1.	Animal horror cinema : genre, history and criticism 2015 Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract The first academic study of the genre of animal horror cinema is essential for cinema and animal studies scholars as well as for fans of horror film. It defines this popular sub-genre, outlines its history and studies recent films as well as cult classics from a variety of perspectives. A central idea in the book is that animal horror cinema mirrors socially entrenched fears of and attitudes toward animals. Thus, animal horror cinema reveals attitudes toward the fabric of social life, the fragility of the eco-system and a deep uncertainty about what makes humans different from animals. The book contains chapters by scholars with different national and disciplinary backgrounds, and therefore offers a wide range of interpretations on the significance of the animal in modern horror film.
2.	B-Movie Gothic : International Perspectives 2018 Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract Following the Second World War, low-budget B-movies that explored and exploited Gothic narratives and aesthetics became a significant cinematic expression of social and cultural anxieties. Influencing new trends in European, Asian and African filmmaking, these films carried on the tradition established by the Gothic novel, and yet they remain part of a largely neglected subject. B-Movie Gothic: International Perspectives examines the influence of Gothic B-movies on the cinematic traditions of the United States, Britain, Scandinavia, Spain, Turkey, Japan, Hong Kong and India, highlighting their transgressive, transnational and provocative nature. It shows how B-movie Gothic is a relentlessly creative form, filled with political tensions and moving from shocking conservatism to profound social critique.
3.	Bastami, Salumeh, 1967- (författare) Practical and clinical use of opioids 2013 Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Pain is a common symptom of a number of conditions including cancer and one of the most frequent reasons for seeking healthcare. Acute and chronic pain result in considerable discomfort with a detrimental impact on the quality of life. Opioids are the mainstay of pain management for many patients with severe pain. Opioids are, unfortunately, also commonly abused drugs, and are well-represented in forensic toxicology investigations.Side effects related to the central nervous system are the major reasons fordiscontinuation of opioid treatment. In this thesis, we tested the hypothesis that local analgesic treatment by opioids, without the usual opioid-related side effects, could be a potential alternative to systemic opioid treatment. We examined the analgesic effect of topically applied morphine in a randomized, double blind, cross over study in patients with painful leg ulcers. Significant reduction of pain was obtained after application of both morphine and placebo gel. Morphine reduced pain more than placebo but the difference was not statistically significant. However, morphine could reduce pain considerably more than placebo in those cases where VAS (Visual analog scale) was higher initially.Another issue with opioid therapy is the substantial individual variability in response to opioids including morphine and tramadol. We investigated the significance of UGT2B7, CYP2D6, OPRM1 and ABCB1 polymorphisms for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of morphine and tramadol. We showed that genetic variants in CYP2D6 and UGT2B7 have an important role in the metabolism of tramadol and morphine respectively. While the role of SNPs in ABCB1 remained unclear, genetic variants in OPRM1 gene were correlated with the required dose of morphine. Taken together, these findings suggest that genotypes should be taken into consideration when interpreting clinical pharmacology and forensic toxicology results.Opioids, besides their analgesic properties, have other pharmacological effects including effects on immune system. We evaluated potential differences between commonly used opiates with regard to their effect on the immune system. We found an inhibition of cytokine release, in the order of potency as follows: tramadol > ketobemidone >morphine >fentanyl. All opioids with the exception of fentanyl were capable of inhibiting production of mRNAs for TNF-alpha and IL-8. Further studies are needed to understand the clinical implications of the observed immunosuppressive effects of opioids and to improve opioid treatment strategies in patients with cancer.Here, we have found that individual genotype matters and affects the individual response. Further research is warranted to tailor individualized treatment. Personalized medicine has increased in importance and will hopefully in the near future become standard procedure to improve and predict the outcome of treatment by opioids.
4.	Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth : The Gothic Anthropocene 2022 Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract What can the Gothic teach us about our current geological era? More than just spooky, moonlit castles and morbid graveyards, the Gothic represents a vibrant, emergent perspective on the Anthropocene. In this volume, more than a dozen scholars move beyond longstanding perspectives on the Anthropocene—such as science fiction and apocalyptic narratives—to show that the Gothic offers a unique (and dark) interpretation of events like climate change, diminished ecosystems, and mass extinction.Embracing pop cultural phenomena like True Detective, Jaws, and Twin Peaks, as well as topics from the New Weird and prehistoric shark fiction to ruin porn and the “monstroscene,” Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth demonstrates the continuing vitality of the Gothic while opening important new paths of inquiry. These essays map a genealogy of the Gothic while providing fresh perspectives on the ongoing climate chaos, the North/South divide, issues of racialization, dark ecology, questions surrounding environmental justice, and much more.

(författare) Decolonising the COVID-19 pandemic : On Being in this Together 2021 Ingår i: Approaching Religion. - : Approaching Religion. - 1799-3121. ; 11:2, s. 115-131 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract At its inception, the COVID-19 pandemic was described as something inherently new, capable of crossing and erasing the economic, racial, gendered, and religious divides that stratify societies around the world. However, the ongoing pandemic is not new or egalitarian, but fuelled by, and fuelling, crises already under way on a global scale. In this article we examine on the one hand the relationship between the pandemic and still-active formations of racialised and gendered power, and on the other the pandemic's inextricability from a dispersed and uneven planetary emergency. As the environmental historian Jason W. Moore notes, this emergency disproportionately affects ‘women, people of colour and (neo)colonial populations’ (2019: 54), and the effects of COVID-19 are similarly unevenly allocated.

(författare) A History of Animal Horror Cinema 2015 Ingår i: Animal Horror Cinema. - London : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9781137496386 ; , s. 19-36 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract This chapter outlines the history of Animal Horror Cinema and highlights important periods and discursive developments within the genre. The chapter also discusses this type of cinema in relation to other kinds of horror films and observes that the focus on the relation between animality and humanity makes films like Jaws (1975), The Birds (1963) and Cujo (1983) different in theoretically significant ways from supernatural horror narratives and from ‘eco-horror’ films. Economic and technical restrictions often mean that animal horror films are not realist in a strict sense. The size of animals is often exaggerated and they are given human traits. Even so, human characters’ encounters with animals in animal horror cinema is more ‘real’ than the kind of encounters with the invisible, supernatural forces from beyond the realm of reality that have dominated the history of horror cinema.

(författare) Introduction 2015 Ingår i: Animal Horror Cinema. - Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9781137496386 ; , s. 1-18 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract The introduction to this volume is intended as a tool for future study of Animal Horror Cinema. It first defines this type of Cinema as films that describe how a particular animal or an animal species commit a transgression against humanity and then recounts the punishment the animal must suffer as a consequence. The introductory chapter then discusses how Animal Horror Cinema both cements and complicates the basic conceptual separation of the human and non-human animal and how it raises crucial questions concerning human and animal ethics and the Anthropocene; the present era when humanity itself has become a destructive geological force. This chapter also discusses how the study of Animal Horror Cinema frequently explores matters of colonialism and postcolonialism, and how the genre interrogates gender and sexuality through the animal.

9.	Grgic, Ana, et al. (författare) Special issue introduction : representation of diasporic food cultures 2024 Ingår i: Food, Culture, and Society. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1552-8014 .- 1751-7443. ; 27:2, s. 293-296 Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Diasporic food cultures enter dominant societies through a variety of manners and spaces, in homes, at food fairs, restaurants, through cookbooks, in supermarkets, but also in visual media. This special section investigates how the representations of diasporic food cultures in popular television and film mediate a variety of food traditions which negotiate and challenge dominant societal assumptions about the present, the past and the future of food and eating, and their complex relationships to race, class, gender, identity and the environment. The contributions to the issue note how the meeting of various diasporic culinary traditions and the often already transcultural host food traditions marks the start of new, feminist, decolonial food cultures, identities and futures, which raise critical questions about our food culture. This investigation of the representation of diasporic food cultures not only reveals the continuing transmutation of food cultures but more importantly the transformation of culture as such, within an increasingly polarized, uneven and fortified world where the dominant food system contributes to a social and ecological breakdown.
10.	Holmgren Troy, Maria, 1962- (författare) Nordic Gothic 2020 Bok (refereegranskat)abstract Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.
11.	Holtorf, Cornelius, 1968-, et al. (författare) Making Sense of Virtual Heritage : How Immersive Fitness Evokes a Past that Suits the Present 2022 Ingår i: Virtual Interiorities. - : ETC Press. - 9781387504978 ; , s. 77-98 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper focuses on the sensory experiences and the socio-cultural and socio-political contexts of digitally generated cultural heritage. As a case study, we use Les Mills' "The Trip", an immersive and multi-modal fitness regime where participants ride stationary bicycles in front of a large, domed screen where a winding road through a computer-generated hilly landscape is projected as a motivational aid. While these landscapes are imaginary and unrealistic, many reference various stereotypical cultural heritages so that participants ride through alleys of Greek statues, around futuristic Egyptian pyramids, or through a pirate ship at the bottom of the ocean. In the article, we consider the nature of this invented heritage at the interface of tangible and intangible heritage, the way it appeals to people emotionally and sensorially, and the social, physical, cultural and political consequences and implications of such digital heritage “trips”. The authors have different disciplinary backgrounds and interests which will inform the joint discussion: archaeology/heritage studies and literary and visual culture/decolonisation. On the one hand, we see a need to study the ethics and politics of the idealising and stereotypical representations of the past that are being used. On the other hand, there are also important lessons to be learned about heritage aesthetics, bodily perceptions of heritage and its relation to self, the creation of pastness, consequences for quality of (real) life and well-being both within the bounded and physical space of the fitness locale and outside it. The paper argues that virtual experiences of (future) past are no less significant or important than experiences IRL, especially as they may overlap with each other and are ultimately difficult to distinguish, both in terms of the experience they provide and in terms of their consequences in society.
12.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Alligators in the Living Room : Terror and Horror in the Capitalocene 2021 Ingår i: Haunted Nature Entanglements of the Human and the Nonhuman. - London : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783030818685 - 9783030818692 ; , s. 115-134 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract Because the violence that accompanies climate change has not yet drowned cities or created lasting destruction in the Global North, it looms in this region as a dark, yet still largely unrealized, Gothic prophesy. By contrast, poor communities in the Global South have long experienced the climate crisis as an immanent and palpable horror that destroys lives and communities. This chapter explores how Gothic horror disturbs this division by describing how the crisis brings horror also to privileged people in the Global North. Through a reading of the film Crawl (2019), the chapter shows how Gothic casts the Anthropocene as an immanent horror that touches all social strata, thus making it possible to imagine continued climate change as having a universally detrimental impact.
13.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) American Empire and Biological Apocalypse 2012 Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract While writing from two very different historical and political vantage points, Niall Ferguson and Julian Go have both suggested that US society appears to be facing many of the same financial and geo-political problems that Britain did a century ago. From this perspective, it is interesting to note that contemporary American popular culture often negotiates many of the concerns that structured British Imperial culture. One such concern is the risk of degeneration and the possibility of a biological apocalypse. During the late-Victorian period, Charles Darwin’s cousin Fredric Galton suggested that, surrounded by the many comforts of modern society, the British subject may circumvent the evolutionary process. In addition, the confrontation with non-European peoples during colonisation was frequently imagined as a racial struggle. Thus, the decline of the British Empire could be cast as an evolutionary event. As Daniel Pick has observed, these ideas had a profound impact on the British culture and society of the nineteenth century and the novel of the period became increasingly obsessed with the notion of biological apocalypse. Pointing to crucial political and cultural parallels between Victorian British society and the present-day US, this paper discusses how contemporary American popular culture dramatizes the possibility of a biological global crisis. In Hollywood blockbusters such as Outbreak (1995), Resident Evil (2002-2010) and Contagion (2011) aggressive viral infections threaten to wipe out modern civilisation. In the Alien (1979-2007) and Species (1995-2004) series, humans face new, primitive and competitive species that threaten to crowd them out in the universal struggle for survival. In Justin Cronin’s best selling novel The Passage (2010) a South American virus is manipulated by the military, turning the infected humans into primitive and supremely violent agents of the apocalypse. This paper makes the observation that these narratives, just like their British counterparts, must be understood in relation to modernity and empire. These films and novels biologize geopolitical relations in general and the popular notion that America is in decline in particular. Furthermore, the viral invasion that popular culture imagines often has its origin in America’s increasingly competitive backyards China and South America. In this way, popular culture taps into what Stephen B. Arata has termed the “anxiety of reverse colonisation” and suggests that America must be prepared to quickly mobilize the military and medical resources of modernity to counter the threat from the primitive Other and to prevent degeneration of its own species. However, some narratives also make room for a concurrent counter discourse that describes the biological apocalypse as a having been engineered by the market state and/or the military-industrial complex.
14.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) American Military Imperial Horror 2017 Ingår i: Imperial Cultures of the United States, University of Warwick, 5 May 2017. Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract In Rule of Darkness: British Literature and Imperialism, 1830–1914 (1988), Patrick Brantlinger influentially suggests that one of the most important vehicles of British imperialism before WWI was the Imperial Gothic. This subgenre made extensive use of gothic tropes to tell extrovert stories of British colonial expansion, but also rehearsed xenophobic narratives of reverse invasion of the empire. Thus, the Oriental Other of the British novel was given the monstrous form of vampire or African warlock, heightening the sense of urgency and anxiety that arguably saturated the British Empire at its zenith.Building on Julian Go’s analysis in Patterns of Empire (2011) of the US as ‘an aging empire watching dreadfully as rivals threaten to take their slice of the pie’ (167), and on my own work in The American Imperial Gothic (2014), this paper positions US horror as responding to a historical moment very similar to that which produced the British Imperial Gothic. From this vantage point, the paper explores one of the most recent US horror genres termed military horror. This genre combines supernatural horror stories with a paradigm established by documentary military narratives such as Black Hawk Down (1999), Lone Survivor (2006), No Easy Day (2012), and American Sniper (2012), texts that celebrate the exploits of Special Forces in the Middle East and other parts of the world. This combination results in narratives such as SEAL TEAM 666 (2012), a novel in which various challenges to US global hegemony – including Islamic fundamentalism and Chinese imperialism – take monstrous and supernatural forms that must then be combatted by US Special Forces teams.The military horror genre can thus be viewed as the most recent evolution of a tradition of imperial Anglo writing that goes back to the turn of the previous century. However, the paper also notes crucial differences between the British imperial gothic and US imperial horror in that the ending of the latter genre is rarely the final collapse of the hostile entity and a return to a peaceful, democratic world order. Rather, military imperial horror takes place in a continuous, clandestine and perpetual global war between the US and various apocalyptic forces of darkness. This metaphorical context further blurs political relationships already obscured in the documentary military narrative. At the same time, it encourages an understanding of military violence as the only meaningful form of political agency.
15.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Black Englishness and the Concurrent Voices of Richard Marsh in The Surprising Husband 2013 Ingår i: English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920. - 0013-8339 .- 1559-2715. ; 56:3, s. 275-291 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract A concern that virtually all late-Victorian and early-Edwardian writers had to negotiate, explicitly or implicitly, is the nature of Englishness. In the face of intense colonisation, sexual anarchy and class upheaval, the turn-of-the-century writer is often assumed to either resist all challenges to sexual, racial or social hybridity by insisting that Englishness is firmly male, white and upper-middle-class or allow a certain, often gothic or colonial, manipulation of this category. For example, in the novels of Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad there is a sense that Englishness can be either benevolently adapted or catastrophically altered through its confrontation with the native. Similarly, in the writing of Oscar Wilde or Virginia Woolf, English sexual identity is directly or furtively dislocated, allowing a limited transformation of the category of Englishness. From this perspective, it is tempting to view British writers as either mapping hybridity or conservatively resisting all forms of cultural transformation. However, as this article seeks to demonstrate through a reading of Richard Marsh's provocative novel The Surprising Husband (1908), some British writers negotiated these two positions without resolving either.
16.	Höglund, Johan, 1967-, et al. (författare) Black Hawk-Down : Adaptation and the Military-Entertainment Complex 2017 Ingår i: Culture Unbound. - : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 2000-1525. ; 9:3, s. 365-389 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This article investigates the non-fiction book Black Hawk Down (1999) by Mark Bowden, Black Hawk Down the movie (2001) directed by Ridley Scott, and the computer game Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (2003). The article suggests that while the movie and the game must be studied as adaptations of the first text, the tools developed by adaptation studies, and that are typically used to study the transfer of narratives from one media form to another, do not suffice to fully describe the ways in which these narratives change between iterations. To provide a more complete account of these adaptations, the article therefore also considers the shifting political climate of the 9/11 era, the expectations from different audiences and industries, and, in particular, the role that what James Der Derian has termed the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network (MIME-Net) plays in the production of narrative. The article thus investigates how a specific political climate and MIME-Net help to produce certain adaptations. Based on this investigation, the article argues that MIME-Net plays a very important role in the adaptation of the Black Hawk Down story by directing attention away from historical specificity and nuance, towards the spectacle of war. Thus, in Black Hawk Down the movie and in Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, authenticity is understood as residing in the spectacular rendering of carnage rather than in historical facts. The article concludes that scholarly investigations of the adaptation of military narratives should combine traditional adaptation studies tools with theory and method that highlight the role that politics and complexes such as MIME-Net play within the culture industry.

Disillusioned with mainstream politics, Mosley founded the authoritarian New Party and after a visit to Mussolini’s Italy in 1932, he re-arranged this political platform into the British Union of Fascists (BUF). BUF united a number of already existing fascist organisations and, in the years that led up to the war, it became the foremost voice of British extreme right politics, and as a visible presence on the streets of London.

Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Catastrophic Transculturation in Dracula, The Strain and The Historian 2012 Ingår i: Transnational Literature. - 1836-4845. ; 5:1 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The article notes that what Paul Brantlinger has referred to as the Imperial Gothic insists that the encounter between cultures results not in a transcultural merger, but in an apocalyptic struggle for survival. As this struggle is often tied to past and present-day imperial sentiment, the article suggests that both late-Victorian and contemporary fiction can effectively be discussed with the help of Marie Louise Pratt’s concept transculturation. Through a reading of three vampire narratives, Stokers’s Dracula (1897), Del Toro and Hogan’s The Strain (2009) and Kostova’s The Historian (2005), the article demonstrates how past and present imperial gothic texts describe the derailment of European modernity and insists that cultural encounter produce monstrous hybrids that threaten to cause an ontological and/or epistemological apocalypse. In this way, the cultural encounter that these gothic novels imagine results in catastrophic transculturation and the article argues that this is a common way of understanding the transnational meeting in American neo-imperial discourse.
21.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Cell, Stephen King and the Imperial Gothic 2015 Ingår i: Gothic Studies. - : Manchester University Press. - 1362-7937 .- 2050-456X. ; 17:2, s. 69-87 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This essay argues that Stephen King's 2006 novel Cell explores the age of terror with the aid of two concurrent Gothic discourses. The first such discourse belongs to the tradition that Patrick Brantlinger has termed Imperial Gothic. As such, it imagines with the War on Terror that the threat that the (Gothic) Other constitutes is most usefully managed with the help of massive, military violence. The other, and more traditional, Gothic discourse radically imagines such violence as instead a War of Terror. The essay then argues that Cell does not attempt to reconcile these opposed positions to terror. Instead, the novel employs the two Gothic discourses to describe the epistemological rift that terror inevitably creates.
22.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Censorship, the US Department of Defense and the Popular War Film 2018 Ingår i: La fabrique des imaginaires : Censure contre-discours et société technicienne. Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract In Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network (2001) James Der Derian argues that, at least since the first Gulf War in 1990-1, the US Department of Defense has invested heavily in the mediation of war as a clinical and virtuous exercise with minimum civilian casualties. Unlike during the much criticised Vietnam War, media is kept outside the zones of battle as much as possible and depend on the DoD’s own media outlets for information. In addition to controlling news media’s reports from war zones, the DoD also seeks to actively produce the way that the entertainment industry – in particular Hollywood cinema, television shows, and computer games – represent the armed forces. As David L Robb describes in Operation Hollywood: How the Pentagon Shapes and Censors the Movies (2004), the DoD regularly funds block buster film. In exchange for extras, advisors, guns, helicopters and other tools of war, the DoD has been allowed to edit and censor film scripts. As Der Derian shows, the DoD has demanded that directors keep US military operations “virtuous” and movie directors thus incise, in particular, civilian carnage, producing an image of war as the surgical obliteration of enemy forces. Movies that have asked for DoD funding but refused to toe this line have not been given this funding. Thus, Ford Francis Coppola did not receive funding for Apocalypse Now (19XX), while Jerry Bruckheimer’s Top Gun (1986) were made with considerable aid from the DoD.However, this formula begins to change with the film Black Hawk Down (2001), a film that shows extensive bloodletting, and civilian death but still received funding. In recent years, DoD funded films such as Zero Dark Thirty (2014) and American Sniper (2016) show American soldiers and military personnel torturing civilians and shooting children. This paper explores this dramatic shift in the censorship of the visual representation of violence and considers what is still untold by DoD funded cinema.Der Derian, James.

The focus of the article is the disagreement within eco-socialist and postcolonial scholarship on the future of capitalism and on how global relations will change in a world transformed by the climate crisis. These questions are approached via Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker trilogy (2010–17) which depicts how global social and economic relations have been transformed in a world altered by the climate crisis. The article argues that while these novels describe the future world as still capitalist and sharply class divided, and (illegal) migration as the only escape from precarity, they also imagine a profound shift in how wealth is distributed.

This, the article notes, is a systemic challenge, but also a profoundly cultural issue as the way that people eat is deeply connected to questions of identity and belonging. The article enters this field of inquiry by studying how the awareness that current food systems are unsustainable is being mediatized and narrated in popular fiction and film. This media often depicts humans in worlds where the current food system has collapsed, forcing also people in the Global North to move or otherwise adapt to a changing climate, and, in the process, to profoundly alter the way they eat. The article discusses two visual texts: Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer (2013), and John Hillcoat’s The Road (2009). The analysis of these texts shows that they employ food, eating and migration to make life in a future transformed by climate change comprehensible to the reader. The article also investigates how the fiction studied connects food and eating to the existing world-system and thus to the material history that is driving the climate crisis.
26.	Höglund, Johan, Professor, 1967- (författare) Concurrences and the Planetary Emergency : Ursula K. Le Guin in the Capitalocene 2024 Ingår i: History and Speculative Fiction. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783031422348 - 9783031422355 ; , s. 29-44 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract Ursula Le Guin’s prescient 1971 novel The Lathe of Heaven envisions a multitude of utopian or dystopian futures made real by dreams its protagonist is made to have by a manipulating psychologist. The chapter analyzes these layered futures with the help of Gunlög Fur’s concept concurrences (2017) and Kyle Whyte’s observation that Western speculative writing frequently leaves humanity in dystopian and postapocalyptic futures “that erase Indigenous peoples’ perspectives” (2017, 225). The chapter argues that LeGuin’s vision resists the simplistic and single dystopian vision common in normative climate narratives while at the same time centering the ongoing history of colonialism. The ending of the novel thus envisions a radically multifaceted, concurrent, and imperfect future lived in a world made up as much of hope as of ruins.
27.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Consuming the Tropics : The Tropical Zombie Re-eviscerated in Dead Island 2016 Ingår i: Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture. - Oxon : Routledge. - 9781138915862 - 9781317425779 ; , s. 87-102 Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract This article investigates the computer game Dead Island as a game about tourism in the tropics but also as a virtual tourism space in itself. The analysis makes use of John Urry’s influential observation that places are intimately related to consumption. Urry proposes that tourist sites in particular are understood as places that can be consumed in various ways. At the same time, they are also places that can consume you. With Urry’s thesis in mind, it can be argued that Dead Island invites the gamer to consume the tropics as a feminine, primitive, eroticized and violent space, as a territory that must be consumed or it will consume you. This article thus argues that the gamer consumes the tropics partly through the exercise of an overtly male and colonial gaze and partly through consumptive violence. This suggests that the game operates as an updated form of what Patrick Brantlinger has termed Imperial Gothic. However, this article further argues that the game never gets comfortable with the sexual and racist politics it arguably endorses. While the tropical space and the bodies that inhabit it allow the gamer to engage in a form of virtual gothic colonialism, the complex narrative attempts to sabotage the Manichean categories that seemingly inform the game’s virtual geography and the semiotics of violence on which the game relies.
28.	Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Digital Humanities and Games Research Across the Disciplines 2016 Ingår i: International Symposium on Digital Humanities. - Växjö : Linnaeus University. ; , s. 35-36 Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract The effect of violent computer games on individuals and on society has been the object of a great number of studies reaching across different disciplines, including traditional Humanities, International Relations Studies, and Psychology. Unfortunately, studies conducted within one discipline pay very limited attention to research conducted in other fields. Thus, important research data is rarely shared. The reasons for this lack of cross-disciplinary consideration can be attributed to many different factors. Humanities oriented research is often published in journals other than IR studies, or psychological studies. The various fields engaged in this type of research also employ different methodologies that highlight different aspect while obscuring others. Finally, the research is funded by different agencies, with different agendas. This presentation first describes the current situation through studies belonging to the Humanities, International Relations Studies and Psychology. These studies share an interest in the computer game genre commonly known as the First Person Shooter (FPS), a violent game genre where the gamer controls an armed avatar and observes the game world through a first-person perspective. The presentation discusses how the general research context (funding body, audience, problem formulation), the theoretical framework, and the methodologies of the different studies inform the research. Here, it is noted that Humanities research is often state-sponsored and conducted within Humanities departments or by one of few DH research centres that exist globally. Since the late 1990s, Humanities research has either focussed on discussing how participatory digital games function differently from other forms of culture such as literature or film (see Juul 2005, Malliet 2007), or it has conducted an often Foucauldian or Baudrillardian interrogation of the games, discussing them as deeply ideological spaces (Wark 2007). The methodological tools employed by this research are virtually always qualitative and hermeneutic. International Relations research also comes out of state-sponsored or private universities, but is sometimes connected to organisations such as the Institute of World Politics. Following the cultural turn of IR during the last two decades (Van Veeren 2009), this research has become increasingly attentive to the way that military games engage with global politics and future military conflict. The focus of game studies conducted within the confines of IR studies is thus the way in which the FPS imagines future global conflict. This research is often qualitative and does discuss the narratives and discourses of the games, but it also employs interviews and quantitative methods to investigate how gamers’s ideas about global relations are affected by the games (Zamaróczy 2016). Finally, psychological research into violent games comes from a large number of funding bodies, from state-run universities to private foundations, the health care sector, and the US Department of Defence (DoD) (Höglund 2008). The research produced by these various agencies focuses primarily on to what extent violent games produce violent behaviour or not (Anderson et al., 2002), but it also includes studies on how games can train soldiers before combat or help treat veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (Rizzo et al 2006). The link between violent computer games and aggressive behaviour is notoriously difficult to study in laboratory experiments, and a few alternative ways of assessing the relationship have been suggested (Sauer and Nova 2015). Even so, this research is firmly quantitative and often disregards the qualitative aspect.The question that the presentation will address in relation to these studies is how these different fields may benefit from cross-disciplinary exchange. The presentation suggests that by considering results gained in psychological studies, and by making some use of the quantitative and laboratory methods common in this discipline, the humanities or IR researcher would be in a considerably better position to discuss the effect that the FPS has on the individual. In other words, broadening the disciplinary perspective would make it possible to consider not only the ideological, political and aesthetic content of the material, but also how gamers actually respond to the material. Similarly, humanities and IR related research could help researchers working in the field of psychology to ask more relevant and precise questions that take into consideration the qualitative content of a particular game before examining its effects in a laboratory setting. In other words, by considering humanities and IR research, the simple question if games encourage aggression in gamers may be rephrased into the more complex question if games encourage aggression against particular groups in society, or support state aggression against certain nationalities. This discussion may be of interest to scholars conducting research on digital games, but it may also be of general interest to Digital Humanities since the formation of games research takes place in the crossroads of several different disciplines.

Roy Ward Baker’s (1916–2010) Hammer Horror production Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde is one of many to connect J. R. Stevenson’s classic story with Jack the Ripper. Stevenson’s novella was published in 1886, two years before the first known ripper murder, and the action of the original story is mostly Soho. However, the notoriety of the Whitechapel murders made the East End the most resonant location for the many remakes and adaptations that followed. Baker’s film moves between a house seemingly on the border between respectable London and a perennially foggy and labyrinthine Whitechapel where all women are young prostitutes, all men rowdy, working class drinkers and where murdered women can be dissected in the alleyways without too much notice. Dr Jekyll, played by Ralph Bates in distinctly Wildean coiffure, enters this warren to harvest the “female hormones” that he hopes to distill into an “elixir of life”. It remains unclear in the film if the elixir confers immortality, but it does transform Dr Jekyll into a dark and voluptuous Miss Hyde played by Martine Beswick. Jekyll’s female persona becomes increasingly dominant, forcing her male double to continue the Whitechapel killings by which the hormones to the elixir are procured, and committing the murders herself when needed.

Thus, pandemic horror cinema enables an eloquent conversation on the relation between the imagined diseases of the Other and modernity as an engine of middle-class preservation. The essay traces the tradition of the gothic and horror pandemic narrative from its nineteenth-century origins to the present moment in time when it has proliferated into a number of different nations, languages and ideological positions. The article then explores these positions through a discussion of the films Dawn of the Dead (2004), I am Legend (2007), World War Z (2013), and Train to Busan (2016). Focussing on religion, race, ethnicity, and class, the essay describes how the pandemic horror cinema helps project different understandings of self and Other through the image of violent pandemic disease.

Höglund, Johan, 1967- (författare) Eating in the Anthropocene : Future Climate Migration and Food in Cinema 2019 Ingår i: Ninth International Conference on Food Studies. - Kaohsiung City : National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism. Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Anthropogenic climate change, causing rising sea levels and droughts, has already provoked migration within and across nations, and this process will increase in the years to come (Rigaud 2018). Climate migration is triggered by a lack of food, but it also produces the diasporic food traditions, and, as described in EAT (2019), a need for more sustainable ways of eating. Although studies have examined the effect of previous climate migration (McLeman 2006), it is difficult to predict how the migration of food traditions, and new types of food and eating will impact human social organisation and behaviour. Literature and film can contribute usefully to this discussion by imagining human societies that have been forced to adapt to these pressures. Building on Ghosh’s (2016) observation that realist fiction struggles to depict future climate change, this paper explores how speculative fiction film imagines food and eating in diasporic, migrant futures. The paper specifically considers Snowpiercer (2013) and Mortal Engines (2018) that portray distant futures of constant migration where new forms of eating have developed. The dystopian techno-futures that these films visualise enable them to confront audiences with radical shifts in the way that food is manufactured, ritualized and consumed.

The first such strand is what Brantlinger and Höglund have termed imperial gothic. Here, the pandemic is strongly associated with non-normative entities (women, the subaltern, the precariat, the racialized or colonized, the queer, the disabled) that seem to challenge the maintenance of the neoliberal modernity on which Anglo/Euro empire rests. The resolution to the pandemic crisis envisioned by these narratives is typically violent and science related and includes a wide reinforcement of normative notions of sex, religion, sexuality, and race.The second narrative strand disturbs precisely this normative order via feminist, queer, post-, and decolonial depictions of pandemic spread. The chapter observes how such narratives are also often violent, but how the resolution to the crisis is not to yield to the might and normative notions of Anglo/Euro modernity. Instead, the texts studied in the section show humans either trying to escape to spaces outside of the reach of this modernity, or engaging in a direct and revolutionary challenge to the systems and values that organize and fuel it. The final narrative strand assumes a less anthropocentric perspective and turns to the pandemic agent not simply as the “single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on the planet”, in the often-cited words of Nobel laurate Joshua Lederberg, but as a legitimate species tasked with maintaining a planetary biodiversity to which “man” now appears as the greatest menace. The analysis here draws from Haraway and Kirksey to show how the resolutions imagined by these texts go beyond the systemic shifts depicted by the second narrative strand, to instead stress the immanent need to recognize how humans are multispecies ecosystems folded into other systems. This recognition typically does not lead to violent closures, but rather by the abandonment, sometimes even the extinction, of the category of “man”.

Noting a number of geopolitical, economical and cultural similarities between late nineteenth-century Britain and the US at the turn of the millennium, this chapter observes that a dominant strand of American Gothic in the early twenty-first century is in fact effectively imperial. The chapter then discusses the interplay between what can thus be termed an ‘American Imperial Gothic’ and the post-9/11 period, paying particular attention to the ideological and affective work that Gothic performs. Located at the intersection between postcolonial and decolonial studies, and international relations and security studies, the chapter furthermore explores how a union of various entertainment corporations and government institutions is involved in the production and dissemination of often deeply reactionary Gothic texts. These rehearse racists and sexist tropes central to the neocolonial project, but also reveal how the anxieties always tied to vast imperial and capitalist projects rise to the surface during moments of sudden upheaval and transformation.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Through a study of British historical writing during the last decades of the nineteenth century, and of US historical and political writing after the 9/11 terror attacks, this paper proposes that Empire tends to become visible to the imperial metropolis in moments of imperial crisis. While Empire is always apparent to the colonized, it appears in the metropolis primarily as a resource described through economic language, and it is not necessarily made visible as a global political institution. When Empire is threatened, however, it does become visible as something also political and historical. It is when the barbarians are understood to be standing at the door, that Empire becomes so important that the metropole begins to theorize it. In doing so, nostalgia becomes an important tool to Empire, a plea to the citizens of the metropole to imagine the past of the Empire as idyllic, and to think of themselves as deeply vested in this idyllic past. Such an emotional engagement with an imagined past is useful, the paper concludes, if a society is to send their young men and women to war, to forgo civil liberties, and to accept the dismantling of welfare structures.

This should be attributed not only to the general reluctance by scholarship to look beyond Anglophone Gothic, but also to the widespread belief that the Nordic countries remained outside the nineteenth-century colonial project. Referring to several studies that show that the Nordic nations were, in fact, eager participants in the colonial project, the chapter then discusses a number of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Nordic Gothic texts, with a focus on the fiction of Peter Høeg, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir and Anders Fager, and on the Swedish-French television series Idjabeaivváš (Jour Polaire/Midnight Sun/Midnattssol 2016). These texts are used to argue that Nordic Gothic, sometimes directly and sometimes furtively, addresses colonial concerns and that this tradition shows the same ambivalence towards this colonial past and present as does international Gothic.

Influencing new trends in European, Asian and African filmmaking, these films carried on the tradition established by the Gothic novel, and yet they remain part of a largely neglected subject. B-Movie Gothic: International Perspectives examines the influence of Gothic B-movies on the cinematic traditions of the United States, Britain, Scandinavia, Spain, Turkey, Japan, Hong Kong and India, highlighting their transgressive, transnational and provocative nature. It shows how B-movie Gothic is a relentlessly creative form, filled with political tensions and moving from shocking conservatism to profound social critique.

More than just spooky, moonlit castles and morbid graveyards, the Gothic represents a vibrant, emergent perspective on the Anthropocene. In this volume, more than a dozen scholars move beyond longstanding perspectives on the Anthropocene—such as science fiction and apocalyptic narratives—to show that the Gothic offers a unique (and dark) interpretation of events like climate change, diminished ecosystems, and mass extinction.Embracing pop cultural phenomena like True Detective, Jaws, and Twin Peaks, as well as topics from the New Weird and prehistoric shark fiction to ruin porn and the “monstroscene,” Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth demonstrates the continuing vitality of the Gothic while opening important new paths of inquiry. These essays map a genealogy of the Gothic while providing fresh perspectives on the ongoing climate chaos, the North/South divide, issues of racialization, dark ecology, questions surrounding environmental justice, and much more.

Directed by Alexander Hall (1894–1968), Limehouse Blues was shot on the US West Coast and describes the collision between British working-class thugs and Chinese ambition in an exoticized and permanently foggy, yet “exciting” London East End. George Raft in yellowface stars as the half Chinese, half white American Harry Young, and Anna May Wong, one of the first Chinese American film stars, as the Chinese seductress Tu Tuan. The plot revolves around Young’s ambitions to take over the smuggling business from local entrepreneur Pug Talbot. The amoral Young has Talbot murdered, a move that also provides him with the opportunity to pursue Talbot’s beautiful stepdaughter Toni (Jean Parker). In an effort to win Toni’s heart, Young puts her up in his own house, relives her of her duties as spotter and pickpocket, and gives her money to shop for in the West End. During her visit to this notably sunnier part of London, Toni falls in love with square jawed Canadian pet-shop owner Eric Benton, setting the stage of the films central love triangle.

In the film, the young lady Esmeralda has been kidnapped by the villainous Sir Marmaduke Rakes. Allied with a Chinese Tong gang led by a man by the name of Hoo Flung, Rakes keeps Esmeralda prisoner in an opium den over which hangs the sign “Limhouse”.
