"Frontiers of Screen History" provides an insightful exploration
into the depiction and imagination of European borders in cinema
after World War II. While films have explored national and
political borders, they have also attempted to identify, challenge,
and imagine frontiers of another kind: social, ethnic, religious,
and gendered. The book investigates all these perspectives. Its
unique focus on the representation of European borders and
frontiers via film is groundbreaking, opening up a new field of
research and scholarly discussion. The exceptional variety of
national and cultural perspectives provides a rewarding
investigation of borders and frontiers.
This edited collection is an interdisciplinary and dialogical
endeavor focused on the field of Nordic Girlhood Studies. It
investigates young femininity as well as the key themes and
concepts of Girlhood Studies, including girl power, feminisms,
femininity, gender equality, postfeminism and sexualities in the
specific cultural, historical and political context of the Nordic
region. The chapters of the book consist of thematic case studies,
including memories of girl power in the Finnish context, gendered
harassment experienced and explained by Finnish girls, troublesome
girlhood within the Swedish context and girls' subjectification
projects in Nordic welfare state. Further, the case studies are
accompanied by dialogical Outlook-essays, where researchers either
outside Nordic region or from adjacent research fields reflect on
Nordic Girlhood Studies through comparisons and reflections form
their vantage point. The book will be of scholarly interest to
researchers and students working especially on the fields of
Girlhood Studies, Youth Studies, Gender Studies, Sociology and
Cultural Studies both within the Nordic region and outside.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. The
#MeToo movement sparked many debates and increased the demand for
more problematized perspectives on the issue of sexual harassment.
This book opens for new understandings of sexual harassment by
bringing researchers, writers, and policymakers in the Nordic
region into dialogue in an ambitious volume. It asks what role
juridical frameworks can and should play in prevention and raises
questions about how the image of Nordic states - as gender equal,
colour blind and with strong welfare - affects the work against
sexual harassment in the region. Re-imagining definitions of
justice, violence, exploitation and work, this book offers
knowledge of immediate importance for everyone working to prevent
sexual harassment, through research, policy making, or in everyday
practice.
