  • 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.

    Ida Endestad ”När allting började så bra, hur kunde det gå så illa” En lesning av Per Olov Enquists Ett annat liv som selvfremstilling i lys av Kapten Nemos bibliotek. Masteroppgave i nordisk litteraturvitenskap Høsten 2010 Institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studier Det humanistiske fakultet Universitetet i Oslo Sammendrag I ”När allting började så bra, hur kunde det gå så illa” gjør jeg en lesning av Per Olov Enquists Ett annat (2008) liv som selvfremstilling i lys av Kapten Nemos bibliotek (1985). Utgangspunktet for oppgaven er å undersøke hvilke strategier Enquist benytter seg av i konstruksjonen av et jeg i sin selvbiografiske roman Ett annat liv . Min problemstilling er hvordan Enquist konstruerer et jeg i Ett annet liv . Min hypotese er at Ett annat liv kan leses som nøkkelen til store deler av Enquists forfatterskap. Gjennom å undersøke Ett annat liv i lys av Kapten Nemos bibliotek har jeg kunnet si noe om forfatterskapets gjennomgående forhold til selvbiografiske tilløp, og også til hvordan Ett annat liv skiller seg ut og plasserer seg nærmere den tradisjonelle selvbiografien enn Enquists tidligere verk. På hvilken måte jeg-konstruksjonen i Kapten Nemos bibliotek forholder seg til Ett annat liv blir dermed en underordnet problemstilling. Masteroppgaven er inndelt i fem kapitler. I første kapittel presenterer jeg mitt prosjekt og mine forutsetninger for masteroppgaven. Jeg gjør også rede for teoretiske utgangspunkter. I kapittel to presenterer jeg fire teoretikere, Philippe Lejeune, Michel Foucault, Poul Behrendt og James Olney, som alle har undersøkt hvilke ulike strategier forfattere benytter seg av for å fremstille seg selv i litteraturen. Disse teoretikerne er på ulik måte med på å belyse viktige aspekter i min lesning av Ett annat liv.

  • Författare Från Den Svenska Folkhögskolan
    Stjärnorna och åkerleran - skön konst och praktisk nytta i Folkhögskolan Författare: Lena Skördeman Man betonar ofta att den svenska folkhögskolans kurser var praktiska och matnyttiga.
