Detoxing Masculinity in Anglophone Literature and Culture
This edited volume rethinks Masculinity Studies by breaking away from the notion of the perpetual crisis of masculinity. It argues that not enough has been done to distinguish patriarchy from masculinity and proposes to detox masculinity by offering a collection of positive representations of men in fictional and non-fictional texts. The editors show how ideas of hegemonic and toxic masculinity have been too fixed on the exploration of dominance and subservience, and too little on the men (and the male characters in fiction) who behave following other ethical, personal and socially accepted patterns. Bringing together research from different periods and genres, this collection provides broad, multidisciplinary insights into alternative representations of masculinity.

The Compassionate Imagination
A radical reimagining of the role of art and culture in contemporary democracy, The Compassionate Imagination proposes a new Canadian Cultural Contract that re-humanizes our way of living together by tapping into the instincts for generosity and compassion that find their expression in art. Over the last forty years, the arts have been increasingly deemed unimportant to the creation of an educated workforce. Reflecting a broadly held political view that in a market-based economy the arts were “a frill,” they were deemed “unnecessary” courses compared to sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. But what kind of Canada might we make if we were to place art and culture at the heart of our mutual decision-making, and return the arts to a central position in our education, shifting to steam rather than stem? What might be possible if we integrate the creative imagination into our responses to the great social challenges we face? What impact would it have on the future shape of our democracy? It’s time to find where the Compassionate Imagination can take us.

Ett litet snedsprång
Elegant crime kallar Denise Rudberg sin nya genre. Det är kriminalhistorier i överklassmiljö, med tjusiga middagar, designkläder och lätt uttråkade hemmafruar på vift i Djursholm. Miljön känns igen från hennes tidigare böcker, och den rymmer allt som behövs för att skapa en spännande historia - makt, pengar, flärd och dekadens. Marianne Jidhoff, 55, är nybliven änka. Hennes make Hans Larson, riksåklagare, var vid sin död en hyllad man, en rättvisans trogna tjänare. Men han var inte lika trogen sin hustru som han var trogen rättvisan. Marianne fanns trots detta vid hans sida in i det sista. Precis som hon alltid gjort. Själv utbildad åklagare, födde hon i stället tre...
