  • Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic
    Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic Lara M. Hogg This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of History, Archaeology and Religion. Cardiff University. 2015 SUMMARY It is a well-established fact that all human societies have coexisted with and are dependent upon animals and it is increasingly recognized that the study of human-animal relationships provides vital insights into past human societies. Still this is yet to be widely embraced in archaeology. This thesis has examined human-animal interdependencies to explore the social identities and structure of society in the Norse North Atlantic. Benefitting from recent research advances in animal studies and the ever increasing volume of archaeological reports from Norse period archaeological excavations the North Atlantic this thesis was able to develop previous scholarship and define directions for future research. The thesis explored the role of animals in human society in the North Atlantic to reveal the complex Norse societies that existed. It revealed through human interdependencies with animals that these societies were far from homogeneous and had their own distinct identities with the individual islands as well as across the North Atlantic. The thesis achieved this by examining several important discrete but interlinked themes. These themes were divided into four chapters that focused on the individual aspects. This included an examination of previous North Atlantic Viking Age scholarship, consideration of human construction and perception of landscape through archaeological excavations, investigation of the role of domestic animals in human social activities, and an exploration of the role of domesticated animals in beliefs.

The threat of aquatic invasive species in particular can be difficult to detect, and climate change may facilitate the spread and establishment of new species. In 2003, the European brown shrimp Crangon crangon L. was discovered off the southwest coast of Iceland. This species is a concern for Iceland due to the combination of its dominance in coastal communities and level of predation on juvenile flatfish, namely plaice Pleuronectes platessa L., observed in its native range.

PUB DATE Nov 93 NOTE 15p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (79th, Miami Beach, FL, November 18-21, 1993). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Information Analyses (070) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; Cross Cultural Studies; *Cultural Context; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Literature Reviews; *Mass Media Effects; Mass Media Use; Research Methodology; *Research Problems; *Television Research; *Television Viewing IDENTIFIERS Iceland; Minnesota; Quebec ABSTRACT Comparison of data gathened in the late 1970s to deta gathered in the early 1990s indicates that while communication researchers remain convinced that effects of intercultural mass media exist, they also.acknowledge that no clear, useful theoretical framework exists. Data were analyzed, compared, and reported in the late 1970s from three sites--Iceland, northern Minnesota, and Quebec. Data were gathered concerning television viewing habits, source of television broadcasts (from Canada, the United States, Iceland), or no television at all and the perceived effects of television viewing. Comparison of these studies indicated that:(1) even using the same measures, different cultural settings resulted in different outcomes; (2) the effects of media, interpersonal, and sociolinguistic variables were not uniform for different categories of dependent variables; and (3) changes in attitudes, agendas, and information levels had complex causes with many contributing factors. Comparisons of these studies to those done in the early 1990s indicated that not much had changed.

  • DISSENTING OPINION of JUDGE PETRÉN [Translation ] to My Regret, 1 Have Felt Obliged to Vote Against the Judgment and to Append This Dissenting Opinion
    DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE PETRÉN [Translation ] To my regret, 1 have felt obliged to vote against the Judgment and to append this dissenting opinion. The main reason why L felt unable to vote for the Judgment lay in the broad constructiori placed by the Court on the agreement concluded between the Parties by their 1961 Exchange of Notes, which constitutes the sole basis of the Court's jurisdiction to deal with the present case. In that respect 1, like my colleague Judge Ignacio-Pinto, share the view expressed by our colleagues Judges Gros and Onyeama in their dissenting opinions, to which 1 may therefore refer the reader. 1 need here Say no more than that the only question upon which the 1961 agreement entitles the Court to adjudikate is whether a measure whereby Iceland extends its zone of exclusive fisheries jurisdiction beyond a distance of 12 nautical miles froni the bas~clinesof its territorial waters is well founded in inter- national law. Certain passages of the Judgment appear to partake of the notion that the disputed extension by lceland of its fishery zone from the 12-mile to the 50-rnile limit is without foundation in international law. Thus paragraph 53 of the Judgment, after alluding to the contemporary tendencies of a nunlber of States to extend their fishery zones beyond the 12-mile limit, concludes by observing that "the Court, as a court of law, cannot render judgment sub sperie Iegis,ferendae, or anticipate the law before the legislator has laid it down". Paragraph 67 reflects the same attitude even more iclearly, for it States that "lceland's unilateral action .
