Två versioner av filologi. Kontext, genealogi och världslitterära samband hos Henrik Schück [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textAlfred Sjödin, Department of Comparative Literature, Center for Language and Literature, Lund UniversityTwo Versions of Philology. Context, Genealogy, and World Literature Connections in Henrik Schück (Två versioner av filologi. Kontext, genealogi och världslitterära samband hos Henrik Schück)At a time when the question of context and scale is discussed from a variety of perspectives (e.g. the digital humanities, research in world literature), it seems necessary to cast a glance at the way a normal sense of context became established in Swedish research. This article investigates the tension between two explicative schemes (genealogical and socio-historical contextualization) in this early phase of Swedish research in literary history, pointing to how they coexisted yet were applied to different literary phenomena (traditional or collective creations vs. more modern and artistic ones). It also seeks to explain the reasons for the later marginalization of the genealogical type of inquiry and to describe what was lost in this process. In particular, research in world literature, which seemed a possibility given the general nature of early Swedish literary research, could benefit from reengaging with this older disciplinary tradition and its view of the long history of literature.</p

Efter Tegnér
No full textEsaias Tegnér (1782–1846) was for a long time considered not only Sweden’s foremost poet but also a national symbol, an author who defined the characteristics of Swedish culture. Tegnér’s status as the national poet has long since dwindled, and along with it, the attention paid to his work by literary scholars. This volume sets out to prove that the last of these developments should not necessarily flow from the first. Writing in a situation when Tegnér’s presence in Swedish culture is much less marked, six younger scholars approach the poems of Tegnér from the angle of their individual research interests to offer fresh readings of one of the most studied oeuvres in Swedish literature. The articles in the first part treat Tegnér’s relation to 18th century forms of public poetry, his erotic poems and the question of manuscript culture. In the second part, the central patterns of his poetry in the context of romantic metaphysics are reexamined, as well as his metrical art, in the light of cognitive and semiotic theories. The third part concerns aspects of the Tegnér tradition in Swedish culture: his role as a character in fictional and biographical representations, and the use of his work as raw material by 20th and 21h century poets. Together, the articles demonstrate the lasting interest of Tegnér’s works and the need to revisit them from new angles

Critique and Admiration : Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Sweden 1750-1850
No full textFå personer har i modern tid haft lika stort inflytande på europeisk kultur och tankeliv som Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Hans skrifter, vare sig de var politiska traktater, romaner, skrifter om teaterkonsten eller självbiografiska texter, lästes med en enorm uppmärksamhet och väckte såväl lojal beundran som ilsken kritik. De två polerna utgör titeln på denna antologi nyskrivna studier om Rousseau och Sverige, Kritik och beundran. Jean-Jacques Rousseau och Sverige 1750–1850. Genom att ses via det svenska mottagandet får Rousseaus idéer om uppfostran, statsskick, naturen och musiken en intressant och allsidig belysning, samtidigt som den stora idéomvälvningen i Sverige mellan 1700- och 1800-tal ges nya spännande fasetter
