Giganten
I grålysningen en desemberdag i 1972 lander den ambisiøse lederskikkelsen Arve Johnsen i Stavanger. Oppdraget er å etablere hovedkvarteret til det statlige norske oljeselskapet i Nordsjøbyen. Selskapet får snart navnet Statoil og blir symbolet på det norske oljeeventyret. I "Giganten" forteller den prisbelønte forfatteren Aage Storm Borchgrevink for første gang historien om Statoil i bokform. Vi følger ledere, ingeniører og tillitsvalgte gjennom skiftende regjeringer og verdensbegivenheter som Sovjetunionens fall og 11.september. Det er en historie som strekker seg gjennom fem tiår - om visjonære lederskikkelser, politiske stridigheter og ufattelig rikdom, men også ulovlige streiker, livsfarlig arbeid og et utlandsengasjement som etterhvert skal koste norske liv. Ettersom fortellingen skrider frem, kommer klimatrusselen til syne. Hvordan kan Equinor ta skrittet ut av oljealderen?
Arctic Cinemas
Arctic cinemas represent a noteworthy new subfield of film studies, and in the current era of unprecedented global warming, interest in the Arctic region and its cinematic portrayals has never been greater. Individually and collectively, films pertaining to Arctic inhabitants and experiences have substantially influenced viewer perceptions of the region throughout the world, often serving as blank slates for the fantasies and projections of individuals elsewhere with regard to its challenging landscape and perceived "otherworldliness." Written by a blend of academic scholars, artists, and filmmakers, this collection of essays provides a transnational overview of the variety of works--ranging from art films and documentaries to horror and road movies--that fall under the conceptual rubric of "Arctic cinemas," and examines their contributions to past and present perceptions of the Arctic. Theoretical and analytical approaches represented here include critical theory, cultural studies, ecocriticism, ethnography, gender studies, genre theory, historiography, and indigenous studies.
The North Sea System for Petroleum Production

Saami Linguistics
The papers in this volume describe and analyze an array of intriguing linguistic phenomena as they occur in the Saami languages, ranging from etymological nativization of loanwords to the formation of deadjectival and denominal verbs. Saami displays a number of characteristics that are unusual from a cross-linguistic perspective, including partial agreement on verbs, a three-way quantity distinction in consonants and spectacular consonant gradation. The eight papers presented here approach these and other issues from diverse theoretical perspectives in morphology, phonology, and syntax. The volume includes an extensive research bibliography which will be helpful for anyone interested in Saami linguistics.
