How to grasp poetry in its contemporary digital situation, a situation wherein poetry travels across digital and analoge media platforms and intended or not collaborates with computers? Situating Scandinavian Poetry in the Computational Network environment investigates how heterogeneous forms of poetry in Scandinavia interact with and work in a digital media environment, how digital programmable and network media intervene with and shape new poetic forms or remediate older forms of poetry, and how digital and digitalized poetry through its self-reflexivity sheds light on digital media technology and its role for poetry and potentially for literature and aesthetics more in general. In doing so, it also argues for the importance of close reading poetry in digital media. It includes an historical and theoretical approach to poetry in digital media and analysis of poetic works in Scandinavia. The book is written within the framework of posthumanism and what N. Katerine Hayles calls "technogenesis", and makes up the argument that contemporary poetry constitutes and is constituted by a computational network environment of human and non-human subjects, wherein poems travels in an egalitarian media ecology . The book is relevant for researchers and students in the field of poetry, students and researchers in the field of literary studies, media studies and digital culture studies, and teachers interested in presenting newer forms of poetry for their students.

Soils and sediments influence current processes, preserve evidence of past processes, indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies. They provide an important key to the integration of short-term process studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. This book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists.

This book draws on historical and cross-disciplinary studies to critically examine penal practices in Scandinavia. The Nordic countries are often hailed by international observers as ‘model societies’, with egalitarian welfare policies, low rates of poverty, humane social policies and human rights oriented internal agendas. This book, however, paints a much more nuanced picture of the welfare policies, ideologies and social control in strong centralistic states. Based on extensive new empirical data, leading Nordic and international scholars discuss the relationship between prison conditions in Scandinavia and Scandinavian social policy more generally, and argue that it is not always liberating and constructive to be embraced by a powerful welfare state. This book is essential reading for researchers of state punishment in Scandinavia, and it is highly relevant for anyone interested in the ‘Nordic Model’ of social policy.

The literature of Scandinavia is amazingly rich and varied, consisting of the works produced by the countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, and stretching from the ancient Norse Sagas to the present day. While much of it is unknown outside of the region, some has gained worldwide popularity, including the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, the stories of Isak Dinesen, and the plays of Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg. While obviously including the area's most famous works, the Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater also provides information on lesser known authors and currents trends, literary circles and journals, and historical background. This is accomplished through a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries, which together make this reference the most comprehensive and up to date work of its kind related to Scandinavian literature and theater available anywhere.

Avec ses agencements non cloisonnés et lumineux, son exécution raffinée, ses lignes pures et ses matériaux naturels, le style scandinave partage les idéaux du design moderne et possède un charme durable et intemporel. L'esthétique du design scandinave est fondée sur la discrétion raffinée, la retenue - les meubles et les équipements sont élégants mais fonctionnels, les accessoires et les tissus d'ameublement réalisés avec art - c'est l'alliance parfaite de la sophistication et de la simplicité. Inspiration Scandinavie examine en détail et par l'image le design, l'architecture et la décoration traditionnels en Suède, au Danemark, en Norvège, en Finlande et en Islande. L'ouvrage propose un riche éventail d'idées d'inspiration scandinave pour l'intérieur contemporain. L'auteur, Bradley Quinn, journaliste spécialisé dans l'art et la décoration, a vécu et travaillé plusieurs années en Suède. Il retrace l'évolution des styles de construction et des traditions décoratives de chacun des pays nordiques en fonction du climat et de la géographie et examine leur incidence sur les espaces intérieurs. Il étudie les principaux mouvements et influences du style scandinave, de l'héritage des artisans vikings aux œuvres des plus éminents designers contemporains. Au fil des chapitres consacrés à l'architecture, à l'art de vivre moderne, aux meubles, aux traditions décoratives et à l'artisanat d'art, l'élégance et la rusticité d'antan fusionnent avec le design le plus moderne pour former un style capable de s'intégrer avec succès aux autres styles de décoration intérieure. De l'agencement intérieur aux meubles individuels, tout est conçu dans le double souci de la beauté et de la fonctionnalité, pour faciliter la vie quotidienne et lui apporter confort et agrément. Des photos historiques d'intérieurs scandinaves originaux présentent les créations classiques conservées à ce jour. Elles sont complétées par plus de 150 photographies, réalisées tout spécialement par le Suédois Alexander Crispin, qui illustrent les multiples et passionnantes façons de combiner les traditions et les créations décoratives uniques de la région pour les adapter et les appliquer à l'intérieur moderne, Que l'on soit inspiré par les meubles encastrés et les rangements qui permettent un gain de place, les intérieurs non cloisonnés modulables, les matériaux naturels ou les meubles classiques créés par des designers comme Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Eliel Saarinen et Verner Panton, Inspiration Scandinavie est un ouvrage essentiel et une riche source d'idées et d'inspiration.

"An evidence-based approach to crime and justice policy can go a long way toward ensuring that the best available research is considered in decisions that bear on the public good. However, the term "evidence-based" is characterized by a great deal of rhetoric. Indeed, there remains a marked disjuncture between calls for "evidence-based" policy and an understanding of what it means for policy to be "evidence-based." The calls for evidence-based policy nonetheless provide a powerful foundation for propelling a movement toward bringing about rational, cost-effective, and humane policies for the betterment of society. This handbook showcases the state of research on evidence-based crime and justice policy and the challenges that impede its creation and use. The volume has three core objectives: to promote new and productive ways to think about evidence-based policy; to demonstrate how research can contribute to and guide evidence-based policy in juvenile justice, criminal justice, and alternatives to system responses; and to identify strategies that can increase reliance on evidence-based policy. To meet these objectives, each chapter is guided by several central questions: What do we know about evidence-based policy and practice in crime and justice? How can we improve knowledge of evidence-based policy and practice? How can we promote more use of evidence-based policy and practice? Taken as a whole, the volume emphasizes the critical need for policies that are grounded in high-quality research, that address critical research gaps, and that fully acknowledge the limitations of what extant research can do to inform policy decisions"--
