These evaluations provide an important source of input for the future strategy and for determining new areas of focus as well as new instruments. In 2009 an international Panel was commissioned to evaluate research activities within social and cultural anthropology at Norwegian universities and relevant research institutes. The Panel was asked to evaluate scientific activities with respect to their quality, relevance, and international and national collaboration. The Panel for evaluation of research in social and cultural anthropology in Norway hereby submits the following report. The Panel is unanimous in its assessments, conclusions and recommendations. None of the Panel members has declared any conflict of interest. The Panel wants to thank the participating institutions for their careful preparations of the reading material and for the time spent both in preparatory meetings with the RCN and in meetings with the Panel. It has been a privilege to learn about anthropology in Norway from those who know best. Hopefully the report will be useful for the Institutions as well as for the RCN for the future strategy within the field of anthropology. The Panel also wants to acknowledge the well-planned process and the support received from the RCN, and the significant contribution of the secretary Fredrik Niclas Piro (NIFU STEP), who made the quantitative analyses and functioned as general secretary for the Panel.

  • 2017 Annual Report NTNU University Library
    2017 Annual Report NTNU University Library Kunnskap når det gjelder Foto: Aage Hoiem, NTNU The University Library adopted a new organizational chart in May 2017. The new organization consists of seven sections: five in Trondheim, one in Gjøvik and one in Ålesund. Work routines and collaboration between the sections have been adapted to the new NTNU over the course of 2017. With sections and campuses in several plac- es and cities, there was a need to strengthen cooperation across the different sections. At the end of 2017, the library decided to organize its academic components into eight teams designed to work across all sections. This team organization will be implemented in 2018. Photo: Lene Johansen Løkkhaug, NTNU University Library A new library director began work on 1 July and a new section manager for the Library Division in Gjøvik, Kristin Aldo, started on 1 September. As a result of the end of the 2016/2017 hiring freeze, many new employees have joined the staff in all sections during the year. 2017 has been a year in which we have collected ourselves after the merger process and time has been spent on planning and preparing for new challenges in 2018. By the end of 2017, the library had been given a clear role in publishing research results and research data. The Uni- versity Library has also had a good dialogue with other departments on issues related to university education. Rune Brandshaug, Library Director, NTNU University Library 2 Allocation of costs The library's total costs in 2017 were NOK 235 million.

The Norwegian shared library system BIBSYS is in 2010 used by more than hundred university-, college-, and research libraries, including the Norwegian National Library. The BIBSYS project was initiated in 1970 and it led to a complete re-engineering of the Norwegian research libraries. The paper describes the project, how the system was initiated and discusses important decisions made during project development. The two most important factors for the success of BIBSYS are discussed. One is that the project started with a detailed information analysis prior to coding and data base design, using a good software tool.

  • 'A Good Night Out'
    Nordic Theatre Studies Vol. 29, No. 2, 2017, 87—119 ‘A Good Night Out’ When Political Theatre Aims at Being Popular, Or How Norwegian Political Theatre in the 1970s Utilized Populist Ideals and Popular Culture in Their Performances ANNA WATSON ABSTRACT Bertolt Brecht stated in Schriften zum Theater: Über eine Nichtaristotelische Dramatik (Writings on Theatre: On Anti-Aristotelian Drama) that a high quality didactic (and politi- cal) theatre should be an entertaining theatre. The Norwegian theatre company Hålogaland Teater used Brecht’s statement as their leading motive when creating their political performances together with the communities in Northern Norway. The Oslo- based theatre group, Tramteatret, on the other hand, synthesised their political mes- sages with the revue format, and by such attempted to make a contemporaneous red revue inspired by Norwegian Workers’ Theatre (Tramgjengere) in the 1930s. Håloga- land Teater and Tramteatret termed themselves as both ‘popular’ and ‘political’, but what was the reasoning behind their aesthetic choices? In this article I will look closer at Hålogaland Teater’s folk comedy, Det er her æ høre tel (This is where I belong) from 1973, together with Tramteatret’s performance, Deep Sea Thriller, to compare how they utilized ideas of socialist populism, popular culture, and folk in their productions. When looking into the polemics around political aesthetics in the late 1960s and the 1970s, especially lead by the Frankfurter School, there is a distinct criticism of popular culture. How did the theatre group’s definitions of popular culture correspond with the Frankfurter School’s criticism? KEYWORDS Political Theatre; Popular Culture & Theatre; Adorno; Gramsci; Brecht; Dario Fo; Tramteatret; Hålogaland Teater.

  • Mapping and Characterizing Nordic Everyday Life Research
    Mapping and Characterizing Nordic Everyday Life Research Kristina Karlsson Anna Olaison Karin Skill Arbetsnotat Nr 343, maj 2010 ISSN 1101-1289 ISRN LiU-TEMA-T-WP-343-SE Acknowledgements The authors of this report, Kristina Karlsson, Anna Olaisson, and Karin Skill, developed it at the request of the local network on Everyday Life Research at Linköping University, of which we are members. We thank the local network for entrusting us with this task and supporting us all the way. We also thank the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Linköping University for making the work possible by partially financing it. However, the making of this report required more than monetary support. The efforts of librarian Christina Brage, who searched through thousands of references, have been vital. The patient librarian Jenny Betmark made the handling of the references easier by teaching us how to use RefWorks. Our colleague Helena Karresand assisted us with the translation of the Finnish references. Our everyday life research colleagues in the Nordic research network on Everyday Life Processes in European Societies (ELPiES) have offered valuable feedback and encouragement. Finally, Peter Berkesand and David Lawrence at Linköping University Electronic Press made our dreams of an Everyday Life Research Database seem attainable. Thanks to you all! Linköping, May 2010 Kristina Karlsson Anna Olaison Karin Skill 2 Summary The aim of this report is to present references that originate from the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, and that have been assigned the keyword “everyday life” or one of its Nordic counterparts and published in the period 1990 through 2008.

Oplevelser og Optegnelser 1884- 1889, (Kristiania: Gyldendal 1913), 175. VII VIII Forord Etter to år, og tre hakk sterkere kontaktlinser enn ved utgangspunktet, er det på tide å avrunde et spennende og givende dypdykk i Johan Sverdrups liv og i 1880-tallets politiske miljø. Å bli kjent med arkivene, sette seg inn i litteraturen og forsøke å danne seg et bilde av en svært turbulent periode i norsk politisk historie har vært veldig gøy, til tider frustrerende, men mest av alt gitt lyst til å vite enda mer. Når punktum settes for denne gang, går først og fremst en stor takk min til kunnskapsrike veileder Odd Arvid Storsveen, som har inspirert, motivert og bidratt med svært grundige tilbakemeldinger og gode samtaler. Takknemlighet rettes også til Anniken Hareide og Silje Jeanette Mølmen som har lest store mengder tekst og bidratt med verdifulle kommentarer i en viktig fase av arbeidet.

Treatment of samples and counting equipment have remained essentially the same as described previously (R, 1972, v 14, p 418-419). Counting equipment and improvements are described in more detail by Gulliksen (1972). Our counters 2, 5 and 6 now have backgrounds/re- cent standard net counts of respectively .8cpm/ 19.3cpm, l.lcpm/ 11.7cpm, and .55cpm/7.6cpm. Guard Counter GM3 (Nydal, 1965) shielding our Counter 2, has been continuously working for 3 years without refilling or purification of the propane counting gas (1.2atm). Gyttja samples are now dated by using the NaOH-soluble fraction whenever the quantity of sample material is sufficient. Ages are calculated by applying the Libby value 5570 ± 30 years, for the 14C half life, and using 95% of NBS oxalic acid activity as contem- standard referring to AD 1950.

  • Parties, Legislators, and the Origins of Proportional Representation∗
    Parties, Legislators, and the Origins of Proportional Representation∗ Gary W. Coxy Jon H. Fivaz Daniel M. Smithx October 30, 2017 Abstract A prominent line of theories holds that proportional representation (PR) was intro- duced in many European democracies by a fragmented bloc of conservative parties seeking to preserve their legislative seat shares after franchise extension and indus- trialization increased the vote base of socialist parties. In contrast to this \seat- maximization" account, we focus on how PR affected party leaders' control over nominations, thereby enabling them to discipline their followers and build more cohesive parties. We explore this \party-building" account in the case of Norway, using roll call data from six reform proposals in 1919. We show that leaders were more likely to vote in favor of PR than rank-and-file members, even controlling for the parties' expected seat payoffs and the district-level socialist electoral threat facing individual legislators. Moreover, using within-legislator variation, we show that the internal cohesion of parties increased significantly after the introduction of PR.
