Kvinnan bortom allfarsvägen. Sonja Åkessons replik till Ragnar Thoursie
No full textThe woman beyond the main road. Sonja Åkessons reply to Ragnar Thoursie This article examines the intertextual relations between the Swedish author Sonja Åkesson's poem "Kvällspromenad" (Evening Walk), published in 1959, and the Swedish author Ragnar Thoursie's poem "Sundbybergs-prologen" (The Sundbyberg Prologue) (1952). The aim is to demonstrate how "Kvällspromenad" has a deep and polemic relation to "Sundbybergs-prologen". The comparison between the two poems is made by using Manfred Pfister's six criteria for analysing intertextual relations: reference, communication, autoreflexion, structure, selection and dialogue. The analysis shows that the intertextual relation is deep and strong. Sonja Åkesson gives a completely different view of modern life in post-war Sweden in her poem compared to the intertext. While Ragnar Thoursie describes a male worker walking home from the factory in the middle of the night and through that praises the ongoing building of the Swedish welfare state with its communion for all, Sonja Åkesson, in her poem, lets a lonely and alienated woman walk around in the same modern suburbs, but in a society where she seems homeless. The many intertextual relations between Åkesson's "Kvällspromenad" and its intertext, can be seen on a thematic as well as a metaphorical level

Fluctuations and growth in Ragnar Frisch’s rocking horse model
No full textRagnar Frisch's famous "rocking horse" model has been the object of much praise and even controversy since its publication in 1933. This paper offers a new simulation of the model to show that there exists cyclical trajectories in the propagation mechanism. By building an analytical solution taking the same form as Frisch's original solution, we can provide new insights into the ideas encapsulated in his model, in particular the fact that the author constructed a model combining cycles and growth. The exploration of Frisch's formal construction of the model leads us to link his statistical work on the decomposition of time series with his economic insights on investment cycles, which both led to the 1933 model. We contrast Frisch’s approach to that of other econometricians who used similar equations, showing that their different mathematical solutions were the product of what they wanted to show with their models
And yet it rocks! Fluctuations and growth in Ragnar Frisch's rocking horse model
No full textRagnar Frisch's famous "rocking horse" model has been the object of much praise and even controversy since its publication in 1933. In this paper, we propose a new simulation of the trajectories of the model to clarify those controversies and show that there exists cyclical solutions for a large set of parameters. By building an analytical solution that takes the same form as Frisch's original solution, we are also able to provide new insights into the ideas that he encapsulated in his model. In particular, we show that the author tried to construct a model that would combine both cycles and growth. Finally, the exploration of Frisch's formal construction of the model leads us to link his statistical work on the decomposition of time series with the construction of the 1933 model

No full textArt as Emancipation : The Author and the Question of Modernity in Sven Lindqvists's Early Works
No full textThis study is focused on the early writing of Swedish author Sven Lindqvist (born in 1932). The aim of the study is to investigate Lindqvist’s conception of literature, how it is presented, how it develops and how it materializes in his literary production between 1955 and 1962. The introduction describes Lindqvist’s first encounters with the literary situation in the early 1950’s. It sets out from the conflict between art and society and between modernism and modernity that is central for the question Lindqvist poses in the early part of his career: Why write literature? Part one deals with Lindqvist’s debut and the issue that serves as a foundation of his authorship: the role of literature in a time when literature on the one hand has gained autonomy, but on the other hand has become isolated from society. Part two deals with Lindqvist’s ambition to give the essay a significant role in this situation, as a literary art form able to transgress the assumed boundary between literature and society. Part three investigates how Lindqvist approaches the question of the role of literature from two seemingly irreconcilable perspectives: a romantic one (that emphasizes the timeless and irreplaceable value of literature) and a pragmatic one (that emphasizes the societal function of literature). In Praktika, he formulates a utopian literary programme – frihetskonst (art of emancipation) – extolling the uselessness of art within the framework of the utility concept of modernity. One can say that he ends up as a reformist avant-gardist, arguing for the usefulness uselessness of literature. In the epilogue the question is posed as to why Lindqvist in his subsequent works abandoned the artistic and societal utopia he had developed in Praktika
