Para-espaces dans le théâtre français de la période romantique (1828-1835)
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis deals with the functions of prevalent threshold-like spaces such as windows, stairs, doors or balconies in theatre plays from the height of the Romantic era in France (1828-1835). The study coins the concept of « para-espaces » (para-spaces) and elucidates the way they mediate between different divisions of the spatiotemporal structure of a play. It applies a textual approach with a deeper focus on the inherent permeability of para-espaces, rather than merely their capacity to impose physical or symbolic limits. It aims to shed light on the impact of para-espaces on the structures of the dramatic text, to observe how they contribute to a redefinition of the relations between the stage and its surroundings – spatially and temporally, and to discern how they affect the poetics and aesthetics of theatre productions during the Romantic period. The analysis is based on a corpus of 36 plays representing different authors and genres. The theoretical part of the thesis revisits the fundaments of the notion of “dramatic space” and defines the concept of “para-espaces”, as well as discussing their potential to occupy a key place in global spatiotemporal structures of plays. It investigates how they mediate between the “actual space” (the stage) and “virtual spaces” (its spatiotemporal surroundings). The first chapter of the analysis deals with para-espaces as “spatio-dramatic pivot points”, i.e. as the spatial, actionnal and symbolic anchors of many plays. The second chapter focuses on sound permeability and how para-espaces are used to mediate information and heighten tensions between what is exposed on stage and what is hidden from sight. Para-espaces also convey visual information from the offstage space. The third chapter focuses on the prevalent rhetorical figure of “teichoscopie”, examining the benefits of placing part of the action offstage. It argues that this phenomenon, by allowing for a systematic emphasis on emotional reactions on stage, influences both the type of text it generates (in both monological and dialogical structures) and the relative disappearance of the role of the “confidant” among the dramatis personae. The fourth chapter addresses the ambiguities of para-espaces as mechanisms for both openness and closeness in the works of Alexandre Dumas, and elucidates how he uses them to build up tension, as well as to deepen the characterization of the protagonists of his plays. The fifth and final chapter discusses the inscription of para-espaces in the predominant aesthetic of “the spectacular”, finding that they often deviate from their original function in order to actualize tensions related to identity and social roles in nineteenth-century France.

Den karibiska ordboken

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Den franske missionären Raymond Breton reste i början av 1640-talet till Karibien. Uppdraget att konvertera ursprungsfolket blev inte särskilt lyckosamt. Istället skulle hans resa bli berömd för något helt annat. Under sin tid i Karibien började Breton kartlägga det främmande språk han mötte hos lokalbefolkningen. Arbetet mynnade ut i en fransk-’karibisk’ ordbok, som både blev flitigt använd under hans egen tid och inflytelserik långt efter den. Ordboken förvandlar det karibiska talspråket till den franska maktens skrivna språk. Men var den bara ett led i förtrycket? Eller bär den också spår av röster som bryter upp berättelsen om det franska maktövertagandet? Litteraturvetaren Christina Kullberg läser en ordbok som mellan raderna berättar en annan historia än den gängse om koloniseringen av Karibien.

Écopetique et résonance chez Glissant
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cette communication s’interroge sur l’écopoétique dans l’œuvre de Glissant à partir du concept de la résonance. Glissant propose une écopoétique ancrée dans la matérialité concrète du paysage, menant à une épistémologie intuitive de l’ailleurs et de l’avenir pourtant imprévisible. Le but de sera ici d’explorer la fonction de la sonorité pour entretenir la relation entre pensée et paysage afin de comprendre comment l’écopoétique de Glissant s’articule en partie comme une pratique d’écoute. D’une part, on verra comment le son devient vecteur pour faire résonner présent et passé. D’autre part, on analysera la manière dont l’écriture glissantienne s’engage dans un procédé paradoxal, voire contradictoire, qui consiste à faire de la dénomination locale du lieu, une poétique de l’extension et de la profusion qui résonne ailleurs.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter focuses on the investigation of Frantz Fanon's influence in Sweden, using this country as an indicator as to how Fanon was received and how he marked thinking and creativity in Scandinavia. It investigates how Fanon's presence in Scandinavia makes different political, social, artistic and literary histories intersect with one another through various channels. Siri Derkert's mural is a beautiful illustration of how Fanon's ideas have been imprinted in artistic, philosophical and political activity in Sweden from the 1960s onwards. Generally, Fanon is introduced as the greatest theoretician of decolonisation, and his problematisation of race is almost exclusively considered in relation to political struggles, while the psychoanalytic and philosophical dimensions of his ideas often go unnoticed. Historian Erik Tängerstad contacted Ulla Swedberg, the first translator of Fanon into Swedish, in 2009 on the occasion of a talk he gave at the Nobel Museum about the second edition of the 1969 translation.

Föränderliga öar

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Ön utgör en problematisk geografi. Öar rör på sig. Några försvinner. Andra dyker upp. Var börjar de? Var slutar de? Hur står de i relation till andra geografier? Är de del av havet eller kontinenten? En ö är sin kustlinje som inte är fast. Om en ö sträcker ut sig i oändlighet måste vi omvärdera vad dess avskildhet egentligen innebär. Thresor de la langue francoyse tant ancienne que moderne (1606) särskiljer ön från andra geografier genom att trycka på att det inte finns några hinder för att nå en ö. Det är inte gränserna som definierar ön utan dess föränderlighet. Kustlinjer är också platser där utbyten sker, där kulturer blandas, varor och kunskap utbytes. På gott och ont. Natur och landskap på öar som koloniserades på 16- och 1700-talet blev fullständigt förändrade som följd av européernas intrång. Idag är öar bland de geografier som är mest utsatta för klimatförändringar. Öar är sårbara, prekära, inte för att de är isolerade utan för att de är öppna mot omvärlden.

Le langage du paysage : Repenser les humanismes à travers l'écopoétique d'Édouard Glissant
- 2022

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Si ce que le philosophe et poète Édouard Glissant appelle une poétique de la Relation peut être comprise comme une réaction à la prétention à l’universalisme des humanismes, elle en est aussi une sorte de prolongation dans la mesure où elle propose, à travers la littérature et les arts, de repenser l’homme. Or il s’agit là d’un humanisme non pas articulé à partir du sujet, mais il est saisi dans la relation qu’il entretient avec « la matière même de tous les lieux, leur minutieux ou infini détail et l’ensemble exaltant de leurs particularités, qui sont à poser en connivence avec ceux de tous les lieux. » Pour dénoncer et esquiver la « logique de l’un », il propose donc une écopoétique ancrée dans la matérialité concrète du paysage, menant à une épistémologie intuitive de l’ailleurs et de l’avenir pourtant imprévisible. Cette communication interrogera la manière dont l’écopoétique glissantienne s’engage dans un procédé paradoxal, voire contradictoire qui consiste à faire de la dénomination locale du lieu, une poétique de l’extension et de la profusion qui résonne ailleurs, suggérant une autre République des Lettres, mondiale et diversifiée.

Like Moses on the Nile : Competing Temporalities in Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre’s Histoire générale des Antilles habitées par les Franҫois (1654/1667)
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Time and Temporalities in European Travel Writing. - New York : Routledge. - 9780367653903
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter investigates how Dominican missionary Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre’s Histoire Générale des Antilles habitées par les François (1667) placed the French settlements in the Caribbean within a classical and biblical timeframe. Mythological European temporality was thus linked to the politics of early colonisation and missions, creating a historical narrative of the French Antilles built on competing temporalities. The chapter studies metaphors, iterations, and visual images employed to create coherence within the layered and competing temporalities at play. Such temporal juxtapositions place the colony’s American adventure in the lineage of a European heritage, as if the author let the ‘sigh of History’ sweep over the Caribbean as a supplement for what Derek Walcott has described as the region’s absence of ruins. Kullberg argues that they infuse the text with competing temporalities pointing backwards and elsewhere while at the same time operating as a prolepse, hinting to the future. The analysis shows how Du Tertre embeds the story of French colonialism with a sense of moving forward, towards a new community to come, at the same time as this very movement not only temporally displaces the islands but also excludes Native inhabitants and enslaved people from the imagined futurity.

Points of Entanglement in French Caribbean Travel Writing (1620-1722)
- 2023
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open-access book investigates Francophone Caribbean literature by exploring and analyzing French seventeenth-century travel writings. The book argues for a literary reexamination of the representation of the early colonial Caribbean by proposing theoretical linkages to contemporary Caribbean theories of creolization and archipelagic thinking. Using Édouard Glissant's notion of points of entanglement, Christina Kullberg claims that the historical, social, and political messiness of the Caribbean seventeenth century make for complex representations and expressions, generating textual instability despite the travelers' apparent desires to domesticate the islands. Taking a synoptic approach to travel narratives in French from 1620 up to the publication of Labat's Nouveau voyage aux Isles de l'Amérique in 1722, Kullberg excavates traces of local impacts by examining textual instances of disruption where the islands and the peoples of this period unsettle dominant French narratives and enter productively into the construction of knowledge and the representations of the region. Kullberg's contribution is to read French early modern travels in situ as shaped by the archipelagic geography, its history and social formations in order to interrogate both the formation and the limitations of discourses of power.
