Gender balance
No full textGender balance is defined as equal participation of women and men. Aiming for gender balance can be one pathway towards more equal, diverse, and inclusive societies. Gender balance can be achieved both vertically and horizontally within an organisation. Vertical gender balance is defined as an equal proportion of women and men in ranked positions of power. Horizontal gender balance is defined as an equal proportion of women and men across different fields of practices. A major limitation of the concept is that it builds on a binary understanding of gender which leads to statistical data handling that does not take gender diversity into account. Gender balance in academia needs to be seen in a broader context of transformational processes towards a more gender equal society. Innovative measures to map and monitor gender balance in research leadership have been recently developed in Norway. Those who work with the concept need to keep in mind that balanced representation does not necessarily lead to a redistribution of power
Möglichkeitsräume norwegischer Komponistinnen. Perspektiven des Arbeitsgesprächs des Forschungszentrums Musik und Gender 2011
No full textDer »Global Gender Gap Report«, in dem die Differenz der Geschlechter anhand von Indikatoren aus den Gebieten Wirtschaft, Gesundheit, Bildung und Politik gemessen wird, platziert die skandinavischen Länder schon seit mehreren Jahren auf den vordersten Plätzen. 2008 lag Norwegen sogar auf Platz. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern waren damit in keinem anderen Land geringer. Zum sechsten Bericht des »Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women« 2003 bezeichnete der UN-Ausschuss für die Beseitigung jeder Form von Diskriminierung der Frau Norwegen als »Hafen der Geschlechtergerechtigkeit«
Framdriftsrapport I: Arkhum – Senter for arktisk humaniora
No full textThe Center for Arctic Humanities responds to the challenges in the Research Council of Norway\u27s evaluation of the humanities in Norway. The center is part of UiT\u27s humanities initiative from 2021, initiated by the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education (HSL-fak), The Arctic University Museum of Norway and Academy of Fine Arts (UMAK), and the University Library (UB), and is a measure to achieve the goals in the development agreement with the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research (KD) regarding the strengthening of knowledge in and about the Arctic. It is based on the Norwegian parliamentary report on the Humanities in Norway (2016-2017), UiT\u27s humanities strategy (2021), and UiT\u27s strategy Eallju – Developing the High North: UiT’s strategy towards 2030 (2022). The University Board decided in November 2021 to finance the center for a four-year period with funds from UiT\u27s strategic development fund and a grant from the Ministry of Education and Research.

Resonating moments. Exploring socio-material connectivity through artistic encounters with people living with dementia
No full textIn this article, I introduce insights from new material feminist theories into the understanding of connectivity on the basis of an aesthetic analysis of artistic encounters with people living with dementia. I draw on data from a situated art intervention conducted within the Resonance Project at a residential care home in Northern Norway where researchers, artists, health-care professionals, people living with dementia and family members came together in co-creative music sessions. I analyse two resonating moments from the sessions by way of an abductive process, oscillating between theory, written notes, video recordings and my own embodied experiences in the field. I discuss the ways in which materiality, listening and the group matter when it comes to our ability to connect during the sessions. Based on these findings, I conclude that the notion of socio-material connectivity provides an entrance point for studying different ways of relating to people living with dementia and enquiring into relations that matter
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Den Norden lesen: Erinnerungen, Wahrnehmungen und Bedeutungen im interdisziplinären Dialog
No full textUnser Beitrag basiert auf der Methode der dramatischen Montage (Klok & Haselmann 2019). In der Begegnung mit zwei autoethnografischen literarischen Quellen, „Die Doktorsfamilie im hohen Norden“ (Gjems Selmer 1905) und „Eine Frau erlebt die Polarnacht“ (Ritter 1938), bewegen wir uns im Zwischenraum zeitlich und disziplinär getrennter Denkwelten. In unserer jeweiligen Rolle als Kulturwissenschaftlerin und Biologin treten wir in einen wissenschaftlichen Dialog über Erleben, Repräsentationen und Bedeutungen des Nordens. Ein Fokus liegt dabei auf den vielfältigen Modi, in denen der Norden sowohl in auf Erinnerungen basierenden literarischen Zeugnissen, als auch in der aktuellen Wahrnehmung zum Ausdruck kommt. Die Montage macht deutlich, dass der Norden für uns im multimodalen Zusammenspiel von Rhythmen, Klängen, Licht, Temperaturen, Gerüchen und Farben von Landschaften, Menschen, Tieren, Pflanzen und den Relationen zwischen ihnen an konkreter Bedeutung gewinnt. Indem wir uns dem Norden durch einen interdisziplinären und zugleich künstlerisch-kreativen Zugangs nähern, wird das neugewonnene Wissen relevant und anschlussfähig für zahlreiche akademische Fachgebiete.Our contribution is based on the method of dramatic assemblage (Klok and Haselmann 2019). Encountering two autoethnographic literary sources – The Doctor\u27s Family in the Far North (Gjems Selmer 1905) and A Woman in the Polar Night (Ritter 1938) we move between different temporal and disciplinary thinking practices. In our respective roles as cultural scientist and biologist we enter a research dialogue about experiences, representations, and meanings of ‘the north’. Our focus is on modes in which the north is expressed in both memory-based literary memoirs and current academic perceptions. The dramatic assemblage shows that the north gains concrete meaning in the multimodal interplay of rhythms, sounds, light, temperatures, smells, and colours of landscapes, people, animals, plants, and the relations between these. By approaching the north through an interdisciplinary and co-creative approach, newly gained knowledge becomes both relevant and accessible to a variety of academic fields
“Students can have a really powerful role…” Understanding Curriculum Transformation Within the Framework of Canon Critique and Critical Pedagogy
No full textEducational practice needs to continuously update the curriculum in line with both current theoretical
frameworks developed within academia and the lived reality of the coming generation. This
article takes the student perspective on this issue, investigating a case from secondary music education
in England. In 2015, Jessy McCabe initiated a successful campaign for the inclusion of women
composers on the A-level syllabus, in order to create a more gender-balanced curriculum. Drawing
on a qualitative interview with Jessy McCabe, I elaborate on the significance of the campaign
within the framework of canon critique and critical pedagogy. The case shows that balancing the
curriculum needs no longer to be a “future position” as Lucy Green suggested in 1997. The qualitative
data underscore the importance of the teacher as a role model and the effectiveness of the
student as co-investigator within the process of curriculum transformation. In both cases, a gender
perspective can be an appropriate and significant tool to achieving a more balanced curriculum
