Ma non è stato Harry a presentare la propria candidatura per il Torneo, qualcuno lo ha fatto al posto suo. Il giovane mago, dunque, si trova costretto a gareggiare nel pericoloso torneo internazionale in cui deve confrontarsi con i suoi colleghi più anziani ed esperti, e deve anche affrontare la sua nemesi, il malvagio Voldemort, determinato a tornare al potere e ad eliminare Harry una volta per tutte. Così Harry si misura con un micidiale drago sputafuoco, feroci demoni acquatici e una bacchetta magica, solo per ritrovarsi nella morsa crudele di Colui-Che-Non-Deve-Essere-Nominato.

  • 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.

  • Film Review: Let the Right One In
    ELCS0036 — XYKG6 Report 1 (500 words, 15%) FILM REVIEW: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN A beautiful Scandinavian love story, between sadness and prosperity. “What he was scared of was not that maybe she was a creature who survived by drinking other people's blood. No, it was that she might push him away.” ― John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In It is astonishing to find some bliss in what we call a vampire horror film. Nevertheless, it is indeed the effect produced by the film of the Swedish director Tomas Alfredson. Let the Right One In is based on John Ajvide Lindqvist's 2004 novel of the same name and premiered in 2008 at the Gothenburg Film Festival in Sweden. Kåre Hedebrant portrays Oskar, a twelve-year-old boy who lives with his separated mother in a Stockholm suburb and befriends Eli (Lina Leandersson), a child of his age with captivating and unusual beauty. Before meeting her, Oskar was a lonely boy, a victim of school bullying. Despite the hatred and the desire for revenge within him, he does not find the courage to defend and assert himself. The courtyard of his apartment block is the only place where Oskar feels powerful enough to retaliate. One evening, he met Eli. Oskar forgets his animosity, in order to become familiar with her, despite her odd appearance. Indeed, she does not seem to be affected by the freezing cold of Sweden and her skin is as pale as the snow — ubiquitous in the film. When it comes to Eli, she has just moved into the neighbourhood with an old man called Håkan (Per Ragnar) who helps her to satisfy her perpetual need for blood.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.

  • Vampire in the Stockholm Suburbs: Let the Right One in and Genre Hybridity
    JSCA 1 (1) pp. 55–70 Intellect Limited 2010 Journal of Scandinavian Cinema Volume 1 Number 1 © 2010 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jsca.1.1.55_1 feature article ROCHELLE WRIGHT University of Illinois Vampire in the Stockholm suburbs: Let the Right One In and genre hybridity ABSTRACT KEYWORDS The article argues that one crucial factor in the success of the Swedish vampire vampire films film Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In (Alfredson, 2008) is that it genre seamlessly merges several apparently disparate genres to create a hybrid form that hybridity appeals to widely divergent audiences. A detailed analysis of the film demonstrates gender identity how it simultaneously draws on and departs from common themes and motifs of the Other indigenous Swedish film as well as vampire film tradition, combining elements of Sweden the horror film, the coming-of-age story and the realistic socio-psychological drama to create a unique mix of the innovative and the familiar. A comparison of critical responses in Sweden with those in the English-speaking world sheds further light on genre-specific expectations and ways the film transcends them. When John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In was published in 2004, he declared it to be the first Swedish vampire novel since Victor Rydberg’s Vampyren/‘The Vampire’, published in 1848 (Ordfront 2004). Though this claim may be hyperbole, the horror genre, as opposed to crime fiction, has hardly been a staple of recent Scandinavian popular literature. 55 JSCA 1.1_Art_Wright_55-70.indd 55 11/1/10 11:53:53 AM Rochelle Wright Let the Right One In received almost universally positive reviews and was hugely popular with readers as well.
