Silence and Silencing in Children’s Literature
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concept of silence and silencing evokes questions of self in relation to others, of language and of communication, even of what it is that makes us human. It contains numerous interpretative possibilities, all highly relevant for the study of children’s literature. Aiming the searchlight at silence and silencing points at the multiple ways in which children’s literature functions, and how complex and varied – and sometimes paradoxical – children’s literature is as a field. The relationship between children’s literature and silence suggests an intriguing tension between voicing and silencing, between speech and the unspoken. While children’s literature tends to be considered a liberating and empowering force in children’s lives, it can also be seen as implicated in a widespread and deeply rooted discourse of silence and silencing, which draws on the idea that children should be seen but not heard. The theme also draws attention to how children’s literature can both challenge and reinforce notions of which subjects are tabooed or censored, which further points to the necessity of examining the silences and lacunae within children’s literature.This volume springs out of a global congress, IRSCL Congress 2019: Silence and Silencing in Children’s Literature, organized by the editors of this volume in Stockholm, Sweden. The volume includes the five keynotes of the congress as well as a selection of studies sprung from congress presentations. It is divided into five sections: Multiple Facets of Silence and Silencing, Narrating Silence, Addressing Aetonormative Silences, Structural and Societal Silences and Silencing, and Trauma and Traumatic Silences. The book is edited by Elina Druker, Professor at Stockholm University, Sweden; Björn Sundmark, Professor at Malmö University, Sweden; Åsa Warnqvist, Docent and Research Manager at the Swedish Institute for Children’s Books, Sweden, and Mia Österlund, Associate Professor at Åbo Akademi University, Finland.

Charge engineering reveals the roles of ionizable side chains in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The role of ionizable side chains in the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of intact proteins remains hotly debated but has not been conclusively addressed because multiple chargeable sites are present in virtually all proteins. Using engineered soluble proteins, we show that ionizable side chains are completely dispensable for charging under native conditions, but if present, they are preferential protonation sites. The absence of ionizable side chains results in identical charge state distributions under native-like and denaturing conditions, whilst co-existing conformers can be distinguished using ion mobility separation. An excess of ionizable side chains, on the other hand, effectively modulates protein ion stability. We conclude that the sum of charges is governed solely by Coulombic terms, while their locations affect the stability of the protein in the gas phase.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In solution, the charge of a protein is intricately linked to its stability, but electrospray ionization distorts this connection, potentially limiting the ability of native mass spectrometry to inform about protein structure and dynamics. How the behavior of intact proteins in the gas phase depends on the presence and distribution of ionizable surface residues has been difficult to answer because multiple chargeable sites are present in virtually all proteins. Turning to protein engineering, we show that ionizable side chains are completely dispensable for charging under native conditions, but if present, they are preferential protonation sites. The absence of ionizable side chains results in identical charge state distributions under native-like and denaturing conditions, while coexisting conformers can be distinguished using ion mobility separation. An excess of ionizable side chains, on the other hand, effectively modulates protein ion stability. In fact, moving a single ionizable group can dramatically alter the gas-phase conformation of a protein ion. We conclude that although the sum of the charges is governed solely by Coulombic terms, their locations affect the stability of the protein in the gas phase.

Editorial : Silence and Silencing in Children's Literature
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- International Research in Children’s Literature is essential reading for scholars in the field of children's literature. The journal primarily focuses on applications of cultural and literary theories, comparative literatures, and the production and reception of children's literature as a world literature. Widely international in scope, the journal addresses the diverse intellectual currents of this constantly expanding subject area. This volume originates out of the international congress, IRSCL Congress 2019: Silence and Silencing in Children’s Literature, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden on 14–18 August 2019. It was hosted by the Swedish Institute for Children’s Books in collaboration with Malmö University and Stockholm University in Sweden and Åbo Akademi University in Finland.

Tillsammans i Engelsfors : Socialt fiktionsbruk i Engelsforstrilogins digitala fangemenskap 2011–2016
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis examines a digital reading community within a framework of fan culture. This community was formed in the early 2010s by fans of a Swedish fantasy series, The Engelsfors Trilogy (2011–2013), written by Mats Strandberg and Sara Bergmark Elfgren. Fan culture can be described as an interpretative community with established terminology and repertoires. Within a growing participatory culture, fans’ active engagements with fictional worlds have become mainstream, and more broadly spread. My study focuses on the creative practice of fan art, that is stories, pictures and videos created by fans, with an original work as a point of departure. I examine fan art as a form of reader response, expressed and shared within the digital community. The empirical material consists of blog posts (about 800) published between 2011 and 2016 on six different websites. Focusing on the readers of fan culture, my study combines perspectives of sociology of literature and fan studies. I also use theoretical concepts from narratology to discuss relations between the multiple variations of the Engelsfors universe that emerge through fan art. The analysis is partly a quantitative survey covering the art work’s forms and content, as well as contextual aspects of posting and sharing Engelsfors-related material, partly close readings of the most significant motifs: the engagement with fictional characters and romantic readings of the main love story. The approach provides a holistic perspective, unusual in research about fans and reading communities. By comparing the activities in different digital contexts, I argue for more nuanced perspectives on how digital engagements differ in relation to user purposes. The readers’ art works as well as their interaction, centre on the fictive characters, their features, personalities and relationships. Emotional readings comprise a general focus within fan culture, and among Engelsfors fans the emphasis is on strong positive emotions like affection, friendship, security, romance and love. Paying close attention to emotive aspects of how and why reading experiences are being shared has been a key perspective when looking at how different creative and communicative practices relate to different needs and purposes among the fan readers. Critical modifications of the source text are rare, and instead an enthusiastic and affirmative attitude dominates in relation to the authors’ project as well as to fellow fans in the community.
