Part 2: Open and Smart Government ; International audience ; Research on open government data focuses mainly on standards for publishing data and access to data. In this study of the uptake of Digital Post in Denmark open data is applied in the analysis of the course of events leading up to the implementation of the mandatory digital mail-box. The study reflects on the impact of communication via local print media and discusses the body of literature which focuses on print media as a vehicle for communication to citizens. The study opens for a discussion of how open government data-sets give new opportunities for generating scholarly insights but also how it can challenge the position of researchers.

Artiklen indeholder en analyse af en selvbiografisk kræftfortælling. Gennem inddragelsen af litteraturteori, der beskæftiger sig med litteraturens fremstilling af tid og rum og med rejsens metafor, undersøger artiklen de tider og steder, som den udvalgte selvbiografi kortlægger og tematiserer. Formålet med artiklen er at vise, hvordan det ser ud, og hvad det betyder, når kræftsygdommen i dette tilfælde medvirker til at skabe en fortælling, som problematiserer en lineær opfattelse af tid, fortælling og identitet, og som specifikt gør op med idealet for den konventionelle kronologisk-lineære fortælling om 'kræften som en rejse'. Selvbiografien skaber således en iøjnefaldende litterær topografi, som trækker på en særlig inddragelse af rejsen som en metafor for livet med en kræftsygdom. Forfatteren er en usædvanlig rejsende, som befinder sig i en tilstand af at være permanent 'ude af kurs' i tid og sted, og fortællingen kortlægger en eksistentiel hjemløshed. Den eksistentielle hjemløshed spejler sig i en særlig anskuelse af identiteten, som artiklen begrebsliggør som en 'kronotopisk identitet'. Den 'kronotopiske identitet' forsøger ikke at besvare spørgsmålet 'hvem er jeg?' eller at forstå selvet i en kronologisk orden, men at skabe et rum for refleksion over spørgsmålet 'hvor er jeg?' og 'hvor er jeg på vej hen?'. Artiklen ønsker at demonstrere, hvordan selvbiografien tydeligt adskiller sig fra de uløseligt forbundne begreber om narrativ identitet og narrativ kohærens og at udfordre den fælles kulturelle forståelse af relationer mellem kræft, tid og identitet, der er knyttet til anvendelsen af den konventionelle metafor om 'kræftrejsen'.

'Creepypastas' are short horror stories that circulate online, spreading through the act of copying and pasting, and often threatening to 'curse' the reader in the process. In this article I explore what it might mean to strike up companionship with and show responsibility towards that which is considered non-existent yet, as in the case of creepypasta and its monsters, hauntingly present nonetheless. I do so through the framework of Jacques Derrida's 'hauntology' as well as Donna Haraway's work on responsibility as a question of how to respond to the response of the non/human other. The question I would like to ask is this: how might one respond to the response of the non/human other, if the non/human other is considered to not exist?

The status of the marine Arctic as 'the last wilderness' may be challenged in future by increased activities provided by the melting of the sea ice. The fragile ecosystems and habitats may come under threat. In this article the international law on conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity is explored where the ecosystem approach has been developed, and these legal and semi-legal norms are related to the marine Arctic. Particularly challenging is to implement the ecosystem approach within the maritime jurisdiction. Although still a wilderness, state practice indicates that implementation will not be any easier in the Arctic, and that it will not become a laboratory for new legal regimes. Most likely sectoral regulatory regimes will be extended or developed as different threats materialize. One of the main challenges will be to ensure proper coordination between these to apply the ecosystem approach.Keywords: Arctic, international environmental law, biodiversity, law of the seaCitation: Arctic Review on Law and Politics, vol. 1, 2/2010 p. 249-278.
