From Colonialism to a Mixed Economy Conditions-, Meanings-, and Reasonings Analysis Societal Communication | Formidling > Web publication | Netpublikation Letters from Greenland Letters from Greenland was part of a series of 'letters' or updates about the COVID‐19 situation in the Nordic countries in 2020. Fellow authors were Andrew Newby (Finland), Peter de Souza (Sweden – works in Norway), Henrik Halkier (Denmark), Rebecca Stirzaker (Norway), Elisabeth Holm (Faroe Islands) and Ingibjorg Agustsdottir (Iceland). During the 'corona year' 2020 the updates were collected and shared regularly via the Facebook group Nordic Horizons. Nordic Horizons is an informal group of Scottish professionals who want to raise the standard of knowledge and debate about life and policy in the Nordic nations. The group facebook page has 2.900 followers and acts as a repository for information, presentations, digital media of the meetings of the group and posts of members.

This chapter discusses the combination of these factors ranging from natural‐resource transitions, historical legacies, and state developmental policies. It provides a general overview to understand the interplay of endogenous and exogenous factors that have influenced the historical evolution of the Greenlandic economy. Forfatter: Javier L.

Conditions‐, meanings‐ and reasoning analysis integrates societal and institutional structures in the conduct of everyday life of the citizens and in professional practice. The purpose of the analysis is to show the connections between institutional practice and the citizens’ everyday conduct of life with e.g. health problems, how the different practices influence each other, and what opportunities and challenges they include. By the use of examples from empirical research in patients’ perspectives on health practice in Greenland, it is shown how the method of analysis can be used on empirical material, what forms of knowledge and practice it analyses, and what kind of knowledge and action possibilities it generates.

This study evaluated empirically the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve in Greenland for the period 1970–2018. Using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, the results show evidence of a U‐shaped EKC in Greenland instead of the hypothesized inverted U‐shape. The findings indicate that Greenland had initially experienced a decoupling transition during an early development stage associated with structural conditions of a small subsistence economy. However, once the country began to expand its industry, the trend began to reverse, creating a positive and significant relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita that are potentially detrimental to the Arctic natural environment.

The lockdown effectively took out all public social support and food supply for people experiencing homelessness in the capital Nuuk. This woke up Greenland’s social conscience in the form of a local NGO’s mobilization of voluntary social helpers. Luckily nobody in the homeless environment got infected and suffered needlessly. From a social policy perspective, we can take three experiences away from the pandemic. Firstly, a clear learning experience from this crisis was the need to redefine the broad societal understanding of Greenland a country with a universal welfare system. The second experience was that social work comes in many shapes and forms. Finally, the experience illustrated what could take place when the political and administrative system are too slow to react in times of crisis. It kickstarted the civil society step up and help fellow citizens. In the end NGO’s need to reports back and inform the public system to ensure better social emergency response in the future.

I argue that media policy reflects changes in Greenland’s political system. Specifically, under colonial rule, Greenlandic media was state run and media was seen as an instrument to educate the population. Gradually, with the introduction of home rule, a paradigm shift took place, whereby media was seen as a vital instrument to strengthen Greenlandic language and identity. At the same time, normative ideas of media independence appeared which called for institutionalisation of the arm’s length principle. Due to the influence and institutional spill‐over from Denmark, I argue, Greenlandic media policy fit rather well into the “Nordic media model” although media policy in Greenland is mostly formulated without long‐term or broad political agreements.

  • The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship Between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750
    The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750 by Peter Henric Johnsson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Peter Johnsson « Year of Convocation» The Dying Gaul Peter Johnsson Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines the interrelation between concepts of masculinity among the laity and the clergy in the Merovingian era of Gaul, fifth to seventh centuries. In doing so, the work aims to fill a gap in current scholarship by examining the relationship between religious men and lay men, rather than as separate groups, which has often been the trend to date. The focus is on specific sites of difference where masculine ideals came into conflict. Beginning with a brief examination of the transmission of classical neo-platonic ideals into the culture of the ecclesiastical aristocracy of the fifth century, I will provide a background for the religious masculinity against which the lay examples are framed. The study then moves on to the contrasting ideals surrounding hair, using a methodological framework of contrasting masculinities to demonstrate that the long hair of the Franks and the tonsuring of the clergy both reflected antithetical representations of each others’ masculinities. Chapter four examines the relationship between feasting and fasting culture among the laity and the clergy, as the participation in, and rejection of imbibing served to distinguish both groups of men through contrasting ideals. The following chapter examines the role that sexual conduct played in notions of honour particularly in the laity.

    Seeing Icebergs and Inuit as Elemental Nature: An American Transcendentalist on and off the Coast of Labrador, 1864 J. I. LITTLE* In 1865 a series of Atlantic Monthly articles written by the Transcendentalist minister David Atwood Wasson described the voyage to Labrador organized by American landscape painter William Bradford. Bradford was inspired by the success of fellow Hudson River school artist Frederic Edwin Church’s monumental painting, The Icebergs (1861), and Wasson’s role was to generate publicity for what would be Bradford’s own “great picture,” Sealers Crushed by Icebergs. Wasson produced many colourful descriptions of the icebergs encountered on the voyage, but he also depicted the Labrador shorescape as the planet earth at the dawn of time and the Inuit of Hopedale as unevolved, pre-adamic man. This article suggests that Wasson’s racism and rejection of the benign, mystical Nature of first-generation Transcendentalists Thoreau and Emerson reflects the rise of evolutionary theory and the cultural impact of the American Civil War. En 1865, l’Atlantic Monthly décrivait, dans une série d’articles parus sous la plume du ministre transcendentaliste David Atwood Wasson, le voyage au Labrador organisé par William Bradford, un peintre de paysages américain. Ce dernier était inspiré par le succès de The Icebergs (1861), peinture monumentale d’un confrère de l’école de l’Hudson, l’artiste Frederic Edwin Church, et Wasson avait pour rôle de susciter de la publicité autour de ce qui allait être la propre « grande œuvre picturale » de Bradford, Sealers Crushed by Icebergs. Wasson a produit de nombreuses descriptions pittoresques des icebergs rencontrés en cours de route, mais il a aussi dépeint le paysage côtier du Labrador comme s’il s’agissait de la Terre au début des temps et l’Inuit de Hopedale comme s’il était une race non évolué, antérieur à Adam.

  • Imaginations of National Identity and the North1
    INTRODUCTION Imaginations of National Identity and the North1 Sumarliði R. Ísleifsson The Reykjavík Academy (Iceland) Jón Ólafsson (1593–1679) is known in Iceland as Indíafari, or the Traveller to India.2 In his autobiography, he gives a recount of a visit with his Icelandic companions to a restaurant in Copenhagen, where he lived as a young man. He describes the visit thus: One chattering fellow, a master mason, sat up there with the others, and declared that he could describe the manners and customs in many countries, among which were the inhabitants of Iceland, who cut a poor figure in his text and its clumsy 1. Translated from Icelandic by Brynhildur Heiðar- og Ómarsdóttir. 2. Jón Ólafsson joined the Danish navy at a young age and sailed all around the world, including eastern Asia. After just over a decade abroad he moved back to Iceland. He wrote his autobiography in his old age. Sumarliði R. Ísleifsson, “Imaginations of National Identity and the North,” in Iceland and Images of the North, ed. Sumarliði R.

ICELAND AND IMAGES OF THE NORTH interpretation. But his hearers were readily hoodwinked and admired his talk. He was flattered and added to his stories until there was great mirth and no mourning up at the table. I asked Einar [Jón’s friend] how long he could suffer the like. He said one must often hear such things about Iceland. I asked him if I could count on him, in case of need […] I stood right in front of the middle of the table and addressed the fellow who had spoken so contemptuously about this country, and had wound up by saying that its inhabitants could not be human beings, but rather the most contemptible beasts.
