Jag har torkat nog många golv : en biografi om Maja Ekelöf
"En jävla skurhink!" 1970 vinner en okänd 52-årig städerska Rabén & Sjögrens stora romantävling med Rapport från en skurhink, en dagbok från en hård låglönevardag. Maja Ekelöf får komma till Stockholm och ta emot priset från den tidens stora: Astrid Lindgren, Lars Gyllensten och Alva Myrdal. Över en natt har städerskan och fembarnsmamman från Karlskoga blivit en rikskändis. Plötsligt är hon en del av Sveriges politiskt engagerade kulturetablissemang. Alla vill ha med henne: Grupp 8, FNL, KFML(r), hon valkampanjar med Sven Wollter och Fred Åkerström och åker på kurser i DDR. Men berättelsen om Maja Ekelöf är inte bara en framgångssaga. Hon ser igenom omgivningens ...
Swedish Women's Writing 1850-1995
Provides a survey of women's writing in Sweden, from the beginnings of the struggle for emancipation in the 1850s to the present day. These writers are seen within the political, cultural and economic context of women's lives. Modern critical currents are also assessed and Swedish feminist criticism is considered alongside the French and American traditions.
A Cinema of Obsession
Mai Elizabeth Zetterling (1925–94) is among the most exceptional postwar female filmmakers. Born in Sweden, she lived in England and France for most of her life, making her directorial debut in 1964 with the Swedish art film Loving Couples after a fraught transition from working in front of the camera as a successful actress. Critics have compared her work to that of Ingmar Bergman, Luis Buñuel, and Federico Fellini, but Zetterling had a distinct style—alternately radical and reactionary—that straddled the gendered divide between high art and mass culture. Tackling themes of sexuality, isolation, and creativity, her documentaries, short and feature films, and television works are visu...

Modern Swedish Prose in Translation
Modern Swedish Prose in Translation was first published in 1979. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. These excerpts from Swedish prose works - mostly novels - reflect major shifts in mood and style in the 25 years since 1950. Editor Karl Erik Lagerlof traces cultural and political developments in Sweden from the post-World War II era, when writers felt themselves in a world devoid of political meaning and rejected realism as a literary mode, down to the intensely political years of the Vietnam era. The selections in this anthology range from the anti-ideological works of the postwar years to recent documentary methods influenced by Marxism, structuralism, and a renewed political consciousness.
Documentarism in Scandinavian Literature
Documentary literature became an international phenomenon on the cultural and political scene in the 1960s and 1970s. From the American "New Journalism" in works by such writers as Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe to the German "Industriereportagen" by Gunther Wallraff and others, documentarism presented a variety of controversial interplays between facts and fiction labeled as faction, ' fables of fact' or the like. Scandinavian literature made important and unique contributions to this international movement, and "Documentarism in Scandinavian Literature" is the first comprehensive volume ever published on the historical significance and future implications of these Nordic dimensions of documen...
