- Insuring its citizens against the misfortunes that may threaten their livelihood is the defining feature of the welfare state. The first social insurance schemes that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were instituted to protect people in cases of work accidents, sickness, unemployment, widowhood and old age (if it occurred). By instituting such schemes, the state acknowledged that individuals were exposed to social risks conditioned by societal structures that were beyond their control (Rothstein 1994).

L'Autorité dissimulée - l'autorité manifeste : L'écriture de la violence chez Yasmina Khadra
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study examines the representation of violence in two novels by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra (1955 - ): Les Agneaux du Seigneur (1998) and À quoi rêvent les loups (1999). The narrative techniques employed in these texts and, more directly, the assertions made by the author in interviews and autobiographical works give the impression of a writer aiming to impose on the reader a specific view of the Algerian civil war (1992-1998) while at the same time asserting that the novels are objective representations of the same historical period. This authoritative position, it is argued, is surprising in the light of two discourses. According to the first, events of extreme violence are fundamentally inexpressible and therefore any work of art dealing with such events must find a way to express this inexpressibility. Secondly, many historians, journalists and writers argue that the civil war in Algeria was particularly ungraspable, and eludes being rendered affirmatively in any work, fictional or not. The study aims to explain how Yasmina Khadra construes his authority in the fictional texts and via his performance in the media. The concepts of a dissimulated authority and a manifest authority are conceived in order to elucidate the ambiguous discourse created by Khadra in which we find both a need to convince the reader of the legitimacy of his rendering of the violent events and a tendency to explicitly take control of and guide our interpretation of the novels. The final chapter of the dissertation argues that Khadra’s prolific use of animal vocabulary at once dissimulates and makes manifest the idea of an author wanting to impose certain ideas and ‘truths’ on the reader. In the conclusion it is suggested that the violence of the novels extends beyond the subject matter into Khadra's very approach to writing: that the two novels do not so much reflect the idea of the violence as a creator of chaos, but rather, in browbeating the reader into a passive role, end up imitating the very forcefulness and single-mindedness of violence itself. The methodological approach of the study consists of a close reading as well as a thorough contextualization of the novels. The classical narratological concepts established by Gérard Genette are used to examine the dominant narrative modes of the stories. In explaining the ways in which Khadra proceeds to persuade the reader of the truth-value of the texts the theory on realistic discourse developed by Philippe Hamon constitutes an important reference.

The Rise of American Ecoliterature
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article sketches a brief overview of the American nature-writing tradition, with reference to Thomas Lyon’s useful taxonomy of nature writing, offering an updated contextualization of this tradition that takes into account the emergence of modern environmentalism in American culture. Ecoliterature can be understood to encompass not only ideologically driven works of literary environmentalism, but also strains of recent nature writing that in one way or another serve to foreground the non-human environing world and may even explore conceptualizations of nature and culture (especially the nature-culture interface) anywhere along a moderate-to-radical continuum of engagement in environmental ethics or applied principles of ecology. The rise of ecoliterature in late 20th century American letters is also discussed in relation to an emergent tradition of environmental literary criticism, or ecocriticism, as it has come to be more widely known. The article briefly surveys some of the contested territories brought to the fore by these cultural and literary developments, while also sampling some salient features of these kindred discourses by offering an illustrative ecocritical reading of model ecoliterary texts.
