A Cultural History of the Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries 1925-50
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950 is the first publication to deal with the avant-garde in the Nordic countries in this period. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations: literature, visual arts, theatre, architecture and design, film, radio, body culture and magazines. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: the pre-war and wartime responses to international developments, the new cultural institutions, sexual politics, the impact of refugees and the new start after the war.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gösta Hellström was a prolific film critic who introduced new film movements into Sweden during the 1920s and 1930s. He also had a short career as a film director, and is especially known for his experimental short Tango (1932). Hellström is a representative of the early cinephilia and of a modernism that was never to be fulfilled in Sweden, at least not in terms of coherent film production. In the essay Hellström and his work are discussed as part of an ephemeral or fragmentary avant-garde.

Jewishness, Internationalism and the Swedish Music Scene : The reception of Moses Pergament
- 2019
-
Ingår i: A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950. - : BRILL. - 9789004366794 - 9789004388291 ; , s. 849-859
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Finnish-born, Swedish-Jewish composer and music critic Moses Pergament belonged to the first generation of Swedish modernists. Pergament’s Jewish and Swedish identity, as well as his modern aesthetic ideals, made him an outsider during the interwar period. The fact that Pergament, as a Jew, called himself a Swedish composer was seen as provocative and placed him in a cultural battlefield. The essay highlights the nationalist discourses linking Jewishness and avant-garde internationalism that were crucial in the reception given to Pergament – and an important part of the reception history of the avant-garde in general.

A Nordic Verfremdung : Bertolt Brecht's Exile in Denmark, Sweden and Finland 1933–1941
- 2019

Ingår i: A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1925–1950. - : BRILL. - 1387-3008. - 9789004366794 - 9789004388291 ; 36, s. 359-374
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The essay gives a brief account of Brecht’s years of exile in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Central to this story were his close relations with a number of cultural figures in the Nordic countries. The essay also discusses the way Brecht’s writing was transformed during his Nordic exile. It focuses on the fact that he wrote some of his best-known plays and developed his famous theory of Verfremdung while living in the Nordic countries. Last but not least, the essay tries to assess Brecht’s influence on contemporary Nordic literature and theatre. The conclusion is that he was received in the Nordic countries as a political writer rather than as a representative of the European avant-garde, and that very few in Denmark, Sweden and Finland had a clear understanding of his epic theatre.
