On the other hand, Kajsa Lindsten Öberg demonstrates that literature, be it for adults or for children, is not entirely uninfluenced by current affairs. Mirror or not, the following two articles about recent Swedish titles identify themes connected with public debate, but also include some exposing testimonies about the most private sphere. There is a mounting international interest in Swedish literature. Swedish books are found on bestseller and “critics’ choice” charts all over the world, and the publication of translations is no longer limited to a handful of specialist publishers. Bidding for titles occurs more and more often, even for translations of previously unpublished writers. Ingrid Elam and Kajsa Lindsten Öberg have been requested to com- ment on this year’s published books for the Frankfurt Book Fair 2000. The selection of titles and the opinions are entirely their own. The com- ments are usually short but will hopefully encourage further reading. For more information about the authors, we refer you to each respective publisher. Information about funding of translations can be obtained from the Swedish Institute.

  • 200322 Om Sommaren Till Och Med...Indd
    FÖRORD ”Och på sommaren till och med sjunger jag”. Så skrev tioårige Jens Lundberg när Barnkörveckan på Fårö började för 15 år sedan. Det blev till en sång som nu är körveckans signaturmelodi. I början var det barnens texter som vi tonsatte, men så småningom kontaktade vi olika framstående författare, som gästade Barnkörveckan och skrev nya texter. Sverige är som ni säkert vet ledande internationellt vad det gäller barn– och ungdomslitteratur. Vi är stolta och glada över att under flera år ha fått samarbeta med några av de främsta företrädarna för svensk barn– och ungdomskultur. Gästförfattare har under åren varit; Kaj Beckman, Lennart Hellsing, Fritz Sjöström, Barbro Lindgren, Thomas Tidholm, Mecka Lind, Ulf Stark, Annika Holm, Per Nilsson och nu senast Gunilla Bergström. Under dessa år har jag, Stefan Nilsson och den unge kördeltagaren Egil Franzén tonsatt författarnas texter, körledarna övat in sångerna och vi tillsammans framfört dem vid veckans slut. I den här sångboken har Stefan och jag gjort ett urval som vi tror är representativt. Vi hoppas sångerna kan inspirera er, även om ni aldrig varit på Fårö. Ni andra, barn, ungdomar och föräldrar, som varit med och sjungit kanske kan uppleva Fårö-sommaren på nytt, särskilt när höstmörkret börjar komma. Fårö-bilderna som Noomi Riedel tagit kan också hjälpa till att förstärka upplevelsen. Tack till alla er som gjort Barnkörveckan möjlig; alla hängivna Fårö-kvinnor i styrelsen, alla frivilliga, alla sångare och inte minst Wessmans Musikförlag på Gotland, som omedelbart tände på idén att ge ut den här sångboken.

  • Introduction Narratives of Children's Literature Around 1968
    Introduction Narratives of Children’s Literature Around 1968 We like to think of the 1970s as the decade when Swedish chil- dren’s literature became political. However, when later critics began sketching the most significant changes in children’s literature of the period the verdict was harsh. The tidal wave had changed. Now the critics turned against the demand for socially oriented realism, and questioned the aversion towards imagination and fantasy which, it was argued, had characterized Swedish children’s literature since the late 1960s. An illustrative example is found in an article written by Ronny Ambjörnsson in the summer of 1981, in which he attacked the alleged dominance of the socio-realistic norm in the 1970s, and argued for another kind of children’s literature. In Ambjörnsson’s view, it was clear that Göran Palm’s call for more realistic literature in the early 1960s had become a major influence for the writers of children’s books. In light of this, Ambjörnsson states that the chil- dren’s literature of the 1970s had turned anti-idyllic and realistic at the expense of imagination and fairy tales (R. Ambjörnsson). In short, Ambjörnsson claimed that the fairy tale genre was “banned” from children’s literature during the 1970s, and he argued that this entailed undesirable effects for the reading child. In his view, the insight into societal problems strived for in socially orient- ed children’s books did not necessarily lead to liberation or change, it could just as easily result in resignation. Moreover, he argued, there are important aspects in life that cannot be described in the language of realism.

  • Lisa Bjärbo Tilldelas Astrid Lindgren-Priset 2018
    Lisa Bjärbo tilldelas Foto: Leif Hansen Astrid Lindgren-priset 2018 Författaren Lisa Bjärbo tilldelades idag Astrid Lindgren-priset för förtjänstfullt författarskap inom barn- och ungdomslitteraturen med motiveringen: ”För ett mångsidigt, insiktsfullt och lovande författarskap som inte räds svåra ämnen, och som med hög trovärdighet skapar stora läsupplevelser för barn i alla åldrar.” Lisa Bjärbo, född 1980, är journalist och författare. Hon släppte sin första ungdomsroman Det är så logiskt alla fattar utom du år 2010. Sedan dess har det blivit en rad roliga och sorgliga nutidsförankrade böcker om vardag, relationer och känslor för barn och unga i olika åldrar. Lisa Bjärbo som är aktuell med boken Viggo och rädslolistan, tar barnets känslor och rädslor på allvar och både stora och små kan känna igen sig i en här fina vardagsskildringen. – Jag satt på ett trångt pendeltåg utan täckning när meddelandet om att jag vunnit det här priset försökte ta sig fram till mig genom novemberdimman. När jag till slut fattade vad det var frågan om ploppade hjärtat nästan ut genom öronen. För en smålänning som växt upp fullständigt marinerad i Astrid Lindgrens berättelser, lekar, miljöer och tankar är det här nästan större än rymden. Jag är så extremt glad. SÅ EXTREMT GLAD, säger Lisa Bjärbo. – Jag har enorm respekt för Astrid. Hennes barnperspektiv, hennes blick, hennes humor och allvar, hennes betydelse för svensk barnlitteratur, både som förläggare och författare. Det låter så platt, för det är så många som sagt det förut. Men vare sig vi fattar det eller inte är vi väldigt många som har Astrid Lindgren att tacka för mycket, fortsätter Lisa Bjärbo.
