Silta
Murrosikää lähestyvä poika temmataan juuriltaan. Hänet heitetään maalta kaupunkiin, ruskeavetisen joen sijalle tulee hiukan pelottava meri, hurja ja outo elementti.Kaikki on vierasta. Koulu on suuri ja kylmä: sen hälinässä poika haluaa piiloutua, olla näkymätön. Nouseva seksuaalisuus ravistaa syvältä. Vanhempien maailma on muuttunut, kutistunut, käynyt silti levottomammaksi.Maalle jääneisiin isovanhempiin pojalla on lämmin suhde. Hän odottaa viikonvaihteita ja lomia, jolloin pääsee kaupungista. Yksinkertainen elämä, yksinkertaiset tutut ruuat rahoittavat.Sitten isoisä saa ensimmäisen halvauskohtauksensa.Silta on tarkan eleetön kertomus nuoren pojan maailmasta, vie...
Yhtiökumppanit
Raha on kova valuutta. Ollilla ja Petellä on missio: he ovat tulleet maailmaan murskatakseen toimialan toisensa jälkeen. Yhtiökumppanit luovat webbisivuja ja grafiikkaa pienyrityksille, puhuvat työkseen enemmän kuin tarkoittavat ja laskuttavat tuloksistaan vailla omaatuntoa. Pelastuakseen konkurssilta yhtiökumppanien on kehitettävä markkinat ällikällä lyövä tietokoneroolipeli. Sisällöntuottaminen kyynisen mielikuvateollisuuden alaisina vaatii kohtuuttomia uhrauksia, ja ihmissuhteet joutuvat koetukselle, kun kukaan ei halua maksaa rakastamisen ja aidon välittämisen korkeaa hintaa. Yhtiökumppanit on romaani merkityksen ja itsetunnon etsimisestä maailmassa, jossa pehmeät arvot ovat jääneet syntymättä. Seppälä piirtää tarkkaa kuvaa kovien miesten ja särkyneiden naisten 1990-luvun lopun Suomen uusmedia-alan hektisestä optiotodellisuudesta. Juha Seppälä (s. 1956) on koulutukseltaan filosofian maisteri. Hän asuu Porissa ja toimii vapaana kirjailijana.

Novel Districts
Finland-Swedish writer Monika Fagerholm is one of the most important contemporary Nordic authors. Her experimental, puzzling and daring novels, such as Underbara kvinnor vid vatten (1994) and Den amerikanska flickan (2004), have attracted much critical attention. She has won several literary awards, including the Nordic prize from the Swedish Academy in 2016; her works have travelled across national and cultural borders as they have now been translated in USA, Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. Fagerholm’s wild and visionary depictions of girlhood have long had an impact on the Nordic literary landscape; currently, she has many literary followers among young female writers and readers in F...
Climate Change and the Future of Water
Across the Middle East, population growth and the rising consumption of water represent two key variables that are closely intertwined. When added to the projected impact of climate change on the region, they threaten to undermine established methods that attempt to ensure a manageable level of domestic and regional water security. Developing nations lacking water security are forced to contend with the looming complications this shortage could yield, which consequently obstruct attempts to achieve long-term, sustainable development. It is therefore imperative that policy and decision-makers be mindful of ongoing environmental, societal and technological developments that hold the potential ...
Money Demand in Europe
In 1999 a number of member states of the European Union will adopt a common currency. This change in the monetary system requires that a Eur opean Central Bank is set up and a common monetary policy is pursued. There is general agreement among those countries which are likely to join the common currency that price level stability has to be the ultimate objec tive of monetary po1icy. It is an open issue, however, what kind of policy is best suited for that purpose. The alternative strategies under discussion are a direct inflation targeting, an intermediate monetary targeting or a mixture of both. For these policy strategies a stable money demand relation is of cen tral importance. Therefore ...
Citizenship, Education and Social Conflict
This volume provides new perspectives into the challenges of citizenship education in the age of globalization and in the context of multicultural and conflict-ridden societies. It calls on us to rethink the accepted liberal and national discourses that have long dominated the conceptualization and practice of citizenship and citizenship education in light of social conflict, globalization, terrorism, and the spread of an extreme form of capitalism. The contributors of the volume identify the main challenges to the role of citizenship education in the context of globalization, conflicts and the changes to the institution of citizenship they entail and critically examine the ways in which schools and education systems currently address – and may be able to improve – the role of citizenship education in conflict-ridden and multicultural contexts.
