Emotions are prominent in the construction of notions of citizenship. A good liberal-democratic citizen, for instance, cares about others, copes with differences and trusts the political system (Zembylas 2013). Increasing political polarization challenges teachers to prepare youth as citizens who can navigate ideological and affective boundaries (Keegan, 2021). More specifically, emotions play an

Regionaliseringsprosesser og politisk regionalisme har over lengre tid blitt sentrale temaer i akademiske debatter om nasjonalstaters re-skalering og den såkalte misnøyens geografi. Lignende dynamikker er også til stede i Norge, hvor regionreformen som ble gjennomført i 2020 møtte motstand langs sentrum-periferi-linjer. Slike fenomener stiller spørsmål om hvordan ulike aktører bidrar til regionersRegionalisation processes and regionalist contestation have been the subjects of long-standing debates on state rescaling and political geographies of discontent. Similar dynamics are also present in Norway, where a recent regional reform has faced opposition along centre-periphery lines. These phenomena raise questions about how different actors discursively enact the institutionalisation and/or

This thesis studies the process and products of migratory self-adaptation: the practice of a migrant author recreating their own work in a new medium, and the baggage it brings with itself. Migratory self-adaptation is developed and analyzed in this research through a comparative and processual analysis of two cases of adaptation: Persepolis, a French autobiographical graphic novel written and dra

In John within Judaism, Wally V. Cirafesi offers a reading of the Gospel of John as an expression of the fluid and flexible nature of Jewish identity in Greco-Roman antiquity. While many have noted John’s general Jewishness, few have given it a seat at the ideologically congested table of ancient Jewish practice and belief.By interrogating the concept of “Judaism” in relation to the complex catego

In this book, I explore the history of Jews and Christians in ancient Capernaum from the time of Jesus to the Byzantine-Islamic transition in Palestine. The book investigates diachronically and contextually the dynamics of social change at work in the village through study of both literary and archaeological data. It explores how a predominately Jewish village in the first century gradually transf

Wir argumentieren, dass (1) in der Verwendung des Begriffs, um über die Gospel Tradition zu sprechen, zog Justin von der anerkannten sozialen und historiographischen Wert geschrieben Erinnerungen in der

This article surveys and evaluates the most influential approaches to the Johannine community debate, beginning with Martyn’s 1968 study to the more recent work of Bauckham and Klink. The survey divides these approaches into three main categories: (1) studies in the historical-critical stream (mostly from the late 1960s–1970s), (2) sociological studies and (3) studies that have departed from the c

This article is a response to Steven Enderlein on the translation of Rom 3:23 and its implications for the πίστις Χριστοῦ debate. While affirming Enderlein's suggestion that the verb ὑστερέω is better understood as “lack” rather than “fall short,” we argue against his conclusions (1) that this translation leads to a subjective genitive reading of πίστις Χριστοῦ in Rom 3:22, 26; and (2) that the ve

The highly infectious disease COVID-19 caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 poses a severe threat to humanity and demands the redirection of scientific efforts and criteria to organized research projects. The international COVID19-NMR consortium seeks to provide such new approaches by gathering scientific expertise worldwide. In particular, making available viral proteins and RNAs will pave th

SARS-CoV-2 (SCoV2) and its variants of concern pose serious challenges to the public health. The variants increased challenges to vaccines, thus necessitating for development of new intervention strategies including anti-virals. Within the international Covid19-NMR consortium, we have identified binders targeting the RNA genome of SCoV2. We established protocols for the production and NMR characte
