Urbaniseringen av Åland

Urbaniseringen av Åland

Bjarne Lindström

Libraria
2025
sidottu
På 100 år har förhållandet mellan stad och landsbygd på Åland förändrats avsevärt, men utvecklingen inleddes redan på 1800-talet. År 1861 grundas Mariehamn med målet att bli en betydande hamn för storfurstendömet Finlands utrikeshandel. Konkurrensen med Hangö förändrar allt, men den åländska centralorten finner andra vägar. Under det senaste seklet har Mariehamn stigit fram som den dominerande orten, både för boende och arbete. Utvecklingen är ingalunda ovanlig - en stor del av världen har upplevt motsvarande urbanisering - men i ett unikt samhälle som Åland har särdragen varit flera. Unika drivkrafter såsom sjöfarten har varit avgörande, men historiska skeenden, utländskt inflytande och migrationsströmmar har likaså bidragit med överraskningar. Vad kan då sägas sticka ut i utvecklingen jämfört med omvärlden? Vad har drivit urbaniseringen på Åland? Har omvandlingen varierat eller gått framåt i jämn takt? Hur har skärgården påverkats? Kan dagens Åland karaktäriseras som ett ”färdigutvecklat” urbant samhälle? Med statistiska data som grund analyserar samhällsgeografen Bjarne Lindström två sekler av åländsk samhällsutveckling. Boken ges ut av Ålands kulturstiftelse i samarbete med Libraria.

Sexual Ideology in the Works of Alan Moore

Sexual Ideology in the Works of Alan Moore

McFarland Co Inc
2012
pokkari
Alan Moore, the idiosyncratic, controversial and often shocking writer of such works as Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and V for Vendetta, remains a benchmark for readers of comics and graphic novels. This collection investigates the political, social, cultural, and sexual ideologies that emerge from his seminal work, Lost Girls, and demonstrates how these ideologies relate to his larger body of work. Framed by Moore's insistence upon deconstructing the myth of the superhero, each essay attends to the form and content of Moore's comics under the rubric of his pervasive metaphor of the "politics of sexuality/the sexing of politics."

Paleobotany and Biogeography: A Festschrift for Alan Graham in His 80th Year

Paleobotany and Biogeography: A Festschrift for Alan Graham in His 80th Year

Missouri Botanical Garden Press
2014
sidottu
Alan Graham's accomplishments over a botanical career that spans six decades can be measured by the approximately 250 papers and books that he has published during this time; however, equally significant are his 38 years of teaching at Kent State University and his subsequent 12 years as Research Associate at the Missouri Botanical Garden. This festschrift contains 14 papers prepared by 56 of Alan's friends and colleagues representing 15 nationalities and working in 27 institutions. The participants do not exhaust the list of people who have collaborated with Alan throughout his long and productive scientific career, or the many students who received their degree under Alan Graham, but the papers they have contributed represent those fields in which Alan has had the greatest impact through his work. Taken together, they not only advance knowledge but also demonstrate closely that the efforts of Alan Graham during the course of his career will carry on for centuries in the future as we find greater clarity and develop even more robust hypotheses of the evolution of the vegetation of the Americas.

Discoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill

Discoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill

Susan Corcoran

Christian Faith Publishing, Inc
2021
pokkari
Alan Thornhill was the human mirror of a loving God and the most delightful and trustworthy of friends. He never used pompous jargon. What people needed was the clear word of the Holy Spirit speaking in their inner ear. His Christianity was not skin deep. It went right through him to the very marrow of his being.-Graham Turner, British journalist and authorDiscoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill is a series of short reflections taken from his sermons. Alan Thornhill's great love of people and his gift of storytelling make these reflections very accessible as a roadmap for those seeking a deeper faith. He was both a priest and playwright and so was able to share profound truth from the stage or the pulpit with humor, personal stories and honesty that challenge the reader. The reflections are a jumping-off point for those who wish to explore inner listening and to seek fresh personal insights.

Sex and Sensibility in the Novels of Alan Hollinghurst

Sex and Sensibility in the Novels of Alan Hollinghurst

Palgrave Macmillan
2017
sidottu
Winner of the British Association for Contemporary Literary Studies (BACLS) 2017 Edited Collection PrizeThis book is a challenging and engaging collection of original essays on the novels of Alan Hollinghurst, Britain’s foremost gay writer and the English novel’s master stylist. The essays engage the precarious and shifting relationship between sex and literary sensibility in his novels and, thus, also attempt to establish the parameters of a new critical discourse for future research on Hollinghurst’s novel, queer theory and the contemporary literary representations of masculinity and sexuality. By coupling the consideration of Hollinghurst’s aesthetics, his sensuously evocative style, to an interrogation of the social, political and sexual currents in his texts, the contributors of this collection provide distinctive interpretations of Hollinghurst’s novels, from Hollinghurst’s uncovering of a gay artistic heritage to his re-signification of earlier English literary styles, from his engagement with the Symbolist fin de siècle to his critique of aestheticism, etc., whilst paying close attention to the formally innovative qualities of his texts.
