Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nordiskkulturfakta2022-01/ In this research anthology on public subsidy systems for culture in the Nordic region, researchers from each Nordic country contribute with a chapter on the status and challenges of public subsidy systems for culture in their particular country. In addition, a former civil servant with the Nordic Council of Ministers provides descriptions of Nordic co-operation grants for culture, as well as grants in the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. While the authors have chosen which issues to focus on in their respective chapters, all in one way or another concern themselves with the question of how Nordic welfare policies are reflected in Nordic cultural policies. The research anthology has been produced by Kulturanalys Norden and edited by Sakarias Sokka, senior researcher at CUPORE.
A brand new edition of the most in-depth guide available to Iceland, containing both the remotest offshore islands and the ins and outs of Reykjavik's music scene.
The idea for Bite Size World came from a game Roger Frankham used to play with food-minded friends involving spinning a globe blindfold and throwing a dinner party based on the food of the country where your finger landed. Roger soon realised that a whole world of cuisine was out there that he knew absolutely nothing about. The idea so fascinated him that he abandoned his job and set out on a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the planet, armed with just a suitcase, some phrase books and his palate. Eight months and twenty-five countries later, there had been ‘fifty-three moments when I took a bite of something so amazing that everything seemed to stop around me’, as well as a few experiences he wouldn’t go through again to save his life. They are all in this book - along with the merely good, the disappointing and the inedible. Anyone fancy rotten Icelandic shark?
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nordiskkulturfakta2023-03/ Denna rapport beskriver kultursektorns återhämtning och förändring i spåren av covid-19 pandemin. Rapporten innehåller en jämförande analys av insatser i de nordiska länderna och de tre självstyrande områdena Färöarna, Grönland och Åland. Vid slutet av 2022 har länderna avvecklat de krisstöd som sattes in för att hantera pandemins effekter på kulturliv i Norden. Rapportens resultat visar på en hög grad av återhämtning men att vissa delar av sektorn tidvis har haft svårt att ta del av de insatser som sattes in. Förändringar som på sikt kan påverka kulturlivet i Norden är den digitala utvecklingen och andra former för kulturdeltagande. Rapporten är genomförd av forskare från Cupore i Finland på uppdrag av Kulturanalys Norden. Kulturanalys Norden är ett nordiskt kunskapscentrum för kulturpolitik som etablerats på uppdrag av Nordiska ministerrådet. Rapporten är skriven på svenska med en sammanfattning på engelska.
