"En framtid fylld av uppluckrade gränser" : En studie om Jonas Hassen Khemiris romaner i ämnesövergripande undervisning
No full textThis essay explores the possibility to use fiction as a starting point in integrated teaching in Swedish upper secondary school. A hermeneutic method is used in the analysis of novels by the Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri. Two novels are analysed: Jag ringer mina bröder (2012) and Allt jag inte minns (2015). The analysis is based on theories of central themes in the curriculum for the subjects Swedish, religious science, social science and history. The focus of the essay is the didactic potential of Khemiris novels in multidisciplinary education regarding the selected themes: identity, ethnicity and gender equality. It is further discussed how the novels can be used as study material and the results shows that fiction, such as novels by Jonas Hassen Khemiri, is a good basis for multidisciplinary teaching
Traces autofictionnelles dans l'oeuvre de Jonas Hassen Khemiri
No full textJonas Hassen Khemiri is a Swedish author whose work is currently receiving more and more attention and appreciation. In his second novel, Montecore. The Silence of the Tiger (2011, the Swedish original was published in 2006), the author engages in a play of masks by means of a fictitious e-mail correspondence between an alter ego (sharing his name with the author) and someone pretending to be a close friend of his father’s, in the end seeming to represent the father himself. The text retraces the father’s life, the two correspondents both claiming the right of interpretation of this existence. While discovering and reconstructing his father’s life, the character Khemiri ends up questioning his image of the father and also that of himself and his own childhood. Is it possible to establish any kind of truth with regard to describing a person’s life, or do we have to content ourselves with an attempt to put together fragments of “truth”, tinged by personal experience

Relating Someone Else’s Story: A Comparative Reading of Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s Everything I Don’t Remember and Édouard Louis’ Histoire de la violence
No full textThe article is a comparative reading of Everything I Don’t Remember by Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri, and Histoire de la violence by French author Édouard Louis. The main theoretical framework is Deleuzian/Guattarian affect theory, coupled with Adriana Cavarero’s analysis of storytelling and selfhood. Both novels depict a narrative situation where a person has their story told by someone else, and thus provide striking accounts of how individuals relate and affect each other. Moreover, the narrative form of the novels presents identity, solidarity, and love not as predefined categories language can represent, but rather as troubled and unstable phenomena produced and altered through stories
Types and Effectiveness of Community-Based Cardiovascular Disease Preventive Interventions in Reducing Alcohol Consumption: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
No full textCardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a global health challenge, with modifiable risk factors, notably alcohol consumption, impacting its onset and progression. This review synthesizes evidence on the types and effectiveness of community-based interventions (CBIs) aimed at reducing alcohol consumption for CVD prevention. Electronic databases were systematically searched until October 31, 2019, with updates until February 28, 2023. Given the heterogeneity in outcome measures, we narratively synthesized the effectiveness of CBIs, adhering to the synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM) guidelines for transparent reporting. For selected homogenous studies, a random-effects meta-analysis was utilized to estimate the effects of CBIs on alcohol consumption. Twenty-two eligible studies were included, with 16 demonstrating that CBIs reduced alcohol consumption compared to controls. Meta-analysis findings revealed reductions in above moderate-level alcohol consumption (pooled odds ratio (OR)=0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.37, 0.68), number of alcohol drinks per week (standardized mean difference=-0.08, 95% CI:-0.14,-0.03), and increased odds of low-risk drinking (pooled OR=1.99, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.81) compared to the control groups. Multi-component interventions (particularly those combining health education, awareness, and promotion activities) and those interventions with a duration of 12 months or more were notably effective. The beneficial effects of CBIs focusing on achieving a reduction in alcohol consumption showed promising outcomes. Implementing such interventions, especially multicomponent interventions, could play a significant role in mitigating the increasing burden of CVDs. Future studies should also consider employing standardized and validated tools to measure alcohol consumption outcomes to enhance the consistency and comparability of findings.We would like to thank the European Commission Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation for funding this work. We are also grateful to Deborah Jael Herrera for her valuable comments and contributions, including data visualization and proofreading of this manuscript. The first author (Neamin M. Berhe) and the second author (Hamid Y. Hassen) contributed equally to the work and should be considered co-first authors, while the last two authors (Hilde Bastiaens and Steven Abrams) should be considered co-senior authors
Jonas Hassen Khemiri and the Swedish Novel: Autofiction, Intertextuality, and Postmigrant Melancholy
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2025This dissertation interrogates questions of belonging and identity in Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s novels in relation to autofiction, intertextuality, and postmigrant melancholy. The dissertation situates the novels in postcolonial and cultural studies, and theories of affect and melancholia, and investigates how the representation of transcultural identities in contemporary postmigrant literature relates to the current discourse on Swedishness as whiteness. By using the term postmigrant literature, the dissertation shifts the discussion away from racialized categories of authorship to argue for the salience of other categories of analysis, such as genre, gender, and transnationalism. The dissertation offers an innovative approach to Khemiri’s authorship by arguing that his novels employ a multitude of narrative strategies, which convey a resistance to immigrant tropes and racialized readings. I argue that these strategies destabilize Khemiri’s position as a postmigrant writer and places his work in conversation with the Swedish literary canon
The Iconicity of an ‘Immigrant Writer’: Jonas Hassen Khemiri and Yahya Hassan
No full textWhat do Jonas Hassen Khemiri from Sweden and Yahya Hassan from Denmark have in common? Apart from the visual commonalities – they both have a non-white physical appearance – they share an outstanding commercial and critical success. Using these young, highly hyped, bestselling authors as examples, this paper aims at discussing the iconic function of the ‘immigrant writer’s’ authentic body in the public discourse on ‘national’ and ‘immigrant’ identities. The emphasis lies on the marketability of an ‘immigrant writer’, which derives its commercial value from the iconicity based on ethnic visibility, recognizability and exemplarity. I want to draw a connection between the existing fixed iconography of an ‘immigrant’ in the mass media and the visual ethnicized representations of Khemiri and Hassan in the daily press and put their literary performance into the socio-political context. This paper considers their popular author-images as objected icons of hegemonic normative discourses on national culture, while it simultaneously understands their subversive literary and extra-textual renegotiations of national self-imagery as iconoclasms of traditional order of ‘Swedishness’ resp. ‘Danishness’. Rather than going into deep textual analysis, I focus on the para-texts such as newspaper articles and book covers as iconic performances of the discourse on the ‘immigrant literature’
Socioeconomic and behavioral determinants of cardiovascular diseases among older adults in Belgium and France: A longitudinal analysis from the SHARE study
No full textDespite advances in the healthcare system, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still an important public health problem with disparities in the burden within and between countries. Studies among the adult population documented that socioeconomic and environmental factors play a role in the incidence and progression of CVDs. However, evidence is scarce on the socioeconomic determinants and the interplay with behavioral risks among older adults. Therefore, we identified socioeconomic and behavioral determinants of CVDs among older adults. Our sample consisted of 14,322 people aged 50 years and above from Belgium and France who responded to the waves 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 of the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe. The effect of determinants on the occurrence of CVD was examined using a Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) approach for binary longitudinal data. The overall rate of heart attack was 8.3%, which is 7.6% in Belgium and 9.1% in France. Whereas, 2.6% and 2.3% in Belgium and France, respectively, had experienced stroke. In the multivariable GEE model, older age [AOR: 1.057, 95%CI: 1.055-1.060], living in large cities [AOR: 1.14, 95%CI: 1.07-1.18], and retirement [AOR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.16-1.31] were associated with higher risk of CVD. Furthermore, higher level of education [AOR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.79-0.90], upper wealth quantile [AOR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.76-0.86] and having social support [AOR: 0.81, 95%CI: 0.77-0.84] significantly lowers the odds of having CVD. A higher hand grip strength was also significantly associated with lower risk of CVD [AOR: 0.987, 95%CI: 0.984-0.990]. This study demonstrated that older adults who do not have social support, live in big cities, belong to the lowest wealth quantile, and have a low level of education have a higher likelihood of CVD. Therefore, community-based interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular risks need to give more emphasis to high-risk retired older adults with lower education, no social support and those who live in large cities.This study utilized data from the SHARE wave 4 to 7. The SHARE data collection is primarily funded by the European Commission (Horizon 2020), the US National Institute on Aging, and various national sources (For a full list of funding institutions, see http://www.share-project.org).This specific analysis is supported by EU funded SPICES project (Grant agreement ID: 733356).
