The planning of the project was possible due to grants from Karlstad University and Riksbankens jubileumsfond in 2004. The grant applications would never have been written without the inspiring confer- ences on experimental fi lm arranged by Film Studies at Karlstad University since 2002, funded by Karlstad University, the Swedish Research Council, the Regional Film Centre of Värmland and Filmform foundation. The research, out of which this book is just a part, has been enabled by numerous people, institutions and settings. Out of all those we want in particular to express our gratitude to the following: Pelle Snickars and Agneta Sjöborg at the unit for audiovisual media at the National Library of Sweden, Ola Törjas and Martin Sundin at the library of the Swedish Film Institute, Jon Wengström and Johan Ericsson at the fi lm archive of the Swedish Film Institute. The Filmform foundation has been indispensable throughout, especially Anna-Karin Larsson and Claes Söderquist. The versatile technician and avant-garde/ underground cinephile Mats Lundell has not only 8 helped and assisted us, his input has been so crucial that he has often been the fourth member of the research team. When the research project was inaugurated a seminar on historiographical questions was arranged at Central Saint Martins in London where we received valuable comments from David Curtis, Malcolm Le Grice and A. L. Rees. As the research progressed we received useful input from colleagues at the fi lm studies departments’ research seminars in Lund and Stockholm, as well as from participants at the SCMS conferences. David E. James, Michael Zryd and Mats Lundell have read different drafts of the manuscript and provided important feedback. Elaine King has not only corrected our version of English but also edited the text into coherent scholarly writing, and Mike Jarmon illustrated the book with great skill and dedication. Our fi nal and warmest thanks go to all those fi lm- makers and fi lm workers who have agreed on being interviewed, helped us fi nd fi lms and fi les, and who have convinced us that there are several histories 9 that still need to be written. The Writing of a History of Swedish Experimental Film 10 Minor Histories of Minor Cinemas On 11 November 1956, the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, SR, devoted one hour to amateur and substandard gauge fi lm or, ‘narrow fi lm’ as it was called in Swedish.1 The programme was hosted by the art critic, Ulf Hård af Segerstad, who chose to show both amateur and experimental work by estab- lished artists. Hård af Segerstad had promoted amateur and experimental fi lm for a couple of years writing art criticism in one of Sweden’s leading news- papers, Svenska Dagbladet;2 his arguments and visions were made in a vein similar to that of Maya Deren and, later, Stan Brakhage.3 According to Hård af Segerstad history had shown that the true explorer of the art of photography had been the amateur, thus the amateur fi lmmaker was an essential fi gure in the evolution of fi lm art as well. Besides that the amateur was characterized by his or her disinterest for fi lm as business, as he or she was driven by the sheer passion for the medium and, therefore, could experiment unreservedly. Thus, according to Hård af Segerstad, the amateur was in many ways the true artist of this modern and transient medium. Also, however, the production side had its own interests and visions. Arne Lindgren, a dentist by profession and the secretary and leading fi gure of The Independent Film Group, Sweden’s fi rst organized fi lm workshop, wrote a letter to Hård af Segerstad days before the programme was to be broadcasted in order to clarify a few points.4 Lindgren’s actual intention of the letter was to make clear to Hård af Segerstad that the workshop had nothing to do with either amateur or substandard gauge fi lmmaking. According to Lindgren the only common denominator was that due to economical reasons the fi lmmakers at the workshop used the same format. Thus the right name for the work produced at the workshop was ‘free fi lm’ as the fi lms were non-commercial and made without any consideration of profi t making. Hence, the fi lms produced were – following Lindgren – neither amateur fi lms nor experimental ones. Peter Weiss, who at the time had not yet made his international breakthrough as a writer, was an exception according to Lindgren; Weiss was the only real experimental fi lmmaker at the workshop.

  • Nordic Fascism
    Nordic Fascism Investigating the Political Project Behind Bollhusmötet Master’s thesis (45 credits) Author’s name: Erik Blohmé Name of supervisor: Heléne Lööw Semester: Spring 2021 Date of Submission: May 17, 2021 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN Abstract This thesis investigates the political project behind the infamous tennis hall meeting, commonly referred to as Bollhusmötet, that took place in February of 1939 in Uppsala, Sweden. Gathering in the local tennis hall, the members of the Uppsala Student Union decided to send a resolution to the Swedish king protesting the reception of Jewish refugees into Sweden in the wake of the 1938 November Pogrom. The protest was widely influential, spurring similar resolutions at other universities and arguably influencing Swedish refugee policy on a national level. The event itself was orchestrated by a group of nationalist students as part of a political project aiming to establish a Nordic power bloc with Sweden as the central power. This political milieu rejected the geopolitics of both England and Germany to promote a specific form of Nordic fascism. Antisemitism was a central part of their ideology, both regarding short- and long-term goals, and antisemitism was also the ultimate motive behind the tennis hall meeting. The architects of these events joined the mainstream conservative milieu in 1940 as part of a strategy to abolish the Swedish political system from within and restructure the Swedish state according to a fascist model bearing many similarities to national socialism. Keywords: Bollhusmötet, Heimdal, Den Svenska Linjen, Arvid Fredborg, fascism, antisemitism, national socialism, Nazism. Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to Heléne Lööw who has supervised this thesis with patience, honesty, and great care.

  • Parallax Historiography: the Flâneuse As Cyberfeminist Catherine Russell, Concordia University, Canada
    Parallax Historiography: The Flâneuse as Cyberfeminist Catherine Russell, Concordia University, Canada "Cyborg imagery can suggest a way out of the maze of dualisms in which we have explained our bodies and our tools to ourselves. This is a dream not of a common language, but of a powerful infidel heteroglossia." Donna Haraway Haraway's cyborg manifesto may seem an odd choice of theoretical paradigms for developing insight into silent cinema; and yet I would like to suggest that new media technologies have created new theoretical "passages" back to the first decades of film history. The flâneuse, an imaginary construction of female subjectivity who is our guide in this journey, is herself a cyborg. She figures the relationship between women and technology as a mobile, fluid and productive means of, in Haraway's words, "building and destroying machines, identities, categories, relationships, spaces, stories" (1997: 482). Recent developments in film historiography by feminist theorists have shifted the emphasis from textual analysis of the woman onscreen to the invisible history of the spectator-subject. As Patrice Petro puts it, "In contrast to formalist film historians, who seek to recover what is increasingly becoming a lost object, feminists have been primarily concerned to unearth the history of the (found) female subject" (1990: 11). This is a discovery that calls for discourse drawn from the utopian genres of techno-feminism. That this "discovery" of female subjectivity has been motivated by the parallels between early cinema and new imaging technologies is, I believe, a fundamental aspect of the new feminist film historiography. The term "parallax" is useful to describe this historiography, because it is a term that invokes a shift in perspective as well as a sense of parallelism.

While troubling the notion of women’s cinema, its definition, limits and limitations, a wide range of case studies – films emerging from dissimilar contexts of production and reception – will be mostly read and discussed in the light of feminist approaches to questions about gender and representation. In this sense, the course will also offer a historical and critical overview of feminist scholarship within film studies and of the ongoing debates in this area of study. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the course, students will be able to: 2 1. Critically reflect upon questions concerning women and film, both in terms of their involvement in production and in the processes of reception. 2. Ponder the key notions involved in the debates around, and the study of, feminist film theory, gendered representations and considerations on point of view. REQUIRED READINGS All the bibliography listed under the title of the film/s that will be screened each week is compulsory reading.
