This article has three aims. First, it introduces the scientific
field of bioculturalism, or evolutionary psychology, within the
context of film and media in Norway. Second, through textual analysis
it applies some of the key concepts and insights of bioculturalism on
a specific case: the uniquely popular, Norwegian drama series Himmelblå (NRK,
2008–2010). The specific point of interest is the peculiar way in
which this series interprets the notions of ‘mating’, ‘femininity’
and ‘masculinity’. Himmelblå is at one and the
same time a satirical commentary on a certain dominance of ‘female
values’ in today’s sex pattern, and an example of how culture in
interplay with biology guides the viewer when making life choices.
Third, the article uses this case of blurred boundaries between biological
and ideological impulses in our media reception to encourage further
research within the field of bioculturalism – a hitherto neglected focus
of interest among Norwegian film and media scholars.

In the digital age, the dynamics of political scandals are intensified
as a result of three key factors: the development of online media
and 24 hour deadlines, the use of opinion polls and user-generated content
in media coverage, and increased personification in political journalism.
A recent scandal, illustrating these developments, is the ‘Ramin-Osmundsen’
case, which resulted in the resignation of the first female cabinet
minister with an ethnic minority background. The article places
this political scandal in a context of national and international
research on political scandals, and investigates its peculiarities
and characteristics. The analysis draws on interviews with journalists,
as well as content analysis of press -coverage in online and print
-media.

Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPGs) have gone
from sub to mainstream culture in the space of the past decade, showing
play as social and diverse. Looking at play as a continuous process,
I analyse how the practice of play is shaped not just by design, but
also by the context in which it is played. Based on qualitative
interviews with a group of powergamers, defined by their instrumental
approach to the game, I investigate the ways in which these players
negotiate their time-consuming play style with their everyday lives.
