  • Final Syllabus the European Game
    Final Syllabus THE EUROPEAN GAME OF POLITICS: CRISIS AND SURVIVAL Spring 2017 Copenhagen 3 Credits Study Tours: Western Denmark, Northern Germany | Brussels Disciplines: Political Science, International Relations, Political Economy Instructors: Kristian Weise and Rune Riisbjerg Thomsen Program Director: Neringa Vendelbo Program Assistant: Alex Berlin Meeting Time: Monday/Thursday, 8:30 – 9:50 am Meeting Location: ST3-21 The European integration has been one of the most decisive developments since the Second World War. Europe was destroyed and the main question was how to avoid a new war in Europe in light of the Cold War. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 Europe has experienced a remarkable transformation with significant consequences for the region’s most important international organization, the European Union. Externally, the EU has slowly been emerging as a major player on the world scene, while internally the system attempts to strike a balance between continued enlargement and further political integration. However, lately the European Union and the European cooperation are facing its most serious crisis with Brexit, the so-called refugee crisis, as well as the aftermath of the financial crisis and challenges in relation to the Euro. What is the European Union, what are its policies and what is it developing into? What are the forces shaping Europe’s future? Who are the major actors? Will the European Union survive the present crisis? This course examines these question, with a particular emphasis on the economic dimension, to understand the EU, its crises and future. Instructors Kristian Weise Kristian Weise is Director of the Danish think tank Cevea.

  • Another Globality of Sport: Towards a Differential Phenomenology of Play and Laughter
    Published in: EAST – East Asian Sports Thoughts, Taiwan, vol. 3 (2013) 115-137. Another globality of sport: Towards a differential phenomenology of play and laughter Henning Eichberg, University of Southern Denmark Abstract1 Traditional games have reappeared in Denmark since the 1980s. As “Inuit games”, the popular body cultures of the Eskimo play an important role for the rising nations of Greenland and of Nunavut (Canada). And UNESCO has turned international attention to traditional games as well. Another globality of body culture – different from Olympic sport of achievement – appears at the horizon. The reappearance of old games as new games in Denmark raises questions about the place of play in modern body culture. And it questions the established ways of studying play and game – the phenomenology of play. Phenomenology of play has so far mainly been organized around two assumptions. Thesis: All is play. Play serves as a comprehensive term for all that is creative and full of pleasure – a monistic phenomenology of play. This tends to romanticism and idealization. Antithesis: Play is the other. Play contrasts the boredom of everyday-life. The history of play is a history of disappearance. Nowadays, only children and exotic ”nature peoples” are still playing. Play versus non-play – this constitutes a dichotomic phenomenology. It has undertones of backward cultural criticism. However, there are many different ways of play. Languages discern between play and game, in Danish between leg and spil, and the philosopher Roger Caillois pointed to the difference between paidia and ludus. Further typologies and classifications show the wealth of human play cultures.

The game was developed and validated under the auspices of the EU-funded project EnerGAware-Energy Game for Awareness of energy efficiency in social housing communities in an affordable housing pilot located in Plymouth (United Kingdom). The results showed that the future exploitation of the game holds important energy- and emissions- saving potential. Assuming that the game is distributed freely by European energy providers to their domestic end-users, the game was found to be able to save more than 48.9 secondary terawatt-hours per year (TWhs) and 18.8 million tons of CO2e annually, contributing up to around 8% to the target set for the European buildings sector to keep global warming under 2 ◦C. The results also showed that the game is highly feasible from the energy point of view, even when we consider the energy consumed upstream, due to its low cumulative energy demand and its potential for household Citation: Gangolells, M.; Casals, M.; energy reduction.
