Verk ‘How Did This Happen?’: Making Retrospective, Present and Prospective Sense of Intimate Relationships Where Men Have Been Violent(Lectito BV, 2023-03-01) Ólafsdóttir, Katrín; Hearn, Jeff; Menntavísindasvið (HÍ); School of Education (UI)In seeking to explain intimate partner violence (IPV), feminist research has shifted its focus from individual explanations to the social contexts of such violence. Adopting such a perspective, we explore the narratives of three men who identify as perpetrators of violence and three women who identify as victims/survivors of IPV. Our analyses focus on how the participants present their relationships, employing the notion of affective – discursive practices as informing, at times constituting, the participants’ experiences. Their stories are characterised by a chronological line – retrospective, present and prospective. Their understandings change in framing their experiences, with the relationships themselves becoming affective–discursive practices, albeit figuring differently in the participants’ stories across time. Our findings also underline the significance of shame as a regulatory mechanism sustaining heteronormative practices.Verk Access and Curation of Digital Cultural Heritage in the National and University Library of Iceland(De Gruyter, 2012-12) Sverrisdóttir, Ingibjörg Steinunn; Sigurðsson, Kristinn; Hrafnkelsson, ÖrnThe National Library of Iceland (established 1818) and the Library of the University of Iceland (established 1940) were amalgamated in 1994 as the National and University Library of Iceland (NULI). When the changes occurred, an opportunity to transform operations and services opened. It was done by rationalizing and modernizing the functions of the two libraries in a new building and developing new strategies and priorities (Sigurðsson 2000). Since then the mission of the Library has been to serve the users in a new way. Access has been given to both primary and secondary sources within the collections, sources which sometimes are unique or the only exemplars known. It was decided to aim for the use of the newest technology available and to initiate the development of a digital library, even though it would be small in the beginning. This required periods of learning and experiments on behalf of the staff, but knowledge in the field started to accumulate (Hannesdóttir 2005).
