THE NEW VIKINGS WILL BRING TO LIFE THE SAGA OF HOW THE SCANDINAVIAN VIKINGS But what was life like for the ancient Vikings as they crossed the Atlantic? How were relationships built and lost, CROSSED THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE challenges met and overcome? This extraordinary documentary series offers a revealing look into the ancient Viking crossings, by enlisting the help of Viking descendants to mount a real expedition across the Atlantic AMERICAS, LONG BEFORE COLUMBUS. Ocean. We will carefully select a group Viking descendants from the Scandinavian countries, United Kingdom and North America – place them in a world set 10 centuries back in time – and watch how ancient history comes alive, as they walk in the footsteps of their predecessors from centuries ago.... At the close of an intensive training period, 8 new Vikings will be selected to make a historical journey. Only the best prepared (mentally and physically) will board an original replica of an ocean-going Viking ship, to begin a 2,600 mile odyssey across the drift-ice and stormy seas of the North Atlantic Ocean. Duration: 5 one-hour episodes An adventurous journey set in magnificent natural environments, with recreated sets and special visual effects (or 10 half-hour episodes) - all this will make The New Vikings an unbeatable television event for a worldwide audience! Format: HDV THE VIKING ERA Few periods in the history of mankind are more fascinating than the era of the warlike Vikings, who dominated the maritime regions of Northern Europe in the Viking Age. The Vikings had a reputation as savage warriors, but they were also magnificent The Vikings did not stay long in North America, but the story of their arrival craftsmen, traders and seafarers. One of them, the legendary Viking explorer and contact with native Americans is a remarkable saga. It is this journey to Eric the Red, found an ice-rimmed coast in 982, which he explored for several Iceland and then onto Newfoundland that our New Vikings will trace, finding a years before returning to Iceland, reporting this new place to be a “good land”. connection with the spirit of these grand explorers from more than a thousand With the hope of luring settlers, he named his discovery “Greenland.” In the year years ago. 1000 An incredible 492 years before Columbus’ grand journey into the Carib- bean - Eric´s son, “Leif Ericson”, set out from his father’s colony in Greenland and became the first European to discover and explore North America.

He has been cap- tain on a 36 feet sailing boat, sailing from Trinidad to Denmark, and in 1996, he participated in an extremely daring expedition, sailing a traditional Polynesian canoe all the way from Denmark to Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean! Esben Jessen has been Captain on the Viking-ship Ottar, since her maiden voy- age in the year 2000. Navigator Lena Borjesson (50) from Sweden - is one of the worlds leading experts within the field of traditional navigation. She has more than 30 years of sailing experience and has been captain herself on several daring sailing ex- peditions in the North Atlantic. In addition to her career as a respected scholar and scientific researcher, she is also a teacher at Fosen Folkehøjskole in Nor- way, where she teaches different subjects including navigation, seamanship, outdoor coastal life and meteorology. Assistant Navigator Kristian Weihe (33) from Norway, is a certified Ma- rine engineer, and an experienced navigator in the Royal Norwegian Navy. Kristian Weihe is also fully capable of sailing a Viking ship. He has a masters certificate from the Royal navy, and has been sailing traditional boats in Nor- way since his early childhood. In the past years Captain Jessen and his navigators have been carrying out a Captain Jessen and his number of extraordinary experiments. crew are confident that In 2005 they succeeded in sailing Ottar to Edinburgh in Scotland, without any they will make it all the use of modern technology.

In 2006, Captain Jessen and his crew took the navigational experiments one step further, as they sailed all the way from Bergen in Norway, to the Farao Islands and back to Norway without any type of instruments at all. They simply followed the sailing directions as described in the Icelandic sagas. Sailing an exact replica of a Viking-ship across the drift-ice and stormy seas of the North Atlantic Ocean, without any help of modern technology, will be the ultimate challenge and a dream come true for our captain and his crew. If they succeed in making this journey it will be the first time in history since the Vikings discovered America, and no less than a world sensation! 4 THE VIKING TRAINEES Our Viking trainees may be from rural Manitoba in Canada, or the city centre of Stockholm, or maybe even from Hollywood, California, but all of them can trace their heritage back to the Vikings.

  • Chastity in a West Papuan City: Durkheim's 'Ideal' and Sexual Virtue
    Pre-marital chastity in a West Papuan city: Durkheim’s ‘ideal’ and sexual virtue. Sarah Louise Richards Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2016 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper This thesis is dedicated to Darius, Benson and Paskalina b Abstract This thesis engages critically with Durkheim¹s ideas of morality in an ethnographic exploration of the reasons young women in Manokwari (West Papua, Indonesia) choose to maintain chastity prior to marriage. Based on 27 months of fieldwork with an urban, Christian, coastal community, I examine their sexual conformity through the motivating force of three emotions – love, fear and hope. Young women wanted to delay their sexual debut so as to not hurt or disappoint their beloved mothers and because they feared being beaten by kin and suffering other forms of violence that sanctioned sexual transgressions. Since pregnancy is understood to lead to school drop-out and forced marriage, hope for a future characterised by secure employment and a harmonious marriage is also a rationale for chastity. These affective logics are explored in the context of cultural constructions of sexual morality at a time of rapid socio-economic change, immoral threats and revitalised enthusiasms for being Christian, and being Papuan. My finding that sentiment structures processes of young women’s moral reasoning and chaste practice supports Durkheim’s contention that ideals – moral standards that are above and beyond individuals – are emotionally based constructs of sacred power. This ethnography thus contributes to recent anthropological discussions that conceptualise morality and ethics as a realm where actors evaluate, select and enact a range of moral options in order to fashion themselves as ethical subjects.

    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)
