Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, girl sleuth series in juvenile fiction appeared as a new phenomenon in the early 1950s. Deducing American influence, I compare the initial novel in the first series originally written in Swedish, Uno Modin’s Puck jagar en skugga (1951) with the first novel about Nancy Drew, Carolyn Keene’s The Secret of the Old Clock, launched in Swedish the year after. The analysis shows that although there are some basic similarities between the heroines, their contexts and agency significantely diverge. Also, whereas the Nancy Drew story is narrated in a fable-like manner, the Puck story has realist traits and a more advanced and ”literary” language. These differences, together with the post-war time context, help explain the immense popularity of the Nancy Drew novels in relation to the Swedish series.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Personliga brev utgör traditionellt sett ett viktigt källmaterial inom alla de historiskt orienterade ämnena, exempelvis i biografiska studier. Under senare år har brev också uppmärksammats som en berättarform med särskilda kännetecken, som kan beforskas t.ex. från retoriska och narratologiska infallsvinklar. Bl.a. inom anglosaxisk poststrukturalistiskt inspirerad forskning och diskussion har synen på brevs textualitet också lett till ett generellt ifrågasättande av fakta- eller informationsvärdet eller av bruket av brev som dokument. Idag tycks intresset för brevutgåvor och för brev som biografisk källa åter vara stort i Sverige. Det aktualiserar frågan om hur brevdiskurser förstås och behandlas som historiska referenser. I artikeln framhåller jag risken för att de kulturellt inövade föreställningarna om brev som autentiska dokument och som sanningsbärare skymmer komplexa kulturhistoriska aspekter av brevpraktiken. Syftet är att problematisera vissa för-givet-taganden om brevberättandets direkta hänvisning till en historisk verklighet, till fakta eller sanning. Jag lyfter också fram exempel på forskare som på fruktbara sätt arbetat med brevs textuella, mediala och relationella aspekter, och som därmed visat på alternativa sätt att förstå brevets sociala roll.

God dag, min läsare! Bland berättare, brevskrivare, boktryckare och andra bidragsgivare i tidig svensk veckopress 1730-1773
- 2015

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis deals with the early press of 'moral weeklies' in Sweden during the period 1730 to 1773, focussing on media technological conditions and the uses of the epistolary form. This genre, which initially followed the pattern of the English Spectator, emerged in the 1730s with nine journals produced in Stockholm. These were the first periodicals in Sweden that aimed to entertain as well as instruct. The study begins with the aim of finding explanations for their sudden emergence, by looking into the cultural and tech-nological conditions of the period; such as printing, distribution, censorship practices, and potential audiences (chapters 3–6). The fall of autocracy and the rise of an early parlamentarianism provided the background. Stockholm attracted printers and book dealers, and a new generation of literati made careers in the state adminstration. Among these were several of the journals’ editors, as well as potential readers. In the next part (chapters 7–8), the extensive and varied use of the epistolary form in these weeklies is analysed, as serving different purposes. A closer examination and interpretation is made of the epistolary material in Sedolärande Mercurius [Didactic Mercury] (1730-1731), edited by Carl and Edvard Carlsson, and Then Swänska Argus [The Swedish Argus] (1732-1734), edited by Olof Dalin. In Sedolärande Mercurius a number of letters explore the theme of problems with foreign trade; and in Then Swänska Argus satires in epistolary form paint a picture of ideas from abroad posing a threat to social life, and especially to married life. The last part (chapters 9–10) follows these trends further in time, by looking into the uses of the epistolary form in a couple of journals in the latter half of the 18th century: Bref Om Blandade Ämnen [Letters about a variety of subjects] (1754), edited by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell; and Brefwäxling [Letter Exchange] (1772–1773) by Catharina Ahlgren. Brefwäxling in particular differs substantially from the journals in the 1730s, a fact that is discussed in terms of a transition from oral culture to a more literary one, new trends in epistolary rhetoric, and the gender of the narrator. The methods used in the study are archival research and textual analysis.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The body of the individual aroused special interest in discourses of the European Enlightenment. One of the questions at stake in literary, rhetorical and epistolary practices concerned what can be inferred about a person's inner self on the basis of his or her bodily appearance. In the second half of the 1700s, the new epistolary rhetoricians recommended that letter writers throw off the stiff personas of classical rhetoric and instead perform the discourse of the heart. The proposed performance, however, was constrained by new parameters, not least strong gender biases. The impact of these cultural discourses are discussed in relation to letters written between 1789 and 1791 by Julie Björckegren, the wife of a Swedish mayor, to Count Carl Sparre, her former lover. Her writing about her body and her social roles is interpreted as a self-reflective practice formed within the constraints of the rhetorical and cultural context. By this practice she shapes her subjectivity and constructs her self as a bourgeois woman.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The last issue of Olof Dalin’s essay paper Then Swänska Argus (The Swedish Argus), published 1732-34, is compared to the last issue of Catharina Ahlgren's Brefwäxling (Letter exchange), published 1772-1773. The focus of the analysis is the epistolary character of these discourses and the rhetorical differences between them. For a sample, see http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/9781847184016-sample.pdf
