time loophole to summon the past and future to aid in facing the
Anthropocene. We journeyed into a space where the inside is outside,
the underground is above ground, and intelligence is exhaled into the
air. In these waves of time, we encountered living walls and holes,
moving minerals, invisible sheep, carbon slowly being absorbed, decomposing bodies, transmitted hormones, opening and closing stomata, and winged giants both dead and alive. Washed up by life-supporting cycles, the atmosphere, soil, and water-touched skins, signals were received in dreams.

This means that Iceland is involved in and affected by different forms of exchange and flows of ideas, capital, objects and people: emigration, immigration; involving foreign workers, refugees, human trafficking, business trips, educational and cultural transfer, and tourism.

This edited volume brings together researchers focusing on Icelandic society from the per- spective of mobility and transnational connections. The chapters are based on inter- disciplinary research bringing in different ways highlighting the complex implications of mobilities and transnationalism for the Icelandic state, institutions, society and culture..

"I found Death and Governmentality to be compelling from beginning to end. Well-written, clearly argued, and historically situated, the book takes on the subject of grief and death in the context of recent socio-economic shifts in Iceland. The book is a wonderful achievement, taking on a subject that is at once timely and important, and giving it a treatment that is theoretically and ethnographically sound."

Anne Allison, Professor at Duke University.

In this timely book Hafsteinsson portrays some of the aesthetic, political, moral, social and cultural significance of the unique and internationally famous Icelandic Phallological Museum. The book argues that the museum both ridicules and undermines traditions in Western cultures, when it comes to the nature of histories, scholarly fields and cultural institutions, simultaneosly offering an alternative in knowledge production and cultural representation by focusing on and displaying the highly sensitive subject of penises.

"Packed with fascinating insights into Icelandic culture and museums written by a true insider in a strongly humorous tone, there is much to enjoy in this book for both the academic reader and those wishing for a more lighthearted read." Dorian Robert Heaton Knight, Nordisk Museologi, 2/2014.

"The Phallological Museum offers a compelling analysis of the multiple intersections of the Icelandic neoliberal state and the country’s “cultural industries” during a time of dramatic
economic and government changes." John Bodinger de Uriarte. Museum Anthropology Review, 9/2 2014

"This timely book examines the media practices of the first indigenous national television networ... more "This timely book examines the media practices of the first indigenous national television network in the world, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) in Canada. Scholarship on indigenous media often focuses on its role as an organizing mechanism that responds to a diverse range of social, cultural, economic and spiritual needs. Yet scholars often theorize indigenous media in relation to Western/global notions of space, communication, and social and cultural politics, rather than indigenous voices and concerns. APTN, in contrast, illustrates that media is part of a larger democratic exercise with deep roots in Canadian indigenous cultures. Using two years of ethnographic research, this work examines the personal and collective vision of indigenous media workers at APTN. Their personal and group experiences reflect the importance of emotions and values to indigenous media policy and practice, including respect, cultural protection, diversity and universal human rights. These are deeply local but transnational democratic practices that give voice to sovereignty movements and labour devoted to the establishment of a new indigenous social order.

The course was designed to reach out to a wide audience of participants, starting from professionals in the health sector and museums, university teachers and students from art and humanistic studies. The main objective is to promote an innovative strategy for social inclusion derived from the creation of a new teaching methodology, the use of digital tools and based on the development of transversal competences to foster well-being, health, and social inclusion. To assess the feedback of the participants on the design and development of the course, as well as information on their profile, pre-and postcourse surveys have been designed to gather the necessary data to reach the objectives of a research study. The initial results are presented here along with the instructional design of the pilot course and its syllabus.

The eruption began unexpectedly at 1:50 a.m. on the 23rd of January 1973, creating a need to evacuate all 5300 residents to the Icelandic mainland by fishing fleet. The eruption is synonymous with the islanders’ fight to save their town by spraying cold seawater onto the advancing lava flows. Previous research has focussed on the physical volcanology and igneous petrology of the eruption and the wider Vestmannaeyjar Volcanic System; however, very little research has focussed on the social impacts of the eruption. Fieldwork identified how the 1973 eruption is remembered and commemorated by the residents of Heimaey both in public and private settings. Over 50 memorials are discussed, including artworks, sculptures, museum exhibitions, in-person events, and online digital repositories that highlight connections to the eruption itself and to life before the eruption. Interviews and surveys with the local community draw attention to the ongoing impacts of the eruption—for example, traumatic responses to hazard events such as the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010. A predominantly positive community narrative of the event has persisted for several decades. The narrative depends on the belief that no deaths were caused by the eruption, the successful rebuilding and recovery of the town, and the resilience of the residents. The last ten years, however, have seen a change in how the community discuss their experiences of the eruption, with a new focus on the loneliness, bullying, isolation, danger, and trauma experienced during the event.

Ágrip

Árið 2023 voru 50 ár liðin frá Eldfellsgosinu 1973 á Heimaey. Eldgosið hófst óvænt klukkan 01.50 þann 23. janúar 1973 og þurfti að flytja 5.300 íbúana til Íslands með fiskiskipaflota. Eldgosið er samheiti við baráttu eyjarskeggja við að bjarga bænum sínum með því að úða köldum sjó á hraunið. Fyrri rannsóknir hafa beinst að eðlisfræðilegri eldfjallafræði og bergfræði gossins og víðara eldfjallakerfi Vestmannaeyja, hins vegar hafa mjög litlar rannsóknir beinst að félagslegum áhrifum gossins. Vettvangsvinna leiddi í ljós hvernig eldgosið 1973 er minnst og minnst af íbúum Heimaeyjar bæði í opinberu umhverfi og einkaumhverfi. Fjallað er um yfir 50 minnisvarða, þar á meðal listaverk, skúlptúra, safnsýningar, persónulega viðburði og stafrænar geymslur á netinu sem draga fram tengingar við eldgosið sjálft og lífið fyrir gos. Í viðtölum og könnunum við nærsamfélagið er vakin athygli á viðvarandi áhrifum eldgossins, til dæmis áfallaviðbrögðum við hættulegum atburðum nútímans eins og Eyjafjallajökulsgosinu 2010. Aðallega jákvæð samfélagsfrásögn af atburðinum hefur verið viðvarandi í nokkra áratugi. Frásögnin byggist á þeirri trú að engin dauðsföll hafi orðið af völdum eldgossins, árangursríkri endurreisn og endurheimt bæjarins og seiglu íbúanna. Síðustu tíu ár hafa hins vegar orðið róttækar breytingar á því hvernig samfélagið fjallar um upplifun sína af eldgosinu, með nýrri áherslu á einmanaleika, einelti, einangrun, hættu og áföll sem urðu fyrir atburðinum.

First, we define the concepts of corrupt and difficult architecture and address their relationship to the discussion of heritage. We assert that this theoretical discussion is highly applicable as regards turf houses, plans for their eradication and measures to protect and preserve them. Next,we examine general attitudes towards turf buildings and several public campaigns to eradicate them, whereby turf is defined as an obstacle to cultural and social progress. Finally, we explore public measures to protect the Icelandic turf house, focusing mainly on the efforts of the National Museum of Iceland, which has a leading role in policy development and conservation of Icelandic architectural heritage.

Death and Events International Perspectives on Events Marking the End of Life, 2021

This paper has its point of departure in tensions around the ‘event’ in two distinct, if related ... more This paper has its point of departure in tensions around the ‘event’ in two distinct, if related literatures. One: the long-standing insistence evident in social scientific studies of death, going back to Hertz and Durkheim, to think of death as a lengthy social process and to do so against a modern, western, medico-legal emphasis on death as a biological event. This is tension made all the more palpable with the development of cadaver organ transplantation that necessitated the deliberate muddying around the notion of death, specifically death as a single event. Two: two related and ongoing debates in trauma studies that both relate to the notion of the event. On one hand is a debate around whether trauma should be regarded always as the result of specific events, or if trauma should be extended to cover consequences of ongoing systematic processes. On the other hand, is a debate around whether trauma should be regarded always as the result of an external event, or if trauma can be linked to fantasies and the memory of events, rather than only the event as such. Underlying different positions in these debates are different assumptions about the human being, the individual, social relations and about death. It is these assumptions that this paper seeks to investigate. It will do so by relating ethnographic material on natural disasters in Iceland and the perceptions of and reactions to those disasters. Here, careful attention will be given to the language used locally to discuss disaster. The disasters have been linked with trauma, and have been represented as singular events that variously must not, or should not, be repeated even as they evoke memories of earlier events. Interrogating them thus is an opportunity to reflect on death, trauma and the event

Thanatos, 2020

Many have argued that contemporary western societies, broadly conceived, are moving towards a gre... more Many have argued that contemporary western societies, broadly conceived, are moving towards a greater openness towards death and the public display of grief. While this development does perhaps not constitute a return to the “tame death” that Ariès spoke of, it certainly points to a situation at some remove from the “taboo” around death, the “wild death” that Gorer (1965) and Ariès (1974a; 1974b), respectively, argued had overtaken “modern” western societies. The point has been made, that examples of this new (alleged) openness towards death, include the emerging possibilities to mourn losses that until recently remained hidden. In many contemporary western contexts, for example, aborted foetuses and stillborn babies, that not so long ago would have been disposed of privately, are now publicly mourned. Similarly, pets, whose non-humanity until recently removed them from processes of public mourning, are now legitimate objects of the public expression of grief. In this paper we focus on the mourning of the glacier Ok in Iceland, as an example of how this trend is now extending to the loss of natural phenomena. Drawing on Cunsolo Willox’s work and bringing together the recent literature on the more-than-human and the new materialisms, on one hand, and literature that speaks of the links between “modernity”, mourning and loss, on the other, we ask if the trends hinted at above signal a change, a rupture, or the continuation of mourning that has always been part of the modernity experience.

We argue that formal museum organizational structures, the informal, and experiences of museum workers should be intertwined. We also argue that the influence of museum educators on shaping policies is relevant. Formal organizational structures in museums should be acknowledged and systematically embedded in the shaping and governance of sustainable museum education practices if museums are to succeed as learning institutions. We contend that museum organizational structures disempower the development of museum education as a profession, serving other purposes more rigorously. We interviewed twelve museum staff members for this paper. They all worked at the Reykjavík Art Museum’s (RAM) education department as full-time and/or part-time employees from 1991 to 2018. Multiple meetings with the participants occurred from June 2011 until June 2018, resulting in twenty semi-structured interviews.

Turner defined the frontier as "the outer edge of the wavethe meeting point between savagery and civilization." (Turner 1999(Turner [1894:19) and the protagonists of this wave were the farmers who settled in the 'free land' of the West. Turner did not see explorers, fur trappers, railroad builders, or town dwellers as major protagonists in this westward movement although they were inevitable part of it. (Etulain 1999:5) To Turner the frontier experience meant "the physical movement of European settlers across American continent" (ibid) and it was this experience that came to a close in the 1890s, as all farmable land had been claimed in he West.

Baldvinsson, hvöttu til umraeðu um skýrsluna sem þeir unnu fyrir LHÍ. Eftir því sem ég best veit urðu fáir við þeirri áskorun, fyrir utan mig og Önnu Th. Rögnvaldsdóttur, sem birti á bloggsíðu sinni umfjöllun um málið (sjá: https://annatheodora.wordpress.com/2007/04/28/um-kvikmyndanam-ahaskolastigi-framhald/). Ég birti athugasemdir mínar á síðunni www.logs.is, sem er ekki lengur lesanleg á netinu. Ég hef ekki vitneskju um það í dag (2012) hvort að skýrslan sé enn aðgengileg á heimasíðu LHÍ.
