Hvad er der blevet af den store interesse for en islamisk økonomi? Mens islamisk finans vokser og vokser, er diskussionen om et islamisk alternativ til de eksisterende økonomiske systemer blevet mindre og mindre. Denne artikel undersøger den egyptiske statsmuftis rolle i spørgsmålet om en islamisk økonomi og søger at give forklaringer på udviklingen.

Resumé Teknologiforståelse er på den uddannelsespolitiske dagsorden, men det er stadig uklart, hvordan teknologiforståelsesfagligheden skal indgå i læreruddannelse og i folkeskole. Et casebaseret observationsstudie undersøger mulige læringspotentialer ved at integrere teknologiforståelse i eksisterende fag. Studiets empiriske grundlag er fire cases, som stammer fra gennemførte undervisningsaktiviteter, hvor teknologiforståelse som noget nyt er integreret i matematik på læreruddannelsen og i fysik/kemi, håndværk og design og dansk i folkeskolen. Data indsamles gennem deltagerobservation og interview. En induktiv temaanalyse danner grundlag for fund af to læringspotentialer: 1) Digitale teknologier kan både understøtte forståelse og gøre opmærksom på misforståelser af faglige begreber. 2) Samfundsmæssige problemstillinger, hvor teknologi spiller en væsentlig rolle, kan bringes i spil, når teknologiforståelse integreres i fag. Studiet fastslår, at der er læringspotentialer ved at integrere teknologiforståelse i eksisterende fag, men at der også kan være reelle udfordringer, som der skal tages højde for. Abstract This paper examines the learning potential of integrating technology comprehension in existing courses through a case-based observation study. The empirical foundation of the study consists of four revelatory cases that stem from completed teaching activities in which technology comprehension is integrated. Data is collected through observations and interviews. An inductive thematic analysis forms the basis for identifying two learning potentials. 1) Digital technologies can both support understanding and draw attention to misunderstandings of academic concepts. 2) Societal issues where technology plays a significant role can be brought into play when technological literacy is integrated into subjects. The case study states that there is learning potential in integrating technology comprehension into existing subjects, but there may also be real challenges that must be considered.

Abstract Det universitetspædagogiske praksisfelt i Danmark kendetegnes af nogle gennemgående brudflader, som har betydning for samarbejdet mellem professionelle universitetspædagoger og forskere, der underviser (VIP). I denne artikel undersøger jeg én af disse brudflader med afsæt i det, jeg kalder ’pædagogisk eksplicitering’. Spørgsmålet der driver undersøgelsen er, hvorfor mange universitetspædagoger (og andre) er for eksplicitering, og hvorfor mange VIP er skeptiske eller direkte imod. Hvad informerer de to forskellige positioner, og hvad sker der, når de mødes? Analysen baserer sig på data indsamlet gennem etnografisk deltagerobservation og anvender et diskursanalytisk perspektiv, hvor fokus er på den diskursive praksis og dennes rationaler og implikationer. Artiklen konkluderer blandt andet, at der er to væsensforskellige pædagogiske sprog i spil, selvom de to diskurspositioner ikke kan genkende dem hos hinanden. Indlægget er tænkt som en invitation til refleksion over hversagspraksis og værdier.

This study examined the potential for children’s multilingual development supported by a digital e-book application (Polyglutt) used in Swedish preschools. The analysis focused on the app’s software design and the reflections of 17 preschool teachers in a large Swedish city, many of whom work with multilingual groups of children. A social semiotic perspective of multimodality was utilized to evaluate the app’s potential and a qualitative content analysis was employed to analyse the interviews. Findings indicated that the app was popular among the teachers and was considered an efficient tool for read-aloud activities, although the potential for multilingual purposes was rarely realized. The analysis shows that the app has potential for multilingual interaction, yet the design does not always make this clearly visible. Didactic implications of the use of the application are critically discussed.

SUMMARY: We show, for the first time, the relative strength of Danish identification with Christian culture and Old Norse culture. The study uses two measures: 1) the Identity Fusion (IF) scale to measure personal identification with a given culture, and 2) a task that measures the extent to which participants attribute central Danish values to a Christian or an Old Norse cultural heritage. We find across two samples (2021 n= 180; 2022 n=161) a consistent pattern. The IF scale reveals that Danes identify with both Christian and Old Norse cultures. The relative strength differs with approximately one unit on the IF with an almost 50% overlap between self and Christian culture, and an almost 25% overlap between self and Old Norse culture. We find a corresponding pattern on the value attribution task. The participants attribute values to both Christian and Old Norse cultural heritage, but also to other cultural repertoires. The origins of most, but not all, Danish values are attributed relatively more to the Christian heritage by approximately 30-35% of each value, while the Old Norse heritage is attributed approximately 20-25% of each value. Although the pattern is much more complex, we make the conjecture based on these results that Old Norse culture makes up 20-25% of the personal as well as the national identity of Danes. RESUME: Vi kvantificerer for første gang styrkeforholdet mellem danskernes identificering med henholdsvis kristen og oldnordisk kultur. Undersøgelsen anvender to måleredskaber, 1) Identity fusion (IF) skalaen, som måler deltagernes personlige identificering med en bestemt kultur, og 2) en fordelingsøvelse, som måler i hvilken grad deltagerne tilskriver danske værdier en kristen eller en oldnordisk kulturarv. Vi finder i to stikprøver fra henholdsvis 2021 (n= 180) og 2022 (n=161) et klart mønster: deltagerne identificerer sig både med kristen og oldnordisk kultur, og den relative styrke viser ca. én enheds forskel på IF-skalaen, nemlig, et næsten 50% selvrapporteret overlap mellem selv og kristen kultur, og et næsten 25% overlap mellem selv og oldnordisk kultur. Vi finder et tilsvarende mønster på tilskrivningen af værdier. Deltagerne tilskriver danske værdier både en kristen og en oldnordisk kulturarv, men de tilskriver også værdier andre kulturelle repertoires. De fleste værdier tilskrives i højere grad en kristen kulturarv (ca. 30-35%) end en oldnordisk kulturarv (20-25%). Virkeligheden er selvfølgelig mere kompleks; men vi foreslår baseret på disse resultater, at oldnordisk kultur udgør ca. 20-25% af danskernes personlige og nationale identitet.

The representations of HIV/AIDS in Danish AIDS campaigns 1983-1996. In this article we have investigated the representation of HIV/AIDS in Danish campaign material from 1983-1996. We have collected and digitized approximate 130 pieces of campaign materials, published by approximately 30 different organizations, administrative authorities, and municipalities in the period from 1983-2000. Using a cultural studies inspired strategy of analysis, we investigate how HIV/AIDS is visually, metaphorically and rhetorically signified in the material. Our analysis show that a specific homosexual aesthetic is formed by using a camp visual style of homoeroticism and homo-iconography. We argue that the campaigns not only work through reason but also by making intimate relations, identity, and desire to its object and strategy. Secondly, as the material rarely visualizes a body living with HIV or AIDS, our analysis shows, that HIV/AIDS are metaphorically and visually represented in the material as the catastrophe, that is hidden, and the biblical fall. Thus, we conclude that a visual and metaphorical chain of equivalencies that links HIV/AIDS with homosexuality, the sin, and the catastrophe, is present in the Danish HIV/AIDS campaigns.

Essays udgivet af Scandinavian Journal of Islamic Studies er ikke fagfællebedømt.

Denne artikel udgør et pilotstudie, som baseret på fem semi-strukturerede interviews undersøger minoritetsunges sproglige konceptualisering af æresrelaterede konflikter og de følelser, disse giver anledning til. Således har artiklens første del fokus på diskurs, mens anden del fokuserer på manipulation af følelser som håndhævelsesmekanisme. Artiklen definerer et nyt koncept kaldet parallelsamfundseffekten til at forklare informanternes oplevelse af at bevæge sig frem og tilbage mellem det, de anser for majoritetssamfundet og parallelsamfundet.

Formålet med denne artikel er at beskrive børn og unges onlinefællesskaber ”på kanten” med særligt fokus på de dynamikker, som kan føre til polarisering og/eller onlinehad. Artiklens vidensgrundlag bygger på en desk research (Kortlægning af viden om forebyggelse af ekstremisme online blandt børn og unge, Petersen og Peters, 2020) og to fokusgruppeinterviews med syv unge. I artiklen diskuterer vi desuden, hvordan vi kan forstå begrebet udsathed i forhold til ekstremisme online, ligesom vi med udgangspunkt i begreberne rationel nysgerrighed og dialogisk rum (dialogical space) præsenterer en tilgang til, hvordan fagprofessionelle og andre voksne kan blive bedre klædt på til at engagere sig i dialoger med børn og unge, så forebyggelsesarbejdet kan lykkes bedre. Nøgleord: onlineliv, inklusion, eksklusion, onlinehad, forebyggelse, dialog, rationel nysgerrighed.

ABSTRACT: Inspired by the concept of Cultural Christianity, we investigate if something like Cultural Asatru exists in Denmark. A Cultural Asatru person may not believe in or worship the Old Norse gods, but may still identify with a pre-Christian heritage, believe that Danish values stem from Old Norse culture, and see Old Norse myths as original expressions of these values. We have used qualitative and quantitative methods to examine such beliefs and attitudes in 30 participants. The study was designed as a proof-of-concept study to evaluate whether cultural Asatru exists in Denmark, and if so, how this construct can be measured empirically. We find that national conservative Danes identify with Christian as well as Old Norse culture. The virtues of strength, courage, and vigor seem to be strongly associated with Old Norse heritage, while forgiveness, love, and compassion are associated with a Christian heritage. Gender equality, appreciation of nature, and the concept of Danishness appear to be associated more with Old Norse culture than with Christian culture. Strength and courage, which seem to express the essence of Old Norse culture, are heavily associated with the god Thor and the widespread wearing of Thor’s hammer pendants. RESUME: Vi undersøger danskernes forhold til oldnordisk kultur. Inspireret af begrebet kulturkristendom undersøger vi, om der også findes kulturasetro i Danmark. For at være kulturasetro behøver man hverken at tro på eller dyrke de hedenske guder. Til gengæld identificerer man sig med den oldnordiske kulturarv, anser danske værdier for at være oldnordiske og opfatter oldnordiske myter som oprindelige udtryk for disse værdier. Vi har undersøgt 30 deltageres forhold til oldnordisk kultur og mytologi ved hjælp af både kvalitative og kvantitative mål. Undersøgelsen er designet som et proof-of-concept studie, der i første omgang skal vurdere, om der overhovedet findes kulturasetro i Danmark. Vi finder i undersøgelsen, at nationalkonservative deltagere identificerer sig med både kristen og oldnordisk kultur. Generelt tilskrives værdier som styrke, mod og handlekraft en oldnordisk kultur, mens tilgivelse, kærlighed og barmhjertighed tilskrives en kristen kultur. Lighed mellem køn, naturglæde og selve begrebet danskhed forbindes i højere grad med oldnordisk kultur end med kristen kultur. Styrke og mod synes at udgøre selve essensen af oldnordisk kultur, og disse kerneværdier kædes sammen med guden Thor og med det at bære thorshammeren om halsen.

ABSTRACT: This chapter revolves around the concept of sacrifice. Based on a researchhistorical review of a number of classic writers in Anthropology, Sociology, and the History of Religions, I seek within a bio-cultural evolutionary framework to tease out a more precise and refined understanding of what constitutes sacrifice. Bearing in mind the different levels of analysis, actor vs. observer and second-order vs. fourth-order examination, I see sacrifice as a subcategory of the broader phenomenon of exchange, and I argue that sacrifice continues to play an important role in modern culture and society. Contrary to the many researchers who have argued for a goodbye to the category of sacrifice in recent years, I present a definition which I regard as fully encompassing the phenomenon it seeks to delineate. RESUME: I artiklen diskuterer jeg offerbegrebet. Baseret på en forskningshistorisk gennemgang af en række klassikere fra antropologi, sociologi og religionsvidenskab søger jeg en mere præcis og forfinet forståelse af, hvad der, set fra et biokulturelt evolutionært perspektiv, udgør et offer. Med et blik for de forskellige analyseniveauer, aktør versus observatør og andenorden versus fjerdeordensniveau, forstår jeg offer som underkategori af det bredere fænomen udveksling. Jeg argumenterer for, at offeret fortsat spiller en vigtig rolle i nutidig kultur og samfund. I modsætning til de mange forskere, som de seneste år har argumenteret for et farvel til offerkategorien, præsenterer jeg en definition, som jeg anser for at være fuldt dækkende for det fænomen, definitionen har til formål at indkapsle.

Set i tilbageblik var 2012 islamisternes år i Mellem-østen. Revolutionerne i året forinden havde ført til dramatiske magtskifter i enkelte lande, kontrollerede overdragelser i andre, og borgerkrig i atter andre.

The aim of this article is to articulate and critically discuss different answers to the following question: How should decision-makers deal with conflicts that arise when the values usually entailed in ethical guidelines – such as accuracy, privacy, non-discrimination and transparency – for the use of Artificial Intelligence (e.g. algorithm-based sentencing) clash with one another? To begin with, I focus on clarifying some of the general advantages of using such guidelines in an ethical analysis of the use of AI. Some disadvantages will also be presented and critically discussed. Second, I will show that we need to distinguish between three kinds of conflict that can exist for ethical guidelines used in the moral assessment of AI. This section will be followed by a critical discussion of different answers to the question of how to handle what we shall call internal and external values conflicts. Finally, I will wrap up with a critical discussion of three different strategies to resolve what is called a ‘genuine value conflict’. These strategies are: the ‘accepting the existence of irresolvable conflict’ view, the ranking view, and value monism. This article defends the ‘accepting the existence of irresolvable conflict’ view. It also argues that even though the ranking view and value monism, from a merely theoretical (or philosophical) point of view, are better equipped to solve genuine value conflicts among values in ethical guidelines for artificial intelligence, this is not the case in real-life decision-making. Keywords: AI; ethical guidelines; algorithm-based sentencing; value conflicts

Coronapandemien er en af de mest alvorlige globale kriser i nyere tid. Forskellige lande håndterede krisen med varieret succes, og en overraskende vigtig faktor i den henseende var graden af tillid til hinanden og til myndighederne i det pågældende land. Jo højere tillid, jo færre tilfælde af COVID-19. I denne artikel diskuteres betydningen af social og politisk tillid for håndteringen af en samfundskrise, og det diskuteres, hvordan myndigheder og politikere bevarer den nødvendige tillid, når en krise bryder ud. Artiklen tager afsæt i forskning under coronapandemien, men konsekvenserne for det bredere moderne kriseberedskab diskuteres afslutningsvist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In January 2019, the company Gillette released a short movie “We believe” as advertisement for the brand. In the ad, Gillette reframes their slogan from “the best a man can get” to “the best a man can be.” Connecting the video to the #MeToo movement and critiquing ‘toxic masculinity’, Gillette portrays a new, more responsible, gentle, empathetic masculinity for “the men of tomorrow.” In this article, we present and discuss theories and strands of masculinity studies, and we analyze how the short movie portrays contemporary masculinity vis-à-vis these theories. Our argument is that while Gillette’s short movie and similar branding movies appeal to social responsibility and might open for new and more inclusive masculinities, it does, however, at the same time reproduce the patriarchal organization of masculinity in which power and privilege run from man to man and leave women and children as objects. Furthermore, the recoding of masculinity from toxicity to empathy is framed as an individual choice within neoliberal logics.

During World War One, local authorities began printing “notgeld” (emergency money) in Germany because of an immediate shortage of coins. Over time, emergency money evolved from being an emergency measure into a collectors item with colourful illustrations often drawn by artists. After World War One, at the peace conference in Versailles, it was decided, that a new Danish-German border should be defined on the basis of plebiscites in Northern and Middle Schleswig. Before and after the plebiscites, emergency money were used to advocate national agendas and is a testimony to the state of mind in Schleswig at a time when much was at stake. In this article, the development of this particular kind of money will be examined, and a closer look will be taken upon the significance they had as a means of propaganda as well as a profitable commodity.

Review-artikel: Paulus som forløber for det liberale demokrati: en trosfanatikers budskab til nutiden

Artiklen bidrager med en historisk-pædagogisk tilgang til at forstå skole-hjem-samarbejdet som en kompleks forhandling mellem staten, lærer og forældre, med fokus på de rationaler og mulighedsbetingelser, der ligger til grund for, at samarbejdet tager sig ud, som det gør i dag. Med et metodologisk fokus på problematisering, anskuer vi skole-hjem-samarbejdet i den eksisterende forskning og viser, at samarbejdet rummer både nutidige og historiske selvfølgeligheder og normalitetsforståelser i relation til, hvad det vil sige at være en god forælder og leve op til ansvaret i samarbejdet med skolen. Endvidere viser vi med udgangspunkt i to historiske dokumenter, hvordan der sker diskursive forskydninger i, hvordan forældre og børn bliver forstået og problematiseret af staten, og at statens indtræden i hjemmet og vurdering af forældres evner bliver mulighedsskabende for, at grænserne mellem hjemmet og staten sløres. På denne baggrund argumenterer vi for, at skole- hjem-samarbejdet bærer på en dobbeltt ydighed, hvor grænserne for ansvaret og magten mellem parterne kan fremstå slørede

Review-artikel om Jan Assmann, Achsenzeit. Eine Archäologie der Moderne 2018

Collective supervision has become a common way to provide supervision at schools of higher education. This is also true for the supervision of master’s thesis students on the Master’s Programme, Security Risk Management at the University of Copenhagen. Based on experiences with collective supervision of master thesis students, this paper engages with the many understandings of feedback and learning in play in the teaching situation. In the scholarly literature, features such as multivoicedness, dialogue, process- and student-orientation are empha-sized when addressing collective supervision. Yet, our findings show a clash of expectations between a majority of the students (and supervisors) and these ide-als of collective supervision. Indeed, many students still believe feedback should be troubleshooting and product-oriented. In the final part of the paper we out-line a handful of ideas on how to improve future collective supervision to explicit-ly address the gap between expectations and conceptions of good feedback.

In Faroese there is univerbation of phrases like onkran stað ‘some place’ to onkrastað- with deletion of the accusative ending -n in onkran ‘some’. In this particular case an adverbial suffix -ni is added giving the adverb onkrastaðni ‘somewhere’. It is univerbation and derivation of this kind that will be addressed here, where the second part of the compounds is -beint ‘straight’, -leið ‘path’, -stað ‘place’, -steðs ‘place’, -tíð ‘time’ and -veg ‘road’.

The article explores professional male bodybuilding as historically characterised by bodies’ continuous growth. Until a few decades ago, bodybuilders were associated with a more widely accepted ideal of muscular masculinity, a conception of male beauty that recalls J. J. Winckelmann’s aesthetic ideal of proportion and harmony. Such association has become unimaginable in recent decades. Since at least the 1990s, professional bodybuilders have strived for a “Post-Classic ideal”, built their bodies to resemble a “shredded mass” of muscle, and sometimes self-identified as “freaks” or “monsters”. In the article, I contextualise this rejection of mainstream beauty in contemporary bodybuilding with the increasing normalisation of fitness culture since the 1970s. As “going to the gym” became a mainstream activity, bodybuilding differentiated itself by developing significantly larger bodies and became an increasingly subcultural activity. I suggest two parameters as central in this development: a synthetic ideal and an aesthetics of accumulation. The dynamic aesthetics of competitive muscle accumulation recalls a capitalist logic of ‘more is more’ and apparently over-emphasises gender normativity. Yet, I aim to show in the article that in their hyperbolic performances for purely aesthetic purposes, contemporary male bodybuilders simultaneously undermine these very ideals.
