Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary History
- 2020
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How did Nordic culture become associated with the fuzzy brand “cool”, as by default? In Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary History twenty-one scholars in collaboration question the seemingly natural fit between “Nordic” and “Cool” by investigating its variegated trajectories through literary history, from medieval legends to digital poetry. At the same time, the elasticity and polysemy of the word “cool” become a means to explore Nordic literary history afresh. It opens up a rich diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches within a regional framework and reveals hitherto unseen links between familiar and less familiar tracks and sites. Following diverse paths of “Nordic cool” in respect to – among other things – nature, survival, love, whiteness, style, economics, heroism and colonialism, this book challenges all-too-recognisable narratives, and underlines the sheer knowledge potential of literary historical research.

The attraction of Nordic freshness: Melancholy, eroticism, and health in “Vårvindar friska”

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In “The attraction of Nordic freshness: Melancholy, eroticism and health in ‘Vårvindar friska’”, Gunilla Hermansson traces the reception history of Swedish romantic poet Julia Nyberg’s popular poem “Vårvindar friska” (1828, Fresh spring breezes) from the time of its writing to the present day, through choir adaptations, railway workers’ songs, Hollywood film and YouTube videos. Hermansson suggests that the song’s combination of words and music has provided generations with a variant of “Nordic cool” that resonates with traditional images of Nordic ballads, nature and health, and is combined with erotic desire and melancholy in the notion of “freshness”.

Gender, Genre and Nation: Nineteenth-century Swedish Women Writers on Export

Ingår i: Translating the Literatures of Small European Nations / edited by Rajendra Chitnis, Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen, Rhian Atkin and Zoran Milutinović.. - Liverpool : Liverpool University Press. - 9781789620528 ; , s. 145-164
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chapter explores the transnational translation and reception of two Swedish women writers in the nineteenth-century: the romantic poet Julia Nyberg and the bestselling novelist Emilie Flygare-Carlén. As their exemples reveal, the opportunities for the translation and reception of smaller literatures changed in Euope and America during the century. This was due not only to developments in book markets and fluctuations in the political climate, but also to shifting expectation readerships and publication patterns relating to different combinations of genre, nationality and gender.
