Oppgaven er delt i to hoveddeler: en analyse av tv-programmet Antiques Roadshow (BBC) fulgt av en museologisk drøfting av programmets virkemidler. Analysematerialet består av to feltstudier ved innspilling av Antiques Roadshow i Skottland og av programmet Antikrundan i Sverige. Hovedvekten legges på besøket til Skottland, og oppgaven går derfor dypt inn i skotsk kontekst. Drøftingen identifiserer tre hovedtemaer som går igjen i programmets virkemidler: steder, gjenstander og formidling. Gjennom analyse av disse virkemidlene gjøres det et forsøk på å identifisere programmets stil, og slik blir formidling via nye medier blir satt i sammenheng med tradisjonell museumsformidling. Oppgaven vil bidra til en ny forståelse av gjenstandsbasert historieformidling på museum i ett nytt, digitalt medielandskap. V VI Figur 1 "There will be no miracles here" av den skotske kunstneren Nathan Coley. Skulpturen var plassert utenfor The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art under innspillingen av Antiques Roadshow på samme sted, sommeren 2013. VII Forord Takk til veileder Arne Bugge Amundsen for gode innspill underveis i arbeidet med oppgaven.

Hamsa: Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies 4 (2017- March 2018): 33-45 A ketubbá, in Portuguese, from the Jews of Lisbon (15th century) Filomena Barros Universidade de Évora /CIDEHUS [email protected] Resumo: No último quartel do séc. XV, uma ketubbá foi escrita em português, por Yuda Barceloní, o tabelião da comuna judaica de Lisboa. Celebrava, não apenas o contrato pré-nupcial, mas também o casamento entre Josepe Crespim e Rica, mulher viúva. Esta forma original de escrever ketubbot, deriva da normativa régia de controlo do tabelionado. As minorias judaica e muçulmana foram proibidas de usar os seus códigos linguísticos nos documentos notariais. Embora se trate do único documento desta tipologia, até agora conhecido, numa língua romance, alguns elementos, nomeadamente a estrutura, coincidem com as demais ketubbot. Outros, contudo, delas diferem, na expressão do direito consuetudinário da comuna de Lisboa (minhagim), que molda a sua identidade própria.
