Concurrent Imaginaries, Postcolonial Worlds
Brydon, Forsgren, and Fur’s Concurrent Imaginaries, Postcolonial Worlds demonstrates the value of reading for concurrences in situating discussions of archives, voices, and history in colonial and postcolonial contexts. Starting with the premise that our pluriversal world is constructed from concurrent imaginaries yet the role of concurrences has seldom been examined, the collection brings together case studies that confirm the productivity of reading, looking, and listening for concurrences across established boundaries of disciplinary or geopolitical engagement. Contributors working in art history, sociology, literary, and historical studies bring examples of Nordic colonialism together with analyses of colonial practices worldwide. The collection invites uptake of the study of concurrences within the humanities and in interdisciplinary fields such as postcolonial, cultural, and globalization studies.
European Cosmopolitanism
This book provides a fresh examination of the cosmopolitan project of post-war Europe from a variety of perspectives. It explores the ways in which European cosmopolitanism can be theorized differently if we take into account histories which have rarely been at the forefront of such understandings. It also uses neglected historical resources to draw out new and unexpected entanglements and connections between understandings of European cosmopolitanism both in Europe and elsewhere. The final part of the book places European cosmopolitanism in tension with contemporary postcolonial configurations around diaspora, migration, and austerity. Overall, it seeks to draw attention to the ways in which Europe’s posited others have always been very much a part of Europe’s colonial histories and its postcolonial present.
Judith & Abram
Judith and Abram Popinski were lovers who survived the Holocaust. These are their true stories. They met in the Lodz ghetto in 1941. When the ghetto was emptied in 1944, they each began a long journey to Auschwitz and through a series of other extermination and labour camps. Finally they were rescued in April 1945 and reunited in Sweden that summer. There they built a new life together. These are their own stories. That we survived was pure luck, both say. It took many miracles to stay alive, and the miracles were far too few in the ghetto and the extermination camps, Abram concluded. Judith writes that she was born twice, the first time in Lodz in 1923 and the second time in 1945 when the S...

Zweedse en Zweedstalige Finse auteurs in Nederlandse vertaling 1491-2007. Een bibliografie / Svenska och finlandssvenska författare i nederländsk översättning 1491-2007. En bibliografi
Het algemene beeld van Zweedse literatuur in het Nederlandstalig gebied is die van Pippi Langkous, een creatie van Astrid Lindgren, die van politiecommissaris Wallander van Henning Mankell en Lisbet Salander uit de Millenium reeks van Stieg Larsson. Slaat men Zweedse en Zweedstalige Finse auteurs in Nederlandse vertaling 1491-2007. Een bibliografie. Svenska och finlandssvenska författare i nederländsk översättning 1491-2007. En bibliografi open, dan ziet men in een oogopslag dat er heel wat meer auteurs uit het Zweeds in het Nederlands door de eeuwen heen zijn vertaald. Door bibliografieën als deze in het onderzoek naar de cultuurbemiddeling te betrekken wordt het mogelijk een completer beeld te krijgen van vertaalde buitenlandse literatuur. Deze bibliografie geeft samen met de bibliografie van Diederik Grit over de Deense letteren in Nederland en Vlaanderen (1986) en de bibliografie over Noorse literatuur in Nederlandse vertaling van Raf De Saeger (2013, ook in deze serie) een bijzonder overzicht van de culturele contacten tussen Nederland en Scandinavië.
