        Oslo und Bergen – Lieblingsorte

        by Knut Hoem

        Zwei fantastische Städte in einem Band: Oslo begeistert mit nordischem Künstlerflair und exzentrischer Kulinarik. In Bergen schlendern wir stundenlang durch schmale Gassen. Gemeinsam liefern die Städte einen schillernden Eindruck des fernen Nordens. In Oslo starten wir mit einem Morgenspaziergang durch den Vigelandpark und einem Besuch des Vigeland-Museums in den Tag. Sein Namensgeber hat die gesamte Anlage mit nackten Figuren bestückt – unter ihnen ein entkleideter Beethoven! Auf den Schock erst einmal eine ordentliche Mahlzeit. Wie wäre es mit Rentier-Granatapfel-Pizza im Café des Kunstnernes Hus? Wir setzen auf die Halbinsel Bygdøy über: Mit Ausblick auf die alten Wikingerschiffe begegnen wir der blühenden Geschichte Norwegens. Anschließend geht es früh ins Bett – denn morgen treten wir die atemberaubende Überfahrt nach Bergen an …Schienen tragen uns vorbei an Schafherden und Fjorden, im Fischerdorf Flåm steigen wir in das Express-Schiff nach Bergen: Fünfeinhalb Stunden später gleiten wir in das Hafengebiet Vågen. Links und rechts reihen sich die farbenfrohen Fassaden schmaler Holzhäuser aneinander, es duftet nach selbstgeröstetem Kaffee. Wir folgen der Spur und kehren in Det lille Kaffekompaniet ein. Gut gestärkt spazieren wir auf den Berg Fløyen, der uns eine malerische Aussicht über die Hansestadt bietet. Am Abend kehren wir beim berühmtesten Kind der Stadt ein: Edvard Griegs ehemaliges Wohnhaus Troldhaugen am See Nordåsvannet ist Veranstaltungsort zahlreicher Sommerkonzerte. Unsere Reise-Reihe im insel taschenbuch führt Sie zu Orten, von denen viele bald zu Ihren Lieblingsorten werden könnten und zu denen Sie immer wieder zurückkehren möchten.

        Civil war London

        Mobilizing for parliament, 1641–5

        by Jordan S. Downs

        This book looks at London's provision of financial and military support for parliament's war against King Charles I. It explores for the first time a series of episodic, circumstantial and unique mobilisations that spanned from late 1641 to early 1645 and which ultimately led to the establishment of the New Model Army. Based on research from two-dozen archives, Civil war London charts the successes and failures of efforts to move London's vast resources and in the process poses a number of challenges to longstanding notions about the capital's 'parliamentarian' makeup. It reveals interactions between London's Corporation, parochial communities and livery companies, between preachers and parishioners and between agitators, propagandists and common people. Within these tangled webs of political engagement reside the untold stories of the movement of money and men, but also of parliament's eventual success in the English Civil War.

        The double game of music

        Paradoxes of power, status and class in music education

        by Live Weider Ellefsen, Petter Dyndahl, Anne Jordhus-Lier, Siw Graabræk Nielsen

        The double game of music imagines music education as a series of games - each with its own rules, play currency and players - to challenge readers to rethink the significance of music and musical upbringing in shaping social structures. Drawing on their own empirical research and a wide range of international contributions, the authors unravel the intertwining of social positioning and power hierarchies with players beliefs in the pure values and virtues of their games, whether these relate to parenting, children's play, schooling, academic pursuits, musical leisure activities or the television and music industries. In a world where music is often celebrated as an important tool for inclusion and democratisation, this groundbreaking book offers a timely critique, revealing complexities and contradictions that tend to be overlooked by teachers, researchers, politicians and others interested in the powers of music education.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.
