  • 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.

  • Religion Education in Norway: Tension Or Harmony Between Human Rights and Christian Cultural Heritage?
    Religion Education in Norway: Tension or Harmony between Human Rights and Christian Cultural Heritage? BENGT-OVE ANDREASSEN University of Tromsø Abstract Both research and public and scholarly debate on religious education (RE) in Norway have mostly revolved around the subject in primary and secondary school called Christianity, Religion and Ethics (KRL) (later renamed Religion, Philosophies of Life and Ethics, RLE), not least due to the criticisms raised by the UN’s Human Rights Com- mittee in 2004 and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2007 of the Norwegian model for RE in primary and secondary schools. The RE subject in upper secondary school, however, is hardly ever mentioned. The same applies to teacher education. This article therefore aims at providing some insight into how RE has developed in the Norwegian educational system overall, ranging from primary and secondary to upper secondary and including the different forms of teacher education. Keywords: religious education, teacher education, educational system, human rights, Norway Historical Background The development of religious education (RE) in Norway can be described in three main perspectives which link with historical periods: firstly, the Chris- tian education policy in the period from 1736 (when confirmation was made obligatory for all people) to 1860; secondly, the gradual secularisation of the school from 1860, as new subjects supplemented and challenged Christian- ity as the main curricular focus in schools, to 1969, when a new Education Act stated that RE should no longer should be confessionally rooted in Christianity. The period of religious instruction in Norwegian schools was then formally over, and ‘separative religious education’, in what has been © The Finnish Society for the Study of Religion Temenos Vol.

  • Arealbruk, Dugnader Og Klima Årsmelding for 2017
    Medlemsblad for Naturvernforbundet i Bærum Nr 1/ 2018 – utgitt i februar Arealbruk, dugnader og klima Årsmelding for 2017 Les også om: Jubileum for vern av Invitasjon til årsmøte Utbygging på tvers Klimastrategi Kolsås-Dælivannområdet Ringeriksbanen MHH BPBR BPBR side 23 side 3 side 6 side 8 side 11 Arealstrategien – naturmangfold, matproduksjon og nedbygging Nytt år er oppsummeringens tid med årsmeldingen som fast innhold i det første nummeret av Nøttekråka. En kort evaluering av arealsakene NiB har jobbet med gjennom året, er at vi har en økende mengde saker som angår omdisponering av førsteklasses dyrkbar matjord og grønne ”ubrukte” områder til boligutbygging. Nedbyggingen av Bærums grønne verdier er ofte omtalt som bit-for- bit nedbygging og effekten er ytterligere redusert jordbrukskapasitet og tap av natur- og opple- velsesverdier. Typiske trekk for bit-for-bit nedbyggingen, er at reguleringsforslagene ikke følger kommunens vedtatte arealplanstrategi og er ofte småskalapreget boligutbygging. Eksempler på slike saker i 2017 er Staversletta på Tanum- platået, Berghoff – Berger gård og Jarenlia ved Skui/Kveise og Østre Jong/Bjørnegård. Arealstrategien som er vedtatt av kommunen er helt tydelig på at boligutbygging skal konsentreres rundt tettsteder og kollektivknutepunkt. Vedtatte hovedutbyggingsretninger er Fornebu, Bekkestua – Høvik og Sandvika. Formålet med å konsentrere boligutbyggingen er tettsteds- og byutvikling, og klimagevinster. Planen er også tydelig på at jord- bruksareal som befinner seg utenfor utbyggingsretningene ikke skal røres. Men tallenes tydelige tale viser at minst 17 % (2015 tall) av boligutbyggingen i Bærum kommune ikke er i tråd med arealstrategien. NiB mener dette er for mye og at trenden må snu. Budskapet og interessen for dette tema kom også tydelig frem i NiBs Åpnet møte i oktober med tema ”Arealplanlegging i kommunen – vinner eller taper natur- og kulturlandskapet? Svaret på spørsmålet var ikke entydig.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

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.
