Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper gives a quantitative overview of the publication of Caribbean and Sub-Saharan African Literature in Swedish translation during the twentieth century. The study is above all based on information taken from Swedish websites, for example Alex Dictionary of Authors and Macondo. The data collection registered 204 items written by 92 Caribbean authors from 20 countries and 719 items authored by 293 African writers from 34 countries. Most authors were published in anthologies and their works were almost exclusively translated from a former colonial language (English, Spanish, French and Portuguese). Translations of titles were generally faithful. Changes from the original could often be explained as due to differences in grammar or culture, or as a means to indicate or leave out the genre (autobiography, love story etc.), or to emphasize or tone down the geographical origin of the book.

En vildmark av sten : Stockholm i litteraturen 1897–1916
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study explores the urban fiction emerging in Stockholm around the turn of the 20th century. It modifies earlier research by arguing that the fascination with the city transcends traditional conventions of genre. The main theory is that Stockholm’s conversion into a metropolitan space compels a new form of literary expression, a sort of urban aesthetics. The thesis claims that the urban prose of Stockholm is co-creative: the authors articulate a myth of Stockholm, an image of the Swedish capital as a modern urban space. Based on Henri Lefebvre’s ideas about space as something that is created, it is argued that the authors are founders of a city identity that influences people’s understanding of themselves and their new environment. The thesis maintains that the authors’ cities of words, their representational spaces, stem as much from personal fantasies and real-life experiences as from other works of art and literature. The dissertation contributes to our knowledge of urban literature by placing it against a back- ground of urban theory. Hence, it paves the way for further research on the city as a complex of symbols within Swedish literature, a subject that has not been examined to any notable extent. The analysis of how the urban environment has been conveyed and who has been given the priv- ilege of interpretation also deepens our understanding of contemporary Stockholm, real or imaginary. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part examines the background and genesis of the fiction type. Part two consists of analytical readings. The following authors are given particular attention: Henning Berger, Martin Koch, Maria Sandel and Sigfrid Siwertz. In four chapters, their respective repre- sentations of Stockholm are explored. Theories of urban space, modernity and gender, as well as Franco Moretti’s idea of a literary geography, guide the readings.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article demonstrates how an ecocritical spatial study of narrative space can be carried out using concepts from eco-narratology and geocriticism, as well as by applying metaphor analysis and by conducting field studies. Two walking narratives serve as examples in this article: Cheryl Strayed's Wild and Hade Kerkeling's Ich bin dann mal weg: Meine Reise auf den Jacobsweg.

Skuggspel. Mellan bildkritik och ikonestetik i Lars Gyllenstens författarskap : A play of shadows. Image Critique and Icon Aesthetics in the works of Lars Gyllensten
- 2005
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation addresses, on the one hand, Lars Gyllenstens fundamentally critical relationship to imagery and image interpretation. Throughout his literary career, in his fiction as well as in his polemic criticism in the press, Gyllensten has performed the role of iconoclast. On the other hand, his writing has continually involved the investigation and creation of images, often with the help of the visual arts. What is the relationship between Gyllensten the iconoclast and Gyllensten the creator of images - between image criticism and aesthetics? Contrary to earlier research, this thesis maintains that Gyllensten did not abandon his critique of imagery in the mid 1960's but rather continued beyond that period to act as image critic as well as image defender. The conclusion becomes apparent if the author's entire oeuvre - fiction, essays and critical articles - is considered. The dissertation is ordered into three sections: Part One demonstrates how certain central metaphors can be understood to function as critical tools, rhetorical devices and meta-images, i.e. images reflecting the process of image-creation or representing the act of representation. From Gyllenstens early work, the text, the staged event and the metaphorical function of Camera obscura are analyzed. Thereafter, the central metaphors 'Flesh' and 'Dance' in Carnivora (1953) are examined. The texts involved in this collection of fragments are seen as unified language games which, via metatextual strategies, offer interpretative instructions on various levels to the reader. The manner in which the text engages the visual arts is also explored in relation to Carnivora and to critical essays from early on in Gyllensten's writings. Part Two investigates the author's polemic cultural criticism in articles written for the press. Here it is shown that, even in this context, Gyllensten uses metaphorical language games. Particular emphasis is placed on his uses of the key iconoclastic concepts iconoclasy (ikonoklasi), idol and idolatry. In so doing, the contemporary critical context relating to the positively-charged concept of icon is exposed. Part Three proposes to show how In the shadow of Don Juan (I skuggan av Don Juan, 1975) involves a meta-critique, i.e. a criticism directed at fruitless iconoclasm, which upheld the author's image criticism while displaying an attitude of image creation. The function of the concept of icon as another meta-image in the following novel, Return of the shadow (Skuggans återkomst, 1985), is then examined. Through the analysis of that novel's excessive use of meta-textual strategies, the aesthetics is shown to guide the reader's reception in the same way as was done in Carnivora. To that end, the investigation involves the analysis of a number of ekphrases whose function in the novel is to guide interpretation as well as to free it from mono-dimensionality. The novel's narrative structures are then compared to the orthodox church and its holy icons. Thus it is shown how the author allows conditions from the metaphor's (the icon's) original context to structure the way in which Return of the shadow can be opened for a myriad of interpretative paths. The result is a demonstration of a multi-dimensional aesthetic offering the possibility of creative involvement in producing the work of art.
