Tracking Discourses is a useful collection for those new to CDA and DT approaches as it gives a detailed overview and examples throughout the study contributions. Additionally, for those already familiar with the theoretical approaches, this collection highlights the work being done in Scandinavia for the English-speaking world. True to its purpose, the book acts as a space for dialogue between CDA and DT and brings their use in the Swedish context to a wider audience. Discourse & Society The book offers a good chance to keep readers informed of how DT and CDA have been received and developed in Swedish academia Case studies in the volume are really inspiring the very first step is of great significance and I look forward to the furtherance of the dialogue in the near future. Discourse Studies, University of Wellington Discourse Theory (DT) and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) are theoretical traditions that have gained intense research interest in recent decades. Both are concerned with critical studies of politics, identity, and social change with a focus on issues of power and language, yet the dialogue between DT and CDA scholars has been negligible until only recently. In Tracking Discourses Politics, Identity and Social Change, twelve researchers explore the opportunities presented by an increased exchange of ideas between the two traditions. The authors examine what closer collaboration could offer, both theoretically and empirically, in an interdisciplinary context. The Scandinavian reception, development, and use of DT and CDA are presented for the first time in a concise way. The studies in Tracking Discourses are of pivotal interest to the practical application of theoretical concepts and the empirical analysis of specific discourses based on one or both of the analytical perspectives. The case studies presented are valuable sources for comparison with similar research undertaken in other countries and contexts.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -NAMED A WATERSTONES BEST POLITICS BOOK OF 2023 'Passionate, clever, and often very funny' Marina Hyde 'A wonderful meditation on populism, nationalism, politics and truth' Rory Stewart ***Chosen as a 2023 Non-Fiction highlight in the Guardian, New Statesman and Irish Times*** We live in an age of fury and confusion. A new crisis erupts before the last one has finished: financial crisis, Brexit, pandemic, war in Ukraine, inflation, strikes. Prime Ministers come and go but politics stays divided and toxic. It is tempting to switch off the news, tune out and hope things will get back to normal. Except, this is the new normal, and our democracy can only work if enough people stay engaged without getting enraged. But how? To answer that question, award-winning journalist Rafael Behr takes the reader on a personal journey from despair at the state of politics to hope that there is a better way of doing things, with insights drawn from three decades as a political commentator and foreign correspondent.

Politics

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Mats Benners bok The Politics of Growth är en insiktsfull granskning av de ekonomiska tillväxtstrategier som gällt i svensk politik sedan introduktionen av den svenska modellen på 1930-talet och fram till inträdet i EU. Benner analyserar den ekonomiska tillväxtpolitik som möjliggjort och kompletterat både socialpolitiska strävanden i fördelningsfrågor och utvecklingen av en väl fungerande och relativt konfliktfri arbetsmarknad. Författaren belyser vilka aktörer som utformat olika tillväxtstrategier och förklarar varför vissa strategier genomförts medan andra blockerats. Ett centralt tema i boken är att ekonomisk utveckling är sammanbunden med institutionell reglering. En avgörande faktor för förståelsen av modern svensk historia är därför hur sociala krafter försökt påverka institutionerna, deras utformning och effekter.

Politics

Kan en silkeshandske vara en symbol för makt? I denna tänkvärda volym samlas en grupp namnkunniga historiker för att ge perspektiv på överlappande frågor kring genus, materialitet och politik. Genom historiska fallstudier som sträcker sig från 1500-talet och fram i modern tid utforskar författarna brännpunkter i företeelser som diplomati, kvinnors inflytande och intrycket av somliga föremål som särskilt värdefulla. Boken är tillägnad historikern Svante Norrhem som under många år arbetat med liknande aspekter och material i sin forskning. Genom empiriska djupdykningar och metodologiskt nydanande studier har han gjort avsevärda insatser för historievetenskapen och förmedlingen av den till en bredare publik. I hans böcker, liksom i denna bok, lyfts det synbart obetydliga fram ur historiens gömda vrår för att kunna skärskådas i ett nytt ljus och återfå sin relevans.---Can a silk glove be an expression of power? In this carefully curated volume, internationally renowned historians have come together to explore the interconnected perspectives of gender, materiality, and politics. As the authors elaborate on these topics, the volume offers contributions covering a period from the sixteenth century to the present day, investigating political culture and diplomacy, women’s work and assets, sexuality and queer per­spectives, and the role of materiality and objects. The volume is dedicated to the historian Svante Norrhem, who has published extensively on these topics and contributed invaluable empirical findings and methodological advances throughout his career. In his work, as in this volume, the detail of power is teased out through ground-breaking ideas and innovative research.

Around him, individual politicians laid the foundations for the political and economic chaos of today. Stewart emerged battered but with a profound affection for his constituency of Penrith and the Border, and a deep direct insight into the era of populism and global conflict.Uncompromising, candid and darkly humorous, Politics On the Edge is his story of the challenges, absurdities and realities of political life and a remarkable portrait of our age.**A FINANCIAL TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, TIMES, NEW STATESMAN, CHURCH TIMES AND SCOTSMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023**

Politics in Islam

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Wake Jeo Gerbi, an Oromo theologian and intellectual, exposes the crimes that the Abyssinian rulers and their supporters have been committing on the Oromo nation and other colonized nations. He brilliantly proposes strategies for Christian Oromos to join with their Waqqeffannaa and Muslim brothers and sisters to struggle and break the yoke of Ethiopian colonialism and to enjoy religious and political freedom in Oromia. Following the footsteps of Reverend Gudina Tumsa of Oromia, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King of Black America and Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, Gerbi forcefully argues that, like other colonized peoples, the Oromo of all religious backgrounds should develop Oromummaa in order to unite against their tormentors to fulfill their religious missions of liberation and social justice.
