    Curating contemporary art, the city and the flâneur: A walk through Bruges and its Triennial2022Självständigt arbete på avancerad nivå (masterexamen), 80 poäng / 120 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    Discovering the city of Bruges through the lens of its Triennial is the starting point to research the potential for contemporary art to influence one’s way of experiencing the city. Taking the case study of a still not so renowned large-scale event like the Bruges Triennial, this thesis investigates the background of this recurring event, how it started, the evolution of its curatorial process and its socio-political challenges being set, every three years, in the context of a Unesco-protected site. After providing the historical background of the city of Bruges, it evidences the ways in which the Bruges Triennial gradually adopted a flâneuristic approach to curating art and in turn encourages flânerie. This sensible way of progressing in the city, mostly via walking and based on the bodily experience, is allowing the refining of a curatorial practice concerned with generating a sensorial reading of the city and results in a curatorial experiment entitled La Dérive

    Memory in Motion: Archives, Technology, and the Social2016Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    How do new media affect the question of social memory? Social memory is usually described as enacted through ritual, language, art, architecture, and institutions ? phenomena whose persistence over time and capacity for a shared storage of the past was set in contrast to fleeting individual memory. But the question of how social memory should be understood in an age of digital computing, instant updating, and interconnection in real time, is very much up in the air. The essays in this collection discuss the new technologies of memory from a variety of perspectives that explicitly investigate their impact on the very concept of the social.

    The shifting role of the Brazilian Military since 1985: A study of changes in the civil-military relations2018Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 10 poäng / 15 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis will investigate the development of civil-military relations in Brazil since the democratization in 1985. The two most important previous studies, by Alfred Stepan and Wendy Hunter, will be presented and discussed. They where published in 1988 and 1997, respectively. There is therefore a need for a study that includes the development during the long period since these two books were published. The focus will be on three indicators, civilianization of government, how the role of the military has been defined, and military expenditures. The conclusions are that there are contradicting tendencies regarding the development of the civil-military relations, and that the strengthening of civilian institutions is paramount in order to consolidate democracy in Brazil.

    Bir Kadim Arap Metropolü San’â’2023Ingår i: Derin Tarih, Vol. 24, s. 128-133Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Today the largest and most populous city in Southern Arabia, Sana’a has been continuously inhabited for at least 2,500 years. Situated in a fertile basin over two thousand meters above sea level, the city remained economically and politically important over millennia because it sits on a major communication axis linking the mountains and rich fertile valleys of larger Yemen with the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean. Considered the ancestral heartland of the Arabs, the recognized Islamic heritage of the city allowed it in 1984 to become a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its 14-meter-tall walls surrounding the inner core of the city, a maze of over 6000 still largely intact multi-story tower houses makes Sana’a unique in the world. Its famous skyline consists of family homes that are at least five, if not eight or nine stories high. Along with these homes, the diverse Muslim population was serviced by more than 100 mosques (and associated evkaf properties) and 14 communal baths (hammams), all built before the 11th century.

    Reflective of its continued importance to the larger region, the city has seen regular additions to its main administrative and religious studies infrastructure. For instance, the main gates outsiders use to enter Sana’a, the northern Bab al-Shaub and south-facing Bab Al-Yaman, date to the first Ottoman occupation in the 16th century. The highlight of the Islamic city, however, is the Great Mosque (originally built in 633), a short walk from the Bab Al Yaman. A magnificent amalgamation of architectural styles tracing back to the period of the prophet Muhammad, the Grand Mosque’s centrality to the development of Islam as a global religion is confirmed by archeological findings on its grounds and surviving scriptures found in its walls. This includes a famous, so-called Sana’a’ palimpsest, that scholars determine to be one of the oldest Quranic manuscripts. It conjoins non-Islamic fragments with early renditions of verses pre-dating the Holy Qur’an’s codification during the Uthman caliphate. The Great Mosque remained the largest in the city until the construction of the Al Saleh Mosque by the President of a unified Yemen in 2008, Ali Abdallah Saleh.

    The survival and regular investment in refurbishing the Great Mosque points to the city’s key political and cultural role in the larger region. Along with the resulting unique urban characteristics is a corresponding migration of scholars and craftsmen over the centuries. The resulting communities drawn to the city over the ages reflects in the architectural patrimony that eventual gave each neighborhood its special connection to the diverse religious groups calling them home. This diversity of Muslim constituencies goes back to when the Prophet Muhammad sent his first delegation, led by his nephew ʿAli. The significance of ‘Ali’s delegation highlights the region’s importance to the early Muslim umma in Mecca, including the fact that Abraha, a Christian Yemeni king during the lifetime of Muhammad’s grandfather attempted to invade Mecca. More, Yemen’s Sassanian governor became an early convert to Islam, a choice many in Sana’a made after Ali’s delegation brought the Prophet’s message.

    The growth of conversions within the first decades translated into a renewed political importance of the city as key families patronized the greatest scholars of the time. The resulting migrations of Muslims seeking an Islamic education there, including ʿAbd al-Razzāḳ b. Hammām b. Nāfī, (b.744-d. 827), apparently of Persian origin, correspond with the Sana’a’s incorporation into the imperial ambitions of most of the great Arab Muslim medieval states. During these occupations by empires originating in Egypt or Syria, a critical role of Sana’a’s Muslim scholars played in shaping the larger Islamic world included their outward migration, spreading various Sufi and early Shi’a traditions to the larger Indian Ocean. Already during the reign of the Umayyad Caliph al-Muʿawiyya, for instance, Yemen would be divided into two regions with the north centered around Sanaʿa. Within this administrative frame, the city’s political and economic elite, the primary patrons of Ismaili, Zaydi and Shafi’ scholarly traditions, thrived. This continued during the transition to the Abbasid caliphate and by the mid-9th century, a local dynasty of the Yufirids (847-997) took control of the neighboring highlands, helping incubate Sana’a even further from the larger doctrinal tensions experienced in the rest of the Arab Muslim world.

    At the beginning of the 10th century, the leader Yahya ibn al-Husayn established a Zaydi imamate in the northern highlands of Yemen that resulted in centuries of co-habitation between Zaydi scholars-cum-political leaders and outside powers. With the incorporation of Sana’a by the Fatimids (1047-1099), the sultans of Hamdan (1099-1173), the Ayyubids (1173-1230) and then the Rasulids (1230-1381) all accommodated the thriving Muslim diversity that remained in the city. Indeed, during the occupation of Fatimid Egypt large numbers of Ismailis settled in Yemen contributing to a sharp codification of distinctive Shi’a traditions that lasted until the middle of the 15th century, an era when Sana’a was directly administered by Zaydi imams. By the time of the first Ottoman occupation in the mid-16th century, Sana’a established itself as the primary vehicle for the Shiʿa Zaydi legalism (entirely detached from the emerging Twelver Imamiyyah Shiism that was the Safavid Empire’s official religion), one that cohabitated with Shafiʿi Sunnis to produce a dynamic society impervious to the sectarianism afflicting Yemen today.  

    Still a thriving metropolis by the 16th century, larger Yemen’s importance to the global economy made securing political accommodation from Sana’a’s cultural and political elites essential for representatives of the Dutch, Portuguese, Mamluk and then Ottoman states. This helped once the Ottomans withdrew in 1630 due the rebellion of the Zaydi Al-Mansur al-Qasim for Sana'a to become the seat of an independent Imamate that ushered in a long period of prosperity for the city’s inhabitants. This is best reflected in the quality and quantity of buildings from that time. Indeed, most of the architecture still standing in the city dates from this period, suggesting a deeply rooted society with family networks assuring Sana’a’s diverse Islamic heritage continued well into the twentieth century. Among the most famous scholars to emerge from this period was al-Shawkani (1759–1834).

    Unfortunately, much of the city’s historic core has been overwhelmed by modernization beginning in the 1970s, a period after the decade-long war that began with the overthrow of the last Zaydi Imam from this era. Following a pattern of urban and demographic sprawl seen elsewhere in the world, the city’s population grew from about 55,000 in 1970 (more or less the same number of inhabitants during the second period of Ottoman administration that lasted from 1872 to 1918) to 1.7 million by 2004. Accounting for this sprawl was the influx of uprooted peasants from the countryside impacted by frequent violence in South Arabia. The resulting demographic expansion of the city well beyond its historic limits has change the religious function of the city.

    The city’s limited natural resources—especially water and space for movement—shapes the sectarianism recognized since the 1980s. Despite the earlier noted tradition of ecumenical co-existence, the first wave of Yemenis moving to Saudi Arabia in search for work converted to their Saudi host’s Hanbali values. Their acquired intolerance thanks to the issuance of fatwas by Saudi-backed communal leaders like Muqbil bin Hadi al-Wadi'i led to open conflict in Yemen after Riyadh deported over a million Yemenis in 1991 because of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. With Yemen’s explosion of Saudi-backed “jihadism” mediated by the expansion of Muslim Brotherhood affiliated scholars like Abdul Majid al-Zindani, Sana’a became a city internally divided by competing networks of mutually hostile Muslim communities.

    Crucially, the expansion of influence of some so-called Salafist groups by the late 1990s would serve the Yemeni government in a series of attempts to subdue political rivals both within and beyond the city. Known as the civil wars between the government of Ali Abdallah Saleh and former leaders of South Yemen in 1994 and the Sa’adah Wars that lasted throughout the 2000s, the state increasingly pitted inhabitants of the city against each other along sectarian lines. This impacted who lived in the city.

    Because of growing sectarianism backed by the Yemeni state, old Sana’a families abandoned their houses in the historic center, leading to a shift of most of the shopping, educational, entertainment, banking, and government services beyond the old city walls. Lower income Yemenis moved into the old city, making conditions deteriorate further. Over the course of these devastating internal conflicts, the Saleh government experimented with dividing the administrative power of the city to so-called Local Councils in 2002. According to the Saleh government, these councils would offer a stabilizing mechanism that could supplant the authority of the government over now massive neighborhoods emerging since the waves of migration to the city. Negotiated at a time of duress, Saleh’s experimentation with allowing political parties formally displaying Islamic social and cultural agendas to thrive helped the national government contain the growing presence of refugees from the Zaydi regions north of Sana’a. The government’s offer to transfer some administrative and financial functions over to friendly Salafist political parties thus proved a tactic aimed protect the regime from opposition. Unfortunately, the allocation of resources and tax revenue to political parties allied with the state denied many inhabitants basic services.

    While in theory the changes Saleh’s government would enable the local population to elect their own representatives, it became clear these representatives would also need to secure the approval their foreign government patrons. As such, the decentralization heralded as a model for Yemen’s future strengthened the rivalries between Qatari, Saudi, and Emirati supported religious parties and left Zaydi and secular parties out. The lack of a clear definition of hierarchical administrative prerogatives along with irregular attempts by Yemeni religious leaders to contribute a sectarian tenor to Yemen’s political debates led to a clash of interests and a sharpening of the doctrinal differences Saleh’s government sought. Despite the explicit attempts at pitting “Sunni” parties against Saleh’s Zaydi rivals, some prominent judges like Mohammed bin Ismail al-Amrani, himself followed by millions, issued a fatwa commanding his Sunni audience “not to consider the Shiites astray of Islam.”

    To no avail. By 2010, the regime pitting rival Muslim traditions led to months of street protests that mirrored the larger “Arab Spring.” In time, once allied parties, including ones led by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Abdullah ibn al-Ahmar, turned on Saleh’s government. The resulting violence led the United States in 2012 to impose an “interim” government led by a weak Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, a member of Saleh’s political General People’s Congress party. Undergirding this interim government was the role of the Qatari-backed Yemeni Congregation for Reform, or Islah, party and its charismatic representative, Tawakkal Karman. She would share the Nobel Prize in 2011 in recognition of her efforts against the Saleh regime and role in supporting the Hadi government. Despite this support, the Islamist alliance around the Islah leadership faced opposition from various Saudi-backed “Jihadists” while the large number of Zaydis who settled in Sana’a organized a broader coalition known as Ansarallah (Partisans of God). The subsequent inability of the Hadi/Islah interim government to accommodate elements of the population who also opposed the Saleh regime ultimately resulted in first low-scale violence targeting leading Zaydi personalities and then the removal of the interim government from its offices in Sana’a in late 2014 by Ansarallah and its most prominent Zaydi leaders, known as the “Houthis.” Hadi’s offence was introducing IMF and US supported economic and political “reforms” that legally required Yemen’s parliament to approve. In essence, Ansarallah and their broad coalition of supporters decreed that no further modifications of Yemen’s economic relations to the larger world could happen before a new parliament was elected. The resulting war initiated by a coalition organized by the Obama administration to expel Ansarallah from Sana’a had the initial support from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. Failing a quick victory, however, the result of the war has been hundreds of thousands of casualties and the isolation of Sana’a’s Ansarallah administration and its inhabitants from the rest of the world.

    Abstract [en]

    In the middle of a transitional era, the 19th-century Eastern Mediterranean became the center of a new “security culture” emerging among the Great Powers during the rise and fall of Napoleon. By integrating this security studies perspective within a well-known history, Özavcı (Utrecht Univ., the Netherlands) offers a provocative challenge to how scholars will read events in larger Europe after the Congress of Vienna. Drawing from research in many underused archives, Özavcı provides a neatly organized, methodologically innovative account of the European Powers' emerging concerns as the Ottoman Empire transformed during its critical Tanzimat era. The book’s analysis of economic and military interactions in Egypt, Greece, and larger Syria (Mount Lebanon) during this crucial transitional period will set new standards in how future scholars read diplomatic relations in the larger European context. Beyond changing how scholars may study European diplomatic relations moving forward, Dangerous Gifts offers insights into the evolution of the modern Ottoman state. As such, this book will quickly become essential reading for graduate students in Middle Eastern studies and scholars of the Ottoman Empire more generally who wish to understand the fluid, dynamic international political crises of the so-called Eastern Question.

    Exceptionally normal (post-)Ottomans: How failure shaped the futures of Balkan heroes2022Ingår i: Global Biographies: Lived History as Method / [ed] Laura Almagor; Gunvor Simonsen; Haakon A. Ikonomou, Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2022, s. 124-142Kapitel i bok, del av antologi (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Isa Blumi provides us with a sort of anti-biography of Fan S. Noli, a praised national hero in Albanian historiography. Blumi demonstrates that Noli was in fact the result of Tosk-Albanian elite networks, supportive of the Ottoman Empire. This is an insight that Blumi obtains by tracing Noli’s trajectory beyond Albania to Cairo, Alexandria and Boston in the United States. By dislocating Noli, and paying close attention to those around him, Blumi demonstrates that Noli was – as Blumi also puts it – exceptionally normal. He is better understood, so to speak, as a fairly normal member of networks whose representatives were by no means as sure of their support of and membership in future nations as historians would like them to have been.

    In search of greater Syria: The History and Politics of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party2023Ingår i: ChoiceReviews, ISSN 0009-4978, Vol. 61, nr 3Artikel, recension (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    A mainstay in Lebanese party politics since the 1940s and a major ally of nationalist Syrians since 1932, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) has been misplaced in Western analysis until Solomon’s recent book. Any observant visitor to west Beirut will recognize SSNP’s presence by way of its party flags and commemorative posters. Heralding the personal sacrifices of members during the (re)united leftist resistance against Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the 1980s, the omnipresence of the party's past role in Lebanon’s ideological battles justifies Solomon’s ten chapters. Partly a current affairs study but more a history of the party’s evolution from a spirited intellectual group of mostly Syrian migrants based in Brazil, this is a needed analysis of a dynamic group pursuing political change even through assassination and suicide attacks against occupying Israel forces. As such, its ideological interweaving with reactions to larger regional transformations offers rich material that is handled with analytical clarity. While a decent history of the party and its larger regional context, it is the author’s interviews with members currently struggling to remain relevant in contemporary Lebanese politics as they await the outcome of war in Syria that proves unique. This book should be required for advanced students navigating the modern history of the Levant. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty.

    Iraqi ties to Yemen’s demise: Complicating the ‘Arab Cold War’ in South Arabia2022Ingår i: Journal of Contemporary Iraq & the Arab World, ISSN 2515-8538, Vol. 16, nr 3, s. 235-254Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The Cold War justifiably receives attention from scholars exploring interstate relations in the Middle East. While competition between the major nuclear powersinvariably contributed to how regional politics transpired in the twentieth century,there may be much that is missing from the narrative adapting such a focus onexternal factors. This article provides a detailed analysis of intraregional relationsthat are informed by domestic, intra-Arab concerns. With special focus on theevolving relations between Iraq and Yemen over the course of the 1920–90 period,it is possible to argue for a new approach to the study of the Middle East and itsrelationship to the larger world during the Cold War. Domestic concerns prove asmuch an animating force in global affairs as those based in British, American and/or Soviet Bloc circles usually foregrounded.

    Losing Istanbul: Arab-Ottoman imperialists and the end of empire2023Ingår i: ChoiceReviews, ISSN 0009-4978, Vol. 61, nr 3Artikel, recension (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Recovering a forgotten element of Sultan Abdul Hamid II's reign, which ended abruptly in 1909 when the coalition of reactionaries on which his power depended collapsed, Minawi (Cornell Univ.) offers an invaluable discovery: a contingent of Arab-Ottoman loyalists. The 1908–09 coup against Abdul Hamid uprooted a number of Arabic-speaking bureaucrats whose careers had been made through the Ottoman Empire's rule over their homelands in the Levant. Mobilizing an “experiential history” of some of these prominent Arab allies entrenched in Istanbul's bureaucracy, Minawi challenges the anachronistic “separatism” that many scholars claim Arab families in the region demanded. The book's retelling of the last 20 years of Ottoman collapse creatively mobilizes the private experiences of two men, Sadik al-Mu'ayyad (d. 1910) and his uncle Shafiq al-Mu'ayyad (d. 1916), both of whom recognized the possibilities of an inclusive, geographically vast Ottoman state. Through their personal experiences, Minawi captures a compelling narrative about the systemic challenges this last generation of “Arab-Ottoman imperialists” faced. This book sheds much-needed light on hitherto ignored interpersonal dynamics that escaped the caustic identity politics historians long claimed had destroyed the empire. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers through faculty.

    Places of mind: a life of Edward Said2022Ingår i: ChoiceReviews, ISSN 0009-4978, Vol. 59, nr 7Artikel, recension (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Writing with insight and originality about the late Edward Said is no easy task. As both an icon and a lightning rod for a variety of scholars thinking and writing about Europe’s relationship with the larger world, the range and complexity of Said’s persona and ideological contributions to postcolonial studies seem to be already well known. Brennan’s investment in telling Said’s story anew provides an eye-opening gem that reveals what past scholarship on the Princeton-trained scholar of Palestinian heritage, who studied European literature and culture, overlooks. A former student of Said, Brennan (Univ. of Minnesota) draws on testimonies of adversaries and loving admirers alike, close members of Said's family, and even FBI files to reveal Said's impact from his position at Columbia University on events in his native Middle East and on Western politics. In this sympathetic biography, Brennan’s quest to afford more complexity to the already robust story around Said's many intellectual and political battles proves intriguing and illuminating. Speculations as to the best tools to understand such a momentous figure—poetry instead of fiction—reveal much about the author’s engagement with a world his professor forged for him through his lessons. Rewarding, fresh insights await readers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers and advanced undergraduates through faculty

    Darke, an independent scholar, regularly contributes to popular scholarship catering to public interest in the early modern Ottoman Empire. With a focus on the cultural heritage of the tumults that brought Ottoman authority to vast areas of Southeast Europe, the Black Sea and its hinterlands, and the entire Eastern Mediterranean, Darke’s presentation of the emblems of Ottoman cultural amalgamation has become her forte. In this latest offering, Darke’s soft empiricism on a wide range of cultural themes covered by chapters on food, music, trade, and of course architecture (by way of the monumental projects associated with this heyday of imperial power) is complimented by her heavy use of beautiful illustrations. This format offers an appealing accounting of a supposed multicultural Ottoman psyche for the target audience. Through iterations of cosmopolitan Ottoman architecture, Darke identifies this fluid society's deep investment in knowledge production, extending from the earliest early modern societies' administrations of vaccinations to advances in drawing accurate maps used by the larger world. As such, Darke’s latest volume is another celebration of an Ottoman Empire that is finally accepted for the cultural fluidity that reflects the successful integration of the vast diversity of its peoples. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers and lower-division undergraduates.

    Understanding and teaching the modern Middle East2021Ingår i: ChoiceReviews, ISSN 0009-4978, Vol. 59, nr 3Artikel, recension (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    In response to an enduring struggle to introduce students in the US to new perspectives on the Middle East, this book provides a useful challenge to old Orientalist frameworks that have previously informed the study of the region. Aiming to provide tools for teachers to offer their students new interpretations, this volume introduces a range of themes that give voice to a diversity of peoples of the region and correct many previous misperceptions. As such, it can be used to help instructors at both the high-school level and in introductory university courses. Giving its readers a new, complex reinterpretation of the Middle East that draws on the expertise of many contributors, the essays help teachers integrate the latest scholarly trends in their corrective lessons to students at all levels. Using sources as teaching tools, each chapter confronts controversial themes, including the Iranian Revolution and the war on terror, in a manner that helps American students navigate history in new, ethical ways. A vital pedagogical tool for classrooms, this volume is strongly recommended for adoption by instructors at the university and high-school levels who are unfamiliar with the region and looking to learn more.

    Japanese and Korean collaboration in creating K-pop: Iz One, TWICE and K-pop spaces in Tokyo2023Ingår i: East Asian Journal of Popular Culture, ISSN 2051-7084Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    K-pop groups and artists have been localised to appeal to the lucrative Japanese market since the early 2000s. However, the two successful girl groups TWICE and Iz One exhibit a new direction in K-pop, members of both Korean and Japanese origin within the same groups. By drawing upon the literature on localisation strategies and contentious Japan–Korea relations, ethnographic fieldwork and media sources, this article examines two locations in Tokyo in which K-pop consumption takes place. Contrary to the polarisation tendencies that signify current Japan–Korea relations in the political realm, the gendered K-pop spaces and Japan/Korea collaborations such as Iz One signify benign hybridity and localisation.

    Contemporary Collapse: New Narratives of the End: An Introduction2023Ingår i: Ecozona, ISSN 2171-9594, E-ISSN 2171-9594, Vol. 14, nr 2, s. 1-5Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    This special issue takes seriously the idea that “global climate change is [...] catastrophic for the human imaginary” (Colebrook 10) and focuses on contemporary narratives that nevertheless seek to imagine the end of the world. It includes articles that explore how these narratives question the significance of the human in a collapsingworld, how this resonates with current issues in ecocriticism and the environmental humanities and allows for an articulation of environmental scholarship with the contributions of collapse and apocalypse studies. The contributions to this special issue investigate a posthuman aesthetics in contemporary literature, which builds on,but mostly shifts Western and anthropocentric conceptions of collapse,and diverges from the apocalyptic tradition. In that sense, this special topic considers the posthumusalong with the posthuman, to think about what happens after death, where the posthumusrenegotiates the assemblage of chains of life between animals, plants and humans (Derrida 285). The issue also includes essays that engage with ethical concerns of apocalyptic narratives, as well as with their epistemological implications, where the presence or absence of human and nonhuman traces determines a specific knowledge and way of knowing in a collapsing world.

    Introduction2023Ingår i: Nordic and Baltic Perspectives in Canadian Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Northern Spaces Narratives / [ed] Sara Bédard-Goulet; Christophe Premat, Stockholm: Stockholm University Press, 2023, s. 1-16Kapitel i bok, del av antologi (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    What is the purpose of Canadian Studies? This was the question that was investigated in 1975 by the Commission of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada to understand how the government and the universities could work together to strengthen a better understanding of the diversity of cultures in this country. At that time, the notion of area studies began to raise certain attention among scholars and for the government these studies would contribute to disseminating knowledge on the specificities of Canada. Most of this report is about the self-knowledge of Canada which means the way the Canadian universities and colleges covered the question of Canadian identity from a multidisciplinary perspective. There is also a section devoted to Canadian Studies abroad that updates some of the conclusions of the Massey Commission in 1951 on ‘the projection of Canada abroad’ (Symons, 1975, p. 246) which is one of the most important report on the relation between Canadian identity and culture.

    Nordic and Baltic Perspectives in Canadian Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Northern Spaces Narratives2023Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The challenge of this book in Open Access is to go beyond the realm of cultural diplomacy when it comes to outlining Canadian studies. Based on renewed research into the imaginary of the North, the book explores transnordic narrative spaces between Canada, the Nordic countries and the Baltic states.

    Although the book takes cultural studies as its theoretical basis, opposing a diplomatic perspective and arguing that there is a specificity to Canadian culture that requires the attention of the academic world, each chapter draws on theories and methods specific to the various fields of the humanities and social sciences concerned with addressing the narratives (understood in a broad sense and including visual narratives) of this northern space.

    Climate Crimes: Climate change and deforestation: a case-study of state-corporate crime in Peru2017Självständigt arbete på avancerad nivå (masterexamen), 20 poäng / 30 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    During the last decades, climate change studies have been focusing more intensely on its anthopocenic essence, as the consequence of production and consumption patterns that require the intensive exploitation of the environment. In line with this school of thought, and new generations of studies on environmental crime, this work aims to present the environmentally and climate-related issues arising from land degradation in the Peruvian Amazon; focusing on those casual mechanisms developed from the collusion between Peruvian-economic policies and new private actors such as transnational corporations (TNCs). Relying on the assumption that: the processes moving the issue of climate change overcome the global space, and can be observed from regional, national or local point of view; this work's purpose is to analyze how a single country as Peru, currently considered of low ecological footprint, could, by means of the definition of national laws (environmentally and economic-related) burden climate change. The analysis focuses on a single case-study identified with the territory within the Northern Ucayali and Southern Loreto regions in Peru, and builds on the theory of state-corporate crime developed in the 1990s by Ronald C. Kramer and Raymond J. Michalowski to define the role of state-corporate relationships in the production of social harms. To show how this relationship is today shaping the globally spread issue of climate change, the analysis of the palm oil industry in Ucayali is presented as main example of a broader phenomenon of transgression and partnership between private and public spheres in Peru. In this optic, the purpose is to give further contributions to the studies of climate change as state-corporate crime, focusing on the analysis of those territory, as the Amazon, whose preservation has been identified as mayor tool against global warming and which is instead harmed by the relation between private and governments interests.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study - Actors, costumes and agreements - is to highlight an almost forgotten part of the history of theatre costume and theatre history.  During at least two hundred years actors in Sweden were expected to contribute to the performance by their costumes. The study is divided into three parts: agreements, memoirs and conversation. Nine agreements between theatres and actors from 1778 to 1971 will be analyzed with focus on costumes. What do they express about the period, fashion and repertoire, audience? The theatres demand of the actors could be very detailed and shifting. Three memoire books and conversation with seven actors represent the actors view. Questions arise about actors poor economy, theatre culture and gender. The study will also show periods with connection between fashion and theatre costume.

    Exploring the Intersections of Fashion, Film, and Media2018Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Since the turn of the twentieth century, the film industry has played a key role in the promotion and representation of fashion. Likewise, fashion’s mediated character through newsreels, television, newspapers, magazines, photography, and even paintings has facilitated the study of costume and dress history. Film scholars have dedicated efforts to the study of fashion, film, and media, focusing mostly but not exclusively on matters of representation through costume design. Significant contributions from scholars like Jane Gaines, Stella Bruzzi, Tamar Jeffers McDonald, and Adrienne Munich among others have paved the way for an interdisciplinary approach to study fashion from a film and media perspective and shaped a multitude of intercultural links between cinema and other media practices. Far from being an exhausted topic, however, the intersections between the fashion and film industries offer a vast potential that is increasingly becoming of interest to early career scholars around the globe. This special issue seeks to widen the existing research network, presenting articles from postgraduate students and early career researchers from different background with a dedicated interest in researching the intersections between fashion, film, and media. These papers provide an overview of the ways in which these areas of study overlap and intertwine.

    Fashion on the red carpet: A history of the Oscars, fashion and globalisation2021Bok (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The Academy Awards’ red-carpet is the most prominent fashion show in media culture. Fashion on the Red Carpet investigates the historical liaison between Hollywood and fashion institutions, to describe how public relations campaigns and the media articulate fashion discourses around the Oscars. The power-shift towards television, the emergence of celebrity culture, the post-war reactivation of transatlantic trade, the growth of fashion journalism, and the increasing circulation of designer names in the media, are converging factors leading to the institutionalisation of the red-carpet as a fashion event in its own right.Departing from archival sources, and tracing discourses of fashion, stardom, and celebrity surrounding Hollywood and the Oscars, this fascinating book explains how the red-carpet became a marquee for the endorsement of high-end fashion brands.

    Abstract [sv]

    I den här artikeln presenteras flera särdrag gällande Norden som föreställningsvärld i en fallstudie om litterär reception. Korpusen består av svenska tidsningsartiklar relaterade till franskspråkig litteratur mellan 2010 och 2014. Mot bakgrund av den senaste forskningen om borealism (Briens 2018) och om föreställningar om Norden (Chartier 2018) undersöks den lokala och inhemska diskursen om Norden för att definiera dess egenskaper, sammansättning och funktioner. Baserat på flera representativa fall av mottagande av franskspråkiga författare i svensk press, beskrivs olika typer av mekanismer samt den interaktion som sker när den interna och lokala diskursen sammanflätas med den franskspråkiga författarens externa diskurs. Resultaten gör det möjligt att vidare precisera hur sammanflätningen av exogena och endogena diskurser präglar den interna diskursen i Norden. Studien kommer fram till en karaktärisering av tre olika modaliteter i den interna diskursen om Norden. För att ytterligare belysa komplexiteten i borealismens diskurser utvecklas begreppet exogen transnationell diskurs.

    Le Québec, « un pays fermé et difficile d’accès » ?: L’exportation des écrivains classiques de la littérature québécoise ou les avatars du circuit de la circulation transnationale2018Ingår i: Revue nordique des études francophones, ISSN 2003-0401, Vol. 1, nr 1, s. 18-35Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [fr]

    Dans cette étude de réception transnationale consacrée aux écrivains classiques de la littérature québécoise entre 1980 et 2015, l’auteur étudie, en particulier, trois vecteurs de transmission que sont la traduction, la diffusion en bibliothèque et la réception journalistique afin d’examiner les modalités singulières de la médiation des littératures francophones en Suède à partir du cas du Québec. L’exposé prend son point de départ dans un corpus de 28 auteurs classiques du Québec. Cette contribution s’inscrit dans le cadre des études sociologiques du fait littéraire en se servant des modèles de pensée d’Espagne (sur les transferts culturels), de Mani (sur la migration bibliographique) et de Viala (sur la notion de canon et des classiques). Finalement, cette recherche aboutit à valider le concept de triple alliance développé par Viala et signale l’extinction en cours des écrivains classiques de la littérature québécoise dans le paysage suédois en rediscutant la question de l’œuvre classique. En effet, si la traduction de ces oeuvres est réduite et quasi inexistante et si la diffusion en bibliothèques touche un public de lecteurs restreint, les représentations véhiculées par la presse suédoise entre 1980 et 2015 ne font que renforcer l’accent d’exclusivité, d’altérité et d’inaccessibilité de la littérature québécoise. Toutefois, l’étude de réception a montré l’importance d’une nouvelle littérature québécoise : la littérature migrante. En fin d’article, l’auteur lance l’hypothèse suivant laquelle les écrivains classiques d’une littérature francophone courrent peut-être le risque de tomber encore plus vite dans l’oubli que les auteurs contemporains de cette même littérature. L’étude tendrait aussi à confirmer, à la suite de Melançon (2004) et Chartier (2000), la difficulté de définir une liste de classiques québécois.

    Exhibiting the East: An Analysis of Representations of Pacific Asia in Three Exhibitions in Stockholm2023Självständigt arbete på avancerad nivå (masterexamen), 20 poäng / 30 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis is a study of representations of Pacific Asia in exhibitions in Stockholm. In the Swedish culture and art sphere, a public discussion surrounding Asia is conspicuously absent even though there are significant amounts of residents in Sweden with an Asian background. The thesis analyses three selected exhibitions: Korea Gallery at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Dreamers’ Quay, Dreamers’ Key at Bonniers Konsthall, and From dying to living at Moderna Museet. The material consists of field observations, exhibition catalogs, handouts, wall texts, and interviews with the involved curators alongside with the exhibitions themselves. The thesis aims to initiate a critical discussion around the representations of the so-called “Other” and the implications of curatorial approaches in these exhibitions that primarily revolve around Asian themes with the help of the following research questions: 1) How is Asia portrayed and represented in each exhibition?; 2) What perception of Asia and Asianness is conveyed through the exhibitions as well as by the way of other related material?; and 3) How is the curatorial approach to the exhibitions with ethnographic themes revolving around Asianness? The qualitative case studies assess both the content and visuals of the exhibitions and the preparation processes of the exhibitions, and theoretically, they are informed by Stuart Hall’s theory of representation as well as Hal Foster’s and Miwon Kwon’s writings on the artist as ethnographer. Through an examination of the three case exhibitions, the thesis finds that representations of Asia are varied and have benefited from extensive curatorial efforts but show occasional weaknesses in terms of displaying the Other. The thesis contributes to a better understanding of representations of Asia in exhibitions in Sweden and hopefully paves the way for future research of this kind.

    We Call upon the Author: Contemporary Biofiction and Fyodor Dostoevsky2021Doktorsavhandling, monografi (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis studies fictional representations of Fyodor Dostoevsky in contemporary biofiction. The aim of the study is to present an intermedial theoretical framework for biofiction, a genre defined as fictional biographical and often metafictional narratives in which a biographical subject serves as the focal point for the story or plays a role integral to the narrative. Drawing on contributions from prior studies within different areas—biopics, the biographical novel, intermediality, transmedial narratology—the thesis identifies the most salient tenets of an increasingly important and ubiquitous genre—its fictional, intermedial, and metafictional properties—to suggest a medium-spanning definition. From this intermedial definition of the genre, it is suggested that biofiction studies should move beyond medium-specific analysis. By situating the genre firmly within the realm of fiction, the thesis underlines the fact that it is exactly the fictional element that allows the genre to open up important ways to engage with a certain biographical subject. Overall, the biofiction definition presented in the thesis is inspired by Jacques Derrida’s différance.

    Arguing that contemporary biofiction arose from the larger aporetic shift in theory and fiction in the 1960s, which was directed toward various presuppositions undergirding epistemological, metaphysical, and ontological projects, it is contended that biofiction fictionalizes subjects to engage with and reassess the assumptions that suffuse our understanding of the subject. From their metafictional perspective, biofictions also employ subjects for various purposes to interrogate contemporary issues. Biofictions are thus turned toward both a historical moment and its own contemporary context. Buttressed by the intermedial perspective, it is argued that biofictions often employ sustained intermedial strategies—for instance, intermedial references and formal imitation—to engage not only with artistic subjects such as Dostoevsky and their work but also with the premises of creating art.

    The thesis centers on five Dostoevsky biofictions within film and literature: Aleksandr Zarkhi’s biopic Twenty-Six Days from the Life of Dostoevsky (1980), Leonid Tsypkin’s novel Summer in Baden-Baden (1982), J. M. Coetzee’s novel The Master of Petersburg (1994), Lara Vapnyar’s novel Memoirs of a Muse (2006), and Vladimir Khotinenko’s television series Dostoevsky (2010). As contemporary biofictions, these fictional representations of Dostoevsky were all produced or written in the wake of the aforementioned aporetic shift and therefore comprise examples of the reflexive and metacritical form of biofiction that is discussed in the thesis. The inclusion of Dostoevsky biofictions is, in part, connected with the various critical perceptions of the writer; it is maintained that biofictions such as those analyzed in the thesis proffer new readings of issues that have been overlooked or have not received due attention, such as how Dostoevsky engaged with and augmented the rivalry polemics of his day; the ways in which his conceptualization of Russian identity rested as much on inclusion as exclusion; how Dostoevsky has been employed to propagate certain models of the muse, the genius, and canonicity; and how, in today’s Russia, the writer is employed to embody and express the hyperreal politics of Vladimir Putin’s administration.
