  • Fotballinvestorenes Motiver
    NORGES HANDELSHØYSKOLE Bergen, 17.06.10 En fotballinvestors motiver Om hvorfor aksjeselskaper tilknyttet fotballklubber ikke genererer profitt for sine eiere Anders Gammelsæter Veileder: Øystein Foros Selvstendig arbeid innen masterstudiet i økonomi- og administrasjon Hovedprofil i finansiell økonomi NORGES HANDELSHØYSKOLE Bergen, våren 2010 Dette selvstendige arbeidet er gjennomført som ledd i masterstudiet i økonomi- og administrasjon ved Norges Handelshøyskole og godkjent som sådan. Godkjenningen innebærer ikke at Høyskolen innestår for de metoder som er anvendt, de resultater som er fremkommet eller de konklusjoner som er trukket i arbeidet. SAMMENDRAG Denne masterutredningen forsøker å forklare hvordan det har seg at aksjeselskaper tilknyttet fotballklubber tilsynelatende mislykkes i å generere overskudd for sine eiere. Jeg undersøker om årsaken kan være at investorer med denne typen investeringer har andre motiver enn profitt eller om det er slik at profitt inngår i målfunksjonen til klubbene, men at den konkurreres vekk på grunn av den strukturelle organiseringen i fotballens marked. For å få en dypest mulig forståelse har jeg brukt et case - Molde Fotballklubb. Jeg har benyttet avisintervjuer og selv intervjuet fire sentrale personer i klubben for å få belyst problemstillingen best mulig. Basert på empiri og teori forsøker jeg avslutningsvis å besvare problemstillingen. I den grad Molde Fotballklubb er representativ finner jeg at investorer har større fokus på andre motiver enn økonomisk profitt. Samtidig finner jeg at det er vanskelig å operere med profittmaksimerende mål i denne bransjen uten at det går på bekostning av det sportslige, og at dette sannsynligvis er en erkjennelse investorene gjør når de lærer bransjen å kjenne. 2 FORORD Denne oppgaven er det avsluttende arbeidet i en femårig utdannelse ved Norges Handelshøyskole.

  • What Did They Sound Like?
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Íslensk miðaldafræði What did they sound like? Reconstructing the music of the Viking Age Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Chihiro Tsukamoto Kt.: 250493-3209 Leiðbeinandi: Þórir Jónsson Hraundal Janúar 2017 Abstract There has been much scholarship over the years regarding Scandinavian culture during the Viking Age (c. 793–1066 CE). However, often missing from these discussions is the study of music. This paper attempts to fill that gap by offering a reconstruction of Viking Age Scandinavian music. Archaeological evidence, literary records, and medieval music theories were used as the basis of this study. Archaeology indicates that Scandinavians played wind, string, and percussion instruments, while later Old Norse literary accounts detail the many circumstances wherein music was performed, and suggest the likely existence of different musical genres. I have consulted Arabic, Greek, and Latin accounts for contemporary sources, as the Scandinavian people did not have a written culture during this time. Marking a departure from typical historical analyses, I have also conducted a cross- cultural comparison of medieval Arabic, Greek, and Western European music theories in order to recognize what Scandinavian music could not have resembled. By combining archaeological, literary, and musical evidence, it is possible to propose a highly educated hypothesis on how Viking Age Scandinavian music may have sounded. Ágrip Mikið hefur verið rætt og ritað í gegnum árin um Skandinavíska menningu á Víkingaöld (um 793–1066 e.Kr.). Hins vegar er tónlist viðfangsefni sem oft virðist vanta í þessar umræður. Þessi ritgerð mun reyna að fylla það skarð með því að leggja fram tilgátu um endurgerð Skandinavískrar tónlistar frá Víkingaöld.

    Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.

  • Timeline - May 1940
    TIMELINE - MAY 1940 As the month begins the battle for Norway continues. Just to recap, German naval and ground forces had begun invading both Norway and Denmark on 9th April. Denmark had quickly capitulated but Norway had resisted. British forces were sent to Andalsnes on 18th April to 1st May, Namsos on 16th April to 3rd May, and Narvik from 15th April to 8th June. They were joined by Norwegian, French and Polish forces. But as May begins the evacuation of Allied troops from some of these areas is already underway and nearing completion. With the failure of the campaign for central Norway attention shifts to Narvik in the far north, strategically vital to the Germans for the shipping of iron ore from Sweden. 1 On 2nd May German troops reached Andalsnes, and on the following day Norwegian troops south of Trondheim surrendered to the Germans. The allied evacuation at Namsos was completed, but German aircraft located part of the evacuation fleet and sank the destroyers Afridi and Bison. The Bison was a French destroyer and she was the first to be sunk with the loss of 136 of her crew. The surviving crew were then picked up by the Afridi. But when that ship came under attack a further 35 of her crew were lost, along with 53 of the Afridi’s crew and 13 soldiers - the only casualties among the whole force of 12,000 troops evacuated from Åndalsnes and Namsos On 5th May the Battle of Hegra Fortress ended when the fortress capitulated. The Germans had now achieved complete victory on Norway’s southern front.

    “ART IS IN OUR HEART”: TRANSNATIONAL COMPLEXITIES OF ART PROJECTS AND NEOLIBERAL GOVERNMENTALITY _____________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _____________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________ By G.I Tinna Grétarsdóttir January, 2010 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Jay Ruby, Advisory Chair, Anthropology Dr. Raquel Romberg, Anthropology Dr. Paul Garrett, Anthropology Dr. Roderick Coover, External Member, Film and Media Arts, Temple University. i © Copyright 2010 by G.I Tinna Grétarsdóttir All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT “ART IS IN OUR HEART”: TRANSNATIONAL COMPLEXITIES OF ART PROJECTS AND NEOLIBERAL GOVERNMENTALITY By G.I Tinna Grétarsdóttir Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, January 2010 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Jay Ruby In this dissertation I argue that art projects are sites of interconnected social spaces where the work of transnational practices, neoliberal politics and identity construction take place. At the same time, art projects are “nodal points” that provide entry and linkages between communities across the Atlantic. In this study, based on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Canada and Iceland, I explore this argument by examining ethnic networking between Icelandic-Canadians and the Icelandic state, which adopted neoliberal economic policies between 1991 and 2008. The neoliberal restructuring in Iceland was manifested in the implementation of programs of privatization and deregulation. The tidal wave of free trade, market rationality and expansions across national borders required re-imagined, nationalized accounts of Icelandic identity and society and reconfigurations of the margins of the Icelandic state. Through programs and a range of technologies, discourses, and practices, the Icelandic state worked to create enterprising, empowered, and creative subjects appropriate to the neoliberal project.

    60TH ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE 24 APRIL 2015 #Eurovision60 The Eurovision Song Contest is not just a pop song competition: often, it is a musical manifestation of political and social issues of great significance. Melissa Scott ,, “New Europe, Center Stage - Orientalism and Nationalism in the Eurovision Song Contest”, Midway Review 2011 2 INTRODUCTION In 1956 the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) created the Eurovision Song Contest to foster closer ties between nations and to advance television technology. In 2015 the 60th Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Vienna. Over the past six decades the Eurovision Song Contest has created a European identity far beyond the confines of political unions and continental boundaries. The EBU is marking the event's 60th anniversary by celebrating not just the Contest’s musical achievements but also its impact on the European public sphere in areas such as forming national and European identities, embracing diversity and building cultural insight and understanding.

The EBU's mission is to safeguard the role of PSM and promote its indispensable contribution to society.
