24 kärnfulla feelgoodtexter som inspirerar, ger mersmak och förmedlar budskapet att det aldrig är för sent. Anna-Kari förmedlar livets känslor och händelser med värme och kärlek. Efter varje text är jag berörd och uppfylld av insikter, hopp och liv. Underbart att hon blandar generationer, åldrar och olika samhällsklasser i texterna. Jag är förbluffad över hur dessa korta texter berikar så mycket. Sandra Ulmbrant Nyström, Tranås Min absoluta favorit bland texterna är "Sista Suckens äldreboende", nu har alla verkligen något att se fram emot. Jag är 81 år och änkeman, precis som boktiteln säger: Det är aldrig för sent. Tack för att du med dina texter bringar livsglädje till oss alla. Jerry Bielke Johansson, Vetlanda Anna-Kari formulerar sig fabulöst, vrider och vänder på orden, beskriver situationer som får läsaren att befinna sig i händelsernas centrum. På ett magiskt sätt håller hon läsaren i schack och suger på karamellen ända till det oväntade slutet. Kerstin Haldosén, Stockholm Detta är Anna-Kari Lauréns debutbok. Anna-Kari Laurén är född och uppvuxen i Stockholm, sedan många år boende i Vetlanda kommun, nyligen pensionerad efter ett yrkesverksamt liv som lågstadielärare.

Norrland är natur, energi, modernitet, naturtillgångar, vildmark, exploatering, ursprung, avfolkning, turism, kolonialism, utveckling, glesbygd, periferi, tystnad, fantasi, nationalparker, rå verklighet, kamp... Norrlandslitteratur är vildmarksromantik, realism, utopi, modernism, motstånd, lokal, solidarisk, politisk, sär, ursprunglig, folklig arbetarskildring... Alla dessa föreställningar om Norrland och dess litteratur. Alla går de att problematisera, vända och vrida på, analysera. Och det är vad litteraturvetare gör i den här antologin. Utifrån den teoribildning som brukar kallas ekokritik läser forskarna olika slags texter - hemmahörande i ett tidsspann som sträcker sig från Fredrika Bremer till Stefan Spjut, och innefattande, bland annat, Torgny Lindgrens berättarkonst och Vattenfalls policydokument - på sätt som visar hur de förhåller sig till dessa föreställningar. Därmed blottläggs också hur texterna i sitt förhandlande om norrländsk identitet avtecknar sig mot det moderna samhällets grundläggande uppdelning mellan kultur och natur, människa och miljö. Uppdelningens konsekvenser är i dag otäckt tydliga, när den faller samman inför de globala utmaningar som präglar vår tid.

Gender equality and welfare politics in Scandinavia
The limits of political ambition?

Gender equality is often seen as a hallmark of the Nordic countries. This book explores this notion by examining the meanings of gender that underpin policies in the Scandinavian welfare states, historically and today. The book focuses on three Scandinavian countries - Denmark, Norway and Sweden - and explores the policy reforms that have occurred relating to family and care. Beginning with the radical marriage reform carried through in all the three countries in the early decades of the 20th century, the book progresses to explore contemporary challenges to the traditional model of equality, including equal rights for fathers, multiculturalism and a critical young generation. The book focuses on differences as well as similarities between the countries and discusses the relevance of talking about a Nordic model. Stressing the importance of viewing the concept of equality in its historical context, the book critically investigates and discusses the Scandinavian 'success story' portrayed in normative political theory and presents an historical analysis of the development of gendered citizenship rights.It will be a valuable collection for researchers, lecturers and graduate students who work with historical and contemporary studies on welfare state and gender models from different disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspectives.

Justice and Recovery for Victimised Children
Institutional Tensions in Nordic and European Barnahus Models
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

This open access book contributes to ongoing discussions about how societies should respond to children who have experienced violence and abuse by delving into the Barnahus model: a multidisciplinary and co-located model whose aim is to provide both justice and recovery to victimised children. The promising model was first implemented in the Nordic region and is currently being diffused across Europe, although scientific knowledge about the model remains scarce: the Barnahus model’s potential for delivering holistic services, the various tensions and dilemmas involved in the model, and how dual mandate of Barnahus can be managed all require further research. Continuing from the volume Collaborating Against Child Abuse (2017) which examined the process of Barnahus’ diffusion in the Nordic countries, the current book digs deeper into the intrinsic institutional tensions of the model, as well as those that might arise during collaboration, in order to advance our understanding of what can be achieved through the model and thus improve the situation of child victims of violence and abuse. An institutional perspective is used in the book which is structured in four parts. The first three parts explore different types of institutional tensions –legal, organisational, and professional-ethical, while the fourth focuses on how these tensions may be balanced. The book’s authors chart this new phase in the diffusion and translation of the Barnahus model. Their analyses will provide valuable guidance to countries that are currently considering or are already implementing the model.

Historians have long been interested in knowledge - its nature and origin, and the circumstances under which it was created but it has only been in recent years that the history of knowledge has emerged as an academic field in its own right. In Circulation of Knowledge, a group of Nordic scholars explore a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to this new and exciting area of historical research. The question of knowledge in motion is central to their investigations, and especially how knowledge is transformed when it circulates between different societal arenas, literary genres, or forms of media. Reflecting on twelve empirical studies, from sixteenth-century cartography to sexology in the 1970s, the authors make a significant contribution to the growing international research on the history of knowledge.

This extensive publication, complete with hundreds of illustrations by such renowned artists as Carl Larsson, Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Helene Schjerfbeck, Pekka Halonen, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Gerhard Munthe, Pietro Krohn, and Frida Hansen, among others, offers an unprecedented study of Japanese influence on the visual arts in the Nordic countries. This unlikely diffusion of Japanese culture, known collectively as Japonisme, became increasingly apparent in England, France, and elsewhere in Europe during the 19th century, although nowhere was the influence seemingly as pervasive as it was throughout the Nordic countries. The book reveals how the widespread interest in Japanese aesthetics helped to establish notions of a fundamental unity between the arts and transformed the region’s visual vocabulary. The adoption of Japanese motifs and styles in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark gave a necessary cohesion to their existing artistic language, creating a vital balance within and among all of the decorative arts.Distributed for MercatorfondsExhibition Schedule:Ateneum Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki(02/18/16–05/15/16)National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo(06/16/16–10/16/16)Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen(01/19/17–04/23/17)

I dagens globala kunskapsintensiva ekonomier konkurrerar länder om att locka till sig högutbildad arbetskraft.
Till Sverige kommer sådan arbetskraft antingen som rekryterad, på eget initiativ eller som flyktingar. I regel är de framgångsrika på arbetsmarknaden och inom sina yrken, men deras väg till att erkännas som fullvärdiga medborgare och yrkespersoner är ofta kantad av motgångar och problem. Känslan av att inte riktigt höra till kan finnas kvar trots att de levt många år i landet. Födelseland, möjligheter till uppehållstillstånd och hudfärg hör till det som kan påverka en individs livsvillkor.
I den här antologin presenteras aktuell forskning om högutbildade migranter i Sverige. De medverkande författarna delar med sig av kunskap och insikter om allt från politik, migranters representation på arbetsmarknaden och myndigheters handläggning av arbetstillstånd till migranternas egna erfarenheter av yrkes- och vardagsliv och deras strävan efter delaktighet och erkännande.
Boken är skriven för en bred läsekrets och riktar sig förutom till forskare också till studenter, journalister, tjänstemän, politiker och en intresserad allmänhet.

The V&A has the world's most important collection of nineteenth-century temple hangings from South India, but only one of the smaller pieces has ever been published. For the first time these amazing objects have been documented and made public. The hangings are of two main types: large narrative pieces from Andhra Pradesh which tell stories from the Ramayana, the exploits of Krishna or tales connected with South Indian deities, and smaller pieces from Tamil Nadu. A single extraordinary Ramayana hanging from Sri Lanka is also included. All of the pieces are illustrated in their entirety, along with ample details that highlight the remarkable skill and regional styles of the narrative artists. Each piece is accompanied by a brief summary of its story, but the full 'frame-by-frame' narrative is described in a separate illustrated catalogue section. This detailed section will also provide translations of all the Telugu and Tamil inscriptions that accompany the narratives, translated especially for this project.As well as the description of the pieces themselves, there will be a general introduction about how such pieces were used and their regional stylistic variations and a chapter on technique and how they fit into the broader picture of Indian textiles, by V&A curator Rosemary Crill.

Citizenship is a core concept for the social sciences, and citizenship is also frequently interpreted, challenged and contested in different political arenas. Shaping Citizenship explores how the concept is debated and contested, defined and redefined, used and constructed by different agents, at different times, and with regard to both theory and practice.The book uses a reflexive and constructivist perspective on the concept of citizenship that draws on the theory and methodology of conceptual history. This approach enables a panorama of politically important readings on citizenship that provide an interdisciplinary perspective and help to transcend narrow and simplified views on citizenship. The three parts of the book focus respectively on theories, debates and practices of citizenship. In the chapters, constructions and struggles related to citizenship are approached by experts from different fields. Thematically the chapters focus on political representation, migration, internationalization, sub-and transnationalization as well as the Europeanisation of citizenship.An indispensable read to scholars and students, Shaping Citizenship presents new ways to study the conceptual changes, struggles and debates related to core dimensions of this ever-evolving concept.

'I adored this book - a wondrous compendium of Iceland's best sagas' - Hannah KentA new friendship. An unforgettable journey. A beautiful and bloody history.This is Iceland as you've never read it before ...Broadcaster Richard Fidler and author Kári Gíslason are good friends. They share a deep attachment to the sagas of Iceland - the true stories of the first Viking families who settled on that remote island in the Middle Ages.These are tales of blood feuds, of dangerous women, and people who are compelled to kill the ones they love the most. The sagas are among the greatest stories ever written, but the identity of their authors is largely unknown.Together, Richard and Kári travel across Iceland, to the places where the sagas unfolded a thousand years ago. They cross fields, streams and fjords to immerse themselves in the folklore of this fiercely beautiful island. And there is another mission: to resolve a longstanding family mystery - a gift from Kari's Icelandic father that might connect him to the greatest of the saga authors.

CAT MARNELL, author of How to Murder Your LifeAdopted from South Korea by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, and ran with the 'bad crowd' in a bid to fit in. Stealing from shops soon turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and, before she knew it, Kari had graduated from petty theft to the state's most-wanted list.Though she was able to escape her hometown for the bright lights of New York, she couldn't outrun her new monicker: the Hipster Grifter. But beyond the internet infamy, headlines and speculation, there's a side to Kari the media never saw - until now.

Winner: Mountain Literature (Non Fiction) The Jon Whyte Award, Banff Mountain Book Competition 2019Waymaking is an anthology of prose, poetry and artwork by women who are inspired by wild places, adventure and landscape.Published in 1961, Gwen Moffat’s Space Below My Feet tells the story of a woman who shirked the conventions of society and chose to live a life in the mountains. Some years later in 1977, Nan Shepherd published The Living Mountain, her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm mountains to life. These pioneering women set a precedent for a way of writing about wilderness that isn’t about conquering landscapes, reaching higher, harder or faster, but instead about living and breathing alongside them, becoming part of a larger adventure.The artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nan’s legacies, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and most importantly a taste of restoring mind, body and spirit to a former equanimity.With contributions from adventurers including Alpinist magazine editor Katie Ives, multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald, adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, renowned filmmaker Jen Randall and many more, Waymaking is an inspiring and pivotal work published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender equality are at the fore.
