Hans Kjetil Lysgård was elected Prorector for the period 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2027.

As Prorector, Lysgård leads UiA’s strategic development of research and academic and artistic development work. He is the senior manager of the research programmes at UiA and works to promote academic and professional excellence. He is also central in the development of annual as well as long-term research plans and presents these to the University Board.

He is particularly central to interdisciplinary projects in research and teaching and strives to make UiA a preferred research and education partner internationally.

Lysgård’s goal is that systematic and targeted development of UiA’s interdisciplinary projects will help solve the complex challenges of the future and create an inspiring academic environment of high quality. One goal is to include the UN Sustainable Development Goals in UiA’s research activities, both to help solve one of our time’s most serious challenges, but also to serve as good principles to guide our research, methodology and dissemination efforts.

In keeping with the action plan for equal opportunities, inclusion and diversity, he is particularly interested in achieving UiA’s goal that all staff and students be equally respected, that they get equal treatment as individuals and have the same opportunities to use their abilities and skills irrespective of gender, ethnicity, disability, faith, age, or sexual orientation.

During his career at UiA, Lysgård has been occupied with teaching and research on all levels. He has participated in launching and developing a number of programmes on bachelor’s, master’s and PhD level, several of them being interdisciplinary and crossing faculty lines. Lysgård has also held various management roles and positions at UiA: like head of department, programme coordinator, faculty board representative, and member of the Appeals Committee. He has also participated actively in external committees on behalf of municipalities, counties, regional councils, and business clusters in the region.

His research focuses on regionalisation processes, the regional development of cities and rural places, and planning - focusing particularly on strategic city and regional development. Over the last years, his research has primarily focused on the construction of culture-led policies in the space between the rural, the urban and the regional levels.

Lysgård was professor of human geography at the Department of Global Development and Planning until he became vice rector. He has previously worked at NTNU and Agderforskning/NORCE both as senior researcher and head of research. Lysgård has a Dr. Polit./PhD from NTNU from 2001.

Global climate and energy security concerns are fuelling energy transition policies at all levels globally. However, the deployment of energy transitions spurs contestations among diverse and competing economic, sociocultural and environmental interests and values. Insufficient attention has been given to understanding the value judgements and moral basis underlying claims of justice in energy development. This paper applies the theory on justification developed by Boltanski and Thévenot to analyse Norwegian policy trajectories and emerging critical moments of contestation related to wind power development over the past 35 years. Energy conflicts generate controversies of justifications between different understandings of “the common good” and “just” transitions. The analysis depicts how national and local actors draw on different orders of worth to justify, critique and legitimize certain energy policy trajectories. Increasing public controversies create moments of critique that destabilize policies and further new alignments of justifications to legitimize wind power development. Thus, energy policy justifications are stabilized and destabilized by a range of actors, discourses and contextual conditions influenced by understandings of energy history, current needs and future aspirations. This analytical approach contributes to understanding normative controversies of energy justifications and delegitimizations of energy policy changes over time at different scales.

In this paper, we raise a question regarding how transnational students develop their spaces as mobile, temporary, and at times stable and territorially fixed. We argue that approaching transnational student migration and its relations to place as a Deleuzian assemblage is a fruitful way of highlighting this issue, and we propose the axes of the expressive/material and territorialisation/de-territorialisation as analytical tools for understanding aspects of the temporal and spatial dimensions of transnational student mobility. Our theoretical discussion is informed by the migration experiences of transnational students studying at a Norwegian university. Our core argument is that transnational student mobility should be approached as a complex process in which links to places in the student’s past, present and future dissolve the linear notion of causality and in which new notions of the relations between proximity and distance challenge ideas regarding the power relations embedded in a geometrical space.

I denne vitenskapelige antologien formidler en rekke samfunnsforskere forskningsbasert kunnskap om lokalsamfunn, hva et lokalsamfunn kan være og hvilken rolle det spiller. Lokalsamfunn representerer både endring og stabilitet og kapitlene presenterer ulike tematiske innfallsvinkler til lokalsamfunn som fenomen. De viser hvordan lokalsamfunn har betydning for sosialt liv, identitet, kultur og lokal utvikling. Sentrale spørsmål er hvilken rolle globalisering og ulike former for mobilitet, organisasjoner og institusjoner spiller for konstruksjon av og endring og nyorientering i lokalsamfunn og hvordan ulike typer lokalsamfunn oppleves av ulike personer eller grupper. Boka henvender seg til studenter og forskere i samfunnsvitenskapelige fag, fagpersoner innen planlegging og forvaltning og til alle som er opptatt av og interessert i spørsmål som berører lokalsamfunn i bygd og by.

Two competing discourses emerge from a careful reading of parliamentary debates in Norway on rural development. One regards rural values as intrinsic, while the other regards the rural as an actor in a play about economic growth. The ¿growth¿ discourse has economic growth as its nodal point and focuses on the freedom of an individual to establish a business wherever he or she wishes, and to migrate to any preferred destination. The ¿intrinsic value¿ discourse places the value of rural settlements and cultures as its nodal point and focuses on allegedly forced migration, a nature-based economy, and local freedom of action. During the neoliberal period, starting about 1980 the strength of the intrinsic value discourse has been increasingly displaced by the growth discourse. The latter seems to match general social changes such as neoliberalism and globalization more than the former. However, analysing the fight between these two discourses is not exhaustive. A broader analytic perspective is needed if we want to understand the logic of how the meaning of rurality comes about. The meaning of rurality in Norwegian politics is made through the way the competing discourses link up to ¿nondiscursive¿ topics that originate and evolve outside the discourses on Norwegian rural politics. We claim that topics which include economic safety and national identity/nation-state are more or less fundamental to understanding the logic of the production of the concrete discourses of rurality in Norwegian politics. We provide evidence that rural change is contingent not only on the meaningmaking process in parliamentary debates, but on the way truth claims made by politicians are linked to general national and global issues.

This article focuses on political and everyday interplay and integration between city and hinterland, investigating borders and boundaries in such interplay. Five Norwegian city-regions served as the empirical basis for analysing two empirical fields. In the first field ¿ everyday mobility and flow ¿ institutionalized interactions between the cities and their hinterlands were analysed as well as objectives and meaning as motivations in everyday mobility in the city-region between city and hinterland. In the second field ¿ urbanregional economic development policy ¿ the questions addressed related to the degree to which governance networks are developed as a tool in local economic development policy, the geographical span such networks have, and the degree to which actors are motivated by the idea of creating a city-region where the importance of borders is decreasing. The issues were discussed in a theoretical frame related to urban and boundary theory.The results demonstrated the multitude of meanings with regard to borders and boundaries, underscoring how fundamentally different cognitive approaches related to borders and flows are constituent in the two empirical fields as well as how borders and boundaries are used to separate and connect in fulfilling purposeful ends

In this introductory article to the special issue of Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift?Norwegian Journal of Geography , we give a brief presentation of the tradition of rural studies in Norway. The bulk of Norwegian rural studies can be classified as rural development research where the main objective is to improve the conditions in rural areas. This is in line with the strong connection between social science and welfare state policies in the Nordic countries. Research carried out in a rural change tradition, which focuses more on differences in interests and values, identities, representations and imaginations, has been more limited, but is growing. We claim that a functionalist approach focusing on quantifiable socio-economic variables still has some degree of hegemony in the strong tradition of policy-related research in Norway. The contributions following this article, though, take on new theoretical perspectives with their discursive and social constructivist approach. The articles presented are focusing on rurality as a contested concept in the Norwegian context. They focus on how academics, politicians and ordinary people adopt different meanings of the concept, and how these different meanings have impact on policy formation, research agendas and everyday life.

In 2002, as part of its urban policy, the city of Kristiansand set up a giant foundation, for the purpose of soliciting projects, talents and strategies for growth in the citys cultural economy. There was conflict over core values in the promotion of culture and heritage, and discussion on the transformation of power and democracy. The article assesses the challenges facing the foundation Cultiva, including institutional ramifications related to régimes of public planning and governance. Cultiva introduces new discourses of culture in urban development, with impacts on both the outside perception of the city and the everyday culture among the inhabitants of Kristiansand.

In 2002 the city council of Kristiansand organized parts of its urban policy in a giant foundation. Based on sales of stock in the energy industry, the city placed 1,4 billion NOK (175 million euros) in a trust fund for the purpose of soliciting projects, talents and strategies for growth in the city¿s cultural economy. From the beginning this became a contested case with conflict over core values in the promotion of cultural and heritage and discussions on the transformation of power and democracy. Although the critics have been and still are load against the commercial profile of the strategy, especially from cultural worker and artists, the foundation actually has sharpened its profile as a supporter of commercial innovation and growth. This paper raises questions concerning the consequences of this strategic choice for urban planning and development. ¿Cultiva¿ has placed it self strategically in the middle of the growing trend of creativity and cultural economy influencing urban planning and local development world wide. The paper aims to assess the cultural challenges now facing the foundation ¿Cultiva¿ and the process of urban planning in the aftermath of this specific strategic choice.

This paper claims that the Norwegian discourse about rurality has managed to couple concepts like ?economic safety?, ?Norwegian identity?, ?freedom? and ?quality of life? with the concept of rurality. These concepts are what Laclau & Mouffe (2001) call ?floating signifiers?, meaning that they from the starting point are not reserved just for one discourse. Instead they are concepts claimed and fought for by different discourses in Norwegian society (Simonsen 2004). Different actors are trying to include such general concepts to their discourse. Several of the linkages between these concepts and rurality are being threatened today by a more neoliberal approach to development. The paper analyses the political discourse about rurality in the post war period and until today. Focus is on the content in and the development of the discourse: We intend to identify central moments in the discourse, the connections or relations between them and the centre or nodal point of the discourse (Laclau & Mouffe, 2001). A time perspective enables an understanding of the constant definition and redefinition of moments and relations, and a focus on political actors reveals power relations on this arena.

Norsk vindkraftutvikling har etter to tiår med lav utbyggingstakt, sett en kraftig økt installert kapasitet. Samtidig er vindkraft blitt gjenstand for et høyt konfliktnivå både på lokalt til nasjonalt nivå. Det er vokst frem en nasjonal opposisjon og motbevegelse til vindkraftutbygging, og i flere lokalsamfunn har vindkraftutbygging skapt store protester og sivil ulydighet. Det er med andre ord et voksende avvik mellom nasjonale myndigheters mål om økt vindkraftutbygging og den lokale og nasjonale offentlige debatten og motstanden. I dette policynotat ser vi på utviklingen av norsk vindkraftpolitikk og spør hvilke krefter og motkrefter som har bidratt til utformingen av politikken over tid og hvilke utfordringer den bør adressere fremover.

Denne rapporten oppsummerer bakgrunn, prosess og funn fra forprosjektet «Bærekraftig utvikling i Blindleia – Planpraksis, premisser og perspektiver» finansiert av RFF Agder. Det er et økende press på attraktive landskapsområder i Norge fra ulike aktører. Verdifulle landskapsområder og kulturmiljøer møter behov for verdiskaping i bred forstand, med omstilling til ny næringsaktivitet, moderne krav til bomiljøer og utvikling av turistdestinasjoner. Samtidig ser vi et økende fokus på å ta vare på miljøet og forvalte naturressurser på en bærekraftig måte. Blindleia er et landskapsområde med både lokal og nasjonal interesse og verdi. I tillegg eksemplifiserer området lignende fremvoksende problemstillinger langs hele Agderkysten og en rekke andre steder over hele landet.
