Ancestral North
Ancestral North: Spirituality and Cultural Imagination in Nordic Ritual Folk Music offers a detailed exploration of Nordic ritual folk music, a music scene focused on the revival of ancient folkways and archaic music that has found remarkable popularity around the globe. Once the domain of Viking reenactors and neopagan practitioners, the niche sonic and visual aesthetics of this music have found widespread visibility through a new generation of popular films, television series, and video games. The authors argue that many of these musical and media products connect with longstanding cultural attitudes about the Nordic region that conceive of it as wild, exotic, and dangerous, while also being a place of honor, community, and virtue. As such, the Nordic region and its music often becomes a vessel for reactionary escapes from all manner of modern discontentment. However, the authors also posit that spending time re-creating the music of an imaginary past offers participants the possibility for engagement and re-enchantment in the multicultural present.

L'arte nordica di vivere all'aperto
Per gli scandinavi il contatto con la natura è una vera e propria filosofia. Friluftsliv è un atteggiamento, uno stile di vita in cui si abbraccia la natura e si sta all’aria aperta per rigenerarsi e ritrovare l’equilibrio. Non ci sono competizione, tecnologia o motori: solo noi e la natura. Non conta il tipo di attività o il luogo, conta il ritrovare dentro di sé il rapporto con l’ambiente e gli spazi aperti attraverso l’esperienza diretta, assaporando i silenzi e il ritmo più lento. Linda McGurk ci offre una guida essenziale adatta a chi vive in campagna o in città. Un invito a rallentare nella moderna società frenetica e a connetterti con il mondo naturale. Ci mostra come migliorare la nostra salute fisica e mentale, come pure i rapporti con le altre persone e l’ambiente circostante. Il friluftsliv ci introduce a un’ampia gamma di usanze e pratiche scandinave incentrate sul rallentare i ritmi frenetici e trascorrere sempre più tempo all’aperto, adottando un modo di vivere che si afferma morbidamente ma, per la sua piacevolezza, lo fa in maniera duratura e, senza dubbio, insostituibile.
Haircuts by Children, and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract
We live in an "adultitarian" state, where the rules are based on very adult priorities and understandings of reality. Young people are disenfranchised and powerless; they understand they're subject to an authoritarian regime, whether they buy into it or not. But their unique perspectives also offer incredible potential for engagement and innovation. Cultural planner and performance director Darren O'Donnell has been collaborating with children for years through his theatre company, Mammalian Diving Reflex; their most well-known piece, Haircuts by Children (exactly what it sounds like) has been performed internationally. O'Donnell suggests that that working with children in the cultural indus...
Friluftsliv: Норвежский ключ к счастливой жизни

Какой способ выбрать, решайте сами. Frilu+ sliv может быть совсем незамысловатым, как вечерняя прогулка по окрестностям, или очень продвинутым, как многодневный поход с рюкзаком в далек...

The Nordic Art of Friluftsliv
Whereas the popular Danish philosophy of hygge espouses the joys of turning your home into a cosy sanctuary, the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv encourages us to get out into the great outdoors. However, friluftsliv - or 'free air life' - means much more than going on camping trips; it reflects an innate understanding of the basic human need to connect with the natural world. Rather than seeking to conquer nature - climb the highest mountain, for example - it is about simply spending time with nature and finding harmony with its rhythms. In Norway, even city dwellers are never far from fjords, parks, and woodland, but this book explains how anyone can enter a friluftsliv state of mind, make the most of their outdoor opportunities and reap the benefits for their mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
