En strid för det som borde vara : Viktor Rydberg som moderniseringskritiker 1891–1895
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation deals with the critique of modernization in the late work of Viktor Rydberg (1828–1895). The primary objects of study are the novel Vapensmeden (”The Armourer”) and the essay ”Den hvita rasens framtid” (”The Future of the White Race”). The study combines perspectives from narrative, rhetorical and sociological theory and describes the fictive and non-fictive text as tools of resistance against the process of modernization.Rydberg’s later work has often been left uncommented by critics and literary historians. The novel Vapensmeden, for example, has been considered nostalgic and conservative, in contrast to Rydberg’s earlier poems and novels, widely read as progressive and idealistic. This study questions that view, while at the same time explaining its roots, through a detailed study of the changes in Rydberg’s fame and persona during the first century after his death. In order to describe how Rydberg’s work reached a mass audience during the first half of the twentieth century, this dissertation also includes a bibliography for the years 1896–2003.Rydberg’s ideological development in the 1880s and 1890s is interpreted as a consequence of his reluctance to accept a society created by the liberalism of his youth, which he felt had metamorphosed from an ideology of freedom to a defense of greed and destruction. This, however, does not mean that he had become a conservative, but rather a restless seeker of alternatives. In his last works, he made use of his reputation both as a poet and a novelist and as a well-read and respected academic. Every device, every possible effort was needed in order to control the forces of modernization. In fact, in Vapensmeden as well as in ”Den hvita rasens framtid”, Rydberg mixes fictional and academic writing, speaking from two positions at the same time.

Northern Crossings : Translation, Circulation and the Literary Semi-periphery
- 2022
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open access book uses Swedish literature and the Swedish publishing field as recurring examples to describe and analyse the role of the literary semi-peripheral position in world literature from various perspectives and on meso, micro and macro levels, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. This includes the role of translation in the semi-periphery and the conditions under which literature travels to and from that position. The focus is not on Sweden, as such, but rather on the semi-peripheral transitional space as exemplified by the Swedish case.Consisting of three co-written chapters, this study sheds light on what might be called the semi-peripheral condition or the semi-periphery as an area of transition. As part of the Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures series, it makes continuous use of the concepts of 'cosmopolitan' and 'vernacular' – or rather, the processual terms, cosmopolitanization and vernacularization – which provide an overall structure to the analysis of literature and literary phenomena. In this way, the authors show that the semi-periphery is an ideal point of departure to further the understanding of world literature, because it is a place where the cosmopolitan (the literary universal) and the vernacular (the rootedness in a particular culture or place) interact in ways that have not yet been thoroughly explored.
