A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries Since 1975
The Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries Since 1975 is the final volume of the four-volume series of cultural histories of the avant-garde movements in the Nordic countries. This volume carries the avant-garde discussion forward to present-day avant-gardes, challenged by the globalisation of the entertainment industries and new interactive media such as the internet. The avant-garde can now be considered a tradition that has been made more widely available through the opening of archives, electronic documentation and new research, which has spurred both re-enactments, revisions and continuations of historical avant-garde practices, while new cultural contexts, political, technological and ecological conditions have called for new strategies.
Indigenous Transnationalism
After Aboriginal author Alexis Wright’s novel, Carpentaria, won the Miles Franklin Award in 2007, it rapidly achieved the status of a classic. The novel is widely read and studied in Australia, and overseas, and valued for its imaginative power, its epic reach, and its remarkable use of language. Indigenous Transnationalism brings together eight essays by critics from seven different countries, each analysing Alexis Wright’s novel Carpentaria from a distinct national perspective. Taken together, these diverse voices highlight themes from the novel that resonate across cultures and continents: the primacy of the land; the battles that indigenous peoples fight for their language, culture and sovereignty; a concern with the environment and the effects of pollution. At the same time, by comparing the Aboriginal experience to that of other indigenous peoples, they demonstrate the means by which a transnational approach can highlight resistance to, or subversion of, national prejudices.

A stylistically brilliant look at the male-dominated art world, madness, and identity.
Tabita
En av de senaste årens mest hyllade danska romaner »Iben Mondrup berättar med fruktansvärd närvaro om en becksvart tid i både Danmark och Grönland, och lyckas göra det med en nästan obegriplig förståelse för de flesta inblandade. Tabita är inte enbart en stor roman om just Danmarks Grönlandsadoptioner, utan väcker en rad tankar om adoptioner och välvilliga försök att sprida det vi vill kalla civilisation.« Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter »En av årets allra bästa romaner, kanske den bästa.« Jyllands-Posten »Viktig och enastående läsning Det är ett imponerande romanbygge som löper över tio år och riktar ljuset på övergrepp som länge tystats ned.« Alba Mogensen, ...
Arctic Environmental Modernities
This book offers a diverse and groundbreaking account of the intersections between modernities and environments in the circumpolar global North, foregrounding the Arctic as a critical space of modernity, where the past, present, and future of the planet’s environmental and political systems are projected and imagined. Investigating the Arctic region as a privileged site of modernity, this book articulates the globally significant, but often overlooked, junctures between environmentalism and sustainability, indigenous epistemologies and scientific rhetoric, and decolonization strategies and governmentality. With international expertise made easily accessible, readers can observe and understand the rise and conflicted status of Arctic modernities, from the nineteenth century polar explorer era to the present day of anthropogenic climate change.

Grönland
Grönland ist auf dem Weg, eine kleine nordische Nation zu werden. Mit der gegründeten Selbstregierung aus dem Jahr 2009 setzen grönländische Eliten den Weg in eine zunehmende Unabhängigkeit vom Königreich Dänemark fort. Gleichzeitig erfolgt ein rasanter gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Wandel. Doch wie leben eigentlich die Menschen in der Arktis heute? Die Beiträge zeigen aus unterschiedlichen Wissenschaftsperspektiven, dass ihr Dasein sowohl von Kontinuitäten als auch von Brüchen geprägt ist.
Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries, 1900–1960
This transnational volume examines innovative women artists who were from, or worked in, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sápmi, and Sweden from the emergence of modernism until the feminist movement took shape in the 1960s. The book addresses the culturally specific conditions that shaped Nordic artists’ contributions, brings the latest methodological and feminist approaches to bear on Nordic art history, and engages a wide international audience through the contributors’ subject matter and analysis. Rather than introducing a new history of "rediscovered" women artists, the book is more concerned with understanding the mechanisms and structures that affected women artists ...
Nature's Leadership
Wie beeinflusst die Natur unser Leben – und was können wir von ihr lernen? 'Nature’s Leadership' zeigt, wie die Natur uns in unserer persönlichen und beruflichen Entwicklung unterstützen kann. Über zwei Jahre hinweg haben die Autoren Eva Ritter (Deutschland) und Jens Larsen (Dänemark) zu diesem Thema persönliche Geschichten von Menschen in Nordnorwegen, Westgrönland und Südjütland gesammelt. Sie haben mit den Menschen gesprochen und deren ganz eigene Sicht auf die Natur eingefangen: als Wegweiser, Partner, Inspirationsquelle und Motivator. Daher auch der Titel des Buches: 'Nature's Leadership', der sich auf die Tatsache bezieht, dass die Natur uns auf unserem Weg leiten und begl...
