The professional project of graphic designers and universities' visual identities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-19)Contrary to earlier research on why universities change their visual identities from traditional to more abstract ones, resting on a demand-side approach, we offer an explanation based on a supply-side approach.

Modernitet og modernitetskritikk i Emils Durkheims sosiologi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-07)Durkheims forhold til det moderne er preget av ambivalens. Han er kollektivist/holist når det gjelder sosiologiske forklaringer. Samfunnet er en egen realitet og en kraft som påvirker individenes tankeliv, følelser og motiver, om enn ikke i alle detaljer. Men selv om han er metodologisk kollektivist, er det ikke nødvendigvis slik at han også er kollektivist når det gjelder politiske og moralske ... -
