“The Great Initiate of God’s Grace” : A Kontakion on Saint Nicholas by Pseudo-Romanos [English Translation] with an introduction by Uffe H. Eriksen
No full textDuring the ninth and tenth centuries, St Nicholas of Myra became increasingly popular as a saint, eventually rising to rank of the apostles in veneration. This article presents an investigation into the monastic piety which brought St Nicholas onto the stage of the Byzantine liturgical storyworld as one of the most important saints. Through a closer examination of how he was presented from the ninth century onwards in hagiography in general, the main focus of the article is a kontakion on the saint attributed to the great poet Romanos the Melodist (ca. 485–560) in particular. The question of authorship, time and place of origin of the kontakion is discussed. The article finally brings a new translation of the kontakion into English.Translation by Uffe H.

Keynesian economics and the Oslo School
No full textThe economic crisis of the 1930’s hit Norway when Ragnar Frisch returned from the US to accept a professorship at University of Oslo. On his return he wrote newspaper articles proposing tax relief and monetary policies to fight the economic crisis. Frisch abandoned his monetary policies and developed his Oslo School emphasising mathematical models, econometrics, national accounts, and detailed state governance. For the next four decades this School dominated economic policy in Norway where market forces had been substituted with administrative decision making. Keynes, with his General Theory, pointed out that a market economy with an active government can secure full employment. When the ideas of the Oslo School were challenged at the end of the 1970’s, by academics and through the poor performance of the economy, it collapsed. A decentralised market economy was reintroduced and The Keynesian paradigm emerged as the preferred theory compared to the approach of the Oslo School.

Temporal dynamics of interference in Simon and Eriksen tasks considered within the context of a dual-process model.
No full textBehavioral and brain potential measures were employed to compare interference in Eriksen and Simon tasks. Assuming a dual-process model of interference elicited in speeded response tasks, we hypothesized that only lateralized stimuli in the Simon task induce fast S–R priming via direct unconditional processes, while Eriksen interference effects are induced later via indirect conditional processes. Delays to responses for incongruent trials were indeed larger in the Eriksen than in the Simon task. Only lateralized stimuli in the Simon task elicited early S–R priming, maximal at parietal areas. Incongruent flankers in the Eriksen task elicited interference later, visible as a lateralized N2. Eriksen interference also elicited an additional component (N350), which accounted for the larger behavioral interference effects in the Eriksen task. The findings suggest that interference and its resolution involve different processes for Simon and Eriksen tasks.

Learning to be Norwegian : a case study of identity management in religious education in Norway
No full textMy PhD project is called ”Learning to be Norwegian. Religion and national
identity in religious education in Norway.” It is a case study of how religion is
mobilised in the construction of national identity, both from above and below.
The "above" perspective is operationalised as a discourse analysis of Curricula
in Norway from 1974 to 2008. The “below” perspective is operationalised as
participant observation in classrooms, following 15 teachers in 3 secondary
schools in Eastern Norway.
In terms of theoretical questions asked of this material, I engage with the
literature on multiculturalism in Western Europe (Barry 2001, Baumann 1996,
1999, Eriksen 2007, Fuglerud and Eriksen 2007, Joppke 2004, 2009, Modood
2007, Parekh 2006, Phillips 2007). I identify a distinction between liberalists,
multiculturalists and hybridists in terms of the key question: What is the best
way to understand groups with identity claims? My main claim to originality in
is that people can be described as engaging in fluidising and solidifying
practices – making social structures more fluid or more solid through their social
activities. This implies that there are different levels of viscosity in how solid or
fluid groups with identity claims are. Theorists dealing with groups with identity
claims, including the sociology of religion, education and identity, would benefit
from a variable social ontology of groups. I propose that the terms “Viscosity” -
“boundaries” and “work”, taken together provide one such framework that
works well with my data.
Significant empirical findings include a shift over time in the meaning of the
term “values”. In 1974, the word “values” was connected primarily with ethics
in the formal curricula. By the 1990s this had changed. It was now also, and
dominantly, connected to notions of identity. Religion is consistently mobilised
for identity through metaphors of personal stability, or and through establishing
metaphorical connections that make the nation appear as sharing crucial features
with the individual self.
These ideas are revisited in classroom ethnographic data. The assumptions found
in the curriculum are challenged by the practices of teachers and pupils. It is
clear that the most important concepts of identity, such as “Muslim” or
“Norwegian” are being worked on by defining what and who is on the inside
and what and who is on the outside. Nevertheless, the classrooms become
effective learning communities, though more through shared actions, shared
discussions and well-managed disagreement than through sameness and shared
values. Teachers and pupils use the concept of “facts” both to further their own
normative arguments, but also to remain out of the reach of accusations of
cultural or religious insensitivity. Finally, my study undermines static
conceptions of how discourses affect the social world. As an alternative, I try to
develop an understanding of actors engaging in fluidising and solidifying
practices
