Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is an article on how Scandinavian poetry has, over the last couple of decades, dealt with its inherent associations with autonomy, exclusion and marginalization. Due to the rise of new media, and the effects of what the social sciences call the "mediatization" of society, contemporary poetry has in large chosen to walk away from its Romantic-Modernist tradition of exclusion and marginalization (and the ideological implications of that), without compromising on autonomy. One of the ways in which this has been accomplished is by the use of what the article labels "impure large forms", inspired by the impure ideals of e.g. 1960s Scandinavian concrete poetry and the 1970-1980s North American L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E-movement. These contemporary impure large forms are exemplified by Danish poet Mette Moestrup's book "kingsize" from 2006, and Swedish poet Anna Hallberg's book "mil" from 2008.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What happens when a writer crosses the boundaries of literature? This is a question which it is quite pointless to ask, unless you state your theoretical point of departure. When that has been done, however, it is one of the most important issues which a literary scholar can raise. Through certain parts of the theories of Jean-Jacques Lecercle (mainly his concept of the “remainder” in language), Marjorie Perloff (mainly her discussions of how free verse is convention-based, and of what comes out of that insight: what she labels “after free verse”), and Jacques Rancière (mainly his concepts “polis” and “the political”), I aim to discuss what happens when Swedish contemporary poets Anna Hallberg and Lars-Mikael Raattamaa during recent years have sought to actively cross the boundaries of literature. These theoretical perspectives enable me to dwell on the political implications of this kind of boundary-crossing. This political dimension consists of a critique not only of the conventions of literature, but also of the modernist view of e.g. free verse. The crossing of literature’s boundaries not only moves them. More importantly, in these cases, it identifies them; it even highlights them, rendering them open for scrutiny.

Den poetiska zonen. Poesins performativa potential i bilderböcker för barn : The Poetic Zone: The Performative Potential of Poetry in Picturebooks for Children
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses how picturebooks for children can make use of poetry in order to empower child readers to bridge the asymmetric aetonormativity between child and adult inherent in the picturebook format. The article launches the concept of the poetic zone, springing from both epistemologically based poetry theory and norm critical theory. Two picturebooks are used as examples: Gro Dahle’s and Svein Nyhus’s Snill [What a Girl!], from 2002, and Lina Ekdahl and Emma Hanquist’s Vi smular vi härmar en gök [We Crumble We Imitate a Cuckoo], from 2016. Analyses of the poetic qualities of the two books show how they both pinpoint, and performatively empower, the child reader’s perspective. This takes place in the relationships between child and adult within the books’ plots, as well as in relation to the picturebook format. The poetic qualities that contribute in this sense concern both imagery, and rhythmical as well as auditory aspects of language.

Poesins performativt politiska potential i bilderböcker för barn

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Detta paper utgår ifrån Hélène Cixous fokus på det poetiska språket som motståndspraktik mot maktordningarna kön och genus, men flyttar över dessa tankar till maktordningen ålder. Fokus ligger på hur denna maktordning manifesteras i bilderböcker för barn, samt på hur användandet av poesi (i framställningen benämnd "den poetiska zonen") i dessa bilderböcker kan lyfta barnläsarens känsla av underordning. De bilderböcker som analyseras är Snill av Gro Dahle och Svein Nyhus, och Vi smular vi härmar en gök av Lina Ekdahl och Emma Hanquist.

- Rytmer, klanger och känslor är språkets ursprung. Vi lyssnar och tar till oss språk med såväl öronen, kroppen som hela vårt känsloregister. Det gör språket till ett effektivt medel för maktutövning. Men också för poetiskt uppror.

Uteslutna associationer, språkvåld och återideologisering hos Anna Hallberg och Lars Mikael Raattamaa : Excluded Associations, Violence of Language and Re-ideologisation in Anna Hallberg and Lars Mikael Raattamaa
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Samlaren : tidskrift för svensk litteraturvetenskaplig forskning. - 0348-6133 .- 2002-3871. ; 138, s. 23-52
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this article is to study what the French linguist Jean-Jacques Lecercle identified as ”the remainder of language” in his book The Violence of Language (1990), and how this is being put into play in two poetry books from 2008, by the Swedish poets Anna Hallberg and Lars Mikael Raattamaa. By explicitly challenging a large number of conventions of language, typography, and poetry, these books raise critical issues on how the language system works. These issues specifically concern what parts and aspects of language are allowed in within the linguistic system, and what parts and aspects are being kept out. These regulational mechanisms are demonstrated, and scrutinised, in these books – giving them touches of meta-critique, as well as of ideology critique. This scrutiny not only shows the relevance of identifying and understanding the mechanisms of exclusion that Lecercle identified within academic linguistics 25 years ago. It also brings them into contemporary society, where they – due to globalisation, and technological development – have disseminated, and become part of almost everyone’s daily experience. The results of the article stress how this dissemination increases the societal relevance of the kind of scrutiny undertaken by Hallberg and Raattamaa, and how it can assist in re-ideologising language.

Ida Börjel and the Politics of Form
- 2011
-
Ingår i: "Norlit 2011. Conference on Literature and Politics", 2011-08-05, Roskilde, Denmark.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper studies the political implications of linguistic and literary conventions, through theorists like Jean-Jacques Lecercle, Jacques Rancière, and Marjorie Perloff. My touchstone will be the poetry of Swedish contemporary poet Ida Börjel. What is focused in Börjel’s writing is her tendencies to use “found objects”, and to question the representational function of language, as its primary function. These tendencies correspond well to e.g. Rancière’s thoughts on literature and its relation to life, as well as to Lecercle’s discussions on the barriers between what is inside language’s conventions, and what is left outside (“the remainder”). The paper dwells on certain political dimensions of theories like theirs, from a perspective which might, at least to a certain extent, be described as culture-semiotic: What ideologies come with a certain semiotic understanding, with certain linguistic conventions? And what ideologies surface when these conventions, this understanding, is questioned in one way or the other? Concepts like parataxis and language materialism will be crucial to my discussion, since these concepts (or at least certain facets of them) stress functions of language and literature which are not representational. Lecercle’s theories on “the remainder” of language prove very effective when applied not specifically as linguistic tools primarily, but as tools for literary analysis. Especially when one approaches a literature which tries to scrutinize, and even transgress, its own boundaries and conventions – as does Börjel’s. This concept also proves a useful complement in relation to Rancière’s more qualitative concept of the “political”, and its relationship to literature specifically. Rancière speaks mainly of the novel, and Lecercle mainly of language (in more general terms). Within the habitat of Marjorie Perloff’s theories of experimental poetry, these two theoretical perspectives can find an environment where literary form and politics have a lot to say to each other. And the outcome of such a discussion would have relevance when it comes to the relationship between such politically radiant pairs as nature and culture, or ecology and economy.

Behovet av trygghet - barnlyrikens regressiva typologi och Hanne Bramness
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Nordisk samtidspoesi. Hanne Bramness' författarskap / Ole Karlsen og Hans Kristian Rustad (red.). - Oslo : Novus forlag. - 2387-452X .- 2703-8459. - 9788283900361 ; , s. 223-244
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Detta kapitel undersöker Hanne Bramness barnlyriska bok Vintersong (2014) utifrån ett främst anknytningsteoretiskt perspektiv. Frågor som diskuteras är poesins relation till det lilla barnets utveckling, såväl kognitivt, känslomässigt och socialt. Genom att de språkliga drag som vi kallar poetiska är bland de första som vi utvecklar som barn är de knutna till kroppsminnen av våra allra tidigaste känslor och relationer. Detta gör att poesin även senare i livet kan påminna oss om dessa minnen, och därmed också om de anknytningsmönster som formades där och då. Detta kommer särskilt tydligt till ytan i Vintersong, dels på grund av att relationer mellan diktjagets då och nu lyfts fram, dels genom att dikterna så tydligt använder sig av språkets klang- och rytmmässiga drag.
