Glocal Perspectives on Danish Television Series:Co-Producing Crime Narratives for Commercial Public Service
No full textIn the article, I argue that theories of transnationalism do not fully explain contemporary tendencies within television funding practices. Instead, I claim that the concept glocalization may contribute with perspectives that explain the co-existence of local, national, regional and global finances in television drama production. With Anne Marit Waade, I have documented that crime series has been a very important component in the international attention towards Danish television drama (Hansen and Waade 2017), while crime series has been dubbed ““natural” transnational cop stories” (Bondebjerg 2016, 5). Compared with for instance comedy series, the funding composition of crime series appear exceedingly glocal, and for that reason the perspective in this chapter focusses on television crime series. Based on interviews with key informants, I will use the two latest crime series from TV2, Greyzone (2018-) and Kriger (Warrior, 2018), as two examples of glocal television drama production

No full textPotentials of light in urban spaces defined through scenographic principles
No full textIn urban spaces, lighting is often designed based on legal requirements thatensure it is possible to navigate and feel safe. This article examines howscenographic principles for the use of lighting in the theatre can provideinspiration for designing lighting that supports everyday activities in urbanspaces. In scenography, light is a poetic tool that enhances the experience,which can be defined as a relation between the actor, the space, and the light.Hereby, the light creates an atmosphere that amplifies the drama. The focusof this article is to investigate whether it is possible to use scenographic principles to create a connection between space, people, and light.Through a literature search, theories are explored within scenography, urbandesign, social science, and lighting design. A literature analysis leads to thedefinition of the architectural and social potential of light. The aim is thatthese potentials will inspire the design of lighting in the urban context byincluding the visual connection among people, space, and light, which weknow from the theatre, and thereby provide an improved visual and socialexperience of the illuminated urban space

Taste for democracy:A critique of the mechanical paradigm in education
No full textIn this article we argue for the need to rethink the crisis of democracy both within and beyond education (Toft and Rüsselbæk Hansen, 2017). This crisis can be explained variously, depending on how it is understood and on what basis. From our point of view, and with inspiration from thinkers as Nietzsche, Arendt, Agamben and Rancière, we argue that the crisis of democracy in today’s schools is related in part to the weak form of authority ascribed to certain individual and collective aesthetic experiences. The scientific experience has been assigned a strong form of ‘evidenced based authority’. As a result of a powerful belief that not all forms of experiences, for instance the aesthetical ones, which are not based on a mechanical logic, are worth paying attention to and are of value, scientific experience has gained hegemonic status. Illustrated by several examples, which stem from both Danish and Canadian educational contexts, we show how aesthetic experiences have the potential to revitalize democratic practices and undermine tyrannical regimes of technocracy in education. We recommend that the concept of Bildung (self-cultivation), which is orientated towards vertical (Apollonian) as well as horizontal (Dionysian) transcending processes, must be given renewed attention. Opportunities for students to play with and suspend the social order, even temporarily, are important if students are to experience themselves, others and the world in new ways. By engaging students’ aesthetic sensibilities in multiple ways, playful schools both produce and provoke the dominant social order thereby fostering students’ taste for democracy
