Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ethical and epistemological challenges accompanying representations of the past have been at the center of historiography at least since the days of Leopold von Ranke in the mid-nineteenth century. The artific eof representational forms, as well as the ideological entanglements of the position of enunciation, has always been in conflict with Ranke’s historio- graphical goal of telling the past as “it really was”. In the heyday of postmodernism and in the wake of the so-called linguistic turn, the epistemological and ethical impact of representational forms was widely debated. This paper uses two concepts presented during the postmodernist debates – Linda Hutcheon’s “historiographical metafiction” and Hayden White’s “practical past” – in a discussion of two graphic narratives about the Holocaust, Art Spiegelman’s canonical Maus. A Survivor’s Tale (1991) and Vi kommer snart hem igen (2018) by Jessica Bab Bonde and Peter Bergting. Adapting Hutcheon’s and White’s concepts to a posthumanist and media-ecological conceptuality, in which the worldmaking power of media is highlighted as a co-productive or sympoietic process, the paper “Picturing Pastness. Comics, Media Ecology and Memory in Maus and Vi kommer snart hem igen” shows how the past is not represented, but rather emerges from the embodied participation in the medium as memory technology.

Den autonome författaren ersätts av kollaborativ kreativitet
- 2018

In: Respons. - 2001-2292. ; :4

Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Tolkien dog 1973, men är i dag mer produktiv än någonsin. Den författarfunktion som är kopplad till hans namn är långtifrån unik. Digitaliseringen har skapat nya möjligheter för kollektiv kreativitet, som nu också innefattar läsarna. I stället för att förskräckas över franchise-litteraturens framväxt borde litteraturvetenskapen fråga sig vad den kan lära sig av en litteratur som ingår i ett system för reglering och återkoppling.

The Vortex of the Weird : Systemic Feedback and Environmental Individuation in the Media Ecology of Ito Junji´s Horror Comics
- 2018
-
In: Orientaliska Studier. - 0345-8997. ; :156, s. 151-175
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper briefly discusses a handful of comics by Ito Junji1 in relation to the genre of cosmic horror and the literary work of H. P. Lovecraft. My claim is that these comics — while they are perfectly accessible individually, and can be read, at least to some degree, as isolated works of art — also comprise a collective; a network of interconnected media objects organized in the form of a media ecology.
