Mediatized Fan Play Moods Modes and Dark Play in Networked Communities

Mediatized Fan Play Moods Modes and Dark Play in Networked Communities

Addressing fans’ digital practices this book places fans’ play at the centre of a networked mainstream culture that seems to increasingly cater to amalgamate with and adapt to fans’ mediatized play. Through case studies of the fan communities of the Hamilton musical and Norwegian streaming hit SKAM along with examples from many other online fan communities the book dives into how fans navigate and create play rules as part of their community-building in a networked digital landscape and how they use the digital affordances of social media to engage in language play. It analyses the role of mediatized fan play in the context of political culture and identifies processes of fanization as fans’ play moods and modes are integrated into politics. Finally the book discusses the role of fan play in the context of the global conspiracy theory QAnon as those instigating the conspiracy and those who are fans of the movement engage in dark play and deep play respectively. The book suggests that we might understand fan communities as pioneer communities in the sense that there is increased value placed on fans’ mood work and fan play is integrated into other societal domains. This is an engaging book for scholars and students studying media studies and cultural studies particularly courses on fan studies film studies television studies and mediatization. | Mediatized Fan Play Moods Modes and Dark Play in Networked Communities

Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

This volume explores the complex and contradictory ways in which the cultural scientific and political myth of whiteness has influenced identities self-perceptions and the process of integration of Nordic immigrants into multicultural and racially segregated American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In deploying central insights from whiteness studies postcolonial feminist and intersectionality theories it shows that Nordic immigrants - Danes Swedes Finns Norwegians and Sámi - contributed to and challenged American racism and white identity. A diverse group of immigrants they could proclaim themselves ‘hyper-white’ and ‘better citizens than anybody else’ including Anglo-Saxons thus taking for granted the racial bias of American citizenship and ownership rights yet there were also various unexpected intersections of whiteness with ethnicity regional belonging gender sexuality and political views. ‘Nordic whiteness’ then was not a monolithic notion in the USA and could be challenged by other identities which could even turn white Nordic immigrants into marginalised figures. A fascinating study of whiteness and identity among white migrants in the USA Nordic Whiteness will appeal to scholars of sociology history and anthropology with interests in Scandinavian studies migration and diaspora studies and American studies. | Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

How have three decades of neoliberalism affected the Nordic welfare states as well as the organisation education and practices of social work in those countries? During recent decades the welfare states of Denmark Finland Norway and Sweden have gone through dramatic changes infl uenced by the political triumph of neoliberalism. This has led to both the electoral success of extreme right and mainstream neoliberal parties and to the neoliberal ideological transformations of social democratic parties. The neoliberal doctrine of making governance cheaper has thus been made the focus of governance and has led to increased marginalisation and social problems. This is the first book to comparatively explore the role of neoliberal reforms on social work and social policy across the Nordic welfare states. The richly theoretical and empirical chapters explore and illustrate the consequences of the dominance of neoliberal policies and provide an analysis of the effects of globalisation glocalisation welfare nationalism symbolic violence and forced migration. The book provides valuable insights into the shortcomings of retreating welfare states in a time of increasing glocal social problems. Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work should be considered essential reading for critical social work education. Students scholars educators and researchers of Nordic countries and beyond have much to learn from this book. | Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies individual freedom economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness productivity growth quality of life prosperity and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically consensus continuity social cohesion and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary however political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks threats and worry. Social disintegration political polarization geopolitical anxieties and threat of terrorism are often dominant themes. This book focuses on what appears to be a paradox: countries with low income differences high faith in social institutions and relatively high cultural homogeneity becoming fixated on the fear of polarization disintegration and diminished social trust. Unpacking the presentist discourse of worry and a sense of interregnum at the face of geopolitical tensions digitalization and globalization as well as challenges to democracy the chapters take steps back in time and explore the current conjecture through the eyes of historians and social scientists addressing key aspects of and challenges to both the contemporary and future Nordic Model. In addition the functioning and efficacy of the participatory democracy and current protocols of decision-making are debated. This work is essential reading for students and scholars of the welfare state social reforms and populism as well as Nordic and Scandinavian studies.

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

This book examines the ways in which mixed ethnic identities in Scandinavia are formed along both cultural and embodied lines arguing that while the official discourses in the region refer to a post-racial or color blind era color still matters in the lives of people of mixed ethnic descent. Drawing on research from people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the author offers insights into how color matters and is made to matter and into the ways in which terms such as ethnic and ethnicity remain very much indebted to their older racialized grammar. Color that Matters moves beyond the conventional Anglo-American focus of scholarship in this field showing that while similarities exist between the racial and ethnic discourses of the US and UK and those found in the Nordic region Scandinavia and Norway in particular manifests important differences in part owing to a tendency to view itself as exceptional or outside the colonial heritage of race and imperialism. Presenting both a contextualization of racial discourses since World War II based on documentary analysis and new interview material with people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the book acts as a corrective to the blind spot within Scandinavian research on ethnic minorities offering a new reading of race for the Nordic region that engages with the idea that color has been emptied of legitimate cultural content. | Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Elaborating with the concepts of culture and religious literacy this volume examines theoretical methodological and empirical aspects of the practice and study of religion and non-religion culture spirituality and worldviews within healthcare.

This collection reflects on the tension between cultural religious and spiritual dimensions of care in a secularized healthcare institution and describes implications of this tension for healthcare professionals and patients. The book engages with an ongoing scholarly discussion about religious literacy in healthcare and contributes perspectives experiences and empirical examples from the Nordic countries especially Sweden. It gives suggestions for practical application of research to healthcare practice highlighting challenges and ideas for how to integrate religious non-religious and spiritual dimensions in care.
