Show moreOntvoering of vrijheidsberoving is een zeer ingrijpend misdrijf, waarnaar in Nederland nog maar weinig wetenschappelijk onderzoek is gedaan. Voor de politie begint een ontvoeringszaak vaak met een melding van een persoonsvermissing. Wanneer duidelijk is dat de vermiste persoon in gevaar verkeert of ontvoerd is, trekt de politie alles uit de kast om het slachtoffer zo snel mogelijk terug te vinden. Opsporingsberichtgeving is dan één van de middelen waarover de politie beschikt. Via verschillende kanalen kan zij in één klap een grote groep mensen of juist een heel specifieke doelgroep bereiken. Dit boek doet verslag van een onderzoek naar de inzet van opsporingsberichtgeving in verschillende typen ontvoeringszaken. De auteurs gaan na hoe de politie mediaberichtgeving als recherchemiddel gebruikt in de context van vermissingen en ontvoeringen. In welke fase van het onderzoek wordt berichtgeving ingezet en wat is daarvan het doel? Welke mogelijkheden heeft de politie daarbij? Wat zijn de risico's van de inzet van berichtgeving en wat heeft opsporingsberichtgeving in ontvoeringszaken opgeleverd? Aan de hand van verschillende Nederlandse ontvoeringszaken worden deze en andere vragen belicht. De auteurs komen hiermee tot een aantal interessante bevindingen en concrete aandachtspunten voor de opsporingspraktijk Show less

Show moreThe Saqqara tomb of the early 19th-Dynasty Mayor of Memphis and Chief Steward in the Temple of Ptah, Ptahmose, was accessible to explorers as early as the 1820s. Many items were taken from the tomb by art dealers and their local agents. These objects came into the possession of well-known collectors such as Giuseppe di Nizzoli and Giovanni d'Anastasi, and the sale of their collections further contributed to the objects' worldwide distribution. The more scientifically motivated archaeological exploration of Ptahmose's tomb started in 1859 when Auguste Mariette and his assistant Théodule Devéria worked in the area. Two photographs taken by the latter in 1859 had long been the last documentation of the tomb – until it was rediscovered as recently as 2010. After 1859, undocumented excavations and illicit diggings continued, and over the years, items originating from the tomb surfaced in museum collections. One such object is the relief-decorated block presented in this article. It is currently held in the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. This contribution aims to present for the first time a complete description and discussion of the block's iconography and texts, and to address the question of how the object got to the Nasher Museum: starting at Saqqara and then being passed on through art dealers, collectors and middlemen in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Show moreThe North Korean government of Kim Jong-un is experiencing multiple simultaneous challenges to its legitimacy, but few could be more serious than the inflow and circulation of information in society. This paper uses three case studies to specifically examine how the North Korean state is responding to this danger by actively projecting narratives of transformation: “re-defectors,” sports, and Kim Jong-un’s court orchestra, the Moranbong Band. In every case, it becomes clear that the state is employing an active strategy, not only responding to negative external portrayals, but also trying to shape its own image both within and without its borders. In order to understand how the state interacts with the North Korean public, this paper employs Thomas Callaghy’s trifurcated “domain consensus” as a framework by which to sub-categorize Pyongyang’s approach: normative, utilitarian, and coercive. It focuses on the first of these types of consensus formation, the normative, by exploring the information strategies used by the Kim Jong-un government as it seeks to promote a revised Weberian “reciprocity of expectations” with the population.
