Dialogue with Magdalena Górska
No full textThis chapter analyzes dusty lungs syndrome and prosodies of phone-sex breathing in order to articulate how the quotidian material agency of bodies is not only a political issue but also enacts politics. By introducing the concept of matter-work as an articulation of the everyday work that bodies do in metabolizing natural-cultural worlds, the book develops a non-universalizing and politicized understanding of embodiment in which human bodies are conceptualized as agential actors of intersectional politics. In this conversation with Magdalena Gorska, the authors discuss the development of her PhD dissertation: Breathing matters: Feminist intersectional politics of vulnerability. Thus, while the notion of intra-action is one of the concepts that’s most often cited from Barad’s work, the author thinks the notion of difference – and differencing as a form of dynamism – is just as crucial for agential realism
The use of features specifik to the novella in Helle Helles Rester and Biler og Dyr
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the way in which the novellas in Rester and Biler og Dyr, by the Danish author Helle Helle, uses the typical features of the novella. This is done in order to get an impression of the way in which one can say, that they comply with these typical features and the way in which one can say that they exeed them.Through this investigation an attempt is made to place the texts within the genre field of the different short texts that resemble the novellas. These are kortprosa (short prose), short story and noveller (novellas).This investigation is based on theory about short prose by Max Ipsen in his book Kortprosa 1990-2003 and theory about the novellas by Annemette Hejlsted in her book Novellen – teori og analyse.<br/

Fravær som et kompositionsprincip i Helle Helles novellesamling Rester (1996)
No full textThe paper analyses the short story collection titled Remnants written by the notable Danish author, Helle Helle. This work is characteristic of the contemporary minimalist movement, and is one of the most significant works of the 1990’s in Danish literature. The main point of the paper is the notion of absence and loss, which is treated as the work’s dominating principle. The paper attempts to prove that this governing principle of “absence and loss” both applies to the collection’s plot and its composition. Accordingly, several examples from the text are included to demonstrate the principle’s relevance
Opportunities and limitations for learning within teachers’ collaboration in teams: perspectives from action learning
No full textAnsatser til en agential realistisk tænkning om læring
No full textDenne artikel udforsker, hvad man kan forstå ved læring med udgangspunkt i agential rea- listisk tænkning. En agential realistisk tænkning om læring gør en dyd ud af at udvise sensitivitet overfor den kompleksitet, læring som fænomen er karakteriseret ved. Læring er derfor en dynamisk og emergerende stør- relse, der er kendetegnet ved hele tiden at være i processer af at blive til, ligesom det også er kendetegnende for agential realistisk tænkning om læring, at spektret af kompo- nenter, der tillægges handlekraft i relation til læring, udvides markant. I artiklen fokuseres på materiel-diskursivitet, spatialitet og tem- poralitet. Derudover gentænkes begreber som tilegnelse og transfer, og der argumenteres med udgangspunkt i et observationsnotat for, at intra-aktivitet og “spring” er karakteristiske egenskaber ved læring. I en agential realistisk tænkning om læring er begrebet re-konfigura- tioner et omdrejningspunkt og med det brydes en tendens til at forstå læring som enten mere af det samme eller radikal forandring i form af “tiører der falder”. For skønt læreproces- ser, der ikke genkendes som “aha-oplevelser”, ikke gør meget væsen af sig, er det sådan, de forekommer flest.This article explores what can be understood by learning based on agential realist thinking. An agential realist thinking about learning is sensitive to the complexity that characterizes learning as a phenomenon. Thus, learning from an agential realist perspective is a dynamic and emergent phenomenon characterized by constantly being in processes of becoming and by expanding the range of components involved in the constitutive processes thereto. This article focuses on material-discursivity, spatiality, and temporality. Furthermore, concepts like acquisition and transfer are revisited in the article and it is argued – via an excerpt from a field note – that intra-activity and “leaps” are characteristics of learning. Re-configurations are pivotal for this thinking about learning and the concept of re-configurations breaks the tendency to understand learning as either more of the same or a radical change in the sense of “penny dropped”. For although learn- ing processes that are not recognized as “aha moments” do not call much attention to them- selves, this is how they occur most often
The notion of absence as a structural principle in Helle Helle’s short story collection 'Rester' (1996)
No full textArtiklens formål er at foretage en analyse af Helle Helles novellesamling 'Rester' (1996), som er en af de mest opsigtvækkende novellesamlinger i 1990’ernes Danmark. Hovedvægten lægges på fravær, mangel og tab som samlingens dominerende kompositionsprincipper. Fraværsprincippet gælder for alle niveauer i teksten, dvs. for kompositionen, indholdet og sproget. Talrige eksempler på mangel- og tabstematikken bruges i artiklen for at anskueliggøre princippets relevans.The paper analyses the short story collection titled 'Rester' (Remnants) written by the notable Danish author, Helle Helle.

New words on the wild
No full textThe artist and author Helle Laursen has, together with Kerteminde library and various schoolchildren, created a project that, through fiction, gives children new words for the wild. It inspires the search for knowledge, creates awareness and gives the children an emotional connection to nature. It also empowers children to
discuss climate change and sustainability. New words for the wild gives children new insights in, as well as new awareness and new respect for the nature around
them. A benefit of the project is that it can be scaled accordingly, and used in any natural setting. The project opens childrens’ minds and stimulates the joy of
reading, with fictional texts and nature activities provided by the specially designed logbook and workshop, all facilitated by artist and author Helle Laursen.
The logbook provides a constant awareness about nature's importance, as it engages children in their classroom. The library facilitates the process of funding and cooperation with the local
primary schools, thereby reaching the children and their families. While the
project has been running, the library has had a special focus on providing and
presenting books about nature, biodiversity and climate change
