Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: a Systemic
Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: A Systemic Approach Agnes Broomé A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Department of Scandinavian Studies School of European Languages, Culture and Society September 2014 2 I, Agnes Broomé, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …............................................................................... 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role and function of contemporary Swedish fiction in English translation on the British book market in the period 1998-2013. Drawing on Bourdieu’s Field Theory, Even Zohar’s Polysystem Theory and DeLanda’s Assemblage Theory, it constructs a model capable of dynamically describing the life cycle of border-crossing books, from selection and production to marketing, sales and reception. This life cycle is driven and shaped by individual position-takings of book market actants, and by their complex interaction and continual evolution. The thesis thus develops an understanding of the book market and its actants that deliberately resists static or linear perspectives, acknowledging the centrality of complex interaction and dynamic development to the analysis of publishing histories of translated books. The theoretical component is complemented by case studies offering empirical insight into the model’s application. Each case study illuminates the theory from a different angle, creating thereby a composite picture of the complex, essentially unmappable processes that underlie the logic of the book market. The first takes as its subject the British publishing history of crime writer Liza Marklund, as well as its wider context, the Scandinavian crime boom.

Film Review: Let the Right One In
ELCS0036 — XYKG6 Report 1 (500 words, 15%) FILM REVIEW: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN A beautiful Scandinavian love story, between sadness and prosperity. “What he was scared of was not that maybe she was a creature who survived by drinking other people's blood. No, it was that she might push him away.” ― John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In It is astonishing to find some bliss in what we call a vampire horror film. Nevertheless, it is indeed the effect produced by the film of the Swedish director Tomas Alfredson. Let the Right One In is based on John Ajvide Lindqvist's 2004 novel of the same name and premiered in 2008 at the Gothenburg Film Festival in Sweden. Kåre Hedebrant portrays Oskar, a twelve-year-old boy who lives with his separated mother in a Stockholm suburb and befriends Eli (Lina Leandersson), a child of his age with captivating and unusual beauty. Before meeting her, Oskar was a lonely boy, a victim of school bullying. Despite the hatred and the desire for revenge within him, he does not find the courage to defend and assert himself. The courtyard of his apartment block is the only place where Oskar feels powerful enough to retaliate. One evening, he met Eli. Oskar forgets his animosity, in order to become familiar with her, despite her odd appearance. Indeed, she does not seem to be affected by the freezing cold of Sweden and her skin is as pale as the snow — ubiquitous in the film. When it comes to Eli, she has just moved into the neighbourhood with an old man called Håkan (Per Ragnar) who helps her to satisfy her perpetual need for blood.

Vampire in the Stockholm Suburbs: Let the Right One in and Genre Hybridity
JSCA 1 (1) pp. 55–70 Intellect Limited 2010 Journal of Scandinavian Cinema Volume 1 Number 1 © 2010 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jsca.1.1.55_1 feature article ROCHELLE WRIGHT University of Illinois Vampire in the Stockholm suburbs: Let the Right One In and genre hybridity ABSTRACT KEYWORDS The article argues that one crucial factor in the success of the Swedish vampire vampire films film Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In (Alfredson, 2008) is that it genre seamlessly merges several apparently disparate genres to create a hybrid form that hybridity appeals to widely divergent audiences. A detailed analysis of the film demonstrates gender identity how it simultaneously draws on and departs from common themes and motifs of the Other indigenous Swedish film as well as vampire film tradition, combining elements of Sweden the horror film, the coming-of-age story and the realistic socio-psychological drama to create a unique mix of the innovative and the familiar. A comparison of critical responses in Sweden with those in the English-speaking world sheds further light on genre-specific expectations and ways the film transcends them. When John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In was published in 2004, he declared it to be the first Swedish vampire novel since Victor Rydberg’s Vampyren/‘The Vampire’, published in 1848 (Ordfront 2004). Though this claim may be hyperbole, the horror genre, as opposed to crime fiction, has hardly been a staple of recent Scandinavian popular literature. 55 JSCA 1.1_Art_Wright_55-70.indd 55 11/1/10 11:53:53 AM Rochelle Wright Let the Right One In received almost universally positive reviews and was hugely popular with readers as well.

1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, A
1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3. Title: 12:08 East of Bucharest ISBN: n/a 12:08pm on the 22 December 1989 was the exact time of Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania. Sixteen years on, a provincial TV talk show decides to commemorate the event by asking local heroes to reminisce about their own contributions to the revolution. But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants - a drink addled history teacher and a retired and lonely sometime-Santa Claus grateful for the company.

The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator – and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar and Eli, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to live if she keeps on moving.
