Turning Points and Conflicting Interests: An Analysis of Changing Visions for Teaterhuset Avant Garden
Get PDFTeaterhuset Avant Garden (TAG) was a theatre in Trondheim that co-produced and presented the work of independent performing artists and groups fromNorway and abroad. By taking a closer look at events between 1993 and 2003, this article situates TAG within broader aesthetic, organizational, and politicalcontexts and analyses the impact of these events on visions for the theatre’s future. The article is based on archival research for a forthcoming book onTAG that deals with the period 1984–2018. In 2019, TAG changed its name to Rosendal Teater in honour of the historic building where it has since relocated

No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
En særegen form for oppmerksomhet
Get PDFIn this article I take a closer look at the work of Mette Edvardsen and Morten Traavik. Their respective bodies of work have little in common in artistic terms, yet both have generated public debate. Rather than being based on informed, critical engagement with the work and practice of these artists, the debate has largely questioned the value of what they do and the public funding that supports it. I see this debate as a reminder of how art necessarily acts or works within contexts, and of the need for qualified insights into how it does so. Within the performing arts, scholars have been thinking about concepts of autonomy and heteronomy and how they might contribute to understanding different practices and experiences of contemporary performing art. These ideas inform this article, which examines the work and practice of Edvardsen and Traavik with an emphasis on aesthetic, dramaturgical and contextual perspectives.In this article I take a closer look at the work of Mette Edvardsen and Morten Traavik.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
