  • 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.

Similarly the illustrative quotes chosen here are merely those Roseanna complete review Roseanna believes represent the tenor and judgment of the review as a whole. We acknowledge and remind and warn you that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure. The complete review 's Review :. This is very much a Martin Beck novel, introducing the loner First Detective Inspector with the National Police who seems always lost in thought. He's in that mid-life crisis range, in a passionless Roseanna with two kids, one on the verge of adolescence, devoted to his job but also using it as an excuse to keep himself occupied. This is a novel full of the difficulties of communication. Beck and his wife communicate on a superficial level, and he Roseanna knows what to say to his kids. No, no, not shot I'll give that to the papers here. Even the first confession that Roseanna elicits turns out to be for a completely different crime than Roseanna one he is investigating. The authors repeatedly turn to the most basic forms of exchanges in the novel -- there are several transcripts included, consisting solely of dialogue, for example, along with minimally embellished interrogations -- but Roseanna where answers are not evasive only parts of the picture become clearer.

  • As Seen in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson: Coffee As Materiality
    Paper from the conference On the Move: ACSIS conference 11–13 June, Norrköping, Sweden 2013, organised by the Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS). Conference Proceedings published by Linköping University Electronic Press at http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=095. © The Author. Coffee and Class for the Swedes – as seen in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson: Coffee as materiality Åsa Ljungström Independent researcher In the Millennium Trilogy coffee and class express the paradox of the dream of a classless society denying the divisiveness of class affiliation in Sweden. Coffee is used to create affinity while the consumption of other kinds of food and drink is used to subtly mark social hierarchies. Swedish people like to believe that it is possible for anyone to climb the social ladder; equality is the ideal since the 1960s. Having a coffee works to level the communication between people IRL as well as in the novels. The author uses the coffee as a formula to get the storyline going, introduce new characters or forecast events. Not until the New York Times’ columnist wrote about the pathological coffee consumption did the Swedes notice. The Swedes will have a coffee during a break at work, at home, with a friend, or whenever they open communication. The serving of coffee makes a self-evident statement in any group. Drawing on theory of materiality and presence the presentation aims to analyse coffee running through the human bodies creating chains of communication. Anything is possible with a coffee for Stieg Larsson’s characters coping with the morale of good and evil, black and white.

Since his literary debut in 1985, the novelist, playwright, screenwriter and comedian Gardell has time and again mesmerized the reading audience with moving, stylistically immaculate prose that ricochets off the page. His unique mixture of humor and heartbreaking episodes fetched from his own life as a member of the LGBTQ community has made Gardell a trendsetting authorship in Scandinavia. Deeply personal, utterly unfazed by taboos, and with a humor you can’t guard against, he is finally back with the national No. 1 bestseller, In Memory of an Unconditional Love . Till minne av en villkorslös kärlek (In Memory of an Unconditional Love) In Memory of an Unconditional Love is the story of the (in fiction) late author Jonas Gardell RiGhTS SoLD and his family. A family that is much like any other, except perhaps for the creative way in Finland, Johnny Kniga which it handles weakness. In the Gardell family, secrets and unwanted truths have a Sweden, Norstedts tendency to change shape, transforming into legends that – much like a skillfully executed magic trick – dazzle the eye with a prettier truth. The best teller of such legends was without a doubt Ingegärd Rasmussen, Jonas’ loving mother. The eccentric Free Church-raised Ingegärd, born in the not-so-roaring Swedish twenties, was a woman surrounded on all sides by obstacles dictating what a woman should be.

  • Roseanna by Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöo
    MAF Book Summary: Roseanna by Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöo Murder Among Friends’ overall reaction to this first book in the Martin Beck/Story of a Crime series was overwhelmingly positive! Members enjoyed the depth of detail both in the realistic depiction of the daily work of the Swedish police and in the authors’ tracking of the parts of Sweden that the investigation covered. One member even pulled out her maps to track where they were going to interview suspects, go to the crime scene, and follow the trail of the murderer back to Stockholm itself. One member was so kind as to bring pictures of Lake Vattern and the actual passenger ship (Diana) which was the site of the victim’s murder in the story! There were other handouts of places that were key to the novel, and that Patti will add to the upcoming MAF website. (She’s also hoping to get the link for the Diana etc. too!) Another member particularly enjoyed the way the authors had the police first hunting down the Diana’s passengers, and then combing through the passengers’ travel pictures to find the killer. The way they painstakingly follow all the phases it takes to solve the crime adds to the realism and believability for the reader. A couple of members had some difficulty getting into the story initially, and one member had stopped reading it, due to the pacing and its focus on the daily activities that often did nothing to advance the story. In talking about how this deliberate approach was used by the authors to build the readers’ belief in the authenticity of how an investigation would run, all the members came to appreciate what the authors were trying to do, especially when the reader who had put it down was told how gripping the final resolution was in catching the killer.
