Following the Animal
Literary transformations from human to animal have occurred in myths, folklore, fairy tales and narratives from all over the world since ancient times, and have always provided a narrative space for depictions of power, agency, and the radical nature of change. In Following the Animal, these transformations are analysed with regards to their use in modern literature from northern-most Europe, with specific attention being paid to the insights they provide regarding the human-animal relationship, both generally in the industrialized West, and against the background of more specific circumstances in the Nordic area. In three analytic chapters, focusing respectively on Swedish author August Str...

Rethinking National Literatures and the Literary Canon in Scandinavia
The literary field and canon in the Nordic countries are under constant negotiation and transformation, with various alternative literatures having evolved alongside the majority literatures of these nations in recent decades. These new phenomena, constructed around perspectives regarding language, ethnicity, sexuality, gender and social class, have been categorised as migration, minority and queer literatures. Rethinking National Literatures and the Literary Canon in Scandinavia highlights these literatures and their histories, roles and impacts on both the literary establishment and (post)modern societies in the Nordic region. It also discusses how the constructions of national literary ca...
The Palgrave Handbook of Animals and Literature
This volume is the first comprehensive guide to current research on animals, animality, and human-animal relations in literature. To reflect the history of literary animal studies to date, its primary focus is literary prose and poetry in English, while also accommodating emergent discussions of the full range of media and contexts with which literary studies engages, especially film and critical theory. User-friendly language, references, even suggestions for further readings are included to help newcomers to the field understand how it has taken shape primarily through recent decades. To further aid teachers, sections are organized by conventions of periodization, and chapters address a range of canonical and popular texts. Bookended by sections devoted to the field’s conceptual foundations and new directions, the volume is designed to set an agenda for literary animal studies for decades to come.
Animal Places
Nonhuman animals are ubiquitous to our ‘human’ societies. Interdisciplinary human/animal research has - for 50 years - drawn attention to how animals are ever-present in what we think of as human spaces and cultures. Our societies are built with animals and through all kinds of multispecies interactions. From public spaces and laboratories to homes, farms and in the ‘wilderness’; human and nonhuman animals meet to make space and place together, through webs of power relations. However, the very spaces of these interactions are not mute or passive themselves. The spaces where species meet matter, and shape human/animal relations. This book takes as its starting point the relationship ...
Att röra en värld
Den erotiska triangeln - svartsjukeintrigen där två personer strider om uppmärksamheten hos en tredje - är en välkänd formation i västerländsk dramatik och litteratur. August Strindberg var en av de författare som vid sekelskiftet 1900 gärna strukturerade intriger kring den triangulära konflikten. I avhandlingen Att röra en värld analyserar Ann-Sofie Lönngren den erotiska triangeln bestående av två män och en kvinna i sex olika verk ur Strindbergs författarskap, nämligen romanen En dåres försvarstal (1887-88) samt dramerna Fordringsägare (1888), Leka med elden (1892), Brott och brott (1898), Dödsdansen I (1901) och Till Damaskus I-III (1898-1901). Med hjälp av begrepp...
