Pressdebatten Om Vietnam Sommaren 1965
Pressdebatten om Vietnam sommaren 1965 Förord Sommaren 1965 flammade det upp en debatt om Vietnamkriget i den svenska pressen, där många författare, ledarskribenter och politiker deltog, de flesta kritiska mot den amerikanska Vietnam-politiken. Denna debatt spelade en viktig opinionsbildande roll, såtillvida att den okritiskt USA-vänliga hållning som hittills hade dominerat den svenska opinionen härmed fick en ordentlig törn. Den USA-kritiska opinionen skulle de kommande åren att förstärkas och fördjupas, inte minst därför att USA satsade allt större resurser på att upptrappa sin närvaro och krigföring i Indokina. Pressdebatten sommaren 1965 fungerade som en väckarklocka, den öppnade ögonen på många och bidrog till att människor kunde lösgöra sig från den närmast naiva pro-amerikanism som dittills dominerat den svenska opinionen efter andra världskriget. Nedan har vi samlat de viktigaste debattinläggen från sommaren 1965.

NORTANA Reading Group Guide Lønn-1
NORTANA Reading Group Guide Publication information According to Sofia Author: Øystein Lønn Translator: Barbara J. Haveland Publisher: Maia Press, 2009 ISBN: 1904559344 Price: 18.95 USD http://www.maiapress.com/books/sofia.php Introduction Three men have pledged lifelong friendship to one another, and all three men love one woman – Sofia. Each character encounters his and her personal demons, and the novel in an intricately bound web of choices and consequences. According to Sofia follows the bonds of love and friendship, in sickness and in health. About this book Maintaining a relationship to Sofia is the constant for the men in this turbulent novel. Simen, a newspaper editor, is her husband. Bird, a journalist and runner, is her brother. Leon, a musician and mechanic, is her lover. Bound for the Basque part of Spain, Sofia leaves Norway with Leon, who then abandons her for the desert of Morocco to attempt suicide. Simen and Bird try to remedy the unraveling situation from Norway. Cell phones are the lifeline between characters, offering a degree of communication as all four embark on their existential journeys to grapple reoccurring questions of isolation and loneliness. Linked by a thirty year history, their secrets and shortcomings color the mosaic of their friendship. Critics have compared Lønn’s narrative style to jazz. Leon is a jazz musician, so the parallels play on many levels in the text. The novel progresses unevenly through space and time, weaving present and past events into a storyline built on narrative fragments. Thus, with each character providing a distinctive melody, the harmony and dissonance of ensemble reflects the moods and tones of the individuals as they experience anger, grief, disappointment, elation, and doubt.

Francisco J. Uriz: "No Soy Un Teórico, Soy Un Trabajador"
Francisco J. Uriz: "No soy un teórico, soy un trabajador" Juan Marqués l 19 de abril de 2015, muy pocos días antes de que Francisco J. Uriz y su mujer, Marina Torres, volasen a Estocolmo para pasar allí la temporada estival, visité al matrimonio en su domicilio de la calle Valencia de Zaragoza y, antes de probar el legen darioE salmón al eneldo de Uriz y el no menos sobresaliente tiramisú de Marina, mantuve con él la conversación que aquí se transcribe, mientras ella leía el periódico en el salón y aderezaba la charla con comentarios perspicaces y divertidos. Cuando lo conocí en nuestra ciudad, durante una comida que organizó Diego Moreno, editor de Nórdica Libros, el 3 de noviembre de 2011, mi timidez me impidió explicarle cuánto le debo, pero lo cierto es que, pensándolo bien, no creo haber leído nunca más versos de nadie, si contamos como suyos todos aquellos que él ha traído desde el idioma sueco al español. Y, teniendo en cuenta la aplastante calidad de muchísimos de los autores que gracias a él conocemos, es de justicia declarar que pocas personas me han proporcionado tantas horas de jolgorio lector, de felicidad solitaria y privada. Intenté explicarlo con un poco de orden y también un punto de desenfado en el artículo "Algo de lo que debemos a Uriz", publicado en el número 6 de la revista zaragozana Crisis, y después, con más espacio y seriedad, en el volumen 113-114 de la turolense Turia, donde volvía sobre sus traducciones y sobre todo analizaba su propia obra poética, menos conocida pero igualmente valiosa.

Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.
