Experiencescapes
"Experiences have become the hottest commodities the market has to offer. No matter where we turn, we are constantly inundated by advertisements promoting products that promise to provide us with some ephemeral experience that is newer, better, more thrilling, more genuine, more flexible, or more fun than anything we have previously encountered. In turn, consumers themselves are increasingly willing to go to great lengths, invest large sums of money, and take great risks to avoid "the beaten track" and "experience something new."" "Working with an interdisciplinary approach, this book critically analyzes the significance this market for experiences (and interest in them) is having as a generative motor of cultural and socioeconomic change in modern society."--Jacket.
Cultural Semantics and Social Cognition
Presenting original, detailed studies of keywords of Danish, this book breaks new ground for the study of language and cultural values. Based on evidence from the semantic categories of everyday language, such as the Danish concept of hygge (roughly meaning, ‘pleasant togetherness’), the book provides an integrative socio-cognitive framework for studying and understanding language-particular universes. It is argued that the worlds we live in are not linguistically and conceptually neutral, but rather that speakers who live by Danish concepts are likely to pay attention to their world in ways suggested by central Danish keywords and lexical grids. By means of a sophisticated semantic methodology, the author accounts for the meanings of even highly culture-specific and untranslatable linguistic concepts. The book offers new tools for comparative research into the diversity of semantic and cultural systems in contemporary Europe. Additionally, it contributes to the emerging discipline of cultural semantics, and to the ongoing debates of linguistic diversity, metalanguage, and the use of linguistic evidence in studies of culture and social cognition.
The A to Z of Denmark
Denmark is the oldest monarchy in Europe. At different points in its history, Denmark's boundaries have encompassed England, Sweden, West Africa, India, and the West Indies. Despite its changing and relatively small boundaries, Denmark has played a much larger part in the politics of Europe than might be expected. Additionally, through its territories (Faroe Islands and Greenland), Denmark has managed to retain an important presence in the North Atlantic. Today, democratic Denmark, with its thriving capital Copenhagen, is peaceful, prosperous, and progressive. Within NATO, Denmark has contributed to peace-keeping in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia. The "Danish Model" of welfare gives Danes a rea...
The Asylum Seeker
As a political refugee, Sulkhan Zhordania embarked on a breathless, exuberant journey of his imagination. Roaming the alleys and nooks of his mind, besieged by those who loved and hated him most, he contrived a complex tapestry of flashbacks and observations closely connected by the cruel, unpredictable circumstances of life which by the end of 2014 took shape of his autobiographical novel The Asylum-Seeker. With range and effect, philosophical weight, variety of characterization and tragic intensity, Sulkhan Zhordania captured better than anyone the collision of the State and the ego, the intrusion of the past into the skin, the conscience of every individual alive. Hope and disappointment, betrayal and love had been long there waiting for him to point out the truth

Historical Dictionary of Denmark
Denmark has a millennium-long continuous history and development from Viking times (about 800-1050 AD) to the modern welfare state.
