DESCRIPTION:Nordic Humanities Center\, Neoliberalism in the Nordics\, and 
 Norden since the End of History invite researchers and students at UCPH H
 umanities and other interested parties to join our reading group on the 1
 990s.\n\nThe 1990s has often been portrayed as the “good” decade\, that i
 s\, as a decade marked by prosperity and peace\, alongside the emergence 
 of the Internet\, and the distinctive trends in fashion\, movies\, and mu
 sic that defined the era. However\, recent research has told very differe
 nt narratives about the decade.  Among other things\, they describe the 1
 990s as the beginnings of a new and more turbulent period of rising anger
  and domestic turmoil that anticipated the polarization and resurgent ext
 remism we know today.\n\nAgainst this background\, this reading group wil
 l attempt to historicize the 1990s by discussing the following questions:
   What was the 1990s? How are the 1990s related to today? How can and sho
 uld we study the 1990s in terms of themes\, questions\, and approaches? A
 nd how are the (largely) American perspectives that dominates current res
 earch on the 1990s relatable and applicable to a European/Nordic context?
 \n\nFollowing a short introduction by Professor Johan Strang (University 
 of Helsinki)\, we will debate the following texts:\n\n[b]John Ganz[/b]\, 
 “The Year the Clock Broke\,” The Baffler\, nr. 42 (2018) [url]https://the
 baffler.com/salvos/the-year-the-clock-broke-ganz[/url]\n \n[b]Gavin Jacob
