- 2013
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- ”Det universella och det individuella” ger en inblick i det samtida litteraturvetenskapliga forskningsfältet. Ett trettiotal forskare medverkar i denna antologi vars innehåll spänner från det andliga till det sekulära, från medeltiden till det moderna, från det teoretiska till det biografiska och från det lokala till det globala. Perspektiven är svenska och nordiska så väl som internationella. Boken är en festskrift till Eva Hættner Aurelius, professor i litteraturvetenskap vid Lunds universitet. Skribenterna kommer från Sverige, Danmark och Tyskland där de under åren haft Eva Hættner Aurelius som inspirerande kollega, lärare, handledare och vän, och bidragen ansluter till frågor som hon under sin långa forskargärning har lyft fram: litteratur- och ämneshistoria, kvinnolitteraturhistoria, självbiografiskt skrivande.

Att se stjärnor på ljusa dagen : förvandling och försoning i August Strindbergs En blå bok
- 2009
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this thesis a pattern of coherence is explored in August Strindberg’s Zones of the Spirit (En blå bok) – a literary work consisting of a collection of short and quite diverse essays. It is argued that Strindberg’s pattern of thought has its base in a concept of transformation that characterizes his descriptions of nature and human life. In the introduction, the transformation process is tied to the concept of transmutation in alchemy, i.e. how matter is transmuted through different stages of purification into perfect gold. Connections are also made to the Christian notion of conversion, made manifest in the description of the stages of the meditation process. Finally the hypothesis is put forward that Strindberg writes in a cryptic manner when using alchemical symbolism. In the first two chapters the already known facts about Strindberg’s alchemical experience and his acquaintances with devotional literature are summed up. From chapter three on follows the analysis of Strindberg’s essays classified under the subtitles “The Transformationsof Nature”, “The Phenomena of Heaven” and “The Transformations of Man”. In the last chapter, “The Transformation of Poetry”, the fluid border between fiction and reality in Strindberg’s essays is explored.A comparative methodology is adopted in order to demonstrate the role of transformation, i.e. the texts in Zones of the Spirit are compared to alchemical ideas and to thoughts on conversion, found in literature on meditation. The study shows the role of the alchemical patterns of thought in Strindberg’s comprehension of different phenomena. For instance, applying the theme of transformation to Zones of Spirit lends explanation to Strindberg’s thoughts about reconciliation, but also to his thoughts about the process between life and death and whether there will be life after physical death.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Texten är ett bidrag till antologin En lundensisk litteraturhsitoria. Den handlar om hur Strindberg påverkade sina vänner i Lund och om vilken inverkan de hade på honom. Den utgår från ett fragment i Gröna Säcken, ett utkast till ett aldrig färdigställt drama, som fångar in stämningar och drömskt beskrivna platser från Strindbergs tid i Lund.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The article is about Strindberg's valutation of predecessors and contemporary authors and deals with how he values them – that is authors that might classify as Strindberg's "western canon". Strindberg´s esoteric worldview contained the belief that devine powers were reflected in art – as well as in nature and in life. But true art has, in Strindberg's view, not only a coneection with the devine but with eartly things as well. My question to Strindberg's opinions about fellow writer's art, is if he means that their writing can be judged by whether they produce continuity or discontinuity in the connections to the earthly world as well as to the devine.The aim is to look at what Strindberg sees as productive in the process of creating – what in his opinion is – true art. It's also about Strindberg's valutation of imagination – that in the esoteric tradition is seen to have a mediating function between art and reality. Do the writers Strindberg comments on have connections with the real world and/or the divine in their writing, or is the connection somehow broken? And what have these connections or broken connections to do with whether they (in Strindberg's opinion) succed or do not succed in their writing? Can connections or broken connections reflect how truthful they communicate?
