Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
Literature, Language, and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia and the Low Countries
Literature, Language, and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia and the Low Countries presents a ground-breaking comparative approach to the study of multicultural literature. Focusing on the development of migration literature in Sweden, Denmark, Flanders, and the Netherlands, the volume argues that the political and institutional preconditions for the development of ‘multicultural’ literatures are still given within the frame of the nation-state. As a consequence, both the field of ‘migration literature’ and the (multi-)lingual quality of literary texts are shaped differently in each state and in each language area. The volume delineates the development of multicultural literature in Sca...
The World's First Full Press Freedom
The book charts an extraordinary period in Danish history: the "Press Freedom Period" of 1770-73, in which King Christian 7's physician J.F. Struensee introduced a series of radical enlightenment reforms beginning with the total abolishment of censorship. The book investigates the sudden avalanche of pamphlets and debates, initiating the modern public sphere of Denmark-Norway. Publications show a surprising variety, from serious political, economic, and philosophical treatises over criticism, polemics, ridicule, entertainment, and to spin campaigns, obscenities, libel, threats. A successful coup against Struensee led to his subsequent public execution in Copenhagen, and the latter half of th...
Danish Mothers On-Screen
This book combines content analysis of film and television cases, the examination of policy documents, and first-hand interview material with Danish industry professionals, tracing the pivotal moments in media and welfare state history to unite these two overlapping spheres: welfare state social policy and media imagery. In doing so, it addresses a gap in existing academic and policy documents to demonstrate how motherhood and femininity are presented in contemporary state-supported Danish screen fiction. As an industry premised on state funding and public service values, Danish screen fiction plays a cogent role in shaping and communicating cultural norms and provides a space for the cultiv...
Søren Kierkegaard Literature, 1956-2006
This bibliography on Sren Kierkegaard carries on the work of Jens Himmelstrup's international bibliography (1962). It collates everything written about Kierkegaard - books, contributions to edited collections, and journals - and also features an appendix of primary text editions and translations. Discussion notes, reviews, etc., are catalogued according to the items they refer to. The bibliography contains more than 5,600 primary entries and is a testament to the expanding worldwide interest in the Danish philosopher. It also remedies the deeply-felt need for a collected overview of the extensive literature on Kierkegaard.
Iscenesætteren
Iscenesætteren er en beretning om ledelse i medie- og kulturlivet. Det er samtidig et portræt af en af kulturens mest befarne ledere, Det Kongelige Teaters direktør Morten Hesseldahl. I bogen følger vi Morten Hesseldahl rundt på Det Kongelige Teater i en periode, hvor en ny strategi skal udmøntes og en hel ny ledelsesstruktur bugseres på plads. Den slags sker ikke uden drama i en organisation præget af indgroede traditioner og store personligheder. Hesseldahl tager livtag med en kultur, hvor den udøvende altid har været i højsædet, mens forbrugeren i lange perioder kun har været en eftertanke. En kultur, hvor det at lede og udvikle organisationen først er kommet på dagsordenen de seneste år. Hesseldahls karriere har bragt ham vidt omkring fra forlagsbranchen over Det Danske Filminstitut til DR og nationalscenen. Bogen giver indblik i hans ledelsesstil, i de konflikter og udfordringer, han har mødt undervejs, og de løsninger og resultater, han har skabt.

Natten er lige begyndt
En kølig decemberaften i Colombias bjerge kidnapper oprørsbevægelsen FARC en ung dansker. Snart efter stilles hans arbejdsgiver, en stor dansk entreprenørvirksomhed, over for et krav om en løsesum i millionklassen. Kidnapningen sætter en kædereaktion i gang, og virksomhedens direktør må ud i tvivlsomme manøvrer for at redde sit livsværk. Samtidig blander en bodybuildet storinvestor med tætte forbindelser til de colombianske narkokarteller sig i sagen, og situationen udvikler sig faretruende. Det gælder også for en lille gruppe aktivister, der erfarer, at overgangen fra teori til praksis kan være skæbnesvanger. Og at overlevelse i et snedækket København ikke bare er et spørgsmål om at have de rigtige meninger, men om basale instinkter. NATTEN ER LIGE BEGYNDT er en spændingsroman om konfrontationen mellem kynisme og idealisme, og om alt det, der kommer i klemme, når normale hensyn tilsidesættes, og alle går efter den store gevinst.
Inside The Writers' Room
Television drama has come to rival cinema in its sophisticated narrative form and high production values. At the heart of this success is the television writer, and TV has become the home of some of the most exciting and high quality writing. In a series of original interviews, showrunners and writers from some of the biggest American TV dramas of recent years share their experiences and practices of the 'writers' room', on shows such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Game of Thrones. Christina Kallas frames these insider insights with an astute overview of the writer's instrumental role in the rise of sophisticated TV narrative, and concluding reflections which will be invaluable to writers, critics and fans alike.
