Images and communities
The visual construction of the social
The authors of this interdisciplinary collection of essays explore the visual dimension of the social. They write about imagocentric communication based on the suggestion that the social may have a fundamentally different appearance from what is accustomed to be understood as a result of logocentric and language-based human activity in the western cultures. In other words, the researchers has taken seriously and apply the Lyotardian attitude towards social life in which the fracture and refraction of vision are understood as basic elements in constituting social bonding and the sense of community in contemporary culture.

Comparative approaches to European and Nordic modernisms
Modernism is a truly international movement that cuts across many boundaries – territorial, political, cultural, and linguistic. Its geographical and temporal scope make it one of the most prominent fields of literary study. The essays in this book compare Modernist features of the Nordic literatures with the modernizing works and movements of the rest of twentieth-century Europe.
