Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- When Jon Fosse receives this year’s Nobel prize in literature in December, it will be collected by a playwright and novelist whose work examines the lives of ordinary people on the outer reaches of society, trying to cope with the challenges and hardships of daily life.But his work is suffused with hope and affection as well as a darker sense of foreboding. There is a warm affinity between Fosse and the characters that populate his plays, highlighting their humanity.Fosse, a Norwegian who lives in Bergen, has also been much praised for his seven-part novel Septology, nominated for the International Booker prize in 2022. But few beyond Scandinavia and Germany realise his international success was built on his work as a dramatist. So who is this Scandinavian writer who has scooped the world’s most sought-after literary prize?

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Swedish theatre has during the last decades gone through a transformation. The male predominance of directors, playwrights, and theatre managers has been challenged. International cooperation has been more common and stage art forms are now more merged, where especially new circus has played a central role. Swedish theatre is highly subsidized, but despite this the neoliberal agenda has affected the theatre with the enforcement of reporting and measurement systems. The school system has partly been privatized which has exacerbated the situation for theatre for young people. The central question now for the Swedish theatre is how to attract new audiences.

The Rise and Fall of a Theater King : Albert Ranft and the Commercialization of the Swedish Theater Field between the 1890s and 1920s
- 2022
-
In: Urban Popular Culture and Entertainment. - New York : Routledge. - 9781032161891 - 9781032161839 - 9781003247401 ; , s. 109-136
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Albert Ranft dominated Swedish theater production from 1894 to 1925. At the height of his career, he was running seven theaters in Stockholm, one in Gothenburg, and two touring companies. By developing innovative regional touring strategies, importing artistic and technical innovations from other European cultural centers, and fostering especially close theatrical connections with the Nordic countries, Ranft emerges as an important figure not only in Swedish theater history, but in the field of European cultural transfers more broadly. Moreover, his career provides a unique opportunity to study the commercialization of the Swedish theater field between the 1890s and 1920s, and its much slower division into modernist high art theater and popular entertainment than in some of the better-known cases from Western or Central Europe. Based on transnational exchanges, Ranft was able to run his theatrical businesses successfully by relying on a mixture of light entertainment, business knowhow, and high drama that did not give space for a pure art theater until the 1920s, making him an integrative force in Sweden's theater field. The chapter highlights some of his most successful productions and methods, but also considers his dramatic downfall from a position of supremacy in the theater.

Brecht as a Stranger in a Postdramatic Era : Fatzer at Deutsches Theater 2016
- 2021
-
In: The Brecht Yearbook / Das Brecht-Jahrbuch 46. - New York : Camden House. - 9780985195694
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- According to Hans-Thies Lehmann it is impossible to think of postdramatic theater without the necessary steps that Brecht took. Given his strong emphasis on the narrative, Brecht is not postdramatic, but his theories about Verfremdung, Gestus and audience are groundbreaking steps towards postdramatic theater. Several theorists have already analyzed the relation between Brecht and postmodern/postdramatic theater (Badiou, Barnett, Fuchs, Jameson, Varney, Wirth, Wright). Barnett argues that it is impossible to combine Brecht with the postdramatic after analyzing a couple of productions that have tried this. The reason for their failure is seen in the problem of representation. In contradiction to this assumption I will argue that a postdramatic production could indeed reactivate Brecht’s theories and strengthen their possible effect. Brecht remains a stranger in the encounter with postdramatic theater (another stranger in a theater culture that is still dominated by dramatic plays and psychological realism), but the meeting between these two strangers can be fruitful. In this contribution I analyze the production of Fatzer at Deutsches Theater, Berlin directed by Tom Kühnel and Jürgen Kuttner in Berlin in 2016.

Lars Norén and Jon Fosse : Nordic grey or theatre innovators?
- 2020

In: Contemporary European Playwrights. - : Routledge. - 9781138084223 - 9781315111940 ; , s. 95-111
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Lars Noren and Jon Fosse are frequently described as the most important Scandinavian playwrights since August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen. In this chapter, the author argues that in the field of European theatre, there are theatres, festivals, magazines, directors and actors that are particularly important in achieving visibility. He highlights what has been written about Noren and Fosse in the German publication Theater Heute, which has a key position when it comes to introducing new trends and playwrights in continental Europe.
