Changing Satire : Transformations and Continuities in Europe, 1600–1830
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This edited collection brings together literary scholars and art historians, and maps how satire became a less genre-driven and increasingly visual medium in the seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. Changing satire demonstrates how satire proliferated in various formats, and discusses a wide range of material from canonical authors like Swift to little known manuscript sources and prints. As the book emphasises, satire was a frame of reference for well-known authors and artists ranging from Milton to Bernini and Goya. It was moreover a broad European phenomenon: while the book focuses on English satire, it also considers France, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain, and discusses how satirical texts and artwork could move between countries and languages. In its wide sweep across time and formats, Changing satire brings out the importance that satire had as a transgressor of borders.

Forskare bland personal och elever : Forskningssamarbete om språk- och identitetsutvecklilng på en flerspråkig skola
- 2015
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Den här boken visar hur rektor, lärare och forskare i samverkan kan påverka attityder och föreställningar om språkliga resurser så att det leder till långsiktiga förändringar i skolverksamheten. Flera röster från intervjuer, inspelningar och skrivna texter som samlats i ett forskningsprojekt lyfts fram i boken som också innehåller forskarnas funderingar om att bedriva tvärvetenskaplig forskning i samarbete med personal och elever.Forskningen genomfördes på en F–6 skola med elever som till stor del har ett annat förstaspråk än svenska. Syftet med projektet var att studera och utveckla en undervisningsmiljö med särskild tonvikt på elevernas språk- och identitetsutveckling. Det fick det långa projektnamnet Interaktion för språk- och identitetsutveckling i flerspråkiga klassrum och finansierades i tre år av Nämnden för lärarutbildning vid Linnéuniversitetet.Forskare från tre discipliner: språkvetenskap, litteraturvetenskap och pedagogik arbetade i projektet både inom sitt eget vetenskapliga område och i samarbete med varandra. Projektet ledde till ett antal forskningspublikationer och presentationer på vetenskapliga konferenser, vilket beskrivs kortfattat i sista delen av boken. Merparten av boken rymmer i stället det samarbete som genererades på skolan och som berikade både skolverksamheten och forskningen.Boken vänder sig till alla som intresserar sig för skolutveckling – såväl skolledare och verksamma lärare som lärarstudenter, lärarutbildare och forskare.

"Can't seem to live without it somehow" : An interview with Eddy Harris

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In his books about Paris and Harlem and his travelogues about journeys in Africa and the American South, African-American author Eddy L. Harris explores what it means to be Black in the present moment in history. In this interview, he talks to Nicklas Hållén about his need to travel, the craft of travel writing and his plans for a movie project about a journey down the Mississippi River. The conversation revolves particularly around his travelogue Native Stranger: A Blackamerican's Journey into the Heart of Africa (1992) and the way in which identity conditions (and does not condition) travel and travel writing, and the functions that travel writing may have for the author as well as reader. The interview was conducted in the summer of 2013 at a café in the village of Pranzac in the Charente department of France, where Harris currently lives and works.

“You want people to see you in all your nuanced variety” : An Interview with Noo Saro-Wiwa
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Born in Nigeria in 1976, Noo Saro-Wiwa grew up in the UK. In 2008 she took a trip around the country of her birth. The journey resulted in her first book, Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria (Granta, 2012). It was selected as BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week and the Sunday Times Travel Book of the Year in 2012. In this interview with Nicklas Hållén and Janet Remmington, Saro-Wiwa covers a range of topics and reflections, including (trans)national identities, readership and reception, the legacy of her father, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and the craft of travel writing. The interview incorporates questions and answers from two occasions: a face-to-face meeting in London in May 2014 and an audience-facing discussion at the University of York's “African Intellectual Mobilities” colloquium in February 2015.

Travelling objects : modernity and materiality in British Colonial travel literature about Africa
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study examines the functions of objects in a selection of British colonial travel accounts about Africa. The works discussed were published between 1863 and 1908 and include travelogues by John Hanning Speke, Verney Lovett Cameron, Henry Morton Stanley, Mary Henrietta Kingsley, Ewart Scott Grogan, Mary Hall and Constance Larymore. The author argues that objects are deeply involved in the construction of pre-modern and modern spheres that the travelling subject moves between. The objects in the travel accounts are studied in relation to a contextual background of Victorian commodity and object culture, epitomised by the 1851 Great Exhibition and the birth of the modern anthropological museum. The four analysis chapters investigate the roles of objects in ethnographical and geographical writing, in ideological discussions about the transformative powers of colonial trade, and in narratives about the arrival of the book in the colonial periphery. As the analysis shows, however, objects tend not to behave as they are expected to do. Instead of marking temporal differences, descriptions of objects are typically unstable and riddled with contradictions and foreground the ambivalence that characterises colonial literature.

Ballads without Borders: Transnational Identities and Voices of Latino/a Migrant Experiences in El Corrido de Dante by Eduardo González Viaña
- 2011
-
Ingår i: American Studies in Scandinavia. - 0044-8060. ; 43:1, s. 55-72
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article attends to the representation of contemporary Latin American migrant experiences in the U.S. in El Corrido de Dante by Eduardo González Viaña. It focuses on voice and identity in relation to migration, space, place, home and belonging. Paraphrasing Spivak’s question “Can the subaltern speak?” from her homonymous essay, I discuss if the undocumented migrant subject has a voice of his/her own. I claim that the text can help us understand the experiences of undocumented Latin American migrants and the identitarian “in-betweenness” of the new generations born on the other side of the border. Furthermore, I argue that it is a polyphonic novel populated by “new” and “traditional” Latino/as, whose heterogeneous voices are enunciated from liminal or marginal positions. I find that González Viaña conveys a rich portrayal of the idiosyncratic reality of the Latin Americans in the U.S. with an original intertextual play that situates the text in the literary borderlands between classical Western works and Latin American and Latino/a popular and mass culture. However, the voice of the undocumented migrant is mediated by the complex multi-layered narrative structure, which makes the “truth” behind the story dissipate into hearsays, myths and legends.
