He’s attacked other monsters and terrorized Japan for decades. Now Godzilla is confronting academics who want to wrestle with his legacy.

The University of Kansas plans to pay homage to the giant lizard later this month, organizing a three-day scholarly conference for the 50th anniversary of his first film. It’s not just about celebrating campy creature features. Planners want to provoke discussion of globalization, Japanese pop culture and Japanese-American relations after World War II.

Erfinden Sie eine Figur. Sie kann groß, klein, jung, alt sein, egal, wichtig ist nur: Die Figur muss sich an einem Sonntagnachmittag im Oktober 2004 in der Südsee-Abteilung des Ethnologischen Museums in Dahlem aufhalten. Dort wird sie zusammen mit anderen Besuchern über Nacht eingeschlossen, keiner weiß warum, und vertreibt sich die Zeit und die Angst mit dem Erzählen von Geschichten. Und die Geschichte, die Ihre Figur erzählt – die wollen wir lesen.

Otago University anthropologist Dr Jacqueline Leckie has researched Indian migration to New Zealand over nearly 200 years. Leckie says such popular events help improve race relations, although racism remains a problem in New Zealand. >> continue

Formidling og sakprosaforskning: Forskere må kommunisere med leseren

Johan L. Tønnesson har med sin doktoravhandling ønsket å stimulere til økt refleksjon innad i historikermiljøet om hvordan gode fagtekster kommuniserer med omverdenen. Tønnesson ønsker å bidra med kunnskap om hva som skal til for å skape god sakprosa.

Vitenskap er ikke noe som bare skal formidles, i betydningen transporteres til publikum som et ferdig produkt. Den gode vitenskapelige teksten skal stimulere til skaperkraft hos alle nysgjerrige lesere. Virkelig resepsjon kommer først i gang når mennesker legger til sin egen stemme. For at en vitenskaplig artikkel eller bok skal kunne fungere etter sin hensikt, må skaperen av teksten alltid ha for øye at den også må oppleves relevant for hans medskapende lesere.

Hvis forfatteren legger for sterk vekt på å sensurere bort sine egne motforestillinger og motstemmer, mangler de synlige sporene av kommunikasjon i teksten.
