Tyk og Feminist:Afsnit 1 i podcastserien De Fede Feminister
No full textHvad er tykfobi? Hvad har tykhed med feminisme at gøre? Og er der forskel på tykaktivisme og kropspositivitet? Få svar på disse og mange flere spørgsmål i podcast-serien De Fede Feminister. Med afsæt i egne erfaringer diskuterer kulturforskerne Lene Bull Christiansen og Maj Heiselberg hvordan den tykke krop fremstilles, opleves og problematiseres i et moderne velfærdssamfund som Danmark. Med hjælp fra deres gæster stiller værterne skarpt på emner såsom sundhedsvæsenet, slankeindustrien og medierne i forsøget på at blive klogere på fænomenet ’tykhed’. Podcasten er en del af forskningsprojektet FAT (Feminist Activism in Transition) og er finansieret af Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond

Horizons of enchantment: essays in the American imaginary
Full text linkAbout the Book
(from upne.com) Lene M. Johannessen\u27s Horizons of Enchantment is about the peculiar power and exceptional pull of the imaginary in American culture. Johannessen\u27s subject here is the almost mystical American belief in the promise and potential of the individual, or the reliance on a kind of modern magic that can loosely be characterized as a fundamental and unwavering faith in the secular sanctity of the American project of modernity. Among the diverse topics and cultural artifacts she examines are the Norwegian American novel A Saloonkeeper\u27s Daughter by Drude Krog Janson, Walt Whitman\u27s Song of Myself, Rodolfo Gonzales\u27s I Am Joaquín, Richard Ford\u27s The Sportwriter, Ana Menéndez\u27s In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd, essays by Samuel Huntington and Richard Rodriquez, and the 2009 film Sugar, about a Dominican baseball player trying to make it in the big leagues. In both her subject matter and perspective, Johannessen reconfigures and enriches questions of the transnational and exceptional in American studies. (from upne.com).
