The Naturalist Novel and Transnational Form Figures of the World The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present. Series titles are available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/flashpoints. series editors: Ali Behdad (Comparative Literature and English, UCLA), Edi- tor Emeritus; Judith Butler (Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley), Editor Emerita; Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University); Edward Dimendberg (Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, and European Languages and Studies, UC Irvine), Founding Editor; Catherine Gallagher (English, UC Berkeley), Editor Emerita; Nouri Gana (Comparative Lit- erature and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA); Susan Gillman (Lit- erature, UC Santa Cruz), Coordinator; Jody Greene (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Richard Terdiman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz), Founding Editor.

To them I owe great thanks. Over the years I received inspiration and support for this project from Paul Anderer, Chris Bush, Sebastian Conrad, Vilashini Cooppan, Seth Fein, Shel Garon, Carol Gluck, Eric Hayot, June Howard, Sabu Kohso, Neil Levi, Janet Walker, and colleagues at the universities where I have taught. The editors of Northwestern University Press’s Flash- Points series, especially Susan Gillman and Richard Terdiman, and my editors at the Press, Trevor Perri and Gianna Mosser, saw the value of the project and ushered it into print. I received advice on the manuscript from David Bell, Héctor Hoyos, Youngju Ryu, Jiwon Shin, and Xiaobing Tang, and an anonymous reader for the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia. Jonathan Arac, Marshall Brown, Nina Cornyetz, Reginia Gagnier, and Keith Vin- cent gave guidance on early versions of several chapters. Members of panels and seminars at the American Comparative Literature Associ- ation, Asian Studies Conference Japan, Association for Asian Studies, Association for Japanese Literary Studies, Modern Language Associa- tion, and Society for Novel Studies provided feedback. Mélissa Gélinas, Paul Martin, and Mariane Stanev assisted with the research. ix x ❘ Acknowledgments Many people gave me opportunities to speak on the project. I thank Jonathan Abel, Susan Andrade, Geoffrey Baker, Caroline Eckhardt, Narve Fulsås, Manu Goswami and Kristin Ross, Indra Levy, Ted Mack, Numano Mitsuyoshi, Stefan Nygård and Johan Strang, Nancy Rutten- burg, Alan Tansman, Umemori Naoyuki, Stefan Vandamme and Blaise Wilfert, Tobias Werron, and Jonathan Zwicker. I would not have been able to complete this book without those who provided indispensable support to keep working, including Victoria de Grazia and Jacques Revel. I received institutional and financial support from Columbia University, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences So- ciales, the Freie Universität Berlin, the University of California at Berke- ley, the University of Michigan, Waseda University, and Yale University.

The book is also about how one might study the history of literary form on a large geographic scale. As naturalist fiction traveled the world, adopted in some places and rejected in others, it encountered new social conditions and other ways of writing about society. In the process its topics, themes, and literary form—methods of narration, techniques of description, figurative lan- guage, and so on— changed significantly and sometimes unexpectedly. It became not one but

  • Howwas Ibsen's Modern Drama Possible?
    Journal of World Literature 1 (2016) 449–465 brill.com/jwl How Was Ibsen’s Modern Drama Possible? Narve Fulsås University of Tromsø—The Arctic University of Norway [email protected] Tore Rem University of Oslo [email protected] Abstract One of the major renewals in the history of drama is Henrik Ibsen’s “modern tragedy” of the 1880s and 1890s. Since Ibsen’s own time, this renewal has been seen as an achievement accomplished in spite, rather than because, of Ibsen’s Norwegian and Scandinavian contexts of origin. His origins have consistently been associated with provinciality, backwardness and restrictions to be overcome, and his European “exile” has been seen as the great liberating turning point of his career. We will, on the contrary, argue that throughout his career Ibsen belonged to Scandinavian literature and that his trajectory was fundamentally conditioned and shaped by what happened in the intersection between literature, culture and politics in Scandinavia. In particular, we highlight the continued association and closeness between literature and theatre, the contested language issue in Norway, the superimposition of literary and political cleavages and dynamics as well as the transitory stage of copyright. Keywords Ibsen – tragedy – printed drama – The Modern Breakthrough – Georg Brandes – national literature – copyright On several occasions, Franco Moretti has highlighted the reverse relation between the geography of the novel and the geography of “modern tragedy.” Ibsen, whom he holds to be the key figure in this respect, is seen as belonging “to a Scandinavian culture which had been virtually untouched by the novel,” © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2016 | doi: 10.1163/24056480-00104003 Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 08:35:18AM via free access 450 fulsås and rem and as causing the most heated controversies exactly in the “great powers” of novelistic production, France and England (Moretti “Moment” 39).

  • The Figure of the Prostitute in Scandinavian Women's Literature
    Scandinavica Vol 57 No 2 2018 The Figure of the Prostitute in Scandinavian Women’s Literature of The Modern Breakthrough Gisella Brouwer-Turci & Henk A. van der Liet University of Amsterdam Abstract Despite the fact that prostitution and the figure of the prostitute as represented in Scandinavian women’s literature of the last decades of the nineteenth-century is a significant topic, a systematic study on the role of prostitution in Scandinavian women’s literature of The Modern Breakthrough is largely lacking. This article, in which prostitution is conceptualised in the broadest meaning of the word, analyses the literary representations of the figure of the prostitute in the novel Lucie (1888) written by the Dano-Norwegian Amalie Skram, Rikka Gan (1904) by the Norwegian Ragnhild Jølsen, and the Swedish novella Aurore Bunge (1883) by Anne Charlotte Leffler. By means of close textual analysis, this article analyses how prostitution is represented in these three works and explores what factors were at play in causing the protagonist to be ‘fallen’ and with what consequences. The findings highlight the psychological and social implications of three unique forms of prostitution: prostitution within the marriage, a socially constructed form of prostitution as a shadow hanging over a marriage, and a relational form of prostitution parallel to a marriage. Keywords Modern Breakthrough, Scandinavian literature, women’s writing, prostitution, sexual transactions, Anne Charlotte Leffler, Amalie Skram, Ragnhild Jølsen 36 Scandinavica Vol 57 No 2 2018 Introduction Prostitution was a central theme in Scandinavian society and culture during the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth century.

  • IMAGINE ALL the PEOPLE Literature, Society and Cross-National
    IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE Literature, Society and Cross-National Variation in Education Systems By Cathie Jo Martin Boston University [email protected] (January 2017) INTRODUCTION In light of their nineteenth-century political economies, one wonders why Denmark became a leader in public, mass primary education (1814) and secondary vocational training, while Britain created public mass schooling in 1870 and chose a unitary academic track for secondary education. If industrialization drives educational development, Britain (leading the industrial revolution) should be an innovator in both early mass education and vocational training for skilled workers (Wilensky; Busemeyer and Trampusch), and backward, rural Denmark should be the laggard. Nation-building and social democratic impulses might instead be responsible for small, vulnerable Denmark’s early educational initiatives (Boli et. al.), yet the considerable diversity of Danish education (with its large vocational track) seems at odds with mandates of a universalistic, social democratic welfare state (Telhaug et. Al. 2006, Glenn, 2007). This paper sheds light on the peculiarities of education system development in Britain and Denmark by looking at the association between culture (as manifested in literature) and education policy. I argue that stark cultural differences about the purpose of education and the role of the individual in society mediated British and Danish responses to requisites for expanded education (e.g. nation-building, industrialization, and globalization). Education serves multiple purposes: schooling both develops skills and cultivates citizenship. Moreover, access to an education may be posited as an individual right and mechanism for cultivating individual capacities (for employment or self-growth), or as a collective responsibility to train citizens for societal needs (associated with economy, stability and international security).

  • Painting Tranquility: Masterworks by Vilhelm Hammershøi from Smk – the National Gallery of Denmark
    10-17-2015 PAINTING TRANQUILITY: MASTERWORKS BY VILHELM HAMMERSHØI FROM SMK – THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF DENMARK Vilhelm Hammershøi’s 19th- and 20th-century masterpieces on view at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, NYC MEDIA PREVIEW: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 9 - 11 AM 10-17-2015—Painting Tranquility: Masterworks by Vilhelm Hammershøi from SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark, an exhibition of masterpieces by celebrated Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916), opens at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, in New York City, on October 17, 2015. The selection of 24 paintings examines the practice of an artist who defied tradition and conventional expectations with his enigmatic artworks, eventually earning recognition as one of Denmark’s greatest artists of the modern era. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Kasper Monrad, chief curator at the Statens Museum for Kunst/ National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) in Copenhagen and a leading expert on Danish and European painting of the 19th century. Extended through March 26, 2016, the exhibition will be accompanied by a range of public programs for all ages and a new publication. Drawn from SMK’s extensive collection, Painting Tranquility features artworks from the main genres in which Hammershøi worked: monumental Fig. 1: Vilhelm Hammershøi, Interior with the buildings and churches in Copenhagen, reduced Artist’s Easel, 1910. Oil on canvas, 33 x 27 1/5 landscapes, intimate portraits, and the quiet in., Statens Museum for Kunst, smk.dk. home interiors for which he earned the title “de stille stuers maler” (the painter of tranquil rooms). Though Hammershøi’s international popularity has grown rapidly in recent years, Painting Tranquility will be the first exhibition in New York exclusively dedicated to his work in over 15 years.

  • 1 Decadence in Nordic Literature an Overview
    1 Decadence in Nordic Literature An Overview Pirjo Lyytikäinen, Riikka Rossi, Viola Parente-Čapková, and Mirjam Hinrikus Decadence, “a strange and singular plant” growing “in the over- cultivated soil of modern society”? (Hansson 2002, 4).1 This is how Swedish author Ola Hansson interpreted the title of his Sensitiva amorosa (1887), one of the landmarks of Nordic decadence. Hansson signaled his decadent stance by introducing the Baudelairean trope of “sick” or “evil” flowers in his text studying “unnatural” erotics. The strange poisonous herb invented by the author, as further explained in the poetic preface to the prose-poem-like stories, was a plant with morbid veins and “sickly sweet scent,” and with a color resembling “the light in a sickroom.”2 As a metaphor, the trope characterized Hansson’s work, reminding us of an essay by J.-K. Huysmans, where he describes decadent texts that grow from the soil of the dreams of exceptional individuals as a reaction to the disgusting materialistic tyranny of money.3 These blossoms of the genius of the decadent age were supposed to manifest the creative spirit of the new art that sought to go against the grain while revealing it as the outgrowth of the muddy soil of a decaying culture. In the Nordic coun- tries, these herbs were not welcomed by those who guarded the national cultures, as Hansson himself was to experience. Still, a great variety of these outgrowths or decadent texts emerged from the Nordic soil. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the spread of European currents in Nordic countries caused unusually strong tensions in the local cultures.
