She has just moved into Villa Villekulla where she lives all by herself with a horse, a monkey, and a big suitcase full of gold coins. The grown-ups in the village try to make Pippi behave in ways that they think a little girl should, but Pippi has other ideas. She would much rather spend her days arranging wild, exciting adventures to enjoy with her neighbours, Tommy and Annika, or entertaining everyone she meets with her outrageous stories.Pippi thinks nothing of wrestling a circus strongman, dancing a polka with burglars, or tugging a bull's tail. Generations of children have fallen in love with Pippi Longstocking. Just like Tommy and Annika, readers are instantly charmed by her warmth and sense of fun. Astrid Lindgren's children's classic first appeared in 1945. Astrid once commented, 'I write to amuse the child within me, and can only hope that other children may have some fun that way, too.' When she was growing up, Lauren Child loved Astrid Lindgren's books. She remembers: 'I discovered Pippi when I was about eight years old andfound her completely inspiring.' Known and loved as the creator of some equally feisty little girls - notably Clarice Bean and Lola - Lauren has brought her own inimitable style to this beautifully-illustrated edition of Pippi Longstocking. This edition includes four illustrations from the book presented as limited edition prints and packaged with the book.

  • 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.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair TERJE LEIREN Celebrating the centennial of its founding is a significant milestone for any institution, no less an academic department at a major research university. Since its establishment by an act of the Washington State Legislature in 1909, the Department of Scandinavian Studies has grown and prospered, largely due to the dedication of its faculty and staff and the excellent character and quality of its students. To com- memorate the milestone, several celebratory events, including lectures, dinners, special programs, and conferences are being scheduled between now and the summer of 2010. Please stay in touch with us, check our departmental website, and plan to attend as many events as you can over the next two years. Of course, at the heart of what we do in the Department is teaching and scholarship. Cutting-edge research and innovative teaching enhance and broaden our knowledge about, and appreciation of, the Nordic region. Our comprehensive language programs and wide range of course offerings focusing on the five Nordic countries and the three Baltic countries make the Department unique in the world. The UW is the only North American university that regularly teaches Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. In 2009–2010, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Baltic Studies program. By its very nature, the teaching at a research university is informed by the research of its teachers. All of the faculty in the Department of Scandinavian Studies are active scholars who bring their SPRING 2008 research back into the classroom, whether it be for a graduate seminar on literary theory, a discus- sion of Strindberg’s Paris, a broad introductory course on Scandinavian culture, or an advanced undergraduate course on the cinematic expressions of Scandinavian attitudes about sexuality or crime fiction.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEP A RT M E N T O F Scandinavian Studies Message from the Acting Chair, Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams: This has been a productive and eventful academic year. The past two quarters as Acting Chair for the Department of Scandinavian Studies, while Terje Leiren is on sabbatical leave, have given me renewed respect for the multi-tasking balancing act that chairs of academic departments perform. We have experienced impressive growth this year and I have had the privilege of being in the posi- tion to announce several important events and promotions during my six-month interim. All are the result of many years of preparation and dedicated work by the faculty. It is exciting to see 2007 us succeed. Promotions are the most tangible proof of recognition that the College and the University accord faculty members for their research, teaching and service. This year, two of our fac- ulty members have been promoted. Andrew Nestingen to Associate Professor, and Christine Ingebritsen to Full Professor. As of September 16, 2007, the Department will consist of four Full Professors, three Associate Professors, one Assistant Professor, two Senior Lecturers and three Visiting Lecturers. While this may appear a bit top-heavy, there is no reason to argue with success. The time will come soon enough when one or more of us will retire, thereby making room for new younger faculty members as the process starts all over again. This is the law of renewal, reality at the University as much as it is in nature. SPRING While the UW is a world-class R-1 research university, teaching is an important part of what we do every day.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair TERJE LEIREN As the old joke goes: I have good news and I have bad news. Not surprisingly, the bad news relates to the fiscal situation in our nation that, inevitably, affects us all. Deep cuts in the Washington State budget and subsequent reduction in funding to the University, naturally, have found their way down to the Department of Scandinavian Studies. As a result, we face a vacant faculty position, reduced graduate student support and a significant reduction in endowment earnings that would ordinarily support a wide range of departmental activity, including student scholarships. But there is also much good news. With the number of majors in the Department passing 90, we graduated twenty-nine undergraduate students this year, including ten with department minors. With the formal approval of our new Finnish major in September by the State Higher Education Coordinating Board, Hester Angus became the first UW student to graduate with a major in Finnish. Two graduates, Kendra Wendel and Emily van der Harten, were invited to join Phi Beta Kappa as a result of their outstanding scholarly achievements during their careers at the UW. On the graduate level, three MA degrees were awarded this year and two students completed their dissertations and were awarded the Ph.D. Such success is indeed very good news. It is also a pleasure to note that, as a result of donor generosity, two of our professorships have become Chairs with endowments that exceed $1 million. The Scan|Design by Inger and Jens Bruun Foundation has partnered with the Department to establish several unique exchange programs with Denmark SUMMER 2009 coordinated by the newly appointed Scan|Design Chair, Dr.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies to Support Graduate Students of Swedish
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair JAN SJÅVIK Looking back on the 2012-2013 academic year, we have much to be grateful for and much to celebrate. Our enrollment numbers remain strong and the teaching across the curriculum continues to be exemplary. Faculty continue to produce scholarly productive research results and the department’s service commitment is unequalled. We have remained strong through nearly five lean years of recession and budget cuts and continue to be one of the best programs in Nordic and Scandinavian studies serving at one of the world’s best universities. Two of our colleagues, Marianne Stecher and Andrew Nestingen, successfully went through the process of promotion to the rank of Full Professor. The process is demanding and entails a thorough review by both the Department and the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as outside evaluations by scholars in Scandinavia and the United States. Both professors published new books this year. Nestingen’s book, The Cinema of Aki Kaurismäki: Contrarian Stories, is published by Columbia University Press while Stecher’s new book, The Creative Dialectic in Karen Blixen’s Essays – On Gender, Nazi Germany, and Colonial Desire, was published by The University of Copenhagen’s press, Museum Tusculanum Press. A third book, The Power of Song, by Guntis Šmidchens, holder of the Kazickas Family Endowed SUMMER 2013 Professorship in Baltic Studies, will be published later this year by the University of Washington Press. This speaks highly for the research activity in the department, as do the many articles and papers produced this past year by department faculty.

  • Nordic Literature for Adults and Children in the United Kingdom, 1950-2010: a Bibliographical Survey
    Scandinavica Vol 56 No 2 2017 Nordic literature for adults and children in the United Kingdom, 1950-2010: a bibliographical survey Charlotte Berry Magdalen College, University of Oxford Abstract Nordic Noir is now an established British literary genre, fuelled by numerous Nordic TV series shown on terrestrial and internet networks and more recently supplemented by British enthusiasm for Nordic design, food and history. This article examines the extent and depth of Nordic fiction for adults and children published prior to this point of popularity. Firstly, relevant bibliographical sources and extant bibliographical research are both identified. Through detailed analysis of the British National Bibliography for the period 1950-2010, the precise parameters of the translated corpus are then revealed, including the distribution of translations within each Nordic country for adult and children’s fiction. The most popular authors, titles and series for both genres are highlighted. Also explored across the time frame are the British publishing houses producing Nordic literature in translation as well as the translators themselves. Finally, publishing trends across the sixty year period are identified, with peaks and troughs clearly evident but contrasting sharply when adult and children’s fiction are compared. Keywords Bibliography, Nordic fiction, Nordic children’s literature, publishing history, translation 57 Scandinavica Vol 56 No 2 2017 Introduction and background British appetite for Nordic culture has exploded over the last five or so years, with a nation-wide passion for ‘Scandi’ design, food, Christmas traditions and ‘hygge’ showing no sign of waning. Numerous country guides and travel writing are appearing which typically share the experience of the British traveller’s perspectives on living in the Nordic countries, such as that of Booth (2014).
