Narrative Medicine: Trauma and Ethics
This new volume repositions narrative medicine and trauma studies in a global context with a particular focus on ethics. Trauma is a rapidly growing field of especially literary and cultural studies, and the ways in which trauma has asserted its relevance across disciplines, which intersect with narrative medicine, and how it has come to widen the scope of narrative research and medical practice constitute the principal concerns of this volume. This collection brings together contributions from established and emerging scholars coming from a wide range of academic fields within the faculty of humanities that include literary and media studies, psychology, philosophy, history, anthropology as...
Global Perspectives on Probing Narratives in Healthcare
There is often a communication disconnect between medical caregivers, including doctors, nurses, therapists, and other assistive medical personnel, and the patient. While medical staff usually understand a patient’s symptoms, causes, and treatments, communicating this understanding to a patient using industry terminologies can lead to confusion and misunderstanding, and similarly, patients may lack the vocabulary to effectively communicate their experiences back to their caregivers. A new approach to communication must be bridged between these groups by individuals who have experience on both sides of the conversation. Previous studies of doctors who end up in the role of the patient revea...
Agency on the Page
A multitude of ideas about individual and distributed agency circulated in Scandinavian culture during the 1960s, a period often designated as the early information age. Through an analysis of six novels, this dissertation discusses how prose fiction in and around the 1960s in Norway, Sweden and Denmark responded and contributed to this circulation of ideas of agency. The study argues that a transition is played out in the novels, from an idea of agency as individualistic and possessive, which I designate as melodramatic, towards an idea of agency as distributed and ecodramatic, emerging in an active environment, where multiple agents, human and non-human, co-exist (these concepts are derive...

A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950-1975
A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950-1975 is the first publication to deal with the postwar avant-garde in the Nordic countries. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, architecture and design, film, radio, television and the performative arts. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: The cultural politics, institutions and new cultural geographies after World War II, new technologies and media, performative strategies, interventions into everyday life and tensions between market and counterculture.
The Dynamics of Text and Framing Phenomena
This volume explores the complex relations of texts and their contextualising elements, drawing particularly on the notions of paratext, metadiscourse and framing. It aims at developing a more comprehensive historical understanding of these phenomena, covering a wide time span, from Old English to the 20th century, in a range of historical genres and contexts of text production, mediation and consumption. However, more fundamentally, it also seeks to expand our conception of text and the communicative ‘spaces’ surrounding them, and probe the explanatory potential of the concepts under investigation. Though essentially rooted in historical linguistics and philology, the twelve contributions of this volume are also open to insights from other disciplines (such as medieval manuscript studies and bibliography, but also information studies, marketing studies, and even digital electronics), and thus tackle opportunities and challenges in researching the dynamics of text and framing phenomena in a historical perspective.
Larmen på Strøget
I august 1965 marcherer en broget skare ned ad Strøget i København med folk- og gadesangeren Cæsar i spidsen. De 3.500 forsamlede demonstrerer for ytringsfrihed på den kun få år gamle gågade: Gadesangere og gademalere skal have lov til at være i fred for politiet. Det samme skal de unge ”præhippier” på Amagertorv, som provokerer borgerskabet alene ved deres nærvær. Dem giver folk-musikken stemme i sangen ’Storkespringvandet’. Men folkemusikscenen i 1960’erne bød på mere end protestsange. Den gik sin helt egen vej mellem popkulturelle indflydelser fra udlandet og det mere officielle Danmarks besindelse på dansk kulturarv som modtræk til tidens amerikanisering. Det er Povl Dissings versioner af sentimentale viser og Cy, Maia & Roberts fænomenale plader sammen med refrænet ”Ali-bali, ali-bali-bi ...” vidnesbyrd om.
Angst i dansk litteratur
”Jeg har en Angst som aldrig før”, hedder det hos H.C. Andersen. For Tom Kristensen er angsten ”asiatisk i Vælde”, mens Tove Ditlevsen oplever ”Verdenshave af Angst”. I de sidste 200 år har angst været et centralt tema i dansk litteratur – helt frem til bekymringen for teknologiske og klimamæssige forandringer hos en samtidsforfatter som Jonas Eika. Romaner, noveller og digte forvandler oplevelser af angst til litterær form. Litteraturhistorien er dermed et emotionelt arkiv, der opsamler fortolkninger af angst og forandringer i angstens udtryksformer. Ved at undersøge, hvordan angsten er skildret hos forskellige forfattere på tværs af tid, får vi et dybere indblik i angstens rolle i den menneskelige tilværelse. I bogen analyserer 13 forskere repræsentationer af angst i dansk litteratur fra H.C. Andersen og Søren Kierkegaard over blandt andre det moderne gennembruds kvindelige forfattere, Henrik Pontoppidan og Inger Christensen frem til de nyeste tendenser inden for spekulativ fiktion.
