Author: Kerry Greaves, Birgitte Thorsen Vilslev (ed.)This is the first major publication in any language to re-evaluate the problematics that enmesh feminism, gender, and contemporary Nordic art. The book probes the shifting nature of the "Nordic" to challenge its popular image as liberal when it comes to genders, sexualities, and ethnicities. It questions the so-called wave model to suggest instead a history of sporadic (re)surfacings and submersions of feminism’s impact on Nordic art over the last sixty years. The intersectional, transhistorical, and transcultural focus nuances the Nordic and demystifies common tropes while reflecting the principal concerns of feminist art scholars working today: the welfare model; gender, sexuality, and the body; transculturality and decolonialisation, and posthuman feminism and glitches.ISBN 9783111332161.
