Between Ragnarok and welfare utopia: A cultural-historical deconstruction
by Bernd Henningsen
— Analysis of how we view Europe's North and how this image emerged — An outsider's perspective on Nordic societies and their self image — Serves as an introduction into Northern European culture and society Our image of Northern Europe has been shaped by projections and desires in the long history of encounters: berserkers and war atrocities, bad weather, beautiful nature, stable political systems, social welfare, equality and prosperity, peacefulness, low corruption, hygge and Bullerby – all this is part of the Nordic narrative. But what about the religious, linguistic and ethnic homogeneity, what about the muchvaunted Nordic cooperation? How do politics "work" in the North? Why are Northern Europeans the happiest people?

December 2009Dawn Song
by Michael Marano, Eva Bauche-Eppers
Berückend schön, unvorstellbar grausam. Boston in der Vorweihnachtszeit 1990: Lawrence, ein melancholischer, verletzlicher Buchverkäufer, der vergeblich versucht, über die Trennung von seinem Liebhaber hinweg zu kommen, ahnt nicht, daß die sehr attraktive junge Frau, die in sein Haus zieht, ein mächtiger Sukkubus ist – eine Kreatur des Bösen, die ihre Erscheinung wechselt und menschliche Seelen aufsaugt. Und so werden die Straßen von Boston zum Austragungsort eines uralten Kampfes zwischen zwei verfeindeten Kräften des Bösen.

March 2007Das Mittagsmahl
by Volker Braun, Baldwin Zettl
Das ist auf schmalem Raum die Kindheit des Autors. Ja, sieh nur zu, an Liebe sollst du mich nicht übertreffen: So warb sein Vater Erich um die Braut, und der Sohn geht ihm nach, in die warme Kammer, in den Panzergraben. Er/ich ist die Person, nach der er fahndet; »ich bin es, der sein Leben wagt«. In diesem Leben hatte man zu kämpfen, und Volker Braun zeigt ergreifend das Kampfgeschehen, in das absurderweise Vater und Mutter gestellt sind. Beim Mittagsmahl erreicht die Mutter und die fünf Söhne die Nachricht, daß der Vater gefallen sei, »wie das Sterben im Krieg heißt«. Zeitlebens warf sie sich vor, daß sie ihn gehen gelassen hat. 50 Jahre später erlebt sie ein unverhofftes Wiedersehen, im Traum; und plötzlich stand ihr das ganze Rätsel vor Augen, das ihr Leben war: daß sie so herzlich am Tisch gesessen und Blut in der Suppe gewesen war. Volker Braun unternimmt es, vom »Schönsten und Schrecklichsten«, von deutscher Geschichte zu schreiben. Die Werke des Leipziger Kupferstechers Baldwin Zettl, geboren 1943, beeindrucken durch ihre handwerkliche Präzision und artifizielle Meisterschaft.

The ArtsJune 2021Claire Denis
by Martine Beugnet
Claire Denis is one of France's most acclaimed and original filmmakers. Since her remarkable debut success with 'Chocolat' (1986), she has produced an impressive series of features which have been intriguing, visually striking, and often highly controversial (including 'Beau Travail' (2000) and 'Trouble Every Day' (2001)). Beugnet provides a thematic and stylistic framework within which to consider Denis' work, as well as a comprehensive analysis of individual films. She highlights the resonance of Denis' films in relation to ongoing debates about French national identity and culture, and issues of postcolonial identity, alienation and transgression, as well as examining their exploration of the interface between sexuality, desire and sensuality. This is an essential introduction to Denis, and a sophisticated and illuminating study of her work to date.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2024The mediated Arctic
Poetics and politics of contemporary circumpolar geographies
by Johannes Riquet
The mediated Arctic analyses the multiple relations between geography and cultural production that have long shaped - and are currently transforming - the circumpolar world. It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticise various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney's Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos, and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analysed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2022Crossing borders and queering citizenship
Civic reading practice in contemporary American and Canadian writing
by Zalfa Feghali
Can reading make us better citizens? In Crossing borders and queering citizenship, Feghali crafts a sophisticated theoretical framework to theorise how the act of reading can contribute to the queering of contemporary citizenship in North America. Providing sensitive and convincing readings of work by both popular and niche authors, including Gloria Anzaldúa, Dorothy Allison, Gregory Scofield, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Erín Moure, Junot Díaz, and Yann Martel, this book is the first to not only read these authors together, but also to discuss how each powerfully resists the exclusionary work of state-sanctioned citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. This book convincingly draws connections between queer theory, citizenship studies, and border studies and sheds light on how these connections can reframe our understanding of American Studies.
