‘You come as a human being…’
Research shows that the arts hold a particular potential for promoting health, well-being and social inclusion for vulnerable people. However, the use and consumption of the arts tend to be socially skewed in favour of people with high cultural, social and economic capital. While extensive research has been conducted on how to create equal access to arts activities for vulnerable groups, little research has investigated how to ensure meaningful e…
Theorising the collective in British estate literature
This article attends to recent examples of British estate literature, a literary form which extends across disparate genres and media. In general, estate literature attempts to correct pernicious prejudices about communities centred on the council estate, stereotypes which align classist, racist, and sexist rhetoric to marginalise this population. In addition to locating recent examples of estate literature – Caleb Femi’s, Poor (2020), Anders Lus…
“We're opening 20 doors!“
Retirement is a significant life transition, bringing with it structural and social alterations in everyday life. For older men, work life is an important source of identity and meaning, and retirement may therefore lead to diminished well-being due to loss of occupational attachments. This calls for a need to address men's life transitions in health-promoting interventions and to explore how to introduce positive changes in retired men's mental …
It's not that I don't have things to do. It just all revolves around me” – men's reflections on meaning in life in the transition to retirement in Denmark
The Potential of Precarity? Imagining Vulnerable Connection in Chris Dunkley's The Precariat and Amy Liptrot's The Outrun
Reading contemporary literature can clarify a difficult and contested – yet important – argument made by Judith Butler and Isabell Lorey in their theorizations of precarity. For Butler and Lorey, precarity is an ambivalent condition: precaritization is a mode of domination, yet it also opens up new opportunities for creating political community. Such an argument runs the risk of seeming to justify or defend neoliberal exploitation. But we show ho…
Modern tragedies in self-help literature, blogs and online universes
Focusing on the configuration of the relationship between fate and freedom of action, this article analyses recent self-help literature and online communities, particularly the genre that centres on the concept of resilience. The selected works and websites all address readers who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. The article focuses on how the relationship between fate and freedom is represented in three literary figures: the reader, w…
Hvem kan tale for prekariatet – og hvorfra?
Artiklen handler om hvordan prekariatet viser sig i fire markante tekster fra den danske samtidslitteratur og en meget set dokumentar- og reportageserie fra Danmarks Radio. Indledningen forbinder krisen i den nordiske velfærdsmodel, nyere dansk litteraturforskning og bevægelser i international teori. Analyserne fokuserer på spørgsmål om synsvinkel, anerkendelse og repræsentation i en række behandlinger af livet i en moderne betonghetto. De litter…
Forstod hun hvor frustrerede og ulykkelige de var?”
The Danes, in general, seem extremely averse to innovation, and if happiness only consist in opinion, they are the happiest people in the world; for I never saw any so well satisfied with their own situation. Yet the climate appears to be very disagreeable, the weather being dry and sultry, or moist and cold; the atmosphere never having that sharp, bracing purity, which in Norway prepares you to brave its rigours

Assebakte tombs and row‐hearths. Did the Sami once practise cremation
Sammendrag Etter at begrepet Assebaktegraver ble lansert og de første 26 utgravde graver ble publisert av forfatteren i 1979 (Simonsen 1979) er meget nytt materiale framkommet, både fra Norge, Sverige og Finland. Samtidig er det skapt usik‐kerhet, om dette i virkeligheten er graver eller ildsteder. Jeg har her oppsummert situasjonen i 1997. En del detaljer i anleggene er beskrevet og analysen. Konklusjonen er at anleggene sansynligvis er graver ,…
The Stone Ages of the Tjong Peninsula
Sammendrag Artikkelen beskriver et prosjekt som forfatteren har gjennomført på Tjongshalvøya, Rødøy kommune på Nord‐Helgeland i årene 1980–1994. Her ble ved omhyggelig registrering dokumentert 42 funnsteder fra steinalderen. Av disse ble det foretatt utgravninger på de 6, nemlig “Skogveien” fra tidlig Mezolitikum, Haugvik, Kila og to steder i Segerådalen fra Neolitikum og “Ágveien” fra tidlig metalltid. Gjennom en nøye analyse av funnstedenes top…
