Naip 1 0 0 0 Towards Official Support to MPLA Towards Official Support to MPLA MPLA and the Lund South Africa Committee The Angolan nationalist cause had during the first half of the 1960s primarily been presented to the Swedish public by journalists and writers, as well as by representatives of Swedish NGOs linked to international youth and student organizations. In contrast with South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique,1 no high-ranking Angolan nationalist leader had visited Swe den and no Angolan student authorized to speak on behalf of the liberation movement was resident there. In brief, there was no direct information activity or diplomacy carried out in Sweden by either FNLA or MPLA. The situation changed during the latter part of the decade. At the same time as the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa was given decreasing attention, the struggle in Angola would-together with the issues of Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique-again come to the fore. With FNLA largely absent, the cause of MPLA from 1966 was principally taken up by the South Africa Committee in Lund. The following year, Jonas Savimbi, the President of the newly founded UNITA movement, was invited to Sweden by the Social Democratic Party. Although last on the political scene, Savimbi became the first of the Angolan leaders to directly express his views to the Swedish ruling party.2 Finally, in 1968 the Left Party introduced a parliamentary motion in favour of official Swedish assistance to the CONCP alliance, including MPLA. It was the active Lund South Africa Committee and its Syd- och Sydvdistafrika information bulletin that re-introduced MPLA in Sweden. After exclusive coverage of South Africa and Namibia from the beginning of 1964, two years later the bulletin opened its pages to the struggle in other parts of Southern Africa. In January 1966, the committee was visited by Pedro Gomes Higino, "active within the leadership of one of the main branches of the Angolan liberation movement, MPLA".3 An interview with Higino was published in the following issue of the bulletin. Later that year, Syd- och Sydviistafrika also published a special issue on 'Portugal in Africa',4 an update on MPLA's struggle 5 1 The President of FRELIMO, Eduardo Mondlane, regularly visited Sweden from 1964. 2 Agostinho Neto of MPLA paid his first visit to Sweden in July 1970, while Holden Roberto of FNLA went there for the first time in November 1971. 3 Syd- och Sydviistafrika, No. 1-2, 1966, p. 4. 4 Syd- och Sydviistafrika, No. 4, 1966. 5'Ny Fas i Frihetskampen i Angola' ('A New Phase in the Freedom Struggle in Angola') in Syd- och Sydviiafrika, No. 7-8, 1966, p. 20. Tor Sellstrbm and a profile of the MPLA President Agostinho Neto.1No corresponding attention was given to FNLA or UNITA. In the case of Angola, the Lund South Africa Committee would from the beginning put itself behind MPLA, influencing future opinions of the organized Swedish solidarity movement.2 UNITA, IUEF and the Social Democratic Party Little known is that the Social Democratic Party at about the same time established important contacts with Jonas Savimbi's UNITA. This was mainly a consequence of earlier links with Angolan pro-Savimbi students within ISC/ COSEC and IUEF. One of Savimbi's main constituencies consisted of a core of politically active students within UNEA, the student body formed under his auspices in 1962. The group was led by the UNEA President Jorge Valentim, who in July 1964 had been elected assistant secretary for African affairs of COSEC. While studying in Switzerland, Savimbi had from 1962 served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Holden Roberto's Revolutionary Government of Angola in Exile (GRAE). However, from the beginning of 1963 an increasing-to a large extent ethnically defined-rift appeared between Roberto's northern Bakongo constituency and Savimbi's Ovimbundu followers from central and southern Angola.3 Several influential FNLA-GRAE politicians and student leaders from the Angolan enclave of Cabinda also supported Savimbi in the mounting conflict.4 This reached its culmination at the OAU Heads of State and Government summit meeting in Cairo in July 1964, where Savimbi during a press conference resigned in a spectacular way from GRAE, charging that Roberto's government-in-exile "far from intensifying military action and regrouping the popular masses-the only way to hasten the liberation of Angola-limits itself 1 Syd- och Sydviistafrika, No. 10, 1966, p. 7. 2 The struggle in the Portuguese African colonies was at the same time brought to the fore by prominent intellectuals. In 1967, the Geran-Swedish writer Peter Weiss published his drama Stmgen em Skrtpuken ('The Song about the Hideous Mask'), a particularly powerful indictment of Portuguese colonialism and Western complicity. It was premiered in Stockholm in January 1967 and partly reproduced by the S6dra Afrika Informationsbulletin in its first issue (No. 1, 1967, pp. 17-18). The Lund South Africa Comnuittee had assisted Weiss with facts for the play (Lund South Africa Comiuttee: 'Medlemsmeddelande'/'Information to the members', No. 1/67, Lund [no date]) (AGA). 3 Many Ovimbundu contract labourers working on Portuguese farms-derogatorily called 'bailundos', i.e. people coming from the area of Bailundu in the central highlands-were killed during the UPA insurrections in northern Angola from March 1961. This was not forgotten by Savimbi's Ovimnbundu followers. As a curiosity it could be noted that Savimbi after the 1992 elections set up headquarters in Bailundu. 4 Such as the GRAE Minister of Armaments, Alexandre Taty-who later joined the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC)-Miguel N'Zau Puna and 'Tony' Da Costa Fernandes. Both N'Zau Puna and Fernandes formed part of the initial core group behind the founding of UNITA. Working closely with Savimbi for twenty-five years, they left UNITA at the beginning of 1992, accusing Savimbi of the killings in 1991 of Tito Chingunji and Wilson dos Santos, UNITA's former representatives in the United States and Portugal. Towards Official Support to MPLA to empty speeches".1 Shortly thereafter, Savimbi issued a devastating indictment of Holden Roberto, in particular denouncing "American imperialism" and "flagrant [Bakongo] tribalism" within his movement.2 Equally critical of what he viewed as Mbundu dominance and Communist influence within MPLA,3 Savimbi set about organizing a third Angolan movement, seeking and receiving assistance in Algeria, Egypt and China. Crucial for the initiative was UNEA's support. Savimbi's prot6g6 Jorge Valentim-who in 1963 as FNLA-GRAE representative in Katanga had grown disillusioned with Roberto's leadership-spearheaded the move to break the student body away from Holden Roberto. This was largely achieved through ISC/COSEC. In the words of Marcum, "Valentim decided to use COSEC travel funds and his position as UNEA President in a campaign to detach UNEA from GRAE [...], publishing a series of anti-GRAE student bulletins and pamphlets".4 The campaign was successful and after a special assembly in Utrecht, Holland, in September 1965 UNEA ceased to be part of GRAE. With additional support from a nucleus of experienced FNLA-GRAE military and political leaders,5 in January 1966 Savimbi was in a position to form a Preparatory Committee for Direct Action6 in the Zambian capital Lusaka. This was the forerunner of UNITA, formally founded by some seventy Savimbi followers at a conference near Muangai in the eastern Angolan district7 of Moxico in March 1966. The conference adopted a constitution which laid down that "real independence for Angola only will be achieved through [...] armed struggle [...] against the Portuguese colonial power inside the country".8 Six months later-in September 1966-UNITA held its first congress in Lusaka, where Savimbi was elected President of the Central Committee. Savimbi and UNITA were largely unknown in Sweden. However, in December 1966 Anders Ehnmark-who in 1961 had initiated the 'Angola Help' campaign for MPLA-visited the small UNITA office off Livingstone Road in Lusaka, where he in Savimbi's absence9 met and interviewed the movement's recently elected three Vice-Presidents, Smart Chata, Kaniumbu Muliata and Solomon Njolomba. The presentation of UNITA and the interview with its leaders-one of the very first by the international press-was published by 1 Jonas Savimbi: 'Resignation Statement, 16 July 1964, in Chilcote op. cit, p. 155. 2 Jonas Savirnbi: 'Where Is the Angolan Revolution?', October 1964, in Ibid., pp. 156 and 159. 3 Marcum (1978) op. cit., pp. 165-166. 4 Marcum (1978) op. cit., p. 162. 5 Such as Jos6 Kalundungu, FNLA's military Chief of Staff, and Dr. Jose Liahuca, head of SARA. 6 In Portuguese, Coina Preparat&io da Acqao Directa. 7 As Angola officially was a 'province' of Portugal, the term 'district' formed part of the colonial parlance. The liberation movements in the Portugese colonies normally used the term 'province', but -particularly in earlier documents-also often 'district'. 8 Cited in Marcum (1978) op. cit., p. 166. 9 Savimbi had in October 1966 crossed theborder into Angola, returning to Zambia at the end of March 1967. Tor Sellstrbm Expressen on 22 December 1966, shortly after UNITA's first military actions against the Portuguese in eastern Angola. Savimbi's lieutenants-all three former FNLA members-explained that they had broken with Roberto since he had "become too dependent on the Americans and in addition did not achieve anything inside Angola". In UNITA, they said, "we want to follow an African course, independent of the East and the West", expressing no understanding or mercy towards the Portuguese settlers in Angola: [They] are people of the Stone Age. They ship our soil to Portugal, which is only a heap of stones.

  • 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.

    Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations with Southern Africa Non-Alignment Through diplomacy and pragmatism-but also a mix of compliance and fortune- Sweden managed to stay outside the armed conflicts during both the First and the Second World Wars. As a result, Sweden has enjoyed unbroken peace since 1814, a unique situation in modern world history. Although the roots of neutrality go back to the early 19th century,1 it was with the division of Europe into two blocs after the Second World War that the guiding foreign policy principles of non- alignment were laid down, commonly expressed as 'non-participation in alliances in peacetime, aiming at neutrality in the event of war'. Once established, they were supported by the traditional parliamentary parties and followed during the period covered in the study. It was not until the demise of the Soviet Union and Sweden's membership of the European Union-effective from 1 January 1995-that the basic tenets were questioned and altered.2 Determining Sweden's post-war policy of non-alignment was its geographical and strategic position as a medium-sized country in northern Europe. From an economic point of view, Sweden was closely integrated with the West. Geo- politically, it was at the same time situated at the crossroads between major strategic super-power interests and in the immediate proximity of areas of vital demographic, economic and military importance to both the West and the East. As stated by the Swedish diplomat Sverker Astrtm, being so situated, it stands to reason that Sweden should have two aims, [namely] to avoid coming under the influence of the nearby super-power [and] avoid becoming the menacing outpost of the other.3 1 KristerWallbick: The Roots of Swedish Neutrality, The Swedish Institute, Stockholm, 1986.

Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair TERJE LEIREN Celebrating the centennial of its founding is a significant milestone for any institution, no less an academic department at a major research university. Since its establishment by an act of the Washington State Legislature in 1909, the Department of Scandinavian Studies has grown and prospered, largely due to the dedication of its faculty and staff and the excellent character and quality of its students. To com- memorate the milestone, several celebratory events, including lectures, dinners, special programs, and conferences are being scheduled between now and the summer of 2010. Please stay in touch with us, check our departmental website, and plan to attend as many events as you can over the next two years. Of course, at the heart of what we do in the Department is teaching and scholarship. Cutting-edge research and innovative teaching enhance and broaden our knowledge about, and appreciation of, the Nordic region. Our comprehensive language programs and wide range of course offerings focusing on the five Nordic countries and the three Baltic countries make the Department unique in the world. The UW is the only North American university that regularly teaches Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. In 2009–2010, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Baltic Studies program. By its very nature, the teaching at a research university is informed by the research of its teachers. All of the faculty in the Department of Scandinavian Studies are active scholars who bring their SPRING 2008 research back into the classroom, whether it be for a graduate seminar on literary theory, a discus- sion of Strindberg’s Paris, a broad introductory course on Scandinavian culture, or an advanced undergraduate course on the cinematic expressions of Scandinavian attitudes about sexuality or crime fiction.

  • Saved by the Civil War: African 'Loyalists' in the Portuguese Armed Forces and Angola's Transition to Independence
    Saved by the civil war: African ‘loyalists’ in the Portuguese armed forces and Angola’s transition to independence Pedro Aires Oliveira Instituto de História Contemporânea, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 1069-061 Lisboa [email protected] Abstract: The article examines the trajectories of ‘loyal’ African troops in Angola before and after the demise of Portugal’s authoritarian regime in 1974. It starts by placing the ‘Africanization’ drive of the Portuguese counterinsurgency campaign in a historical perspective; it then explores the rocky transition from colonial rule to independence in the territory between April 1974 and November 1975, describing the course of action taken by the Portuguese authorities vis-à-vis their former collaborators in the security forces. A concluding section draws a comparison between the fate of Portugal’s loyalists in Angola and the one experienced by similar groups in other ex-Portuguese colonies. The choice of Angola has the advantage of allowing us to look into a complex scenario in which the competition amongst rival nationalist groups, and a number of external factors, helped to produce a more ambiguous outcome for some of the empire’s local collaborators than what might have been otherwise expected. Keywords: Angola; colonial troops; Loyalists; counter-insurgency; Decolonization The dissolution of Portugal’s overseas empire in 1975 happened after a protracted counterinsurgency war which took place in three of its African territories (Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique), a 13 year conflict (1961- 74) that put an enormous strain on the limited demographic and economic resources of what was then Western Europe’s poorest and most undeveloped 1 state.

Jan Guillous fru Ann-Marie Skarp ställer frågan i ett skeptiskt tonfall när hon tar emot mig i sitt rum på Piratförlaget, på Öster- malm. Jag finner frågan besynnerlig. Självfallet är väl en av de mest kontroversiella och centrala gestalterna i senaste halvseklets me- dievärld intressant för många. En rimligare fråga vore varför ingen tidigare skrivit en bok om honom. Ann-Marie Skarp ser inte nöjd ut efter mitt svar. – Är det en skandalbok? – Inte alls. Mitt svar är uppriktigt menat. Jag vill förstå personen, yrkes- mannen och fenomenet Jan Guillou. Dessa tre aspekter hänger givetvis ihop. Men de är också nästan besynnerligt skilda åt. Många avskyr personen Guillou, respekterar yrkesmannen men älskar fenomenet Guillou. Så hur hänger de tre delarna ihop? Först har vi personen, hans drivkrafter och bakgrund som berät- telserna har sitt upphov i. Våra egna liv är ofta målade i gråskalor, i Guillous berättelser härskar de bjärta färgerna. Vad i hans egna livserfarenheter ger upphov till detta? Sedan har vi historien om yrkesmannen Jan Guillou.
