Nordic Media Histories of Propaganda and Persuasion
This open access edited volume shines new light on the history of propaganda and persuasion during the Nordic welfare epoch. A common analytical framework is developed that highlights transnational and transmedial perspectives rather than national or monomedial histories. The return of propaganda in contemporary debate underlines the need to historically contextualize the role and function of persuasive communication activities in the Nordic region and beyond. Building on an empirically situated approach, the chapters in this volume break new ground by covering a range of themes, from cultural diplomacy and nation branding to media materiality and information infrastructures. In doing so, the book stresses that the Nordic welfare epoch, with its associated epithet the “Nordic Model”, was built not only on governance, social security and economic productivity, but also on propaganda and persuasion.
The Uses of Life
This book shows, for the first time, how modern biotechnology grew out of this century's hopes for a new relationship between biology and engineering. Long before recombinant DNA, these promised a new kind of technology. By exploring the rich and surprisingly overlooked complex of prophesies, industrial and scientific development and government programs, the book sheds new light on the expectations now held for biotechnology. A world-wide view, covering developments, not just in America but also in Europe and Japan, uncovers surprising links. This makes possible a coherent story to supersede the historical notes which have been available until now. This first history of biotechnology provides a readable and challenging account that will appeal to anyone interested in the development of this key component of modern industry.
Kobstadens metamorfose
Omkring 1800 var Arhus en lille, fortAettet handels- og handvAerksby beboet af godt 4.000 indbyggere og med torvene i byens midte som det okonomiske og sociale midtpunkt. Ved arhundredets slutning var indbyggertallet vokset til flere end 50.000, byen havde spredt sig ud over de middelalderlige grAenser, og dele af de omkringliggende sognekommuner og landsbyer var blevet indlemmet i kobstadskommunen. Nye kvarterer var opstaet med sAerlige beboer- og erhvervssammensAetninger, og selv om der stadig var mange sma handvAerksforetagender, la tyngden i byens erhvervsliv nu hos storhandelen og industrien. Byens udvikling afspejlede dermed forandringen af kobstAederne landet over. Bogen er koncentrer...
Baltic Hospitality from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century
Reflecting debate around hospitality and the Baltic Sea region, this open access book taps into wider discussions about reception, securitization and xenophobic attitudes towards migrants and strangers. Focusing on coastal and urban areas, the collection presents an overview of the responses of host communities to guests and strangers in the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, from the early eleventh century to the twentieth. The chapters investigate why and how diverse categories of strangers including migrants, war refugees, prisoners of war, merchants, missionaries and vagrants, were portrayed as threats to local populations or as objects of their charity, shedding light on the current predicament facing many European countries. Emphasizing the Baltic Sea region as a uniquely multi-layered space of intercultural encounter and conflict, this book demonstrates the significance of Northeastern Europe to migration history.
Charitable Women
The crisis of the welfare state in present day Scandinavian countries is a major inspiration behind this collection of papers by nine scholars specializing in intellectual and social history, in women's studies and the history of gender in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. By tracing the varied role of women as producers and distributors of welfare during the period 1780-1930 in both metropolitan and provincial contexts, this collection argues that philanthropy predated, shaped and co-existed with the formation of the "classical" welfare state. Women had a crucial role to play in the making and implementation of philanthropic policies as an alternative to state sector strategies and provisions. This collection highlights the bias of gender and class in social work. It reveals little-known aspects of gender history in Scandinavian countries and indicates the need to revise our traditional notions of the absence of women from the public sphere before their political emancipation at the beginning of this century.
