  • - Uncertain Pathways to the Future
    af Ulla Rahbek, Robert C. Thomsen, Sara Dybris McQuaid, mfl.
    318,95 kr.

    As witnessed during the very close 2014 referendum on Scottish independence and during the 2016 referendum on British EU membership, sub-state national identities in Britain remain strong and increasingly challenge the idea of a United Kingdom. In Britain Today, topics and key subjects are chosen to reflect the most important social, political, and cultural issues in Britain today, with a focus on those that Scandinavian lecturers and students will find particularly important and engaging.This thoroughly revised second edition includes two new chapters on Socio-Economic Structures and Stratification and on Britain and the European Union. Topics and key subjects are chosen to reflect the most important social, political, and cultural issues in Britain today, with a focus on those that Scandinavian lecturers and students will find particularly important and engaging.Avoiding overly descriptive approaches, the book provides introductions to prominent ideas, social, political, and cultural critique and responses, all of contemporary relevance. In addition to providing the necessary basic and factual information, the book and its homepage suggest student assignments, topics for presentations and essays, and literature for further reading. The chapters of the book are organized thematically and arranged in balanced and substantial modules. This means that each chapter can stand alone and need not be read or taught as part of a particular sequence. This allows lecturers to easily design a course on the basis of Britain Today according to their own preferences or curricular demands.On the book's website http://britaintoday.hansreitzel.dk/, you can find assignments, relevant links and suggestions for further reading.

  • - Encounters, Conversations and Contemporary Diasporic African Literature
    af Ulla Rahbek & Eva Rask Knudsen
    483,95 - 1.408,95 kr.

    In Search of the Afropolitan explores human encounters and moments that speak to the challenges of being a 21st century African of the world. Against the background of an engaging evaluation of the heated debate on Afropolitanism and what constitutes an Afropolitan, the authors turn to literature and its intrinsic capacity for unfolding the human figure of the African as inherently complex and multidimensional. Through a detailed probing of the Afropolitan in literary narratives, the book enters into conversations about self-understanding and the signification of Africa in the contexts of global mobility. The book conceives of Afropolitanism as a flexible space of inquiry that curbs the inclination to set the definition of the ';ism' in stone. Instead, it attempts to distil, through close-up character analyses, a multifarious sense of what it means to be Afropolitan in the contemporary moment. In that sense, the encounters we come across in the literary narratives produce unexpected ontological negotiations on what it means to be African in the world today. As a special feature of In Search of the Afropolitan, the authors' conversations with prominent writers, thinkers, and critics provide a lively context for the ongoing debate on Afropolitanism and the Afropolitan.

Teksterne er fra så forskellige steder som Australien, England, USA, Kina, Vietnam, Skotland, New Zealand, Vestindien og Nigeria og udgør en ’samtale’ mellem forfattere, kulturer og læsere.Tekstlæsning samt analyse og fortolkning er i fokus i Global Voices. Det er bogens mål at lære eleverne at læse med teori, så de lærer at bruge begreber som ’home’, ’identity’ og ’globalisation’ i deres læsning. Bogen udvikler elevernes kompetencer inden for åbenhed, tolerance, interaktion og interkulturel dialog, så de bliver bedre rustede som globale borgere.Global Voices består af 11 kapitler, der hver har et tematisk fokus som fx identitet, kolonisering eller historie. Hvert kapitels tekster er sat sammen, så der internt i kapitlet er en ’samtale’ mellem de to-fire tekster. Til hver tekst er der pre-reading, questions on the text og post-reading excercises. Forfatteren giver også i opgaverne forslag til, hvordan teksterne ’taler sammen’ på tværs af kapitlerne.
