Opin vísindi
Opin vísindi er varðveislusafn vísindaefnis og doktorsritgerða í opnum aðgangi á vegum íslenskra háskóla og Landsbókasafns Íslands - Háskólabókasafns.
Opinn aðgangur að rannsóknaniðurstöðum er í samræmi við 10. gr. laga nr. 3/2003 um opinberan stuðning við vísindarannsóknir sem og kröfur innlendra og erlendra rannsóknasjóða. Markmiðið með opnum aðgangi er að niðurstöður rannsókna séu aðgengilegar sem flestum óhindrað og án endurgjalds á rafrænu formi. Vistun í varðveislusafninu er varanleg og ætlað að tryggja aðgang að vísindaefni íslenskra háskóla í opnum aðgangi um ókomna tíð. Varðveislusafnið Opin vísindi er tengt við rannsóknagáttina IRIS og rannsóknaniðurstöður í opnum aðgangi sem eru skráðar í IRIS eru um leið vistaðar og gerðar aðgengilegar til framtíðar í varðveislusafninu. Með því að safna þessu efni saman í eitt safn verður aðgangur að því einfaldur og þægilegur fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér það og geta þannig notið þess öfluga vísindastarfs sem fram fer í háskólum landsins.
Varðveislusafnið er OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus samhæft og samrýmist kröfum sem gerðar eru um birtingu rannsóknaniðurstaðna úr verkefnum sem styrkt eru úr evrópsku rannsóknaáætlununum FP7 og H2020.

Af usla og árekstrum : Sálgreining í ljósi hinsegin fræða
(2017) Bragadóttir, Guðrún Elsa
In recent decades, important rereading of canonical psychoanalytic texts has taken place within the fields of both psychoanalysis and queer theory. This work started with Judith Butler’s seminal book, Gender Trouble, where she begins her project of revising psychoanalytic theory from a queer perspective. This article explores the ways Butler draws on psychoanalysis in her works, mainly the theories of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, and discusses the critique put forward by psychoanalytic scholars such as Tim Dean, Patricia Gherovici and Shanna Carlson. The question driving the article is how psychoanalysis is, or can be, important for queer theory and vice versa. This question is addressed in the context of Butler’s works and the scholarship it has given rise to, which has provided a variety of possibilities for thinking about psychoanalysis in a queer world.
‚Að kjósa að sleppa því‘ : Olíuleit, aðgerðaleysi og hinsegin möguleikar
(2016) Bragadóttir, Guðrún Elsa
In recent years, environmentalists have become increasingly vocal in pleas ‘not to’ directed at governments and members of various industries, who are not only capable of actualizing plans that would involve great CO2 emissions, but would also profit immensely from doing so. This article discusses these anti-capitalist demands for inaction in the context of the search for oil currently being conducted in the Dreki region out of Iceland’s north coast. Even though it did not meet much opposition from political parties, individuals and groups alike proposed that the government did not proceed with their plans to search for oil, often citing the latest and most accurate scientific research on climate change and the part oil plays in acerbating the problem. Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s concept of potentiality will be explored to show the importance of ‘inaction’ in the Dreki region, which goes against neoliberal, capitalist logics of profit and growth. Asking corporations and governments to suspend their short-term goals of accumulating profit is asking them to fail when it comes to accomplishing the goals of normative, capitalist society. The power of those goals becomes apparent when analyzing the problem of global warming, as well as its causes, is not enough to cause us to react. In response to this problem, the final part of the article will discuss Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick writings on what theory can do to affect the world, as well as J. Jack Halberstam’s ideas on the importance of ‘failure’ within a heteronormative framework that does more harm than good.
Attention in the crowd: probing ensemble perception attentional dependencies
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Psychology, 2025-11-25) Lukashevich, Anton; Heida Maria Sigurdardottir; Sálfræðideild (HÍ); Department of Psychology (UI); Heilbrigðisvísindasvið (HÍ); School of Health Sciences (UI)
Ensemble perception enables the rapid extraction of summary statistics from visual scenes, bypassing capacity limitations, but its dependence on attention remains debated. This thesis investigates whether ensemble processing operates automatically or requires attentional resources, focusing on low- and mid-level features like orientation and length, through three studies combining behavioural paradigms and electroencephalography (EEG).Paper I examined automatic detection of ensemble mean orientation changes using visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) in oddball tasks. Attended changes elicited P3 component, but unattended changes produced no vMMN, indicating no pre-attentive processing. Paper II tested automatic parsing of spatially intermixed objects into categories based on feature distributions. vMMN emerged for length-based segmentation but not orientation alone, suggesting feature-specific automaticity. Paper III manipulated spatial attention via Posner cueing; ensemble orientation judgments dropped to chance on invalid cues, unlike single items, confirming attention's necessity.Overall, findings demonstrate that ensemble perception is not fully automatic, particularly for orientation, requiring spatial and selective attention for accurate extraction. Implications extend to visual cognition theories, emphasizing attention's gating role in summary statistics processing.
The Devil's in the Detail: Diabolical Names in the Icelandic Place-Name Record
(2025-09) Lethbridge, Emily
In this article, Icelandic placenames associated with the Devil or demons are surveyed and discussed. 20thcentury placename records (örnefnalýsingar) that are now searchable and accessible online via nafnið.is comprise the primary source materials. Ultimately, the article seeks to show how minor names or microtoponyms can illustrate ways in which the everyday landscape of Icelanders in past times was marked or inflected informally by religious beliefs or ideas associated with the Devil, or evil spirits of one or another kind, at local, regional and national levels.
Proceedings of the 14th Háskóli Íslands Student Conference on the Medieval North (Reykjavík, April 11th-13th, 2025) Other Things
(Miðaldastofa Háskóla Íslands — University of Iceland Centre for Medieval Studies, 2025-09-12) Arnot, Brooklyn Frances; Fisher, Colin; Nuutinen, Essi; Loidl, Emilia; Menjivar, Julian ; Barruezo-Vaquero, Pablo; School of Humanities
The Háskóli Islands Conference for the Medieval North began in 2011 and has since then endeavoured to amplify the voices of upcoming scholars, primarily studying at a master's or doctoral level. This mission has facilitated the sharing of fresh and exciting scholarship over the past fourteen years, from voices which are new in Old Norse Scholarship, as well as from countries which are often underrepresented in the field. The mission of the conference has therefore always been focused on the peripheries of scholarship, a concept we decided to amplify with this year's theme, Other Things. The topics from this conference covered marginalised groups such as ethnic minorities, women, queer people, and the economically oppressed. Not only did it focus on other identities, but the subject of this year's conference invited its participants to consider other things. This could be taken in the broad sense of anything yet also pushed participants to consider the marginal nature of the material world. We, as humans, tend to consider the material world as secondary to the human, meaning the physical world and our environment is pushed aside as irrelevant. This conference has invited its participants to push against this tendency, by centralising the material and natural world.
