– Dette første gang det blir utgitt en samlet populærhistorie om Nord-Norge, sier Asbjørn Jaklin. Jaklin har tatt for seg landsdelens historie fra 1884 og fram til i dag. Jaklin innrømmer at han hadde han et annerledes bilde av nordlendingen da han begynte på boka enn det han har i dag.

– Nord-Norge har ikke vært en landsdel som har ligget i bakevja. Vi har hatt et flerkulturelt miljø lenge før pakistanerne kom til Oslo. Fauske hadde på et tidspunkt Norges nest største industri og Nord-Norge har hele tiden vært involvert i internasjonale forhold. Blant annet i forbindelse med den kalde krigen og pomorhandelen. Nå har forskjellen mellom nordlendingen og resten av befolkningen blitt jevnet ut, sier han. >> les mer

Critics dismiss Malaysian Idol as ’empty entertainment’ but educators endorse the programme for its unifying factor. Among others, critics had called it a morally decadent programme that might influence local youth to go against Asian values.

Social anthropologist Professor Wan Zawawi Ibrahim from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation loves the show for its multicultural content. “Malaysian Idol is a space for young people of different ethnicity, faiths and cultures to interact,” he says.

Wan Zawawi, whose main areas of research include pop culture and multiculturalism, admires the bond shared by the participants. It has been noted frequently that Malaysian undergraduates are not comfortable mixing with those of different ethnic backgrounds. >> continue

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.

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.
