Academic Presence in Scandinavian Countries and the Nordic States

June 28, 2007 (Thursday)

One more victory in academia... I have been informed by my Swedish colleagues that my empirical study has been published by the Nordicom in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is also available electronically on major scientific databases on the Internet. The title of my research is as follows.

The Impact of the Brazilian Soap Opera, "O Clone", on the Attitudes and Behavior of its Fans in Kyrgyzstan. A Qualitative Analysis. Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, 2005.

Brief annotation of the study (http://www.nordicom.gu.se):
For the last fifteen years, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyz citizens have witnessed how people get deeply involved in soap operas. For some people soap operas became part of their daily lives or some kind of addiction without which they cannot survive. Hereby Brazilian, Mexican, Argentinean, Colombian and Moroccan cultures are having a great impact on shaping the post-Soviet Kyrgyzstani culture.

As far as I know, the study is presented in two publications and is available for purchase online and in book shops across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. I shall be getting my copies soon. My recent study Complex Aircraft Manufacturing Industry and Media Practice London, 2007, is also going to be published, hopefully, this September.

Book covers are taken from http://www.nordicom.gu.se.

My publications list is getting longer every year, including the academic one. If you ever come across any of my studies mentioned above, let me know what you think of them.

Some might ask why do I differentiate Scandinavian countries from the Nordic states. Well, Scandinavia consists of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, while Nordic states are Finland and Iceland.

Parts of the study are available in Afrikaans, Chinese, Danish, French, German, Greek, Korean, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Turkmen and Ukrainian under the following titles. Translations are available online and at the local libraries.
