- The article treats the place of the body in thecultural criticism of Viktor Rydberg, not only as a central theme but also as an image with the potential to figuratively describe societal and even cosmic relationships. Rydberg’s idealof the symmetrical and athletic body is seen inthe perspective of his dependence on German neo-humanism and the gymnastic movement.The ideal of bodily symmetry figures as an image of universal man who defies the division of labor, while the deformed body inversely figures as an image of the lack of wholeness in a stratified bourgeois society. This is further elucidated by an analysis of Rydberg’s view of Darwinism and his fear of degeneration .In the final section, special attention is given to Rydberg’s broodings on the “Future of theWhite Race”. In this text, the body is a figure of the collectivity (the body politic) and its diseases signify political and moral crisis, while the remedy for this state of affairs lies in recognizing the unity of the living, the deadand the unborn in the body of Christ.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Uncanny and Abject: Magical Thinking in the Works of Selma Lagerlöf and Carina RydbergThis article utilises Freud's notion of "the uncanny" and Kristevas concepts of "abject" and "abjection" in their original meanings as tools in the analysis of certain aspects of Carina Rydberg's The Devils's formula (2000) and Selma Lagerlöf's Charlotte Löwensköld (1925) and Anna Svärd (1928). There are a number of surprising connections between these narratives in a broader intertextual sense. For instance, The Sundler, one of the protagonists in Lagerlöf's work, is at the outset of the novel scary because she seeems so manipulative, but her character escalates from this uncanniness into evoking stronger fears of abjection at the end of the narrative, while the narrator-protagonist Carina in Rydberg's work is in the outset of the novel marked by abjection, later undergoes a change in terms of subjectivation, but ends in scaring the reader through uncertainities typical of the uncanny.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The valuation of literature, authorships, and individual texts ripples through time and space like waves. This pilot study which initiates a more extensive project on value considers Mälarpirater by Sigfrid Siwertz (1911) and The Yearling by Marjorie Rawlings (1938) and traces the literary valuation of these award-winning texts, usually seen as classic youth novels about wild boys. The authors were at approximately the same stage of their authorial life cycles at the time of publication, and both have been subject to major renegotiations in terms of value, but they are worlds apart when it comes to rhetorical position and style. The article draws up an inventory of the actors and value-creating acts in the valuation process, and discusses similarities and differences between two works that belong to such divergent contexts as the Swedish and the American literary arenas.Conceptually, our readings draw on ideas from Pierre Bourdieu and Raymond Williams and operationalise a combination of these in relation to literary value. In the comparative analysis, we apply categories of value from previous Swedish literary research: style and form, knowledge, emotional, social, and economic values. The life cycles of the two authorships provide numerous examples of grounds for upward valuation and devaluation. The classification of Mälarpirater and The Yearling as youth novels, not least based on paratextual aspects, proves to be significant. Both Siwertz and Rawlings are more or less forgotten as authors today, but these works survived much longer than the authorships themselves.
