Halldór Laxness was twentyfive years old when he arrived in Los Angeles, California, in the Fall of 1927. The movies, and they were the reason he came, were not much older. While it might seem facile to speak of the congruence of youthful energies, Laxness’s arrival in L.A. in the late 1920s was not a coincidence. From shortly after its inception, the world film market had been characterized by international competition for global motion picture prominence, a struggle that had been proceeding along a variety of avenues for close to 2 decades but was, by the time of Laxness’s arrival, pretty much settled in Hollywood’s favor (Thompson 1985, 124–48). For those who sought a career in the movies, there were few places that could equal the luster and promise of Hollywood.2

The United States is among the developed world’s most incomeunequal countries, American health care and education are uniquely expensive, and youth depression is on a sharp rise1 (Twenge et al. 2019). The Nordic countries are among the most income-equal, health care and higher education are generally free, and Scandinavians rank among the happiest people in the world (Oxfeldt, Nestingen, and Simonsen 2017). These differences could explain why 50 percent of young Americans would “prefer living in a socialist country” (Harris Poll 2019). The Nordic Model is not socialist by the term’s original definition of “state or collective ownership and regulation of the means of production.” In America, socialism has generally become understood as “liberal social democracy which retain[s] a commitment to social justice and social reform.” The Oxford English Dictionary has adjusted its definition accordingly.2 Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez both denounce Soviet or Cuban-style socialism, emphasizing their preference for Scandinavian welfare (CBS News 2019; Washington Post 2015). With liberal economics under global challenge, the United States is only one of many places where the Nordic Model has been suggested as an alternative that could reform capitalism.

美国是发达国家中收入最不平等的国家之一，美国的医疗保健和教育非常昂贵，青少年抑郁症急剧上升1 (Twenge et al. 2019)。北欧国家是收入最平等的国家之一，医疗保健和高等教育通常是免费的，斯堪的纳维亚人是世界上最幸福的人之一(Oxfeldt, Nestingen, and Simonsen 2017)。这些差异可以解释为什么50%的美国年轻人“更喜欢生活在社会主义国家”(哈里斯民意调查2019)。按照“国家或集体所有制和对生产资料的监管”这一术语最初的定义，北欧模式并不是社会主义。在美国，社会主义通常被理解为“自由的社会民主主义，保留了对社会正义和社会改革的承诺。”牛津英语词典据此调整了其定义伯尼·桑德斯和亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯都谴责苏联或古巴式的社会主义，强调他们更喜欢斯堪的纳维亚式的福利(CBS新闻2019;《华盛顿邮报》(2015)。在自由主义经济学面临全球挑战的情况下，北欧模式被认为是改革资本主义的另一种选择，美国只是其中之一。如果这些北欧国家生产

This article considers the sexual, gendered, and age-based ramifications of a recurrent motif in medieval Icelandic saga literature that I call the “troll-girl revelation.”1 Despite its popularity, appearing formulaically in four sagas attested from the late medieval and early modern periods, as well as more obliquely elsewhere, this trope has received remarkably little scholarly attention. In this story pattern, the male protagonist encounters a group of hostile troll-women, who display varying—including extreme—degrees of sexual boldness. Saga heroes are not infrequently confronted by such libidinous, supernatural females and, as a default response, the protagonist summarily dispatches these foes. As is also common in such altercations, the protagonist participates to varying extents in the troll-women’s eroticization, including via his symbolically sexual use and abuse of these figures as he conquers them. The sexual aggression of these women is thus

The contribution of Denmark to world cinema has been substantial: not just relative to the size of the population, but by any measure. In the silent period, the pioneering work of the company Nordisk Films Kompagni, and the emergence of early film stars such as Asta Nielsen, secured Denmark a place as a leading film nation. The auteur Carl Theodor Dreyer won global renown during his five-decade career. Documentary and educational filmmaking flourished after the Second World War; the late 1980s brought successive Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film; and Dogme 95 aimed to reinvigorate cinema by stripping filmmaking back to basics. The notoriety of arthouse auteur Lars von Trier has been complemented by the emergence of a generation of Danish filmmakers whose work is characterised by compelling stories, high production values and a strong sense of realism. This book covers all these aspects of Danish cinema history, and also encompasses a range of genres, figures and institutions that have received little coverage in English to date, such as children’s films, popular comedies, immigrant filmmakers, women documentarists, and Greenlandic cinema. The contributors situate filmmakers, genres and trends in their cultural and historical context, taking account of the influence of national film institutions and policies. The volume is organised into four parts: i) From the first ‘Golden Age’ to the Occupation; ii) National Genres; iii) Auteurs and Institutions of the New Golden Age; and iv) Decentring and Diversifying Danish Cinema.
