Gendered Constructions of Leadership in D anish Job Advertisements
The purpose of this article is to consider the gender imbalance at top management level from a discourse analytical perspective.

Talking translation
It is a well-known fact that most translators are women and it is a fact which is often mentioned in translation discourse: translation is a so-called female occupation. But is this also a relevant fact and in which ways? In this article we aim to investigate how male and female translators talk about their occupation and whether gender is a relevant factor in how translators perceive their work. Our data consists of 18 narratives written by 9 ma…
Thematising intercultural collaboration

If Language is a Game - These are the Rules
Recent years have seen a growing interest in the areas of metaphysics, spiritualism, psychotherapy and the like. New Age concepts such as ‘transcendence’, ‘self-realization’, ‘meditation’ and ‘holism’ (which in the 1960s were restricted to the hippies and their mind-expanding drugs) have now become fully accepted, widely acknowledged and, not least, used by people both inside and outside the New Age community. In the wake of this ‘popularization’…
