The politics of humanitarian journalism
No full textIn this chapter, we examine what we know, and do not know, about humanitarian news and identify the major challenges such journalism currently faces. In doing so, we hope to help producers, researchers and audiences of humanitarian news to reflect critically on the increasingly complex ethical and political dilemmas inherent in this field. We argue that the most pressing issue is the relationship between humanitarian journalism, the field of politics and the operation of power in global governance more generally. We distinguish three key areas of research on humanitarian journalism - content, production and reception – and show that politics and power are under-examined in all of them

Okkult realisme<subtitle>Det okkultes afsløring af hverdagsrealistiske tragedier i Astrid Ehrencron-Kiddes Martin Willén-fortællinger</subtitle>
No full textArtiklen er en analyse af den akademisk underbelyste danske forfatter Astrid Ehrencron-Kiddes Martin Willén-fortællinger, udgivet løbende i de første årtier af det 20. århundrede. Jeg argumenterer for, at fortællingerne skaber en interessant syntese af (social)realisme og det okkulte, hvor okkulte elementer fungerer i narrativet som en mulighedsbetingelse for realistiske skildringer af hverdagslig lidelse. Syntesen betegner jeg med begrebet okkult realisme. Hermed bidrager artiklen til bredere diskussioner om genrer og litterære strømninger omkring år 1900, særligt ved at belyse samspillet mellem to tilsyneladende modsatrettede tendenser: realisme og det fantastiske i bred forstand
The XMM-Newton long look of NGC 1365: uncovering of the obscured X-ray source
No full textWe present an analysis of the extreme obscuration variability observed during an XMM–Newton 5-d continuous monitoring of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in NGC 1365. The source was in a reflection-dominated state in the first ∼1.5 d, then a strong increase in the 7–10 keV emission was observed in ∼10 h, followed by a symmetric decrease. The spectral analysis of the different states clearly shows that this variation is due to an uncovering of the X-ray source. From this observation, we estimate a size of the X-ray source DS < 1013 cm, a distance of the obscuring clouds R∼ 1016 cm and a density n∼ 1011 cm−3. These values suggest that the X-ray absorption/reflection originates from the broad-line region clouds. This is also supported by the resolved width of the iron narrow Kα emission line, consistent with the width of the broad Hβ line
The G20 and beyond: Towards effective global economic governance
No full textThe report outlines the history of the G20 and reviews its membership in terms of the key patterns of inclusion and exclusion. The author argues the G20 has been largely ineffective in addressing the main global economic governance challenges and considers two approaches for reforming it. The report then suggests effective global economic governance requires moving beyond the G20 framework and proposes reshaping the Bretton Woods system

Single-family detached Housing: A branch of paradise or a problem? Part II. Single-family detached housing \u96 two Danish case studies (draft version)
No full textWorkshop 1. Session B. Abstract. This paper is an essay on the development and position of single-family housing on the Danish housing market. Homeownership in the form of single-family suburban housing has generally been in high demand at the same time as it has been a source of worry and discussion. The paper outlines the background for single-family housing and how the position of this type of housing has been evaluated in the housing policy debate in recent decades. Important themes are the position of the single-family housing stock first built in the 1960s and the 1970s, how stated housing preferences changes with economic trends, how to look at possible future housing preferences. On this background two case studies on suburban areas are presented. The concluding discussion concerns the need to question the future position of the suburban owner-occupied single-family house and to reconceptualise the single- family house in a future perspective as well as the challenges housing and urban policy needs to address
