Between 1600 and 1800 around 4,000 Catholic women left England for a life of exile in the convents of France, Flanders, Portugal and America. These closed communities offered religious contemplation and safety, but also provided an environment of concentrated female intellectualism. The nuns’ writings from this time form a unique resource.

Theoretically informed and empirically grounded, Rethinking Obesity invites readers to reconsider the medical and public health framing of population weight (gain) as a massive global problem, epidemic or crisis. Attentive to social values, scientific uncertainty and possible harms, the book furthers critique of the weight-centred health paradigm and world war on obesity. Building upon existing international literature from critical weight studies, fat studies and critical obesity research, the book advances scholarship with reference to body politics and health policy, epidemiology and obesity science, media reporting and weight-related stigma.The authors resist the common moralised narrative that ‘the overweight majority’ are lazy, gluttonous, and personally responsible for their actual or potential ills and the solution ultimately necessitates individual lifestyle change. Critique is also extended to seemingly compassionate public health interventions that putatively avoid victim-blaming through an appeal to ‘the obesogenic environment’, a consequence of modern living. Empirical case studies are grounded in women’s repeated and often frustrating experiences of dieting and schoolgirls’ encounters with fat pedagogy, which challenges dominant obesity discourse. Recognising that declared public health crises may become layered and cascade through society, this book also includes timely research on the COVID-19 pandemic response amidst concerns about lockdown weight-gain, heightened risk of infection and death among people deemed overweight and obese.Rethinking Obesity interrogates how social injustice is reproduced not only through cruelty but also through seemingly benevolent representations, pedagogies and policies. Alternative approaches and action, ranging from weight-inclusive health paradigms to broader social change, are also considered when seeking to foster collective hope in crisis times. This is valuable reading for students and researchers in medical sociology, social and population health sciences, physical education, critical weight and fat studies, and the social dimensions of the body.

I 17 kapitler giver en række idéhistorikere og antropologer hver deres bud på idéhistorien og antropologiens forskelle og ligheder og ikke mindst, hvordan fagene kan lade sig inspirere af hinandens tilgange, empiri og spørgsmål. Men kapitlerne løfter sig også fra den faginterne snak og rummer en række små historier om den finurlige verden derude med fænomener som: Klædeskabe, arkiver, medicin, skattelovgivning, videnspolitik, statistik, ubehag, koordinerede kroppe, internettet, oprindelsesfortællinger, Nintendo-spil, frihed, varulve, museer, blæst, gældsslaver og Elon Musk. Bogen er blevet til som et samarbejde mellem ansatte og studerende på Antropologi og Idéhistorie og er derfor ikke kun en samtale mellem fag, der normalt ikke snakker sammen, men også mellem ansatte og studerende, hvor den ene part normalt taler, og den anden lytter. Her forsøges noget andet. Udgivelsen er fagfællebedømt.

Har liberalismen segrat ihjäl sig? Det råder ingen tvekan om att Sverige förändrats kraftigt i liberal riktning de senaste årtiondena. De flesta skulle nog också hålla med om att förändringarna gick snabbast i slutet av 1980-talet och början av 1990-talet. Men hur ser framtiden ut? Är liberaliseringarnas epok till ända? Har liberalismen gjort sitt och andra idéströmningar tagit över? I En bit på väg skriver fjorton liberalt sinnade skribenter om framtiden och de utmaningar som liberalismen står inför i dag: Hur hanterar liberaler klimathotet? Hur human är Sveriges asyl- politik? Finns det något kvar att avreglera? Har de nuvarande riksdagspartierna vad som krävs för nya liberala reformer? Redaktörer är Andreas Bergh och Gabriel Ehrling. Antologin är framtagen av Bertil Ohlininstitutet och Liberala ekonomklubben i samverkan.
The Encomium Emmae Reginae is a political tract in praise, as its title suggests, of Queen Emma, daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy, wife of King Ethelred the Unready from 1002 to 1016, and wife of the Danish conqueror King Cnut from 1017 to 1035. It is a primary source of the utmost importance for our understanding of the Danish conquest of England in the early eleventh century, and for the political intrigue in the years which followed the death of King Cnut in 1035. It offers a remarkable account of a woman who was twice a queen, and of her determination to retain her power as queen-mother. This reprint, which contains the definitive text and translation of the Encomium Emmae Reginae first published in 1949, traces the basic outline of Queen Emma's career and transports us to the heart of eleventh-century politics by defining as clearly as possible the historical context in which the Encomium was written.

I never have been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall. Emma Woodhouse is certain of one thing: that she's an excellent matchmaker ...even though she's never been in love. Emma dives into the game of finding an admirer for her newest project, Harriet Smith. But Emma quickly realizes she's in over her head and that she might lose everything if she keeps playing. Beautifully presented for a modern teen audience, this is the must-have edition of Jane Austen's timeless romantic satire.
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich. Also, rather spoiled, and overly-confident in her matchmaking abilities with the residents of her village in Highbury. Though convinced that she herself will never marry, Emma sets out to find an eligible match for her new friend, Harriet Smith. But matters of the heart are never simple. Emma's obsession with finding Harriet the perfect partner leads her into a complex tangle of intrigues, misunderstandings, and conflicts of interest, after several new admirers come to the fore...admirers whose sights are set upon the wrong woman. Jane Austen's charming novel of love, friendship, and social grace is a timeless classic - as poignant and riveting today as it has been for generations of readers since its initial publication.
