So to the CB vision, I wish to say: Happy birthday and many happy returns in good health, love, respect and wider outreach. Your aim of bringing people from all walks of life, from all cultures, profes- sions and generations to learn to live together on equal terms has never been more urgent than today. This is especially true when we consider the paradox the world finds itself in: humanity has never had so much access to instant information about ourselves, society, the world around us and especially about the fact that we have only one planet to live on and prosper, yet more and more individuals are suffering from confusion and insecurity about who they are, why they are here and how to connect with our families, society and planet on which we are all dependent and a part of.

  • Part Two – Tony in Denmark
    PART TWO – TONY IN DENMARK It took me less than two months after my return to Denmark to make my slideshow which became an instant nationwide success. It was promoted by the intellectual newspaper Information which planned a photo book already sold to 7 countries in the Frankfurt Book Fair in September 1976. After that I sat with designer Kitte Fennestad for months working on the layout while listening mainly to our favorite records by Jimmy Cliff. Before the book was published in April 1977 I wrote a long letter to all my friends in America about all my sudden success. Less than a week later I received a letter from Tony, who said he was crying when he heard about it. He never imagined anything would come out of my leftist hippie philosophy in my days as a vagabond (I have to find original letter to get his exact words). Next day he called me up and said: “Jacob, I am coming over to see you.” He wanted to share this moment of joy and success which he had in so many ways helped create. “Yes, come on over,” I said glad and proud that one of my friends would come all this way. I never forget when I picked Tony up in the airport a couple of days before his 28 year birthday Mar. 27 1977. He came in a screaming green business suit in the belief that people in Denmark dressed so smart. I had never seen him dress like this before and after he saw how casually we actually dressed I never saw him in “the Superfly clown suit” again.

  • On Lars Von Trier, Enfant Terrible of Danish Art Film
    On Lars von Trier, Enfant Terrible of Danish Art Film By Mette Hjort Fall 2011 Issue of KINEMA THE PROBLEM WITH PROVOCATION: ON LARS VON TRIER, ENFANT TERRIBLE OF DANISH ART FILM Anyone interested in contemporary art is likely to have spent a good deal of time pondering the nature and role of artistic provocation. Provocation as a crucial feature of artistic practice was largely unknown before 1800 (Walker 1999: 1). The idea of ’shocking the recipient’ was, however, ’a dominant principle of artistic intent’ for members of the various avant-garde movements that emerged in the early decades of the 20th century (Peter Bürger, cited in Walker: 2), and at this point the provocateur is a well-known and even expected figure in the landscape of art. It is not difficult to think of examples of artworks thatare self-evidently about creating a sense of outrage. Let me mention just a few well-known works that prompted a public outcry: Rick Gibson’s Human Earrings (1985), which consists of a mannequin’s head from which dangle earrings made with twelve-week-old freeze dried foetuses (Walker: 150); Piss Christ (1989) by the Honduran and Afro-Cuban American artist Andres Serrano whose red-tinged photograph depicts a crucifix submerged in (the artist’s) urine; Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorectic (1991) by Canadian Jana Sterbak was exhibited, among other places, at the National Gallery in Ottawa in 1991. Made with 50 pounds of raw beef, the dress was displayed on a hanger alongside a photograph of a woman wearing it.

In 2015 CARE International supported more than 65 million people in 95 countries. CARE Danmark focuses on long-term projects in nine countries. We support poor families and help them to provide food and to work their way out of poverty. The poor farmers in developing countries are often the most vulnerable to cli- mate change. It has become even more difficult for farmers to provide enough food for themselves and their families. Together with local organisations, CARE Danmark support vulnerable farmers in developing countries. The goal is to empower poor farmers through education and knowledge sharing on how to deal with the challenges they meet. CARE Danmark focuses on helping people to help themselves, be- cause it saves lives, money and reduces suffering.

They all had longish names that wreak havoc on a dissertation with a 100,000 word limit. Luckily, the Soviet organizations excelled in the use of abbreviations. For pragmatic reasons I have expanded this use of abbreviations to include both international and Danish organizations and a full list of the many abbreviations utilized in the dissertation is found in appendix 1.Also due to the word limit the footnotes are full of abbreviations.
