Allt frá upphafi ráðstefnunnar árið 1994 hefur markmið hennar verið að gefa fræðafólki kost á að kynna rannsóknir sínar og hugsmíðar og skapa vettvang fyrir fræðilega umræðu en ekki síst að efna til samræðna við almenning. Útgáfa ráðstefnurits hefur frá upphafi verið á vegum Félagsvísindastofnunar Háskóla Íslands en síðustu tvö ár hefur stofnunin haldið alfarið utan um undirbúning og framkvæmd ráðstefnunar. Þær breytingar hafa orðið á yfirstjórn Félagsvísinda- stofnunar frá fyrra ári að Magnús Árni Magnússon, forstöðumaður hennar, hvarf til annarra starfa en við tók Guðbjörg Andrea Jónsdóttir og er hún boðin velkomin til starfa. Í ár eru gerðar tvær veigamiklar breytingar á útgáfu ráðstefnurits Þjóðarspegilsins. Í fyrsta lagi var boðið upp á ritrýningu greina og er óhætt að segja að það hafi mælst vel fyrir.

  • Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic
    Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic Lara M. Hogg This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of History, Archaeology and Religion. Cardiff University. 2015 SUMMARY It is a well-established fact that all human societies have coexisted with and are dependent upon animals and it is increasingly recognized that the study of human-animal relationships provides vital insights into past human societies. Still this is yet to be widely embraced in archaeology. This thesis has examined human-animal interdependencies to explore the social identities and structure of society in the Norse North Atlantic. Benefitting from recent research advances in animal studies and the ever increasing volume of archaeological reports from Norse period archaeological excavations the North Atlantic this thesis was able to develop previous scholarship and define directions for future research. The thesis explored the role of animals in human society in the North Atlantic to reveal the complex Norse societies that existed. It revealed through human interdependencies with animals that these societies were far from homogeneous and had their own distinct identities with the individual islands as well as across the North Atlantic. The thesis achieved this by examining several important discrete but interlinked themes. These themes were divided into four chapters that focused on the individual aspects. This included an examination of previous North Atlantic Viking Age scholarship, consideration of human construction and perception of landscape through archaeological excavations, investigation of the role of domestic animals in human social activities, and an exploration of the role of domesticated animals in beliefs.

PUB DATE Nov 93 NOTE 15p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (79th, Miami Beach, FL, November 18-21, 1993). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Information Analyses (070) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; Cross Cultural Studies; *Cultural Context; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Literature Reviews; *Mass Media Effects; Mass Media Use; Research Methodology; *Research Problems; *Television Research; *Television Viewing IDENTIFIERS Iceland; Minnesota; Quebec ABSTRACT Comparison of data gathened in the late 1970s to deta gathered in the early 1990s indicates that while communication researchers remain convinced that effects of intercultural mass media exist, they also.acknowledge that no clear, useful theoretical framework exists. Data were analyzed, compared, and reported in the late 1970s from three sites--Iceland, northern Minnesota, and Quebec. Data were gathered concerning television viewing habits, source of television broadcasts (from Canada, the United States, Iceland), or no television at all and the perceived effects of television viewing. Comparison of these studies indicated that:(1) even using the same measures, different cultural settings resulted in different outcomes; (2) the effects of media, interpersonal, and sociolinguistic variables were not uniform for different categories of dependent variables; and (3) changes in attitudes, agendas, and information levels had complex causes with many contributing factors. Comparisons of these studies to those done in the early 1990s indicated that not much had changed.

  • The Power Within Music: Human Rights in the Context
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK / DANISH INSTITUTE FORE HUMAN RIGHTS European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2016/2017 THE POWER WITHIN MUSIC Human Rights in the Context of Music Author: Sara Soltani Supervisor: Dr. Eva Maria Lassen Abstract 'Music has an elaborate history in human civilization' (Washington/Beecher 2010: 129) by providing one of humanity's most essential cultural expressions and being instrumentalized in diverse ways. The power of music to mobilize people through propaganda, express rights claims through protest songs or simply define one's cultural identity has been examined in various disciplines. Yet, music as a research subject in the field of human rights is still in its infancy. This thesis analyses the field of music through four human rights perspectives. The first perspective focuses on the instrumentalisation of music in order to promote human rights. The case study of the East-Western Divan Orchestra shows an example of a musical sphere where musicians from Palestine, Israel, Iran, etc. meet in respect of the principle of non-discrimination and equal treatment. The second perspective presents the inherent role of music in the field of cultural rights. Within this context the Austrian association United Heartbeat has served as a case study. This case study can be relevant for the human rights discourse on two levels. Firstly, the association gives people, who were forced to leave behind almost every cultural right, part of their cultural identity back. This access to music does secondly, not only give them the right to participate in their 'own' cultural life but also in the culture of the receiving country.

  • Fabricating Cultural Events
    Fabricating Cultural Events: The Rise of International Programme Formats in Norwegian Television Production Yngvar Kjus, Lillehammer University College1 International trade and cooperation are increasingly affecting what we experience in the national and local media. This development is rapidly evolving with live televised events, like Idols and Dancing with the Stars, and here I pursue why (and how) this is so. I engage specifically with the ways in which licensed international programme formats intervene in existing programme traditions, and affect the repertoire and capacity of national television producers. I trace the practices of the two largest Norwegian broadcasters over the last two decades. The question is not only how licensed formats affect different industry sectors, in this case license-funded NRK and commercial TV 2, but also how different units within the broadcasters are impacted. The article calls for heightened sensitivity to new forms of control and collaboration in creative processes, and new routines for premeditating live events. It suggests that format exchange should be evaluated along a continuum from open to closed; a continuum that can bring nuance to discussions of cultural colonisation. Introduction Already in the 1950s, the producer of The $64,000 Question, Louis Cowan, was making a good living by developing game show formats and selling production licenses to American broadcasters (Anderson, 1978). However, his reach did not extend beyond the United States. The Norwegian broadcaster NRK made its own version of the program (Kvitt eller dobbelt) in 1961, as did its sibling broadcasters in other Nordic countries (Theisen, 1993), and it became a major hit (a version of which is still being produced today).
