A Children’s Literature? : Subversive Infantilisation in Contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian Fiction
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The past two decades of political and social disintegration in Bosnia and Herzegovina have given birth to literary counterreactions against hegemonic ways of imagining social life in the country. This thesis deals with a particular practice in BosnianHerzegovinian war and post-war literature, which uses infantile perspectives to critically address issues related to the socialist history of Bosnia as part of Yugoslavia, the war in the 1990s, and the socalled transitional post-war period. Drawing on an old Western literary tradition of using the child character to estrange conventional experiences of the world, the texts (by authors such as Miljenko Jergović, Nenad Veličković, Alma Lazarevska, Aleksandar Hemon, and Saša Stanišić) use the skewing and dislocating outlook associated with the infantile subject to expose and undermine perceivably problematic mechanisms in socialist, ethnonationalist, and Western liberal hegemonic discourses.In contrast to previous research on the topic, which has primarily focussed upon the narratological conditions for the infantile perspective, the focus here is on the subversive infantilisation of hegemonic discourse—that is, the very discursive act of representing and contesting dominant concepts, narratives, and representations. The texts are seen as transitional areas through which input from the social world passes and, in this process, is restructured and ultimately transformed into a configuration slightly or radically different from the original input. Theoretically inspired by discourse theory and ideas from New Historicism, the study isolates and investigates a set of techniques through which this reconfiguration occurs. Apart from discussing the use of the basic infantile perspective as such a technique, the study also considers how the notion of the infantile influences techniques of dichotomisation (the production of positional counterpoints), appropriation (the critical subsuming of dominant discourse), and blending (the mixing of dominant and childish imagery).The thesis also addresses the possible political implications of the strategy of subversive infantilisation. Here the approach is influenced by the political philosophy of Jacques Rancière, which enables an understanding of the aesthetic reconfiguration of how Bosnian social life is imagined as a way of constituting a new form of subjectivity that evades the excluding and oppressive framework of hegemonic discourse.

Cinema Between Media : An Intermediality Approach
- 2018
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cinema has always been a mixed medium, sharing its basic form with photography, borrowing heavily from performing arts and the novel, and combining medialities like painting and music. But although it could be argued that cinema is the intermedial art form par excellence, this insight has not affected film analysis as much as might be expected. Seeking to change our perceptions of cinema as a medium, Cinema Between Media draws on case studies of films like Zero Dark Thirty, Citizen Kane, Howl and Birdman to rethink cinema as an aesthetic form, and to raise new ideas about the practice of film analysis.

Ecology as pre-text ? : The paradoxical presence of ecological thematics in contemporary Scandinavian quality TV

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Scandinavian middle classes have been trained in feeling guilty and shameful about their social and economical privileges as well as these privileges in combinations with gender and/ or ethnicity. But "eco-guilt" or "eco-shame" has hardly been represented properly in cinema and TV series to this day. In this article, I want to offer a kind of prediction, rather than a description, of what may be an upcoming major theme in Scandinavian visual narratives: eco-guilt and eco-shame. I see signs of this in the recent TV series Jordskott from Sweden, the Norwegian Okkupert and the Danish Bedrag, but my point will be that the ecological issues here are used as a useful background or a dramaturgical starting point rather than as a major theme: as pretexts, in the double sense of the word. The use of ecology as pretext in Scandinavian TV series will be the subject of this article where I intend to focus on the way that the question of eco-guilt seems to be an alluring and tempting as well as repressed thematic, a fact that can be read out of the three series' paradoxical opening sequences.

Ginsberg’s Animating Typewriter : Mixing Senses and Media in Howl (2010)
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Epstein and Friedman’s 2010 movie Howl is partly a portrait of Allen Ginsberg, author of the poem ‘Howl’, and partly a documentary about the 1957 obscenity trial against his publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The film thus follows the ‘biopic’ trend of the last decades, where authors and their work are made the subject of feature films (Finding Neverland, Becoming Jane, Capote, Bright Star, etc.). This particular case, however, is more complicated and perhaps more demanding than the conventional biopic, because the movie also adapts Ginsberg’s Howl from poetry to animation film. Consequently, the beat poem exists in several medial forms in the film: it is represented through poetry reading as performance; it is read aloud as evidence in court; it is shown as written text; and, finally, it is transformed into the visual animation work of artist Eric Drooker. This article demonstrates how complex media relations in cinema, in this caseHowl, can be discussed using perspectives developed in intermedial theory. By way of a formal and sensorial analysis of selected scenes the article also discusses the views on the artist and artistic creation constructed in the film, in order to reframe the formal analysis as an ideological interpretation.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter is dedicated to Sophie Calle’s aesthetically rich and existentially moving art exhibition Rachel, Monique (2014), representing her mother’s death in 2006. Calle’s well-known dichotomies between private and public, random acts and aesthetic form are repeated in a new dichotomy between life and death, and the nuances in between these. The authors suggest a combination of some of the fundamental notions of intermedial studies combined with the aesthetic theory of Mikhail Bakhtin in order to grasp the exhibition and the experience of it.

Intermedialitet och litteraturanalys : [ ingår i Lärportalens modul Språk-, läs- och skrivutveckling (Läslyftet), Perspektiv på litteraturundervisning, Del 4: Intermedialitet och litteraturanalys, gymnasiet ]
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Syftet med denna text är att presentera en metod för analys ac skönlitterära texter i gymnasieskolan, inom Skolverkets satsning på Läslyftet. Denna metod, kallad intermedial analys, tar sin utgångspunkt i hur olika medier blir synliga i skönlitteraturen. Intermediala analyser har en hel del gemensamt med intertextuella analyser, det vill säga relationer mellan olika texter, men den intermediala kan vara enklare för eleverna att ta till sig.
