Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The conference Codex and Code: Aesthetics, Language and Politics in an Age of Digital Media (NorLit 2009)was held at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, August 6–9, 2009. The conference was organized by the Nordic Association for Comparative Literature (NorLit); the Department of Culture and Communication, Linköping University; the School of Computer Science and Communication, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH); the Department of Comparative Literature, Stockholm University; the Department of Culture and Communication, Södertörn University College; and the Department of Comparative Literature, Uppsala University. The aim of the conference was to develop the study of Comparative Literature through Nordic collaboration both in its own discipline and in Modern Language and Cultural studies. As the title for the conference suggests, the principal question for the conference was the challenge that the study of literature encounters in an age of digitalization and globalization. It was our aim to encourage discussion of how literary studies respond to the ongoing changes in media and technology, politics and economy. Many have argued that the Humanities currently are in a state of crisis. We believe that the discipline seldom has found itself in such an interesting and fruitful historical moment. Several of these questions have surfaced during earlier media system changes, in particular during Romanticism and Modernism, which provided the conference with an historical frame. The conference Codex and Code also addressed questions of authenticity and originality, identity and gender, literary genres and reading practices, media and materiality, culture and popular culture, language and history, world literature, work aesthetics, translations, and canon formation. The conference Codex and Code wanted to stimulate interdisciplinary scholarly research of the literary in a broad sense. The conference was open to scholars in Comparative Literature and in Classical and Modern Languages, Aesthetics, Media and Communication studies, Film and Theatre studies, Philosophy and adjacent disciplines. The conference was organized around a number of thematic sessions in which researchers and scholars presented and discussed papers. The conference has received generous financial support from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, Magnus Bergwall foundation, Granholms foundation, Linköping University, School of Computer Science and Communication, Royal Institute of Technology, Svenska litteratursällskapet; the Swedish Academy, Swedish Science Council, and Vitterhetsakademien.

Jag gav honom inte min kärlek : Om hövisk kärlek som kvinnlig strategi
- 2012
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- »Kvinnorna gör alldeles rätt när de förkastar de levnadsregler som införts i världen, eftersom det är männen som har skapat dem utan kvinnorna.«Michel de Montaigne (1533–92)Vid de medeltida franska hoven diktade och sjöng man om kärleken mellan man och kvinna, mellan riddaren och hans tillbedda. Särskilt besjöngs den omöjliga kärleken, som präglades av konvenansen och de stränga regler som styrde sällskapslivet i de högre samhällsskikten. Denna kulturyttring spred sig över Europa och kom först på artonhundratalet att få namnet »den höviska kärleken«.I sin rika studie presenterar Carin Franzén den höviska kärlekens kulturhistoriska uttrycksformer. Författarna Grevinnan av Dia, Christine de Pizan, Margareta av Navarra och Madame de Lafayette bildar utgångspunkter för undersökningen och ställs i relation till varandra.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The complex relationship between psychic structures, social norms, and aesthetic representations is a challenge for every analysis of the historical manifestations of human desire. Pangs of Love and Longing: Configurations of Desire in Premodern Literature sets out to provide a deeper understanding of this relation by an assessment of linguistic and artistic configurations of desire in European literature from Antiquity to the Early Modern period. The aim is to explore historic continuities and ruptures in attitudes towards sexuality, pleasures and bodies, as these are represented in a variety of cultural forms, in order to demonstrate the plurality of premodern desire – and, ultimately, to offer fresh perspectives on our present reality. The seventeen scholars participating in the anthology bring together theories and assessments from different areas of the Humanities – German, French, Italian, Spanish, English, and Comparative Literature, History of Ideas and of Art, Theology, Philosophy and Gender Studies. They are all engaged in cross-disciplinary activities at universities in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and they all participate in the Scandinavian network “Configurations of Desire in Premodern Literature” initiated in 2010.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This volume holds a number of contributions from a conference held at Stockholm University 2–4 September, 2010. It was a joint event held by the Department of Baltic Studies, Finnish and German in Stockholm and the European PhDnet Literary and Cultural Studies, initiated by Professor Ansgar Nünning, Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen, and supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).1 The aim of the conference was to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines, not only to investigate material or literary history and culture but also to bring theoretical aspects from different fields of research into play. For the last thirty years or so there have been lively theoretical discussions about the correlation between literature and history, as well as literature and culture. The “cultural turn,” “new historicism,” the “linguistic turn,” as well as other theoretical approaches and aspects have contributed to a growing interest in investigating early modern literature and culture anew. The conference brought together scholars to (re-)examine the importance of historical perspectives in literary studies, as well as to scrutinize the impact of “cultural studies” on early modern scholarship. The participants engaged in many lively discussions in connection with the paper presentations, and we want to express our deepest gratitude to all of those who made the conference a success and who contributed with thought-provoking remarks that in the end were worked into the papers in this volume. A selection of revised papers was submitted to the editorial board for peer review and the reworked articles appear here.
