Perhaps this project began while I was a student in Aarhus and was encouraged by Professor Ton Otto to pursue my profound interest in visual anthropology methodologies. Or perhaps it began when, together with Greenlandic and Danish colleagues at SILA – the Arctic Research Centre at the National Museum of Denmark – I discovered a dusty pile of metal cans containing celluloid films by the young Danish photographer and film maker Jette Bang and realized that these recordings – with outstanding documentation of early industrial developments in Greenland – had never been screened to a Greenlandic audience. I am indebted to everybody who inspired me during these initial stages. Also, I want to thank the Greenlandic Research Council and the Danish Research Council, which granted the scholarship that made this research possible and ‘Fonden til forskningsfremme’ for sponsoring the common fieldwork of BA student Niviaq Samuelsen and myself, in which she also served as an interpreter and translator in the Greenlandic-language interviews. The museum staff in both Qasigiannguit and Sisimiut participated enthusiastically during the initial stages of this project, thus confirming the relevance of returning Jette Bang’s films and conducting this research project. I am indebted to them and to colleagues at the museums in Ilulissat and Qeqertarsuaq and at the National Museum in Nuuk, as I am to all my other informants, including my three interpreters, who also include Jakob Fly and Sophie Andersen, and who gave me and my project so much attention, care, time, coffee and good company. I extend my gratitude to my supervisors, Birgit Kleist Pedersen at Ilisimatuarfik and Kirsten Thisted at the University of Copenhagen, for not only acting in a professional capacity but also generously sharing both friendships and professional networks. My colleagues at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies have provided a supportive and inspiring base, and the process would not have been the same without the always lovely company of Christine Aster Crone and my productive collaboration with Ann-Sofie Nielsen Gremaud. She, Kirsten and other colleagues in the research network ‘Denmark and the New North Atlantic’ widened my Northern and Arctic horizons from the earliest stages of this project. 5 My colleagues at the National Museum of Denmark, Modern History and World Cultures, not least Christian Sune Pedersen and all the Arctic researchers on the second floor, deserve special thanks for always being helpful, inspiring, thought-provoking – and truly outstanding company. I also want to thank the research network at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in particular Sverker Sörlin, Dag Avango and Peder Roberts, for including me in the Centre of Excellence for Resources, Extractive Industries and Sustainable Arctic Communities (REXSAC) and funding a post-doc position that I very much look forward to. I am deeply indebted to Ton Otto who provided dedicated supervision out of sheer veneration and to Christine Aster Crone and Martin Appelt for valuable readings and comments on my writing, to Bjarne Grønnow for the fine maps, to Einar Lund Jensen for Greenlandic transcriptions and to Dorte H. Silver and Brynhildur Boyce for English proofreading. I want to acknowledge that the encouragement of three men has meant a great deal for my belief in the rather uneven roads that my career has taken: Ton Otto, Martin Appelt and my husband, Peter Randrup. Without your enthusiasm and support - in different ways and at different points in time - I had never embarked on this PhD project. Finally, I want to thank my family, not least my mother Kirsten and my mother-in-law Birthe, for always being there, and Halfdan, Frida and Peter for all your patience and love. Anonymization of informants The names of all informants have been changed in the writing and I have named some by their profession in order to anonymize people’s identities, albeit this is only possible at a certain level (cf. Chapter 4). I have not substituted names of politicians and other public figures. Images and copyrights Copyrights to all images (except image 3, 4 and 5) in the dissertation belong to me. They are all photographs of objects and photographs on the walls, albums and smartphones of my informants that I took as a part of my data collecting. Image 3, 4 and 5 are screenshots from Jette Bang’s films and free of copyrights. The maps in chapter 2 are copyrighted to Bjarne Grønnow, National Museum of Denmark. 6 Abstract This thesis deals with personal and collective memories of industrialization in the Disko Bay area in Greenland, focusing on how people remember their local agency during these seminal transitional years. After the introduction of Self-Government in 2009, the young, postcolonial nation is currently revisiting its written history, reorienting its collective memories and reinterpreting its cultural heritage. Managing the role of the past in the present is central to cultural identifications in the current and continual debates about a future characterized by cultural autonomy and, ultimately, independence. The main argument in this dissertation is that whereas the theme of industrialization is often associated with a discourse of Greenlanders as victims of development, the memories of people who worked with the natural resources in the mining and the fishing industries offer alternative and pivotal narratives that often contain the emotion of pride and a sense of strong personal agency. These personal memories have not been inscribed in history books or museum exhibitions, they have not entered the archives, and their absence remains a problem for historical self-knowledge. Further, the dissertation argues that personal and collective memory practices enter dynamic and complex relations, and that emotions are crucial in these processes. Over time, emotional memory practices may have the capacity to transform even ‘soft’ agency in personal memories into strong, potentially political agency for change.

    Et barn er laget av hundre. Barnet har hundre språk hundre hender hundre tanker hundre måter å tenke på å leke og å snakke på hundre alltid hundre måter å lytte å undres, å synes om hundre lyster å synge og forstå hundre verdener å oppdage hundre verdener å oppfinne hundre verdener å drømme frem. Kreativitet og Glede Setter Spor Kreativitet og Glede Setter Spor Innledning Hvert år velger personalet ut en ny kunstner som skal gi barn og voksne inspirasjon til det videre prosjektarbeidet for året. Våre kriterier for å velge ut kunstner er: - Kunstneren skal være internasjonalt kjent. - Kunstneren skal ha en filosofi og kunst som er i tråd med barnehagens verdigrunnlag. - Kunstverkene skal provosere, inspirere og gi nye innfallsvinkler til prosjekttema. - Kunstneren skal ha variasjon i uttrykk og materiale. - Kunstuttrykkene skal tiltale barna og være mulig for dem å jobbe videre med. Personalet gjennomgår bilder, aktiviteter og innspill fra barna i året som har vært. Ut i fra dette reflekterer vi sammen over veien videre. Vi ser da etter; - Materiale som har inspirert barna. - Materiale vi har jobbet lite med eller har lite kjennskap til og som vi trenger å bli bedre kjent med. - Materiale som inspirerer personalet. Innimellom ber vi foreldre om innspill og hjelp til å finne aktuelle kunstnere. Dette skjer vanligvis ved skifte av 3-årig tema. 1 Kreativitet og Glede Setter Spor Ernesto Neto Bakgrunn Ernesto Neto er en brasiliansk konspetuell kunstner. Han er født i 1964 i Rio de Janerio hvor han fortsatt bor og jobber. Sin første utstilling hadde han i 2011 i Museo de Arte Contermoraneo de Monterry i Mexico.

Word count: 28948 Charlotte Van Hulle Student number: 01504426 Supervisor(s): Prof. Dr. Mick Deneckere A dissertation submitted to Ghent University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Oriental Languages and Cultures–Japanese Language and Culture. Academic year: 2019–2020 PREAMBLE CONCERNING COVID-19 Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020, it should be kept in mind that the research conducted for the purpose of this thesis could not take place as originally intended. The outbreak of the pandemic had direct consequences for the process of completing this master’s thesis—at the time when I began my research, I resided in Finland as a student at the University of Helsinki. A significant part of this thesis relied on the access to source material, as well as access to translation by native speakers of Finnish and Swedish, that this location provided. However, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, I was unable to stay in Finland, and saw myself forced to leave the country. Before the borders closed, I flew out to Sweden, to be with my partner and family-in-law during this crisis. I was, overall, among those fortunate enough to be able to move ahead with their research throughout the pandemic. That is, no field work was conducted for the purpose of this thesis’ argument, meaning that closed borders and national lockdowns had no bearing on my research as such.

  • Structure, Network, Discourse Anatomy of an Artists Association
    Structure, Network, Discourse Anatomy of an Artists Association Maximilian Kaiser With its program the Hagenbund helped to shape Vienna’s cultural life for nearly forty years. In that time the artists union averaged between twenty-two and seventy-one regular members (fig. 1) – as compared with the Künstlerhaus and the Secession, a rather manageable number. In its strategic orientation, however, the Hagenbund clearly differed from the other associations, since it placed more importance on its corresponding members who did not live in Vienna. They provided the basis for contacts with other artists and artists groups and thus brought outside stimuli to Vienna. Having the Zedlitzhalle as an exhibition space made it possible for the union to design an indepen- dent program. This is ultimately what lent the Hagenbund its rank and position among the three major Viennese art organizations. Moreover, it also served as the cornerstone for a system of ex- changes with which the group could engage in exhibitions on a national and international level, and many of its guests became corresponding members after participating in its shows. Artists groups invited to Vienna made it possible for the Hagenbund to present itself in their home cities in return. The union essentially supported itself with the entrance fees paid by exhibition visitors, public sub- sidies, donations from private individuals, members’ annual dues, and a percentage of the sale prices of works of art. Its economic survival was ultimately dependent in large part on its program and its variety. Against this background, and because of the complexity of the subject, a study using the network analysis method suggested itself as a way of obtaining an understanding of the mechanisms at work behind this system.1 Art-historical Network Analysis Simply put, a network describes the social relationships between people.
