The soundslide report : innovative journalism or misplaced works of art?
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordicom Review. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/nor-2014-0007 Open Access The audio slideshow-or soundslide report-represents a new format for journalistic reporting on online news sites.

The article offers an illustration and discussion of these potentials, asking how the format communicates and how it affects journalism in general. Starting out with a close reading of a sample text and a discussion of the format's position in a network of g…

Curation by the Living Dead: Exploring the Legacy of Norwegian Museums' Colonial Collections
2021
ABSTRACT While the history of Norwegian museum acquisitions and collection formation has long been a topic of research, the extent to which colonial structures are still embedded in various Norwegian collecting institutions is seldom addressed. In this paper, we discuss the legacy of colonial collections in Norway through two case studies; Inge Heiberg’s collection of Congo ethnographica in various exhibitions at the University of Oslo’s Museum of Cultural History from the early 1900s to the present; and the Norwegian Kon-Tiki Museum’s initiative to repatriate human remains and other material excavated by Thor Heyerdahl on Rapa Nui in the 1950s. Presenting two cases that have been promoted …

The acquisition of verb movement in first language acquisition : comparison of english and norwegian
2013
Master thesis in english- University of Agder 2013 In the previous sections I compared the findings of researchers studying several different child languages. One language, child English, does not provide compelling evidence of the presence of the functional layers during the early multi-word stage (1;6-2;0). Other languages, child French and German, provide strong evidence of the presence of one functional layer above the VP but no (child French) or only ambiguous tendencies regarding the presence of the second functional layer above the VP (child German). The third group of languages, child Swedish and child Norwegian, seem to show compelling evidence of the 71 presence of two functional …
