Shipping in Inuit Nunangat
Shipping in Inuit Nunangat is a timely multidisciplinary volume offering novel insights into key maritime governance issues in Canadian Arctic waters that are Inuit homeland (Inuit Nunangat) in the contemporary context of climate change, growing accessibility of Arctic waters to shipping, the need to protect a highly sensitive environment, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The volume includes policy, legal and institutional findings and recommendations intended to inform scholars and policymakers on managing the interface between shipping, the marine environment, and Indigenous rights in Arctic waters.
People, Places, and Practices in the Arctic
This collection follows anthropological perspectives on peoples (Canadian Inuit, Norwegian Sámi, Yupiit from Alaska, and Inuit from Greenland), places, and practices in the Circumpolar North from colonial times to our post-modern era. This volume brings together fresh perspectives on theoretical concepts, colonial/imperial descriptions, collaborative work of non-Indigenous and Indigenous researchers, as well as articles written by representatives of Indigenous cultures from an inside perspective. The scope of the book ranges from contributions based on unpublished primary sources, missionary journals, and fairly unknown early Indigenous sources and publications, to those based on more recen...
Glimt af Amerika
Der findes ikke nogen formel på Amerika. Ingen enkel måde at definere landet eller dets indbyggere. Men skal man alligevel gøre forsøget, må det være at sige, at USA er kontrasternes land. Stedet med ubegribelig rigdom, skønhed og glamour. Stedet, hvor drømme kan blive til virkelighed, og hvor træerne næsten vokser helt ind i himlen. Men samtidig også stedet, hvor millioner lever under fattigdomsgrænsen, og hvor grundlaget for din eksistens kan styrte i grus, hvis du mister dit arbejde. Det er landet, der på godt og ondt sætter den internationale dagsorden, både politisk, økonomisk og kulturelt. Og landet, hvis præsident kaldes verdens mægtigste mand. Formålet med denne bo...
Den sidste olie
Om få årtier slipper verdens olie op. I Arktis er kampen om ressourcerne i gang – på liv og død. Greenpeaces videojournalist Vicky von der Pahlen bortføres og holdes fastlænket i en uhumsk og utæt hytte et ukendt sted i Grønland. En israelsk milliardær med skjulte interesser sender Marcelo Krankl til Nuuk for at finde Vicky, inden hun dør af mishandling og kulde. Samtidig vil den yderligtgående miljøgruppe Ocean Action kapre verdens opmærksomhed ved at blokere skruen på en olietanker i et farvand fyldt af isbjerge. En historie om gråzonen mellem idealisme og terrorisme. Et møde med Grønland og dets gribende natur. Et geostrategisk spil om den sidste olie. Marcelo Krankl er...
Colonialism in Greenland
This book explores how the Danish authorities governed the colonized population in Greenland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Two competing narratives of colonialism dominate in Greenland as well as Denmark. One narrative portrays the Danish colonial project as ruthless and brutal extraction of a vulnerable indigenousness people; the other narrative emphasizes almost exclusively the benevolent aspects of Danish rule in Greenland. Rather than siding with one of these narratives, this book investigates actual practices of colonial governance in Greenland with an outlook to the extensive international scholarship on colonialism and post-colonialism. The chapters address the intimate connections between the establishment of an ethnographic discourse and the colonial techniques of governance in Greenland. Thereby the book provides important nuances to the understanding of the historical relationship between Denmark and Greenland and links this historical trajectory to the present negotiations of Greenlandic identity.

Essays by leading theater scholars and theorists exploring the "turn to landscape" in modern and contemporary theater
A Stein Reader
This important collection presents Gertrude Stein for the first time in her brilliant modernity. Ulla E. Dydo's textual scholarship demonstrates Stein's constant questioning of convention, and A Stein Reader changes the balance of work in print, concentrating on Stein's experimental work and including many key works that are virtually unknown or unavailable. A Stein Reader includes unpublished work, such as the portrait "Article"; shows the astonishing stylistic change in the neglected "A Long Gay Book"; draws attention to the many unknown plays such as "Reread Another;" and offers fascinating portraits of Matisse, Picasso, and Sitwell. Illuminating headnotes bring out connections between pieces and provide invaluable keys to Stein's motifs and thought patterns.
The Death of Character
"Extremely well written, and exceedingly well informed, this is a work that opens a variety of important questions in sophisticated and theoretically nuanced ways. It is hard to imagine a better tour guide than Fuchs for a trip through the last thirty years of, as she puts it, what we used to call the 'avant-garde.'" —Essays in Theatre ". . . an insightful set of theoretical 'takes' on how to think about theatre before and theatre after modernism." —Theatre Journal "In short, for those who never experienced a 'postmodern swoon,' Elinor Fuchs is an excellent informant." —Performing Arts Journal ". . . a thoughtful, highly readable contribution to the evolving literature on theatre and p...
