Seeking a Radical Collaboration for the Future of Medieval Studies
King Alfred the Great, His Hagiographers and His Cult
Theorizing Insular Exceptionalism in the Early Medieval North Atlantic
Insularity, I posit, is an unfortunately under-examined term in Old English studies. Scholars trained in Western academic traditions often evoke the term in reference to the islands of the North Atlantic to mark the ways in which veins of Christianity, and subsequently material and literary culture, developed differently in the islands than they did on the European continent. Despite the frequent evocation of insularity, there is limited scholars…
Revisiting the gap between ideals and realities within restorative justice
In this article, attention is paid to understanding how the principle of restorative justice is operationalised and works within a context such as the Norwegian youth justice reform. The study reveals a distinct gap between ideals and practical realities. This gap is elaborated on and discussed within various perspectives on restorative justice. By this, the article adds both to international literature on the subject and to debates on limitation…
The Afterlives of Crisis
My contribution to this cluster seeks to situate and understand the Vita Haroldi through slipstream — a genre of Indigenous Sci-Fi writing that enacts temporal sovereignty in the past, present, and future. The Vita Haroldi (BL Harley MS 3776), a story about King Harold II’s life living in the Welsh borderlands after the Battle of Hastings, can be understood as an alternate temporality constructed as a response to a crisis. Specifically, this essa…
Modern Taboos and Moral Regulations
This article offers a sociological analysis of taboos surrounding breast milk and breastfeeding and how these are expressed within a breastfeeding friendly society such as Norway. Two taboos are identified: (1) Giving up breastfeeding 'too early' and (2) not giving up breastfeeding 'in time'. These taboos are explored through the lenses of Mary Douglas and her conceptualization of purity and danger. Attention is particularly drawn to the ways in …
Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice and the OECD Pisa Global Competence Framework
Globalisation has become increasingly important in education, and national systems are no longer defined only by the nation-state. The role of intergovernmental organisations such as the OECD has also become increasingly important, particularly through the development of the PISA tests and the publication of international comparison tables. With a growing recognition of educating for an international and globalised future, the OECD assessed globa…

Indigenous Futures and Medieval Pasts
In this interview Bitterroot Salish medievalist Tarren Andrews and Tongva medievalist Wallace Cleaves discuss the past, present, and future of medieval studies. Their conversation focuses on what it means and has meant to be a Native American scholar in the field of medieval studies, their hope and concerns for the Indigenous turn, and what interested them in medieval studies to begin with. Most important, Andrews and Cleaves discuss how their Na…

Symbols and Meanings in Breast Cancer Awareness Campaigns
This article examines symbols and meanings in breast cancer awareness campaigns, and the ways in which multifarious actors draw attention to the disease. We discuss what the various campaigns and initiatives can indicate, above and beyond creating breast cancer awareness. Our data stem from sources such as printed material, the Internet, and events. From these sources we have singled out and explored objects, text, and visual expressions, looking…
Medicalized Mothering
This paper explores infant feeding practices and experiences of mothers in Canada and Norway, two countries where breastfeeding rates are relatively high. Based on interviews with 33 Canadian mothers and 27 Norwegian mothers, we also examine how mothers feel, think and talk about their infant feeding decisions and experiences, and examine similarities and divergences across their stories. Our findings reveal that infant feeding is very much organ…
Deprofessionalization of a female occupation
This article argues that Norwegian public health nurses, after a long period of professionalization, have recently undergone a process of deprofessionalization. Public health nurses' jurisdiction has become heavily circumscribed. They have lost duties linked with power and respect in the local community and they have lost monopoly on duties originally ascribed to the profession. Despite these changes, this study indicates a conspicuous lack of op…

Conflicting public health discourses—tensions and dilemmas in practice
In current Norwegian discourses and policy debates dealing with children's health and well-being ideas of appropriate methods vary, as do ideas regarding the role parents play in the improvement of their children's health. The present paper draws attention to these discourses, and it presents the findings of an empirical study that examined the everyday life of the Norwegian mother and child health service. The paper also addresses the dilemmas f…
Deprofesjonalisering av helsesøsteryrket
Grenseløse krav i helsestasjonstjenesten – Dilemmaer og mestringsstrategier
Pulled between contradictory expectations
In public health discourses in Western societies from the late 1970s onwards, redistribution of power from health professionals to individuals has been defined as a key strategy to foster what is called ‘healthy citizens’. The idea of changing the power relations between ‘experts’ and ‘non-experts’ by ‘empowering’ the latter, however, has not been problematized within the ‘new’ public health literature to any real extent. The present paper focuse…
