The Woman before the Art : A study of seven texts about the Swedish author Karin Boye
No full textI den här uppsatsen undersöks sju texter om den svenska författarinnan Karin Boye (1900–1941), publicerade mellan åren 1989 och 2013. Utifrån feministisk litteratur- och biografiforskning av Gunilla Domellöf och Lisbeth Larsson diskuteras att och hur personen Boye och biografiska läsningar av hennes skönlitterära produktion fortfarande intresserar. Bland resultaten finns slutsatsen att Boyes texter fortfarande ofta läses som självbiografiska, men att bilden av henne omarbetats; Boye betraktas inte längre som sjuk, till skillnad från 1950-talets sexualisering och patologisering av kvinnliga författare. Istället benämns hon lesbisk och den direkta kopplingen mellan hennes sexualitet och hennes självmord är borta. Avsikten i hennes självmord ifrågasätts dessutom, vilket ytterligare förändrar bilden av Boye. En övergripande slutsats är att samma teman som var aktuella under mitten av 1900-talet, såsom sexualitet, psyke och självmord, återkommer i omvärderad form när Boye blir läst och biograferad idag. Den biografiska traditionen är fortfarande aktuell, trots att den uppmärksammats och motarbetats av bland andra Domellöf

No full textThomas Sjösvärd, Division of Language and Literature at the School of Education, Culture and Communication at Mälardalen University “The Flight of the Ice Bird. Sparta and Alcman in the Works of Vilhelm Ekelund and Karin Boye” (Isfågelns flykt. Sparta och Alkman hos Vilhelm Ekelund och Karin Boye) Since antiquity, the image of the Greek city-state Sparta has been a source of inspiration for a variety of writers, partly due to its associations with militarism and male strength. Nevertheless, the archaic Spartan poet Alcman’s songs seem to express opposite values, such as femininity and vulnerability. One example is his so-called Halcyon fragment, where the aged poetic self dreams of being carried away across the water by female birds. A translation of the poem appears in the modernist author Karin Boye’s poetry collection För trädets skull [For the Sake of the Tree] from 1935. The work comprises translations of other authors of different eras. Boye adheres to a poetics based on elective friendships, supposedly enabling historically remote authors to meet across ideological and cultural boundaries. The inclusion of Alcman’s poem can be seen as a reply to Vilhelm Ekelund, an important influence of Boyes, since the Halcyon-bird had been an important motif for Ekelund from the 1900s onwards. By tracing both Ekelund’s and Boye’s relationship to Sparta, this article examines Boye’s critical appropriation of Ekelundian imagery. With Jacques Rancière’s dichotomy between mimesis and literature as a point of departure, the analysis explores a tension within the literary text, as either producing role models or objects of interpretation. Reading Ekelund from this perspective sheds new light on the purpose that his “ancient ideals” and misogyny serves to his writing. It is particularly relevant for the understanding of the much-discussed turn his writing underwent when he abandoned traditional poetry. Boye’s attitude towards Ekelund and references to Sparta, both in her novels and her poetry, shows her concern with the paradoxes of vulnerability and strength. This development culminates in her last collection of poems where a central theme is flight—an ambiguous word, as it can refer to both flying and fleeing
