Animal Poetics and Literary Thinking explores and reorients our approach to animal thinking through the intersection between literary fiction, continental philosophy, and theory. This book situates animals and animality as neither a corporeal entity nor a conceptual essence, but as a scintillating "impossibility" that concurrently encourages and overturns our grasping impulse to know animals from their perspectives. This framework corresponds with the milieu of literature as poesis, which is uniquely connected to a refusal to know. By exploring the writings of J.M. Coetzee, Franz Kafka, Mary Shelley, and Kazuo Ishiguro, this volume encounters a template of animal thinking that seeks to uncover the singularity of animals through a sustained exploration of what remains radically unknowable about animality, the vestiges of which have their presence in the world of literary fiction.

Ecologies of Incarceration: Carceral Discard Studies in the Anthropocene offers a compelling exploration of the intersections between carceral systems, environmental concerns, and political ideologies. This interdisciplinary work examines how prison literature and narrative witness reveal the complexities of our contemporary world, shedding light on the systemic issues that link environmental degradation with carceral practices. With a nuanced analysis of how these intertwined systems impact individuals and communities, drawing on diverse examples to illustrate the broader implications of these interactions, the text offers practical insights for activists and community builders while providing a guide for those seeking to understand and address the challenges of our time through collective action and critical engagement.

How did Nordic culture become associated with the fuzzy brand “cool”, as by default? In Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary History twenty-one scholars in collaboration question the seemingly natural fit between “Nordic” and “Cool” by investigating its variegated trajectories through literary history, from medieval legends to digital poetry. At the same time, the elasticity and polysemy of the word “cool” become a means to explore Nordic literary history afresh. It opens up a rich diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches within a regional framework and reveals hitherto unseen links between familiar and less familiar tracks and sites. Following diverse paths of “Nordic cool” in respect to – among other things – nature, survival, love, whiteness, style, economics, heroism and colonialism, this book challenges all-too-recognisable narratives, and underlines the sheer knowledge potential of literary historical research.

This open access book presents an in-depth analysis of data from ICCS. An international group of scholars critically address the state of civic and citizenship education in the four Nordic countries that participated in the IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) in 2009 and 2016. The findings are of particular relevance to educators at all levels, from school education through to teacher education. Nordic countries have long traditions of democracy and their students have performed relatively well in the ICCS assessments. Nonetheless, citizenship education continues to evolve and has received increasing attention in recent educational reforms, indicating policymakers understanding that schools play an important role in establishing democratic values among future citizens. Data from ICCS can be used to analyze, discuss, and reflect on the status of civic and citizenship education and can contribute to the discourse on the potential role of education in contributing to sustainable democracies for a common future. However, teaching citizenship and learning democracy are two different things. While young people can be taught about democracy in school, it is vital that schools work together with the wider community in which youth operate to strengthen civic understanding and values for all young people regardless of their social and economic background.

After a period of extraordinary economic growth at the turn of the twenty-first century, the economy of Iceland collapsed into the deepest and most rapid peacetime fiscal crisis ever recorded. Seeing the development of the capital area through the lens of scarcity, triggered new urban and regional questions and ecological approaches to design. This book considers both the crash and its aftermath as an opportunity to distil an intense snapshot of how ecological and human systems are interrelated, and how different ways of wiring those systems might lead to better and more resilient solutions. This publication derives from a case study on the built environment in the Reykjavik capital area in the light of the financial meltdown in October 2008. It is the work of the participants in the case study and a number of invited contributors from different fields; researchers, artists and activists that offer different perspectives on the case. The case study is a part of a larger European project, Scarcity and Creativity in the built Environment (SCIBE), funded by HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area). The work presented suggests a new spirit of development applicable to various cultures and climates beyond Iceland.
