective, Johannessen reconfigures and enriches questions of the transnational and exceptional in American studies. (from upne.com).

"To portray is to meet" : the performativity of Lene Marie Fossen's photographic self-portraits
Get PDFArtykuł dotyczy twórczości norweskiej fotografki Lene Marie Fossen (1986-2019) i poświęconego jej filmu dokumentalnego Autoportret (2020, reż. Margareth Olin, Katja Høgset i Espen Wallin). W próbie współmyślenia z fotograficznymi autoportretamiartystki, która chorowała na anoreksję o ciężkim przebiegu, autor sięga po metodologie performatyczne, przede wszystkim teorie performatywności indeksu (Margaret Olin) i reprezentacji (Peggy Phelan).

w artykule opisu praktyki artystycznej Fossen stanowią kategorie imaginariów autologicznych, obejmujących dyskursy wolności indywidualnej, i genealogicznych, obejmujących dyskursy społecznych ograniczeń (Elizabeth A. Povinelli). Autor interpretuje zdjęcia norweskiej fotografki jako efekty jej eksperymentów z własną cielesnością w punkcie przecięcia i wzajemnego podważania się tych imaginariów. Fotograficzne (re)prezentacje nie odpowiadają na pytanie, kim jest bądź nie jest rzeczywista Fossen, lecz są wypróbowywaniem siły wyobraźni artystki i odbiorców jej sztuki. Autor stawia tezę, że medium fotografii dało Fossen możliwość balansowania na granicy oznaczoności i nieoznaczoności, i dostrzega w tym emancypacyjny potencjał jej fotograficznych autoportretów.This article discusses the work of the Norwegian photographer Lene Marie Fossen (1986-2019) and a documentary film about her: Self-Portrait (2020, dir. Margareth Olin, Katja Høgset, and Espen Wallin). In an attempt to co-think with photographic self-portraits of the artist, who suffered from severe anorexia, the author draws on methodologies of performance studies, especially the theories of performative index (Margaret Olin) and representation (Peggy Phelan). The proposed description of Fossen’s artistic practice has been inspired by categories of autological imaginaries, encompassing discourses of individual freedom, and genealogical imaginaries, encompassing discourses of social constraints (Elizabeth A. Povinelli). The author interprets Fossen’s photographs as results of her experiments with her own corporeality at a point where these imaginaries intersect and undermine each other. The photographic (re)presentations do not answer the question of who the real Fossen is or is not, but rather test the power of the artist’s and her audiences’ imagination. Arguing that the medium of photography gave Fossen the ability to balance the border between the marked and the umarked, the author sees this as the source of the emancipatory potential of her photographic self-portraits
A Evolução dos Estudos de Segurança Internacional

FOCALIZATION IN LENE ASK’S GRAPHIC NOVEL HITLER, JESUS AND GRANDFATHER
Get PDFThe article reviews the graphic novel “Hitler, Jesus and Grandfather” (2006) by the
Norwegian artist and writer Lene Ask. The book has got several awards including the
Sproing Prize 2006 for best Norwegian comic book of the year. In 2011 the novel was
reprinted with an edition of five thousand copies. That’s a record edition for a Norwegian
graphic novel. This is an autobiographical story about Ask’s protagonist establishing
herself as an artist and finding her self-identity. This article compares focalization in
the novel’s visual and textual component and shows how word-image combinations
collaborate to create new levels in the narrative. One distinguishes four types of such
collaboration in the narrative and concludes: the images in the novel show the narrator’s
sensory experience: things that are happening in her life and her interaction with the
other persons. Where the narrator lacks such an experience, the gaps are filled with the
narrator’s visualization of the facts based on the media sources. The text presents the
narrator’s internal monologue and helps the person to comprehend and come to grips
with her sensory experience. The narrator verbalizes what is happening in her life and
what has happened in the history of her family, asks some questions and looks for the
answers trying to find the right place in her life. The panels where the text component
is absent, describe usually the situations where the person experiences frustration or
loss. Her emotions are too overwhelming, so that she can’t rationalize her experience
through speech. In these situations the reader should fill the gaps with the help of one’s
own life experience and take the role as a co-author of the story

ISLAMISERINGEN AF DEN NYE GENERATION: Rapport fra en islamisk skole i Kairo
Get PDFLene Kofoed Rasmussen: Islamization of
the New Generation. Report from an
Islamic School in Cairo
The article takes as its starting point the
attitudes towards education among female
Islamists who are active in an Islamic school
in Cairo. It is a private school that aims to be
more Islamic than the ordinary governmental
school. The women whose positions
are quoted in the article are all engaged in
Islamism and carry out da'wa, missionary
activities, as teachers and/or mothers. These
women argue for a moderation of Islamic
precepts such as the assertion of the absolute
authority of elders, the demand for
obedience, the requirement of the veil, and
the segregation of genders. Through their
work of Islamizing the new generation, the
women themselves undergo a process of
subjectification; they represent the Muslim
woman as an active and responsible subject
worthy of imitation. The author argues that a
potential effect of the process of subjectification
is a new image of the Muslim woman,
challenging other potent images prevalent in
the Egyptian public, such as the Muslim
woman as a temptress and disturber of the
public order, and the Muslim woman as a
passive victim
Synthesis and characterization of liquid crystalline block copolyamides, 1983
Get PDFThe synthesis and characterization of aliphatic polyamides, aromatic poly�amides and block copolyamides are discussed. The following aliphatic polyamides were synthesized: poly(trans l,4 cyclo hexylene trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide), poly(trans 1, 4 cyclohexy lene cis,trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide), and poly(trans 1, 2 cyclohexy lene tr ans 1,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide). The following aromatic polyamides were synthe�sized: poly(1, 4 phenyleneterephthalamide) and poly(2 methyl l,3 phenylenetere phthalamide). The following block copolyamides were synthesized: poly(trans l,4 cyclohexylene trans 1,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide b 1,4 phenyleneterephthalam ide), poly(trans l,4 cyclohexy lene cis,trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide b l,4 phenyleneterephthalamide), poly(trans 1, 4 cyclohexy lene trans 1,4 cyclohexanedi carboxamide b 2 methyl l,3 phenyleneterephthalamide), poly(trans l,4 cyclohexy lene cis,trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide b 2 methyl l,3 phenyleneterephthal amide), poly(trans l,2 cyclohexylene trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarboxamide b l,4 phenyleneterephthalamide) and poly(2 methyl l,3 phenyleneterephthalamide b l,4 phenyieneterephthalamide). The polymers were prepared by low temperature solution polycondensation, ambient temperature interfacial polycondensation and combinations of solution and interfacial polycondensations. Aliphatic oligomers were prepared from trans l,4 cyclohexanediamine,trans 1,2 cyclohexanediamine, trans l,4 cyclohexanedicarbonyl chloride, and cis,trans 1,4 cyclohexanedicarbony 1 chloride using a 10 percent excess of diamine. Aromatic oligomers were prepared from 1,4 phenylenediamine, 2,6 diaminotoluene and terephthaloyl chloride using a 10 percent excess of acid chloride. Block copolymers were prepared by reacting the aliphatic blocks having amino end groups with the aromatic blocks having acid chloride end groups. Characterization of the aliphatic and aromatic blocks and the block copolymers was accomplished by spectroscopic analysis (infrared, proton and carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance) and solution viscosity
Apprenticeships, mobility and wages an investigation on French data
No full text
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the effect of mobility on the apprentices’ wages.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a French longitudinal survey concerned with young people’s entry into the labor market and their subsequent employment trajectories, this paper estimates the impact of mobility on post-apprenticeship wages correcting for different selection bias.
Findings
Mobility is both voluntary and enforced. It combines imposed selection mechanisms and more active match searching behaviors on the part of apprentices. Apprentices who change employer do not have significant lower starting wages than those who remain in their training firms. Nevertheless, in the medium term, those who defer their moves tend to benefit more from their mobility. Those who move immediately see their wage rising less sharply.
Practical implications
The findings indicate that policy makers should be concerned with job mobility at the end of the apprenticeship contract. Manpower policies should focus on measures that enhance the transferability of accumulated skills and the acquisition of new skills by apprentices.
Originality/value
To the author’ best knowledge, this is the first paper studying the effect of mobility on apprentices’ wages in a dynamic perspective and correcting for the selection of different categories of mobility (immediate vs deferred mobility).

On the monks table:the Cistercian food and eating culture in medieval Denmark
No full textThe Cistercians arose as a spiritual reform of the European monasticism around 1100 AD. A group of French monks wanted to change the monastic life and return to the Rule of Saint Benedict. The Cistercians were known for their severity and harshness in all matters of Monastic life, including their daily consumption of food. The monks were supposed to refrain from gluttony. Food was considered as fuel for the body and not to be consumed with pleasure. Meat from four-legged animals was prohibited; since meat was regarded as too stimulate the carnal desire, so abstinence from meat-eating was an important tool to curb the sexual drive.This study describes the Cistercians in Denmark and their relationship towards food based on an interdisciplinary approach using historical, archaeological, archaeobotanical and bioarchaeological sources. The aim is to identify the diet of the Danish Cistercians and to investigate if it is possible to detect changes in the Cistercian food intake through time.ON THE MONKS TABLE – THE CISTERCIAN FOOD AND EATING CULTURE IN MEDIEVAL DENMARKAbstract author(s): Mollerup, Lene (Museum Skanderborg)Abstract format: OralThe Cistercians arose as a spiritual reform of the European monasticism around 1100 AD.
