NOBELOVA NAGRADA ZA KNJIŽEVNOST ( Nobel Prize ) NOBELOVA NAGRADA ZA KNJIŽEVNOST ( Nobel Prize ) Nagrado je v svoji oporoki ustanovil švedski znanstvenik Alfred Nobel, za posebne dosežke iz področij fizike, kemije, medicine, književnosti in miru. Nagrado podeljujejo od leta 1901. Kasneje leta 1969 so dodali še nagrado za ekonomijo. Podeljevanje nagrade poteka 10. decembra v Stockholmu, na obletnico smrti znanstvenika. Na željo Alfreda Nobela nagrado za mir podelijo na Norveškem. Kot zanimivost, se je Alfred Nobel sicer izumitelj dinamita, nekaj let pred smrtjo lotil tudi pisanja leposlovja. V njegovi oporoki, je bila nagrada za književnost na četrtem mestu. 2020 Louise Glück (ZDA) 2019 Peter Handke (Avstrija) 2018 Olga Tokarczuk (Poljska) 2017 Kazuo Ishiguro (Velika Britanija) 2016 Bob Dylan (ZDA) 2015 Svetlana Aleksijevič (Belorusija) 2014 Patrick Modiano (Francija) 2013 Alice Munro (Kanada) 2012 Mo Yan (Kitajska) 2011 Tomas Tranströmer (Švedska) 2010 Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru) 2009 Herta Müller (Nemčija) 2008 Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio (Francija) 2007 Doris Lessing (Nemčija) 2006 Orhan Pamuk (Turčija) 2005 Harold Pinter (Velika Britanija) 2004 Elfriede Jelinek (Avstrija) 2003 J.

  • Acta Sueco-Polonica Nr 16 (2010)
    ACTA SUECO-POLONICA NR 16 (2010) ABSTRACTS KRZYSZTOF BAK Södergran and Close Reading: Some Reflections The paper examines the applicability of The New Critical method – close reading – to the poetry of Edith Södergran, one of the most prominent modernists in Swedish literature. Based on axioms of modernist aesthetics, close reading has been regarded as the optimal instrument for analyzing modernist poetry and was frequently applied to Södergran’s poems. As the paper demonstrates, several Södergran’s poems, however, are imbued with typical premodernist devices. The structure specifically investigated here is the triadical sequence protasis–epitasis–catastrophe, known from classical comedy and used as an organization principle in many of Södergran’s texts. The main artistic effects of these poems result from the comedy sequence being variously transformed at the level of action, ideas, style, narrative and intertextuality. Because of its focus on connotative imagery, the method of close reading tends to neglect these kinds of essential patterns in Södergran’s poetry. PIOTR BUKOWSKI Doomed to Untranslatability? Translating Erik Axel Karlfeldt’s Poetry into Polish The author discusses the problem of a rather poor reception of Erik Axel Karlfeldt’s lyrical work in Poland. Polish translators seem to avoid this great Swedish poet, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. There is no separate edition of Karlfeldt’s poetry in the Polish language. The interested Polish reader has to content her/himself with only 18 translated poems, dispersed in three anthologies and two literary magazines. Not even the recent wave of interest in Swedish literature in Poland could change this situation.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind.

Performativity and Nobel Laureates in Peace and Literature Brian D. Denman1 Senior Lecturer, University of New England, Australia Copyright the author Peer-reviewed article; received 12 January 2018; accepted 24 February 2018 Abstract It is erroneous to draw too many conclusions about global university rankings. Making a university’s rep- utation rest on the subjective judgement of senior academics and over-reliance on interpreting and utilising secondary data from bibliometrics and peer assessments have created an enmeshed culture of performativity and over-emphasis on productivity. This trend has exacerbated unhealthy competition and mistrust within the academic community and also discord outside its walls. Surely if universities are to provide service and thrive with the advancement of knowledge as a primary objective, it is important to address the methods, concepts, and representation necessary to move from an emphasis on quality assurance to an emphasis on quality enhancement. This overview offers an analysis of the practice of international ranking. US News and World Report Best Global Universities Rankings, the Times Supplement World University Rankings, and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities are analysed. While the presence of Nobel lau- reates in the hard sciences has been seized upon for a number of years as quantifiable evidence of producing world-class university education, Nobel laureates in peace and literature have been absent from such rank- ings. Moreover, rankings have been based on employment rather than university affiliation.
