THE ANTHOLOGY RE-NEGOTIATIONS:The role of public art after the turn of the millennium is a result of a research project commissioned by the Public Art Agency Sweden by theArt History department at Södertörn University. The book departs from the complex situation that governs public art, permanent and temporary,whether commissioned and sanctioned by private or public funds or through on individual initiative. Art is discussed here as ongoing projectsor discrete works of art, its function as value-creating, security-creating, commemorative as well as being part of short participation processes and/or acting over a long period of time.

Since the 2010s, it has become common to view the European project as troubled by crisis. As the EU historical narrative is selective, the problems that we perceive today in the EU seem to be exceptional and unusually dangerous, not the least from the perspective of Europe's peripheries. In order to assess the current challenges and future prospects of the European project, we need to understand better the complexities of European integration in Southern and Northern Europe in the recent past.By bringing together three relevant political actors, deeply involved in these historical events - Esko Aho (Finland), Mats Hellström (Sweden) and Juan Antonio Yáñez-Barnuevo (Spain) - this witness seminar provides important insights into the negotiations concerning EC/EU integration as well as the similarities and differences between the Northern and Southern European experiences.

What is the relationship between feminism and philosophy today? Although feminist philosophy is now a recognized field in the institution of philosophy, a tension between the terms feminism and philosophy persists. From the perspective of philosophy, feminist philosophy may seem too committed to political change. From the perspective of feminism, the practice of philosophy may seem too far removed from the pressing concerns of injustice in ordinary life. This volume is an interdisciplinary initiative at the intersection of philosophy, the history of ideas, and feminist theory, where philosophy is scrutinized from a feminist perspective and asks questions about what philosophy has to offer feminism.

From the intersection of queer studies, area studies and critical kinship studies, this groundbreaking collection explores queer (non-hetero-sexual) family practices and kinship formations from converging perspectives and in a range of geopolitical settings around the Baltic Sea region and beyond. Empirically grounded and in critical dialogue with international scholarship, the volume simultaneously places (queer) kinship and reproduction at the centre of area studies and contributes to the de-centring of Western, Anglo-American theoretical and empirical dominance within feminist and queer kinship studies. Using examples from Denmark, Finland, Greece, Norway, Poland and Sweden, this book highlights the importance of geopolitics in the understandings of queer kinship. Contributors explore the centrality of sexuality in assisted reproduction, family-making and other forms of queer/ing kinship and intimacy by focusing on equality, the role of the state, of technologies in making and breaking kinship, and further the theoretical discussion on matters of mourning, inter-generationality, embodiment, labour and citizenship. Contributors: Pako Chalkidou, Ulrika Dahl, Suraiya Jetha, Jenny Gun-narsson Payne, Anna Malmqvist, Anna Moring, Michael Neberling Peterson, Joanna Mizieli¿ska and Antu Sorainen.
