Third Parties in Home-School Connections: Learning from Conversations with Nondominant Families Crossing Cultures
Authors: Lyutykh Elena , Strickland Martha J , Fasoli Lyn , Adera Beatrice
Published: September 2021

Guided by a networked model of Ecological Systems Theory, this qualitative study listened to nondominant families who had crossed cultures and sent children to schools in cultural contexts different from those of the parents’ upbringing. Researchers looked at the mesosystemic interactions between the microsystems of the family and the microsystems of the school through the eyes of the families in order to capture “third parties” and common patterns of social relations and interactions that families engaged in around school. Families insisted on keeping home and school settings separate and revealed complex social networks that mediated families’ thinking about school and motivated alternative conceptions of their involvement in their children’s education. Implications are discussed.

Becoming Critical Communities of Practice in Pre-Kindergarten
Authors: Sherfinski Melissa
Published: September 2021

Communities of practice seek to support all members to move from the margins of education to the center. This study draws on data collected in one diverse universal pre-kindergarten (UPK) community in West Virginia over a 4-year period as a basis for considering home-school relationships. The findings indicated that while not yet a reality in the community due to persistent challenges, there is a deep interest among educators and diverse families to support their children's educations and to develop cross-cultural understandings. Given the current community context and the role of universal pre-kindergarten as a major pathway into K-12 education, this research found that it makes sense to pursue the development of communities of practice through induction, integration and investment strategies (Hong, 2011), with UPK serving as an important site for initial induction and integration.
A Population Overlooked: Building Caring Relationships Between Military Children and Teachers
Authors: Haverback Heather , Bojczyk Kathryn E.
Published: September 2021

Millions of children across the globe are sons and daughters of military parents. These children have a unique set of circumstances which impact their education, development, family, and entire life. This paper considers research, which has shown that when teachers can create a positive relationship with individual students in their class, the student will see the school as a supportive space wherein he or she can academically and socially engage. Strategies to guide work with this population’s special needs are offered for teachers and administrators.

Authors: Anderson Jim , Anderson Ann
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this article is to reflect on three decades of working in family literacy initiatives in diverse communities. We review the literature on children’s emergent early literacy development and family literacy and describe the conceptual framework, including socio-cultural theory, cultural models of learning and ethnotheories, culturally responsive pedagogy, and bilingualism and first or home language maintenance. We also describe the development and evolution of the various projects and their contexts after which we share some of the key things we learned from working with families and communities, including challenges. In conclusion, we highlight key insights garnered from this body of work for various stakeholders including teachers.
Developing Community Engaged Research Practices in Family, School and Community Partnerships
Authors: Evans Michael P.
Published: September 2021

As the field of family, school and community partnerships continues to evolve, there is increasing recognition of the impact that parents, guardians and communities can have on students, schools, and education systems-at-large when provided with opportunity to become authentically engaged.  To further this evolution there is a need for participatory approaches to research that directly support educational change.  This article provides an overview of community engaged scholarship (CES) with a focus on the benefits, criticisms, and challenges that emerge from the utilization of this approach.  Special attention is given to how CES intersects with existing efforts in the field of family, school and community partnerships.
Niam Txiv Txoj Kev Txawj Ntse: A Psychosociocultural Understanding of Hmong Parents' Support of their Hmong American Undergraduates
Authors: Her Pa , Gloria Alberta M. , Chang Shee Yee , Thao Pahoua , Lee Douachong , Xiong Maimoua
Published: September 2021

This qualitative study examined the narratives of support that 8 sets and 2 single mother Hmong parents (10 mothers and 8 fathers) provided their children pursuing higher education. Ten 90-minute semi-structured interviews were conducted in Hmong parents’ homes. Using a psychosociocultural approach, narratives were analyzed using a multi-step process, yielding three emergent themes for both Hmong parents and two specific to mothers and fathers, respectively. Findings clearly reveal the importance of Hmong parent home practices and processes to support their child in higher education. Implications for university personnel working to establish educational partnerships with Hmong parents and communities to support Hmong student persistence are addressed.
“We have stories to share!”: Narratives of Identity and Perspectives of Japanese Descent Teachers in the USA
Authors: Monobe Gumiko , Seidl Barbara L.
Published: September 2021

As the number of immigrant children entering school systems increases across the globe, preparing teachers to support these children and their families is of critical importance. How to support and bring strength to English language learners (ELLs) and immigrant children is a new subject among the scholarship of teacher education, due to the increasing numbers of immigrant children. There are unique complexities that educators need to consider, including: (a) their own cross/bicultural, bilingual identity development, (b) their interpersonal relationship building, and (c) their hybrid experiences in a culturally and linguistically unfamiliar environment with other children and teachers in a new country.In this study, we focus mainly on three teachers who are Japanese descent and their support of Japanese immigrant students. Findings from this study suggest that the three teachers used their funds of knowledge (GonzÃ¡lez, Moll, & Amanti, 2005) as immigrants and immigrant teachers to support their Japanese immigrant students in the following three categories: building interpersonal connections, cross-cultural mediation, and nurturing identity development in the context of hybridity and wholeness.

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF WELLBEING ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL LITERACY AND PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT OF TEACHERS
Authors: Quijano Elizabeth Joy Serrano , Bualan Venus D.
Published: September 2021

This study aimed to determine the mediating effect of wellbeing on the relationship between financial literacy and professional commitment of public school teachers. Stratified random sampling technique was used which included 300 public school teachers as respondents. Through non-experimental quantitative mediation test, validated questionnaire, mean and per-son, results showed significant relationships between financial literacy of teachers, professional commitment and wellbeing. However, there was no mediation on the effect of wellbeing on the relationship between financial literacy and professional commitment of teachers. Furthermore, to improve the level of wellbeing of the public school teachers, the mediating model can be tested keeping in view the socio demographics for better results as the scope of this research required testing of the model. The attitudinal variable of financial literacy relies on many factors as well and to get a holistic picture of what exact source of financial literacy.
Guilty Until Proven Guilty
Authors: Narayan Shivangi
Published: September 2021

The journey to understand technological and digital policing requires a re-engagement with the most basic and widely used technology – paper-based registers for preventive policing. In the name of preventive policing, people from ex-untouchable castes, indigenous populations, and immigrants (in the city) are put under surveillance and recorded in registers. In the process, they earn criminal records for petty crimes, but also for no crimes at all. The registers enable a very ‘visible’ surveillance, where the ‘suspects’ are watched, followed and asked to come for mandatory attendance at the stations. Keeping in mind the segregated nature of the urban landscapes of cities in India, this is only possible for people who belong to certain strata of society and who do not have the privilege of escaping the prying eyes of the police. Researchers have argued that this form of policing is anti-poor or anti-marginalised. However, in this article, I argue that this form of preventive policing is better understood as being anti-caste. I demonstrate how police manuals, including guidelines for police record keeping and surveillance practices, reproduce and imitate the caste based social structure of India by using legacy practices from some still operational and some defunct laws. The paper-based registers maintain an illusion of objectivity – while the police can simply claim to be obeying the manuals. However, by enabling the recording of only those able to be visibly surveilled, those arrested for petty crimes, or those unable to escape the criminal justice system because of lack of money or social support or both, the paper-based registers become a vehicle of policing caste. By marking those thus recorded as habitual offenders, these registers propagate the caste-based understanding that defines crime as an inherent/hereditary trait of the lower castes. Prediction becomes nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of Persian Version of Relationship Emotional Schema Scale Among Iranian Victims of Domestic Violence
Authors: Masoudzadeh Abbas , Alami Somayeh , Pourasghar Mehdi , Naderi Rajeh Yazdan
Published: September 2021

Background: After introducing the emotional schema model, two questionnaires are proposed to assess this structure. This study is the first validation research on the Relationship Emotional Schema scale (RESS) worldwide. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the factor structure and psychometric properties of RESS among Iranian victims of domestic violence. Materials and Methods: This study used a correlational method, and the research population encompassed couples with the experience of domestic violence, who had referred to the Forensics Center of Sari Province in 2018. The sample size of the study was determined to be 227 persons selected by the convenience sampling method. To implement RESS for Iranian population after back translation, a pilot study was conducted on 50 persons. Moreover, internal consistency and exploratory factor analysis were performed to check its structure validity. Results: Fourteen items have a significant correlation with the scores of the relevant subscale (negative and positive relationship emotional schema). The reliability of these two dimensions was acceptable, as confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient with a range of 0.68 to 0.74. The total value of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.71. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors of RESS. Furthermore, a two-factor structure was extracted, and the correlation between items confirmed the structure validity of the scale. Convergent validity analyses revealed that negative and positive relationship emotional schemas had a significant correlation with the domestic violence domains and its total score and with neuroticism and extraversion. Conclusions: According to the present findings, RESS can be utilized in research and clinical practice.
Práticas avaliativas favorecedoras à aprendizagem no contexto da inclusão: a subjetividade em foco
Authors: Gonçalves Bárbara Da Silva Ferreira , Madeira-Coelho Cristina Massot
Published: September 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar práticas avaliativas que favorecem a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento do estudante com deficiência, consideradas a partir da produção subjetiva docente. Este trabalho foi organizado a partir de pesquisa mais ampla que constituiu a dissertação de mestrado da primeira autora do artigo. A pesquisa, ancorada na perspectiva cultural-histórica, teve como base os pressupostos teórico, epistemológico e metodológico da Teoria da Subjetividade de González Rey. A produção da informação foi realizada a partir de pesquisa em escola pública do Distrito Federal, em uma região considerada de periferia, e teve como participante a professora do 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental I, de uma turma em que estava incluído um menino com diagnóstico de Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Realizada em 2019, a pesquisa contribuiu para ressaltar a relevância do processo avaliativo decorrente da concepção de aprendizagem como processo subjetivo que favoreceu o desenvolvimento do estudante com deficiência incluído naquela sala de aula. Evidencia-se, assim, que o processo avaliativo decorrente da concepção subjetiva da aprendizagem possibilita reconhecer e valorizar as peculiaridades do desenvolvimento de cada estudante e, dessa forma, favorece o rompimento com modelos comparativos e padronizados da avaliação tradicional.

“Decifra-me ou te devoro!” - os desafios propostos pelas diretrizes curriculares nacionais para os cursos de formação de professores e as licenciaturas em História (2002-2019)
Authors: Coelho Mauro Cezar
Published: September 2021

O artigo problematiza as diretrizes curriculares aprovadas pelo Conselho Nacional de Educação, desde o início deste século, perscrutando as determinações propostas para os percursos de formação docente. As diretrizes são confrontadas com a análise dos perfis de egressos de 75 percursos curriculares de formação de professores de História, contidos nos Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso oferecidos por instituições públicas de ensino superior. Argumentamos que as diretrizes promulgadas em 2002 e 2015 apontam a necessidade de mudanças na formação inicial, mas mantêm a matriz de formação pautada no domínio dos saberes de referência e das ciências da Educação. As diretrizes aprovadas em 2019 subvertem aquela matriz, ao conceber a formação docente como a apropriação de procedimentos necessários à implementação do currículo proposto para a Educação Básica. Nos 17 anos que separam 2002 de 2019, os cursos de licenciatura em História promoveram alterações formais que não enfrentaram as questões propostas pelas diretrizes. O artigo aponta, então, a necessidade de os cursos de formação de professores de História atentarem para a formação docente, enfrentando as questões situadas por aquele conselho, de modo a não sucumbirem ao princípio subjacente às últimas diretrizes aprovadas: a precarização das licenciaturas e da docência.

Analysis of the virtual simulation practice and high fidelity simulation practice training experience of nursing students: A mixed-methods study
Authors: Lee Eun Hye , Ryu So Young
Published: September 2021

Purpose: This study used an exploratory sequential approach (mixed methods) design to explore essential meaning through comparing and analyzing the experiences of nursing students in virtual simulation practice and high fidelity simulation practice education in parallel. Methods: The study participants were 20 nursing students, and data were collected through focus group meetings from July 17 to August 5, 2020, and via online quantitative data from November 10 to November 15, 2020. The qualitative data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological method, and the quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis H test analysis of variance and Spearman’s ρ correlation. Results: The comparison between the two simulation training experiences was shown in five contextual structures, as follows: (1) reflection of the clinical field, (2) thinking theorem vs. thinking expansion, (3) individual-centered learning vs. team-centered learning, (4) attitudes toward participating in practical training, (5) metacognition of personal competency as a prospective nurse, and (6) revisiting the method of practice training. There was a positive correlation between satisfaction with the practice and the clinical judgment ability of high fidelity simulation, which was statistically significant (r=.47, p=.036). Conclusion: Comparing the experiences between virtual simulation practice training and high fidelity simulation practice training, which has increased in demand due to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic, is meaningful as it provides practical data for introspection and reflection on in-campus clinical education.
Breastfeeding experiences of women with gestational diabetes
Authors: Park Seungmi , Yu Soo-Young
Published: September 2021

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of breastfeeding women with gestational diabetes and to understand the meaning of breastfeeding for them and its encompassing context. Methods: Qualitative data were collected by interviewing 15 mothers with gestational diabetes. The transcript data from 5 focus group interviews and 2 individual interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: A core theme and 10 sub-themes emerged. The core theme that emerged was "the maternal commitment enabled for a limited time a way to compensate for guilt." Because mothers had to control their blood sugar levels before childbirth, they were worried about whether it would harm the newborn baby and thus searched for dietary information. After the babies were born and separated from their mothers, they were free from gestational diabetes. Mothers then felt guilty about their unhealthy bodies when they were pregnant. This regret provides a motivational context for breastfeeding. However, the mothers realized that breastfeeding requires commitment and dedication and that they need breastfeeding support, such as being provided practical help. Conclusion: The results showed that the breastfeeding intention of women with gestational diabetes might originate from their feelings of guilt. Therefore, an integrated breastfeeding program that combines the empathetic support of women with similar experiences and that shares practical information from experts should be implemented in a structured and systematic way.
Area-perimeter duality in polygon spaces
Authors: Khimshiashvili Giorgi , Panina Gaiane , Siersma Dirk
Published: September 2021

Two natural foliations, guided by area and perimeter, of the configurations spaces of planar polygons are considered and the topology of their leaves is investigated in some detail. In particular, the homology groups and the homotopy type of leaves are determined. The homology groups of the spaces of polygons with fixed area and perimeter are also determined. Besides, we extend the classical isoperimetric duality to all critical points. In conclusion a few general remarks on dual extremal problems in polygon spaces and beyond are given.

Inger Sjørslev: Introduction: Indigenous

peoples in the world and in anthropology

The introduction presents the main themes of

the articles, which derrive from a workshop

held by The University of Copenhagen in cooperation

with IWGIA, The International

Workgroup for Indigenous Affairs, and the

Ethnographic Department of the National

Museum, Copenhagen. The workshop dealt

with the situation of indigenous peoples in

the globalized world and the State of current

anthropological theory in relation to the indigenous

issues, as this is presented by the „objects“

themselves within international fora,

mainly the United Nations. Other themes are

the concept of culture in relation to indigenous

societies and anthropologists’ role in

promoting the culture concept as a basis for

dealing with indigenous rights, the questions

of authenticity and reflexivity in relation to

indigenous peoples’ culture, and the professional

and ethical role of the anthropologist

in dealing with indigenous issues.
NÅR KULTUR SKAL „BEVARES" - perspektiver fra et vestindisk projekt
Authors: Olwig Karen Fog
Published: September 2021

Karen Fog Olwig: When culture is to be

„preserved“: perspectives from a West Indian

research project

At the same time as anthropology has begun

to apply a more processual perspective to the

study of culture as fluid and changing, many

of the „fourth world“ peoples studied by

anthropologists have become preoccupied

with codifying their culture in the form of

aboriginal, authentic traditions which can be

preserved from change. This concem with

cultural traditions is tied to the struggle for

human rights by indigenous people. The

concept of culture as unchanged traditions is

not only in conflict with current anthropological

thinking, it is also ill suited to the

struggles of peoples who cannot claim this

form of ancient indigenous status, but who

nevertheless share with „fourth world“

peoples the same need to defend their cultural

autonomy. Among this latter group is the

people of the Caribbean, who are indigenous

to Africa, but came to the islands as part of a

process of colonization. This article is based

upon a study of the difficulties faced by such

a non-indigenous, but nevertheless „native“

community of several centuries standing, in

their efforts to defend their cultural and economic

autonomy. In the West Indian case

modem anthropological theory and the population

studied by anthropologists need not

be in conflict.
SIDSTE PAS DE TROIS I GENÉVE: En dans for tre i FN’s saloner, hvor værten fører
Authors: Kvaale Katja
Published: September 2021

Katja Kvaale: Last pas de trois in Geneva:

a dance for three in the UN saloons

with the host leading the dance

The purpose of this article is twofold. Taking

its point of departure in empirical examples

from the 1993 Session of the United Nations

Working Group on Indigenous Populations

in Geneva, the article attempts partly to analyse

how indigenous peoples operate in the

UN system, and partly to examine how this

touches on classical anthropological notions

such as peoplehood, nationhood and culture

as distinet and continuous units. It is argued

that most of the indigenous inputs at the

UNWGIP can be heard as persistent reactions

against the member states’ questioning

their peoplehood and consequent rights to

self-determination. However, it is not the

idea to deconstruct the notion of the modem

nation State altogether, nor to imply a radical

cultural relativity, but rather to establish that

the UN is confronting a global reality somewhat

more complex than individuals and nation-

states. In stating that the right to self-determination

is separate from and prior to international

law - it has been there since time

immemorial - the indigenous representatives

are tuming the legal logic of the UN upside

down. From their perspective it is thus not

a matter of being endowed with rights from a

magnanimous UN, but rather a latecoming

making up for the wrongdoings of half a millennium.

Meanwhile, in asserting cultural

continuity and distinetiveness in their politicized

self-representation, indigenous peoples

are catching anthropology off-guard and

without foothold amidst the debris of its recently

abandoned paradigms. Ironically, in

the case of indigenous peoples the discipline

is seemingly facing the incamation of the

very notions and concepts just ditched: the

exotification of the other, the radical us/them

or West/the Rest distinetions, the Levi-

Straussian „cold“ timelessness i.e. „conservative"

rejection of modemity and development,

culture as partly reified and self-sufficient

units etc. However, rather than a morally

based rejecting attitude towards this phenomenon

the discipline would benefit from

facing the great theoretical and analytical

challenge that lies behind it. Although indigenous

peoples and anthropologists are now

operating within the same frame of reference

to a far higher degree than was the case 25

years ago, it can still prove worthwhile to distinguish

between the different levels on

which culture is dealt with at different times.

Hence, a potential clash between indigenous

politieized „authentic culture" on the one

hånd and scientific deconstruction of „true

culture" on the other can be avoided.

Lise P. Galal:... and the Honey Moon Trip

Went to a Monastery. Youth Culture and

Consumption among Copts in Cairo

A new cultural outcome of the Coptic

orthodox youth who are attempting to

integrate their cultural heritage in a modem

lifestyle is expressed in the popular trips to

the old monasteries of the Egyptian desert.

In trying to re-formulate a Coptic identity we

see a young couple who prefer the company

of their friends from the church instead of

their family at such an important occasion as

their wedding day. It seems that the church

has been successful in fulfilling the modem

desires of the young people. The trips to the

monasteries resemble this success and

satisfy not only a desire for holidays, but also

a desire for modem consumption, a style of

consumption which in modem times

becomes increasingly a sign of cultural

identity.
EN MINORITET SØGER IDENTITET: Drusisk religiøs identitet i den libanesiske offentlighed
Authors: Skovgaard-Petersen Jacob
Published: September 2021

Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen: A Minority in

Search of Identity. Druze Religions

Identity in the context of the Lebanese

Public

In recent years a number of Middle Eastem

religious minorities have been engaged in

redefinitions of their religious identities.

One of the impulses for this activity has been

the growth of Islamic movements that give

strict and narrow definitions of what

constitutes proper Islam. Another impulse

has been the growing awareness of civil and

religious rights of minorities. The Druze in

Lebanon constitute such a minority that

seeks to establish its proper identity in the

aftermath of the Lebanese civil war 1975-90

and the general upheavals in the Lebanese

national consciousness. Tracing the history

of publications about the once-so-secretive

Druze religion, the article explores the

tendency to stress an Islamic identity for the

Druze religion. This Islamization of Druze

religion became apparent in a number of

publications in the 1960s but has received a

new impetus after the end of the civil war.

Since this period more sophisticated

arguments have centered on the Sufi

character of the Druze holy writings and

defended their Islamic character along the

lines of Sufi apologetics. The article argues

that this increased sophistication and

professionalization of the agrument is partly

due to the polemics against an Islamic

identity of the Druze coming from Sunni and

Maronite thinkers, some of whom were

writing under Druze pseudonyms during the

war. It is also due to a novel understanding of

the Druze as a religious public which must

be leamt about and adapt its Islamic identity

through a public debate.

perspektivere forståelser af kulturelle og sociale sammenhænge i bestemte samfund. En

overordnet pointe er således, at studier af børn ikke blot beriges gennem antropologisk

teori og metode, men også selv har en berigende effekt på teorierne, idet de giver anledning

til en række centrale antropologiske spørgsmål om kulturel tilegnelse, normsystemer

og fællesskabers karakter og rekruttering.

SAMFUND? Durkheim revisited i Amazonas og videre
Authors: Veber Hanne
Published: September 2021

“Society” appears a difficult notion. We use

it all the time. But is it any good as an

analytical concept? Sociologists seem to

agree it is not. Few societies have the

empirical characteristics of the bounded

entity that structural-functionalist theory

assumed. Constructivist notions of society as

“imagined community” appear to be tied up

with the existence of the State or with the

spread of information technology. This

leaves contemporary anthropology with

“society” as a residue, the left-over from

culture’s gluttonous theoretical supper. Still,

social science aims to explain or understand

social relations, interactions, and the

processes by which structures and functions

are worked into social systems as implied by

the notion of society. The notion of society

allows us to assume the existence of

objective structures of order in the social life

of people. Unlike the notion of culture,

however, the notion of society has not been

critically scrutinized by anthropologists. In

contemporary Danish anthropology with its

focus on culture and cultural representations,

writers tend to simply take society for

granted as the intrinsic empirical context of

culture. From the perspective of Durkheimian

notions of “the social”, the paper

provides a brief review of interpretations that

retrospectively have appeared analytical

dead-ends. The author goes on to suggest that

the notion of “symbolically generalized

media of communication” may offer a

productive opening that embraces both sides

of the culture/society dichotomy in the

search for structured systems of social

existence whether subjectively or

objectively conceived. The idea of

“symbolically generalized media or

communication” was originally formulated

by Talcott Parsons and subsequently

reworked by German sociologist Niklas

Luhmann. Rather than an interrelated series

of parts that make up a whole plus something

else in the classic Durkheimian sense,

society from this perspective appears in the

form of structured sets of actions oriented by

a horizon of possibilities and expectations,

symbolically constituted, yet always

provisional and emergent. Inspired by

analyses of two different cases in Amazonian

research the paper offers a brief hint at how

the notion may be employed in

anthropology.

DEN OPLØSTE SAMLING OG DEN MAGISKE MATERIE
Authors: Sjørslev Inger
Published: September 2021

collecting objects related to magic rituals in

Brazil for the Department of Ethnography of

the Danish National Museum, the article deals

with the different conditions in which objects

are found, and how they are embedded in

their social context as well as in the context

of the museum collection. The metaphors of

wet and dry are used to characterize the –

paradoxical – social killing – or “drying” –of the objects, when they enter the museum

and are made permanent, and in principle,

eternal through conservation. In Denmark,

moreover, the de-accession of museum

objects is virtually non existent, aside

from the cases in which cultural property

is repatriated. “Wet” objects are objects in

social circulation. Likewise objects can be

said to be wet when they are used in magic

rituals, and where it is their role and fate to

be destroyed and dissolved as, for instance,

in order to cleanse the person for whom the

ritual is performed. “Dry” objects are the

permanent, de-socialised museum pieces,

for which dissolution is prevented through

the institution of conservation. The article

includes some reflections on Marcel Mauss’

concept of hau as attached to exchange

objects. Finally, the article questions whether

museum objects, as objects within a global

system of exchange, possess anything that

bears relation to related to Mauss’ hau.
STATENS MUSEUM FOR KUNST: Et museum for kunsthistorien og samtidskunsten
Authors: Petersen Vibeke
Published: September 2021

Statens Museum for Kunst is now one of the

few art museums in Europe where collections

of art from the 14th century to the present

day are kept together. However, the need for

an expansion of the exhibition area became

increasingly urgent, and a wing was added

to the museum in 1996. The article’s title

indicates, therefore, the framework for the

wide field of art covered by the museum. It is

relevant to take a closer look at the historical

basis for this combination within visual

art. Two important players come to mind:

Diderot, French art critic and philosopher

of the Enlightenment, and in Denmark the

art historian Julius Lange. Diderot advanced

the idea that contemporary art should be part

of the “modern” public museum. If any one

person deserves the credited for legitimizing

contemporary art as an important category

in itself, it is Denis Diderot, for he made

the claim the con-temporary art be taken as

seriously as was the art of the past. Lange

played a leading part in Danish artistic life.

His aim to make explicit the criteria for

obtaining optimum presentation of the art

collections at Statens Museum for Kunst

resulted in heated discussions. They have

had a decisive influence in Denmark on the

ongoing discussions of the importance of contemporary

art seen in relation to museums

and art history, and on the presentation of art

collections and, not least, on what they should

represent. In the end of the 20th century the

concept of representation has had a dramatic

revival. For an insightful con-tribution to this

movement, the article points to the American

art historian Donald Preziosi’s discussion of

the relation between the “modern” public

museum and the con-cept of representation.

Haunted discusses experiences of ghosts in houses that are used as homes. Most

of the experiences in the study take place in contemporary Denmark. The many

ghost stories that are part of an ethnographic research project are connected to

the spatial and material conditions under which they take place. The article suggests

connections between the extra-material and the material-spatial register, e.g.

perceptions of the home as a cell and a fi lter, of territoriality and property right,

connectedness to places and hyper-transmission. The article suggests haunting

as a state of emergency, where categories such as time and space are being transgressed:

categories that are normally understood as fi xed or discrete. Through

Freud’s concept Das Unheimliche and the spatial conditions under which it is

experienced, and through Derrida’s concept Spectre and its deconstructive displacements,

the article sketches out an analytical framework for articulating these

strange experiences that seem to go beyond reason.

Keywords: Haunted houses, space, extra-materiality, Denmark.

TIL KONSULTATION HOS ÅNDERNE: Om klarsyn, energier og magi i Danmark
Authors: Steffen Vibeke
Published: September 2021

There is a long-standing anthropological tradition of studies where the concept

of magic is related to crisis and the re-establishment of order, whether on a

social or an individual level. The risk of this approach, however, is that we may

mistake the intention with magic for its result, and thus overestimate the role of

crisis, the management of problems and the construction of meaning. This article

demonstrates that instead of providing answers and solutions, the engagement with

magic may just as well open up for new questions and new problems. The subject

of the study is spiritualism and second sight as practised in contemporary Danish

society primarily by women. In this context, magic is not necessarily something

extraordinary that people turn to when facing severe trouble, but rather a way of

dealing with social relations in everyday life. My approach is inspired by Evans-

Pritchard’s classic work on witchcraft, oracles and magic among the Azande in

the sense that the concept of magic forms only one leg in a triangle with energies

and second sight as the other two. Second sight is provided by mediums passing

on messages from deceased relatives or other spirits at platform demonstrations

or in private consultations. The messages often deal with distance and proximity

in social relations and how to protect yourself against feelings of being drained of

energy or invaded by other human or spiritual beings. The term energy provides a

sense of physical reality to these otherwise subtle feelings and makes it possible

to deal with them in concrete situations through spells, invocations, and other

kinds of magic manipulation.

Keywords: Spiritism, social relations, the boundaries of self , women.

Tavshed og tale i krig og fred: Om torturofre og vold mod kvinder
Authors: Danneskiold-Samsøe Sofie
Published: September 2021

Artiklen omhandler forholdet mellem tale om statens vold på den ene side og tavshed om vold mod kvinder i familien på den anden. Den stiller spørgsmålene: Er der former for statslig vold, der ikke omtales, og er det i visse tilfælde muligt at tale åbent om vold i familien? Artiklen diskuterer desuden, hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger henholdsvis tavshed og tale giver kvinder og mænd for at bryde med volden og udfordre udøverne af den. Diskussionen tager udgangspunkt i fire irakiske kvinder bosat i Danmark. Alle fire er eller har været gift med irakiske mænd, der har været udsat for tortur i Irak under Baath-styrets regering, og alle fire kvinder er eller har været udsat for vold fra deres mænd. De har altså erfaring med både statens vold og med den private vold i hjemmet. Artiklen konkluderer, at den vold, der finder sted i hjemmet, som regel ikke udtrykkes eksplicit, mens erfaringer med statens vold formidles i mange sociale sammenhænge. Det kan dog ske, at private og kønnede erfaringer med statens vold forties. Det kan også ske, at vold i hjemmet omtales åbent, hvis volden beskrives som et afledt resultat af statens vold med henvisning til, at manden udøver vold som følge af sine traumer fra tortur. Hvordan ofre for vold får stemme, har konsekvenser for deres handlemuligheder og for, hvordan man kan tænke løsninger og veje ud af volden. Søgeord: tavshed, italesættelse, torturofre, vold mod kvinder, Irak, køn This article addresses the relationship between talking about state violence on the one hand and the silencing of domestic violence against women on the other hand. It asks the questions: What kinds of state violence are not talked about, and is it in some cases possible to talk openly about domestic violence? The article also discusses the opportunities and constraints of silence and speech that allow women and men to break the violence and challenge perpetrators. The discussion is based on fieldwork among and interviews with four Iraqi women living in Denmark. The four women are married to or have been married to Iraqi men who have been tortured in Iraq under the Baath regime, and the women are being or have been abused by their husbands. Therefore they have experienced both state violence and domestic violence. The article concludes that the violence that takes place in the home is usually not expressed explicitly, while the experience of state violence is communicated in many social contexts. Private and gendered experiences of state violence may be silenced. It may also be the case that domestic violence is referred to openly in cases where a man’s violence is described as being a result of state violence because trauma resulting from torture makes the victim commit violence himself. The way victims of violence gain voice has implications for possible action and how to think about ways out of violence.Keywords: Silence, speech, torture, violence against women, Iraq, gender

I anledning af udgivelsen af sin bog This Side of Silence. Human Rights, Torture, and the Recognition of Cruelty besøgte den britiske antropolog Tobias Kelly København i maj 2012. Mellem boglancering og videnskabelige seminarer mødte jeg Tobias Kelly på Rehabiliterings- og Forskningscenter for Torturofre i København til interview om det, der siges, men ingen hører, på baggrund af etnografisk feltarbejde blandt fagfolk i det britiske asylsystem.
