Vulnerability in Scandinavian Art and Culture
In this open access book, seventeen scholars discuss how contemporary Scandinavian art and media have become important arenas to articulate and stage various forms of vulnerability in the Scandinavian welfare states. How do discourses of privilege and vulnerability coexist and interact in Scandinavia? How do the Scandinavian countries respond to vulnerability given increased migration? How is vulnerability distributed in terms of margin and centre, normality and deviance? And how can vulnerability be used to move audiences towards each other and accomplish change? We address these questions in an interdisciplinary study that brings examples from celebrated and provocative fiction and documentary films, TV-series, reality TV, art installations, design, literature, graphic art, radio podcasts and campaigns on social media.In this open access book, seventeen scholars discuss how contemporary Scandinavian art and media have become important arenas to articulate and stage various forms of vulnerability in the Scandinavian welfare states.

University of South-Eastern Norway Bakkenteigen/Borre, Norway. Adriana Margareta Dancus is Associate Professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway. Dancus researches at the crossroads of gender and ethnicity studies, with a focus on contemporary Scandinavian film and literature. Her most recent book, Exposing Vulnerability: Self-Mediation in Scandinavian Films by Women (Intellect Books/University of Chicago Press, 2019), is a cultural and socio-political analysis of contemporary films by Scandinavian women as they use their own experiences with glob- ally relevant issues such as race, gender, mental illness, bullying and the trauma of migration.
