Litteratur (Eng) swedishPublished culture by the Swedish Institute August 2004 FS 114 c Modern Literature A whole century of Swedish literature necessarily encompasses numerous literary currents: folk romanticism, fl âneur literature, expressionism, bourgeois novels, surrealistic poetry, urbane portraits, social criticism, social realism, and accounts of the disintegration of the welfare state and the fragility of the individual. Some writers belonging to this literary scene have only one role to play, but a major one. Others reappear in several guises. Different voices from different epochs speak to us, loudly or softly, from “their” particular Sweden. 2 SWEDISH CULTURE MODERN LITERATURE TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY CURRENTS Hjalmar Bergman (1883–1931), one of Another social rebel was Ivar Lo- Two giants dominated Swedish literature the truly great storytellers of Swedish lit- Johansson (1901–1990) who became the at the turn of the 20th century: Selma La- erature, was both a novelist and a drama- dominant fi gure among Swedish proletari- gerlöf (1858–1940) and August Strindberg tist.

Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala, 64, Uppsala 2012, 224 pp. Swedish text. Abstract: This study examines the boom in Swedish crime fiction from a statistical perspec- tive. Theoretical input and methods are derived from the fields of sociology of literature, book history, and bibliometrics. With a quantitative approach, all Swe- dish crime fiction published in 1977–2010 (just over 1,700 titles) are compiled to identify patterns over time. The main source for bibliographical information and delimitations is “Deckarkatalogen” (an annual bibliography published by the Swe- dish crime fiction magazine Jury). Main results: Nearly 2.5 times as many first editions of crime fiction were is- sued in Sweden in the first decade of the 2000s, compared to the 1980s. The in- crease was particularly vast in the years following the turn of the millennium. All kinds of publishers have contributed to this expansion, but two types stand out: major publishers and self-publishers. The share of crime fiction written by women increased in the same period of time from between 10 and 20 percent to just over 30 percent. Furthermore, the gender balance among the bestsellers of crime fiction in the 2000s is nearly even.

  • Om Ikonoklasmen Hos Birgitta Trotzig
    Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 10 (2015), z. 4, s. 275–297 doi:10.4467/20843933ST.15.025.4584 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Litteraria zeszyt 4 KRZYSZTOF BAK Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie e-mail: [email protected] Om ikonoklasmen hos Birgitta Trotzig Abstract On Brigitta Trotzig’s Notion of Iconoclasm The Swedish writer Birgitta Trotzig (1928–2011) defi nes her own process of literary creation in interart terms as a translation of pictures into verbal signs. She often comments on the in- tersemiotic diffi culties involved in this transformation by referring to the Byzantine iconoclas- tic controversy. Using Trotzig’s notion of the iconoclastic controversy as a starting point, the present article investigates her understanding of the picture-word-transformation problems. The line of argument comprises fi ve stages. In the fi rst stage, the main issue of the article is presented and specifi ed. In the second stage, it is argued that previous critical approaches to Trotzig’s Byzantinism in most cases have been based on misleadingly anachronistic and mainly Occidental categories. In the third stage, the Byzantine iconoclastic controversy is related to the distinctive character of the theological thought of the Eastern Church. In the fourth stage, the Byzantine iconophile and iconoclast theories are applied to Trotzig’s literary works. A close reading of a representative prose poem of hers, “Teologiska variationer” (“Theological vari- ations”), demonstrates that her works unequivocally support the icon theology of the icono- dules. In the closing fi fth stage, Trotzig’s notion of the Byzantine iconoclastic controversy is reconstructed on the basis of her essays and interviews in which she explains her own as well as other authors’ intersemiotic diffi culties.

  • 09-29 Drömmen Om Jerusalem I Samarb. Med Svenska Kyrkan Och Piratförlaget 12.00
    09-29 Tid 12.00 - 12.45 Drömmen om Jerusalem Drömmen om Jerusalem realiserades av Jerusalemsfararna från Nås som ville invänta Messias ankomst på plats. Vissa kristna grupper, ibland benämnda kristna sionister, kämpar för staten Israel och för att alla judar ska återföras till Israel – men med egoistiska syften. När alla judar återvänt till det heliga landet kommer Messias tillbaka för att upprätta ett kristet tusenårsrike, tror man. Dessa grupper har starka fästen i USA och anses ha betydande inflytande i amerikansk utrikespolitik. De söker också aktivt etablera sig som maktfaktor i Europa. Kan man verkligen skilja mellan religion och politik i Israel-Palestinakonflikten? Är det de extremreligiösa grupperingarna som gjort en politisk konflikt till en religiös konflikt? Medverkande: Jan Guillou, författare och journalist, Mia Gröndahl, journalist och fotograf, Cecilia Uddén, journalist, Göran Hägglund, partiledare för Kristdemokraterna. Moderator: Göran Gunner, forskare, Svenska kyrkan. I samarb. med Svenska kyrkan och Piratförlaget 09-29 Tid 16.00 - 16.45 Små länder, stora frågor – varför medlar Norge och Sverige? Norge och Sverige har spelat en stor roll vid internationella konflikter. Tryggve Lie och Dag Hammarskjöld verkade som FN:s generalsekreterare. I dagens världspolitik är svenskar och norrmän aktiva i konfliktområden som Östra Timor, Sri Lanka, Colombia och Mellanöstern. Hur kommer det sig att så små nationer som Norge och Sverige fått fram en rad framstående personer inom freds- och konflikthantering? Medverkande: Lena Hjelm-Wallén, tidigare utrikesminister, Kjell-Åke Nordquist, lektor i freds- och konfliktforskning vid Uppsala universitet, Erik Solheim, specialrådgivare till Norska UD. Moderator: Cecilia Uddén, journalist. I samarb. med Svenska kyrkan och Norges ambassad i Stockholm 09-29 Tid 17.00 - 17.45 Vem skriver manus till mitt liv? Film och religion – livsåskådning på vita duken De avgörande föreställningarna för hur det goda livet ser ut formas i vår tid av filmer, TV-serier, varumärken, logotyper och reklambudskap.

  • 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.
