Social reading for mental health

Department of literature, history of ideas and religion,
Uni versity of Gothenburg.Social reading is a praxis that has gained renewed interest
during the twenty-first century. In my research project »Social
reading — fiction and health« I strive to throw light on if and
how the use of group discussions of fiction can play a supportive
role in rehabilitation. In this chapter I discuss the results
of my exploratory empirical studies of five reading groups,
theorizing the processes of interpretation from a sociological
perspective.
My results indicate firstly, that group discussions about a
text inviting identification tend to result in a deeper understanding
of the characters and have the potential to empower
individuals. Secondly, texts likely to raise debate rather than
lead to role-taking open up for readers to try out new ways of
understanding or judging characters that they originally feel

I kärlekens namn : om människosynen, den nya kvinnan och framtidens samhälle i fem litteraturdebatter 1881-1909
No full textHur skulle en ny emanciperad kvinna skildras i litteraturen? Kring sekelskiftet 1900 rådde hårda strider mellan kvinnor om vilket kvinnoideal som skulle gälla. I kärlekens namn skildrar fem unika debatter som djupast handlar om människosyn. Företrädare för den tidiga kvinnorörelsen, bland andra Sophie Adlersparre, Eva Fryxell, Alma Cleve och Alexandra Gripenberg, diskuterade mot opponenter från både en radikal höger och vänster. En bred kärleksuppfattning, som även kunde omfatta samkönad kärlek, ställdes mot den omformning av heterosexualiteten som Ellen Key lanserade. Skulle man följa budet ”älska din nästa såsom dig själv” eller skulle man snäva in kärleksuppfattningen till att gälla en fysisk och andlig förening mellan en man och en kvinna?
I kärlekens namn är en mothistoria. Två händelser som länge format litteraturhistorieskrivningen i Sverige – det moderna genombrottet och Strindbergsfejden – breddas och framstår i ett helt nytt ljus. De
glömda röster som nu kan höras visar på ett starkt motstånd mot en modernitet med en särartspräglad syn som var grundad i föreställningar om olikheter mellan människor.
Att etik, estetik och politik hänger samman visar en jämförelse mellan de strategier kritiker i kvinno- och arbetarrörelsen använde för att främja sina syften. När vänsterradikaler gjorde Strindberg till sin ikon innebar det att en militant maskulinitet växte sig allt starkare. Under det nationella identitetsskapandet som pågick hade kvinnorna inom kvinnorörelsen Selma Lagerlöf som samlande namn.
Lisbeth Stenberg visar hur idéer från 1850-talet om samhället som det goda hemmet har förts fram av kvinnor, men hur det idéarvet inte har räknats som en politisk linje när historien om det svenska folkhemmet skrivits

KONSTRUKSI LISBETH SALANDER DALAM NOVEL THE GIRL WITH DRAGON TATTOO KARYA STIEG LARSSON
No full textABSTRAK
Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan konstruksi yang dibuat pengarang atas tokoh utama perempuan, Lisbeth Salander, dalam novel karya Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keberpihakan pengarang atas tokohnya perempuannya mengingat pengarang novel sendiri adalah seorang lelaki. Untuk meneliti hal di atas, Penulis menggunakan Analisis Wacana Feminis dengan menggunakan metode analisis Sara Mills. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pengarang memberikan keleluasaan pada Lisbeth Salander untuk menceritakan dirinya sendiri dan ketika dia diceritakan oleh tokoh lain, maka telah dibingkai dengan narasi-narasi positif. Di sisi lain, semua tokoh lelaki memosisikan Lisbeth pun dengan posisi sebagai rekan setara, kecuali satu tokoh yang memosisikannya sebagai subordinat. Hal di atas menunjukkan, meski pengarang seorang lelaki, ia berpihak pada Lisbeth.

The Reader in History and Letters to the Author. The case of Selma Lagerlöf and her Audience
No full textThe most common source of information about reading in history is documents written by professional readers. Authors, critics and scholars conveniently leave behind, not only traces of their reading, but complete, articulate statements and interpretations. A good example of this is the reception of Selma Lagerlöf’s authorship. Much has been written about how her work was received by reviewers, researchers, colleagues, the popular press, friends and family. But how, where and why ordinary people read and how they used her texts over the years is virtually unknown. This article is about those people, or rather their appearances through the many thousands of extant letters to Lagerlöf, kept in the National Library of Sweden. The collection of letters will be described, and theoretical and methodological issues emerging when dealing with this kind of material will be discussed. In contrast to the lack of sources useful for understanding the reader in history, the letters to Lagerlöf present an extraordinary opportunity to answer a number of questions of reading in the past
