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 GBP 35.99 1

Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises Nordic Perspectives Migrant women stepping into ethnic catering; homeless men employed to take care of bees producing honey for sale; young people on the edge getting microcredit funding to start social businesses; or former criminals joining forces to create social and economic structures for an honest lifestyle. These initiatives capture the transformative power of social enterprise and might indicate how social enterprises have the potential to make a difference for people and societies. The Nordic countries represent an interesting case. Social enterprises and co-operatives played a significant part in paving the way for the Nordic solicaristic welfare state. As the welfare state grew civil society organizations and co-operatives lost ground to a certain extent. But in recent decades the welfare state has been restructured and simultaneously the concepts social entrepreneurship and social enterprises have gained attention. The Nordic context with extensive public welfare structures and a high degree of citizens’ participation in public affairs might affect the emergence of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. | Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises Nordic Perspectives GBP 42.99 1
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.

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?

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 GBP 38.99 1
