The five Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - frequently attract attention as examples of a 'Nordic model'. The meanings of the term vary, but especially since the global financial crisis of 2008-9 the Nordic countries have often been portrayed positively, as examples of economic dynamism, innovation and social equality. Studies of these images of the Nordic countries and Nordic region and their international circulations are now a well-established field of research. This volume explores how the Nordic model has been shaped by global entanglements, in exchange not only with Western Europe and North America, but also with the Global South. Drawing on selected case studies, the volume offers new perspectives on the meanings of the Nordic model and Nordic exceptionalism in a global context during the half century since c. 1970.

Touting informal settlements or informality in general as illegal, crime-ridden, unsafe, filthy, chaotic, and formal developments as legal, orderly or safe, and so forth has not solved anything and informality as a way of life or an economic reality lingers and grows. Demystifying informal urban design and planning delves deeper into this conundrum and seeks to debunk some common misguided perceptions about it. Borrowing popular philosophical and political analogies from Isaiah Berlin and Gregory Treverton and others, it encourages urban designers and planners to become multitaskers like foxes rather than hedgehogs who can do one thing right. The book ends with some general takeaways on assuming more proactive roles in informal urban design issues and avoiding two potential pitfalls while interacting with them.

How will physiotherapy adapt to developments and challenges in the 21st century? New thinking while keeping the tried-and-tested: This is the motto adopted by eight physiotherapy researchers and practitioners in this handbook. Their contributions advance the theory for their discipline. They have met regularly at the so-called Berlin Salon since 2015: they analyze, discuss, and incorporate existing models and adopt a theory. They are all professionally qualified physiotherapists with further training in fields such as health science, education, and therapy management. They all suffer from the lack of theory in professional practice, and they have all experienced the diverse, often unconscious discourses in the field. Theoretical understanding and theory development require theory-driven reflection, the results of which have long since left the Berlin Salon and been adopted internationally. Target Group: Physiotherapists, healthcare scientists, university instructors

Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.

Over the last twenty years there have been flurries of interest in the artist's model, and recent exhibitions have stimulated new activity in this area. Model and Supermodel extends the discussion about the social and cultural significance of the model in British art and culture. A fascinating collection of essays and interviews, it examines the persistent mythology of the artist's model and some of the ambiguities involved in depicting the body. The volume begins with Martin Postle's survey of the profession of the model during the period c.1840-1940. Elizabeth Prettejohn considers the Pre-Raphaelite model and Alison Smith examines the lives of some nineteenth-century models who achieved fame and notoriety in their own right. Jane Desmarais looks at the model from a literary perspective and Reena Suleman presents the work of Edward Linley Sambourne. Michael Hatt's essay examines the aesthetic and ethical aspects of Tuke's use of boy models for his paintings of nude bathers, and William Vaughan reflects on the British figurative tradition from Sickert to Freud. Catherine Wood brings the volume up to date with her essay on the found model in contemporary art, and the volume concludes with two interviews with the artist, Peter Blake, and a life model, Susannah Gregory. The book offers a series of lively takes on the phenomenon of the artist's model. It will make fascinating reading for those interested in modern art and the wider aspects of British culture and society.

Design and Popular Entertainment offers a selection of nine essays that examine the range of design for popular entertainment, from theatre and film, to television and radio. Investigating entertainment design from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s, the book is divided into two sections. The first addresses the 'hardware' of popular entertainment, in other words the objects through which images, sound and performance are transmitted. The second explores the construction of cinematic and televisual imagery and the design of objects for the screen, the 'software' of entertainment. In so doing it offers important insights into this little explored aspect of design. Topics covered by the collection include the design of theatrical lighting and stage sets, cinema and radio design, the representation of designers within film, and the relationship between design and television. The book's concentration on the 1950s and 1960s reflects the profound changes in modes of entertainment that took place during that period, in particular the spread of television, which not only attracted a huge popular audience but also stimulated experimental designing approaches and thinking. With particular focus on the way that both the objects and the construction of entertainment have altered audience's experience, the essays present a novel approach to the subject. This book will be of particular interest to students and teachers working in design and cultural history as well as film and theatre studies. ;

Der oder das Kalkül? Der Titel dieses Buches läßt die Frage bewußt offen. Der Kalkül stellt auf das von der Logik bereitgestellte Instrument zur Durchführung von Berechnungen ab. Das Kalkül meint die Berechnung selbst im Hinblick auf ein anderes, im Kalkül selbst nicht Erfaßtes. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes geht es um G. Spencer Browns »Gesetze der Form« im doppelten Sinne der Form eines Kalküls, der eingesetzt wird und Berechnungen ermöglicht, in denen er selbst noch einmal vorkommt als das, was er nicht erfaßt. Der Band enthält die allererste Besprechung der »Gesetze der Form«, die Heinz von Foerster für die kalifornische Ökofibel »Whole Earth Catalog« geschrieben hat, sowie Beiträge, die Spencer Brown im Kontext des optionalen Konstruktivismus, der modernen sowohl zwei- wie mehrwertigen Logik und einer Theorie des Paradoxen lesen.

Murphs Leben als Normalo-Superheld ist aufregend - und voller Fragen: Bekommt er jetzt ein Heldenkostüm? Einen Gürtel mit coolen Waffen? Oder zumindest einen Butler, der Ratschläge erteilt, wenn ihm das Heldendasein mal über den Kopf wächst? Inzwischen kennen Murph und die Supernullen die Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Sie lauten - in beliebiger Reihenfolge - nein, nein und nein. Als sich tief unter dem Gefängnis für abtrünnige Superhelden etwas Unheilvolles zusammenbraut, müssen die Supernullen ihre mehr oder weniger brauchbaren Kräfte vereinen. Denn die Elster, der größte Schurke, den die Welt je gesehen hat, verlangt nur eines: „Bringt mir Kid Normal!"

Gibt es also doch etwas wie »Gesetze der Form«? Die Interpretation, die G. Spencer Brown seinem Kalkül der Form mit auf den Weg gibt, tut ihr Bestes, um diesen Eindruck zu erwecken. Freilich tut sie auch alles, um diesen Eindruck, kaum ist man bereit, ihm zu folgen, wieder zu dementieren. Beides zusammen macht Spencer Browns Formbegriff für eine Soziologie interessant, die aus der Vermutung, daß noch die Aufhebung der Gesetze Gesetzen folgt, eine Wissenschaft macht. Der Band versammelt Beiträge, die die Möglichkeiten des Formen- und Indikationskalküls zur Beobachtung der Dynamik von Bezeichnungen in Abhängigkeit von Unterscheidungen nutzen. Das reicht von frühen Entdeckungen des Formproblems im Roman und im Drama, in der Logik und in der Sprache über Rekonstruktionen des Zeichen-, Latenz- und Spielverständnisses bis zu Beschreibungen des Geldes, der Universität, des Staates, der sozialen Bewegungen, der Karriere und der Krankheit.
