Women Writing Intimate Spaces
The messy and multi-layered issue of intimacy in connection with transnationality and spatiality is the topic of this volume on women’s writing in the long nineteenth century. A series of intimacies are dealt with through case studies from a wide range of countries situated on the European fringes. Within the field of feminist literary studies, the volume thus differs from other publications with a narrower scope, such as Western Europe or specific regions. More broadly, the chapters in this volume offer a variety of approaches to intimacy and generous bibliographical references for researchers in humanities and cultural studies.
Translating the Literatures of Small European Nations
The most detailed and wide-ranging comparative study to date of how European literatures written in less well known languages try, through translation, to reach the wider world, rejecting the predominant narrative of tragic marginalization with case studies of endeavour and innovation from nineteenth-century Swedish women’s writing to twenty-first-century Polish fantasy.
Sixth European Ministerial Conference on Equality Between Women and Men
The two-sub themes of this Ministerial Conference were gender equality as an integral part of human rights in a democratic society, and gender analysis and gender budgeting: tools for economic development. The main objective of the Conference was to raise awareness, at the highest political level, to the fact that the lack of gender equality implies personal, social and economic costs higher than the cost of those incurred in implementing gender equality and that there are social and economic benefits to be gained from its implementation. These proceedings present the main contributions to the Conference as well as the two following texts adopted by the European ministers responsible for gender equality: Resolution on Achieving gender equality: a challenge for human rights and a prerequisite for economic development and Action Plan for Achieving gender equality in all spheres of society.--Publisher's description.
Nineteenth-Century Nationalisms and Emotions in the Baltic Sea Region
This volume explores the production of loss in nationalist discourses during the long nineteenth century in the Baltic Sea region – how the notion of loss was charged with emotions in political writings, lectures, novels, paintings, letters and diaries.
Laughter and Civility
Emma Gad (1852–1921) was a prolific Danish playwright at the turn of the twentieth century. With sparkling prose and witty dialogue, Gad’s ambitious and sophisticated theatrical productions raised important and still pressing questions about sexuality and morality—including the status of women in marriage, divorce, same‐sex desire, and marital infidelity. Through her plays she engaged with contemporaries like Henrik Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw, yet she is primarily remembered for her etiquette book, Takt og Tone. Laughter and Civility, the first biographical and scholarly volume to examine and contextualize her dramas, deeply explores how and why influential women are so often excluded from the canon. Lynn R. Wilkinson provides insightful readings into all twenty-five of Gad’s plays and demonstrates how writers and intellectuals of the time, including Georg and Edvard Brandes, took her critically acclaimed work seriously. This volume rightfully reinstates Emma Gad’s work into the repertory of European drama and is crucial for scholars interested in turn‐of‐the‐century Scandinavian drama, literature, culture, and politics.

Sweden and National Liberation in Southern Africa
In 1969, the Swedish parliament endorsed a policy of direct assistance to the liberation movements in Southern Africa. Sweden thus became the first Western country to enter into a relationship with organizations that elsewhere in the West were shunned as "Communist" or "terrorist." This book-the first in a two-volume study on Sweden & the regional struggles for majority rule & national independence-traces the background to the relationship. Presenting the actors & factors behind the support to MPLA of Angola, FRELIMO of Mozambique, SWAPO of Namibia, ZANU & ZAPU of Zimbabwe, & ANC of South Africa, it addresses the question why Sweden established close relations with the very movements that eventually would assume state power in their respective countries. The second volume (later this year) will discuss how the support was expressed, covering the period from 1970 until the democratic elections in South Africa in 1994.
En människa kan mördas men inte idéer : en biografi över Anna Lindh
Den 10 september 2003 knivhuggs utrikesminister Anna Lindh på varuhuset NK i Stockholm. Morgonen därpå avlider hon, 46 år gammal. Sorgen förlamar en hel nation och tanken på hennes två små barn är outhärdlig. Mammor ska inte dö. Men hennes död innebär också att Sverige och Socialdemokraterna förlorat en del av sin framtid. Hon kunde ha fortsatt att vara en viktig röst i världen, hon kunde ha blivit en framgångsrik partiledare. Nu blev det inte så. Journalisten Eva Franchell var nära vän och kollega till Anna Lindh och i denna första heltäckande biografi ger hon oss en vital och levande tidsbild av det politiska 1900-talets andra hälft och skildrar den mångsidiga och inte alltid enkla politikern och människan Anna Lindh. "Det är initierat, rakt och ärligt skildrat (...) Texten landar i den genuina människan Anna Lindh också bortom världspolitikens scener. En människa kan mördas men inte idéer är en förträffligt välskriven text om ett liv i demokratins tjänst, men där kärleken till barnen, kontakten med vännerna sen ungdomen och det övriga familjära alltid finns med på färden." /Håkan Philipsson, BTJ-häftet
