Död och dagishämtningar : en kvantitativ analys av det tidiga 2000-talets svenska kriminallitteratur
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study investigates contemporary Swedish crime fiction through a quantitative content analysis of 116 Swedish crime fiction novels published 1998–2015 and written by the most successful authors in the genre. The study discusses killers, murder motives, victims, murder methods, and detectives and other protagonists, with the aim of identifying social patterns and recurring themes.In general, these novels are dominated by female protagonists and put much emphasis on portrayals of the main characters in their struggle to combine work and family life. This simultaneous shift to a female perspective and a focus on everyday life stands out in comparisons to earlier Swedish crime fiction. The novels are furthermore permeated by a partial realism, where depictions of everyday life, settings and contemporary details are realistic and concrete, while depictions of killers, murder motives, murder methods and victims most often are imaginative, spectacular and sensational, and thus in most cases show few similarities with actual crimes in contemporary Sweden. Also, the selection is characterised by a dominance of normality, where main characters and innocent victims affirm “normality” (they are most often middle class, white, heterosexual Swedes without immigrant background), whereas killers and unsympathetic victims are depicted as deviants in stark contrast to normality.The content often seems to be chosen by how well it works in relation to plot lines and genre requirements. Therefore, it is argued that both contextualising and functionalistic perspectives need to be taken into account when analysing depictions of society in contemporary crime fiction. With such a dual-vision approach, the ostensible realistic social criticism in the genre to a high extent appears to be a story about the genre.

Mordförpackningar : Omslag, titlar och kringmaterial till svenska pocketdeckare 1998–2011
- 2016
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study examines how Swedish crime fiction has been packaged in the book trade in the early 2000s. The main material consists of 153 Swedish crime fiction paperbacks published in Sweden 1998–2011 and written by the most successful authors of crime fiction of that period. The term peritext, coined by Gérard Genette, is used to cover all aspects of books that affect the reader apart from the literary work itself. Five empirical chapters focus on five different aspects: 1) cover design; 2) titles and subtitles; 3) citations and blurbs; 4) acknowledgements; and 5) author presentations, extra material and advertising. It is shown that the packaging of crime fiction is crucial when it comes to genre formation and author branding. Among the results are how these “murder packages” have become increasingly elaborated over time, that male and female writers of crime fiction have been presented in distinctly different ways, and how the reliability and realism of a story often is emphasized in the peritext.

Studentdikt för tillfället 1660–1699 : Kvantitativa undersökningar av tryckta tillfällesdikter av Värmlandsstudenter vid Uppsala universitet
- 2020
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Early Modern students were prominent writers of occasional poetry. Of the 330 students matriculated 1660-1699 at Värmlands nation, Uppsala University, a total of 123 are listed as authors in the catalogue of occasional poetry at Uppsala University Library, with 373 poems attributed to them. Using quantitative methods, this study reveals the patterns of writing occasional poetry. The typical author was a reasonably successful student, intent on a career, neither poor nor of independent means. It is clearly shown that publishing occasional verse typically happens after matriculation at Uppsala but before taking up a position in society. The importance of local networks is highlighted. Typically students would return to the region where they grew up. Only a few ascended from a regional to a national context, a fact that is mirrored in the patterns of their production of occasional poetry. Four well-known Swedish authors can be found within the cohort – Petrus Lagerlöf, Olof Hermelin, Torsten Rudeen and Peter Warnmark. This quartet show an atypical publication pattern. Their output is greater, and they continue to write even after their studies are completed.

De tecknade seriernas språk : Uttryck och form
- 2017. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tecknade serier har funnits i sin moderna form sedan slutet på 1800-talet. I Sverige kom genombrottet kring 1980. Serietecknare som Joakim Pirinen, Inger Edelfeldt, Lena Ackebo, Charlie Christensen, Joakim Lindengren och deras generationskamrater har följts av nya vågor av serieskapare som Liv Strömquist och Martin Kellerman, tills mediet idag är ett av de mest kreativa och intressanta. Trots det har det i hög grad förbisetts inom den akademiska forskningen. Denna antologi vill bidra till att råda bot på den bristen. Den innehåller ett brett spektrum av texter, allt ifrån en inledande beskrivning av ”vuxenseriernas” framväxt i Sverige till en diskussion om produktionsvillkoren och de tecknade seriernas framtid.De medverkande tillhör de mest framträdande inom området. De är film-, konst- och litteraturvetare, liksom förläggare, redaktörer, översättare och serieskapare.Kristina Arnerud Mejhammar: Tecknade serier för vuxna i Sverige från 1960-tal till 2016: en introduktionDavid Gedin: Bildligt bokstavligt, bokstavligt bildligtHans-Christian Christiansen: En metode til tegneserieanalyse: komparativ analyse af film og tegneserieThierry Groensteen: Mer om sammanflätning i serier (Précisions sur l'art du tressage)Aude Pasquier: Tegneserier, boblespråk og hvorfor oversettere får insomniaNina Ernst: Det tecknade jaget.

Romanen som vardagsvara : Förläggare, författare och skönlitterära häftesserier i Sverige 1833-1851 från Lars Johan Hierta till Albert Bonnier
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation is a study of four Swedish publishing houses and the serialized fiction they published between 1833 and 1851. The focus is on Lars Johan Hierta’s Läsebibliothek (Readers’ Library) 1833–1851, N.H. Thomson’s Kabinetsbibliothek (Home Library) 1835–1846 and Nya Svenska Parnassen (New Swedish Parnassus) 1847–1848, Östlund & Berling’s Originalbibliothek (Original Library) 1845–1851 and Albert Bonnier’s Europeiska Följetongen (European Series) 1846–1851. Serialized fiction is defined for the purposes of this study as a series of novels published in parts on a weekly basis over the course of a year. This method enabled publishers to keep prices down and entice new readers as subscribers to the series. The concept was so successful that by 1850 two-thirds of the prose fiction published in Sweden took this form. Thus the publishers had found an effective, new channel for the circulation of fiction.For Hierta, the series served as the cornerstone of successful publishing activities. His printing press was mainly used for the publication of a daily newspaper called Aftonbladet, but his Läsebibliothek was also a cutting-edge product for reaching the general public. Hiertas’s series was mainly of translated fiction from French and English, and his most popular author was Edward Bulwer Lytton. Thomson took up competition for translated fiction in his Kabinetsbibliothek, but he gradually included more and more original Swedish fiction, his most popular author being Emilie Flygare-Carlén. Before phasing out his activities, Thomson started a series with only renowned Swedish authors, Nya Svenska Parnassen. One of his reasons for terminating his publishing activities was that a Norrköping publishing house, Östlund & Berling, began to compete with him on the Swedish fiction market, and managed to lure Flygare-Carlén over to their Originalbibliothek. Hierta, too, saw a new competitor in Albert Bonnier, who began publishing Europeiska Följetongen. Bonnier’s series included many of the most popular European authors, taken mainly from contemporary French serialized fiction.The demise of serialized fiction in Sweden was largely attributed to increased costs for postal distribution. Beginning in the mid-1840s, these series had had the advantage of being distributed postage-free, at only a low “stamp duty”. This fee wad doubled in 1851, which led to changes and gradual abandonment of the form. For a little less than two decades, serialized fiction had comprised the core of Swedish fiction publishing, and it had also gradually become the forum in which a large number of authors saw their first works published. This study therefore includes a sociological analysis of the forty-two Swedish authors whose works were included in the various series, and the analysis indicates that most of them found themselves in a position where it was becoming possible to make their livings writing for the increasingly commercialized book market. Authors had begun to write for the market, and the market opened up to them. Professional translators were also needed to keep the series running. Above all, thanks to the publishers of serialized fiction, Swedish authors were able to reach larger audiences during this period of transition when the novel was truly becoming an everyday commodity.
