Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article an example of class room work on Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita is used to discuss text selection in teacher education. My starting point is that text selection far too seldom becomes a matter of risk taking. What happens when you as a teacher deliberately choose texts that may provoke your students? What are the didactic and ethical possibilities and difficulties? My thesis is that the choice of provocative literature can function as a productive bridge between aesthetical and instrumental ways of reading. Texts which challenge core values of the school and “the myth about the goodness of literature” open up for dialogues about the what, how and why of literature instruction.

Litteratur, teori, terrorism : Anteckningar om "överskridandet" som tankefigur och problematik
- 2009

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper I chart some of the numerous connections between literature, theory and terrorism. Ever since the emergence of romanticism, the artistic ideal of transgression has played a prominent role in aesthetic theory and practice. In late modernity, however, the notion of transgression has become so common in all fields of culture, that its critical potential must be questioned. This complex issue is discussed here in relation to both literary and theoretical examples.

Lyckliga läsare : litteraturtidskriften som livsstilscoach

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In contemporary popular literary culture (Collins 2010), the circulation of representations of reading as a kind of lifestyle is increasing rapidly. I will highlight this phenomenon by way of a discussion of two new literary magazines, the Swedish Books & Dreams, and the British The Happy Reader. Here, reading becomes a lifestyle fully imbedded in contemporary ”designer culture” (Julier 2013), and is metonymically linked to, amongst other things, interior design, cooking, and travel. Which reading practices are encouraged in the magazines, and in what ways do they challenge (or confirm) traditional ideas of the forms, functions, and values of reading?
