The Motivation to Work
Quality work that fosters job satisfaction and health enjoys top priority in industry all over the world. This was not always so. Until recently analysis of job attitudes focused primarily on human relations problems within organizations. While American industry was trying to solve the unsolvable problem of avoiding interpersonal dissatisfaction, problems with the potential for solution, such as training and quality production, were ignored. When first published, The Motivation to Work challenged the received wisdom by showing that worker fulfillment came from achievement and growth within the job itself. In his new introduction, Herzberg examines thirty years of motivational research in job...
You Go the Words
Poetry. Gay and Lesbian Studies. Translated from the Swedish by Fredrik Hertzberg. "To read Bjorling is to eat language"--Aase Berg. "Du gar de ord, the last collection of poems by the great Finland-Swedish Modernist poet Gunnar Bjorling...is a milestone in the annals of experimental poetics produced in our century"--Marjorie Perloff. "...Hovering in an aesthetic space somewhere between Dickinson and Celan, Oppen and Creeley, Gunnar Bjorling is a poet of the everyday and its words, as if the abyss between souls could ever be ordinary or ever anything else"--Charles Bernstein.

Om Förbländningen av Elias Canetti
Litteraturvetaren och litteraturkritikern Fredrik Hertzbergs förord till Elias Canettis Förbländningen. Om Förbländningen: Språkforskaren Peter Kien vill bara vara i fred med sina tjugotusen böcker i våningen i Wien. Han har inte många försonande egenskaper: kall, rigid, misantropisk, misogyn. Genom ett ödesdigert missförstånd blir han tvungen att gifta sig med sin hushållerska Therese. Vad som först liknar en praktisk lösning slutar som mänsklig samvaro ofta gör i katastrof. Förbländningen från 1935 blev Canettis enda roman. En mänsklighetens vansinneskomedi om hur människor inte kan sluta behärska varandra. Respektabel är här endast maktmänniskan den starke bländar den svage. Canetti var sin onda tid på spåren, långt före andra världskrigets utbrott.
A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925
A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925 is the first publication to deal with the avant-garde in the Nordic countries at the start of the twentieth century. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, painting as well as photography, architecture and design, film, radio, and performing arts like music, theatre and dance. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective which includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field, but in a broader cultural context. It examines the social and cultu...
Muslims and the New Information and Communication Technologies
This volume deals with the so-called new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their interrelationship with Muslims and the interpretation of Islam. This volume taps into what has been labelled Media Studies 2.0, which has been characterized by an intensified focus on everyday meanings and ‘lay’ users – in contrast to earlier emphases on experts or self-acclaimed experts. This lay adoption of ICT and the subsequent digital ‘literacy’ is not least noticeable among Muslim communities. According to some global estimates, one in ten internet users is a Muslim. This volume offers an ethnography of ICT in Muslim communities. The contributors to this volume also demonstrate...

Immigration Dialectic
Immigration is an integral part of national identity in settler societies such as Canada. But in countries where identity is defined more in ethnic terms, such as Germany, the presence of immigrants has only recently begun to be acknowledged. Taking these two countries as case studies, Immigration Dialectic explores the impact of immigration on national identity as imagined through media-based discourse. Harald Bauder argues that while both countries rely on negative depictions of immigrants to construct a positive image of the self, the ways in which Canada and Germany construct national identity in relation to representations of immigrants are significantly different. Bauder introduces a sophisticated framework of Hegelian dialectics for the growing interdisciplinary literature regarding media perspectives on immigration and national identity. Providing close analysis of themes such as belonging, economic impacts, and national security, Immigration Dialectic will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary discussions on immigration.
