FROM DISNEY’S FROZEN ICE SKATING ANNA & ELSA, $59.99 EACH AND TICKLE TIME OLAF, $39 Frozen was the smash-hit Disney film of 2013 – becoming the highest grossing animated film of all time! The film tells the story of fearless princess Anna, who sets off on an epic journey alongside rugged iceman Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven to find her estranged sister (Elsa), whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom. Unsurprisingly Frozen toys are set to be a big seller this Christmas. First up, ice-skating Queen Elsa and Princess Anna, $59.99 each. With just a simple push, Ice Skating Anna and Ice Skating Elsa glide gracefully back and forth, arms and leg moving in elegant ice-skating form, so kids everywhere can recreate the movie moment when Elsa skates to celebrate the end of winter, or they can make up icy cool adventures of their own. Queen Elsa wears a dress similar to what she wears in the movie with her tiara and braid in her hair. Anna is also in a traditional outfit. Both are easy to operate by gliding around with the wheel under their shoes. Next, Tickle Time Olaf, $39. Standing 44cm tall, Olaf giggles when you tickle him, and also wiggles, spins and talks!

  • Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Essay Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess Madeline Streiff 1 and Lauren Dundes 2,* 1 Hastings College of the Law, University of California, 200 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Sociology, McDaniel College, 2 College Hill, Westminster, MD 21157, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-410-857-2534 Academic Editors: Michele Adams and Martin J. Bull Received: 10 September 2016; Accepted: 24 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Disney’s animated feature Frozen (2013) received acclaim for presenting a powerful heroine, Elsa, who is independent of men. Elsa’s avoidance of male suitors, however, could be a result of her protective father’s admonition not to “let them in” in order for her to be a “good girl.” In addition, Elsa’s power threatens emasculation of any potential suitor suggesting that power and romance are mutually exclusive. While some might consider a princess’s focus on power to be refreshing, it is significant that the audience does not see a woman attaining a balance between exercising authority and a relationship. Instead, power is a substitute for romance. Furthermore, despite Elsa’s seemingly triumphant liberation celebrated in Let It Go, selfless love rather than independence is the key to others’ approval of her as queen. Regardless of the need for novel female characters, Elsa is just a variation on the archetypal power-hungry female villain whose lust for power replaces lust for any person, and who threatens the patriarchal status quo. The only twist is that she finds redemption through gender-stereotypical compassion.

  • Welfare Nostalgia and the Populist Radical Right in the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden
    Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy (2021), 37: 2, 128–141 doi:10.1017/ics.2020.30 ARTICLE Those were the days: welfare nostalgia and the populist radical right in the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden Sven Schreurs Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Email: [email protected] (Received 13 July 2020; revised 6 October 2020; accepted 7 October 2020) Abstract In academia and beyond, it has become commonplace to regard populist parties – in particular, those on the radical right – as the archetypical embodiment of politics of nostalgia. Demand-side studies suggest that nostalgic sentiments motivate populist radical-right (PRR) voting and welfare chauvinist attitudes, yet systematic analyses of the nostalgic discourse that these parties promote have not been forthcoming. This paper seeks to fill that lacuna by analysing how the Freedom Party of Austria, the Dutch Party for Freedom and the Sweden Democrats framed the historical fate of the welfare state in their electoral discourse between 2008 and 2018. It demonstrates that their commitment to welfare chauvinism finds expression in a common repertoire of “welfare nostalgia,” manifested in the different modes of “reaction,”“conservation” and “modernisation.” Giving substance to a widespread intuition about PRR nostalgia, the paper breaks ground for further research into nostalgic ideas about social policy. Keywords: nostalgia; radical right; populism; welfare state; collective memory; welfare chauvinism Introduction Populist political parties and movements are often seen to embody a contemporary politics of nostalgia (Campanella & Dassù, 2019; Kenny, 2017). Those on the radical right, in particular, are perceived as profligate consumers and fervent producers of a nostalgic language that expresses a lost sense of “place” and a longing for “home” (Duyvendak, 2011).

  • Who Benefits from the Southern Gas Corridor?
    RISKY BUSINESS — WHO BENEFITS FROM THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? A Bankwatch Report RISKY BUSINESS — WHO BENEFITS FROM THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? AUTHORS Lorenzo Bagnoli Claudia Ciobanu Apostolis Fotiadis G. T. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Pippa Gallop Elena Gerebizza Sven Haertig David Hoffman Ido Liven Anna Roggenbuck Regine Richter Xavier Sol EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 8 I WHAT IS THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? 16 II GREECE AND TAP 30 III ITALY AND TAP 48 IV TURKEY AND TANAP 66 CONCLUSIONS 78 REFERENCES 82 THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR ● trans adriatic pipeline [tap] ● ● trans anatolian pipeline [tanap] ● ● south caucasus pipeline extension [scpx] ● an interactive presentation of this report is available at: www.bankwatch.org/risky-business EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Southern Gas Corridor, a 3,500 kilometre system of pipelines meant to bring gas from Azerbaijan into Europe, is the new pet project of the European Union in the energy sector. It is presented as a panacea for all ills: reducing Europe’s reliance on Russian gas, contributing to the move away from coal, and bringing energy and business to the poorer southeastern Europe. It is set to benefit from some of the biggest loans in the history of European public banks. Critics1 of the pipeline argue that forecasts of gas demand in Europe do not justify this pipeline. Relying on authoritarian Azerbaijan (and Turkey) to secure Europe’s energy needs is not much change from depending on Russia but rather a way to strengthen more tyrants. Massive pipeline projects promoted by the EU in the past, such as Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan, have come with human rights abuses and the militarisation of the route of the pipelines, and that should serve as a warning.
