Samuel Ödmann : svensk 1700-talsöversättare med globala perspektiv
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Nya Argus. - Helsingfors : Ekenäs Tryckeri AB. - 0027-7126. ; 104:1-2, s. 34-37
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay discusses aspects of Samuel Ödmann's (1750-1829) translations/editions of about forty travel narratives. Ödmann was a Linnean by affection, professor at Upsala University, theologian, writer of hymns, and armchair traveller stuck to his sick bed for four decades. Ödmann's production has a global reach: he translated among others Jacob Cook, William Bligh, Mungo Park, Robert Norris, John White, and John Gabriel Stedman, and took a special interest in Africa. I focus on his translational and colonial methods of acculturalization and his ways of popularizing his source texts through acts of paraphrasing and editing.

A Nineteenth‐century Finnish Reading Society and Its World Views : Commerce, Civilization and Colonialism Examined
- 2009

Ingår i: Svensk biblioteksforskning. - Borås : Högskolan i Borås, Institutionen Biblioteks- och Informationsvetenskap. - 0284-4354 .- 1653-5235. ; 17:1, s. 1-27

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main objective of this essay is to examine the ʹworld viewsʹ of the nineteenth‐century Finnish circulatory library, ʺLäsesällskapet i Gamlakarlebyʺ that operated under mild imperial (Russian) supervision during its active period (1800‐ca 1870). For this purpose I have studied 93 beyond‐Europe books of travel and geography. I have identified two major ideological divides: a colonial that promotes ongoing aggressive Western expansion and a conciliatory one that mediates doubts and resistance. Samuel Ödmann, the translator and Uppsala professor of theology, represents the former divide; Anders Chydenius, one of the founding members, economist and clergyman, the latter. The collection engages, it is shown, the local reader of direct or indirect experiences of sailing, the ship industry and commerce which were the major trades of (Gamla)Karleby at the time. The Africa and West Indies related texts are a particularly rich feature. Slavery andt he unlucky Swedish part in colonization (Sierra Leone and St. Barthélemy) concern the readers.

Photography and American Coloniality : Eliot Elisofon in Africa, 1942-1972
- 2017
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- The empirical base of Photography and American Coloniality: Eliot Elisofon in Africa, 1942–1972 is the memory bank of two archives containing replications of the photographs that Eliot Elisofon collected over the course of three decades (1942–1972) of travel in Africa: Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archives, Smithsonian, National Museum of African Art (EEPA), and the Harry Ransom Center, the University of Texas at Austin (HRC). The book is a close reading of a single American photojournalist’s visual contact with Africa formatted within the interface of colonialism and the Cold War. By pairing the inner and outer cores of the book’s rhetorical address—the biographical (Elisofon) mindset of liberal conciliation, on the one hand, and the ideological efforts of imperial structure building, on the other—my aim is to construe a postcolonial minihistoriography that “can provide a critical genealogy to explicate the political shift from European colonialism to US imperialism

Culture in Africa : an appeal for pluralism
- 1993
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The essays in this publication range from poetry and drama to church music, architecture, and popular magazines. Common to them is the effort to make the disciplines of arts and those of social sciences meet. African cultural expressions are treated here as anchored in the experiences common to the people of Africa, while the provincial exclusiveness of Afrocentrism is shunned.
