Boken behandlar ett begrepp som under de senaste decennierna fått en allt viktigare plats i humanistisk forskning: Materialitet. Den vänder sig till studenter i konstvetenskap och andra bildtolkande vetenskaper och är avsedd som en introduktion till materialitet som teoretiskt begrepp och till dess tillämpbarhet vid analyser och tolkningar. Efter en inledande introduktion följer sex kapitel som vart och ett prövar begreppet mot ett konkret konstvetenskapligt studieobjekt. Exemplen, valda utifrån författarnas forskarexpertis, spänner från 1600-talet till modern tid och innefattar måleri, skulptur, arkitektur, konsthantverk och vad som brukar benämnas etnografika.

Le système littéraire francophone constitue un ensemble littéraire diversifié mais sa visibilité en est encore très réduite. Les littératures francophones sont indéniablement filtrées, sévèrement sélectionnées, partiellement commentées et irrévocablement réduites à une poignée d’écrivains ou d’œuvres en circulation lorsqu’on examine le transfert des littératures francophones vers le centre parisien. Mais, quelles sont les pratiques à l’œuvre dans le transfert littéraire des littératures francophones vers la périphérie? La présente étude prend son point de départ dans la circulation de la littérature entre périphéries et étudie les échanges entre les espaces littéraires francophones et l’espace littéraire scandinave semi-périphérique non francophone, plus spécifiquement la Suède. En procédant à l’examen du transfert littéraire à trois niveaux différents (macro-, méso- et microscopique), ce livre analyse les flux de traduction et de réception, les pratiques des médiateurs (journalistes et traducteurs) et la critique métalittéraire. En conclusion, cette étude réussit à dégager un ensemble de pratiques de sélection, de médiation et de lecture à travers lesquelles la Suède a su négocier d’une part son propre positionnement et, de l’autre, celui des littératures francophones et inévitablement celui de l’Hexagone.

What can artists learn from theatre scholars when it comes to performing historical works on stage today? What can theatre scholars learn from today’s artists when it comes to understanding the works and practices of the past? How is the experience of modern spectators affected by attending performances in historic theatres? And how, aesthetically, do we experience the reconstruction of productions from the remote past?
The essays in this anthology try to answer these questions by initiating a dialogue between academic and artistic research. They reflect a desire to develop and expand the methods traditionally used by theatre historians, presenting a variety of angles on today’s performances in historic theatres and on today’s attempts to revive theatrical practices of the past.
Book DetailsI denna bok analyseras olika idéer om vad som utgör den goda barndomen under den tidsperiod som föreslagits få namnet antropocen: människans epok. Med utgångspunkt i en kritisk tradition och utifrån ett fokus på hur vuxenvärlden skapar önskvärda barndomar ställer författaren frågan om vilka ideala barndomar som framträder och vilka barn som ges plats i antropocen. Författaren argumenterar för vikten av vuxenvärldens roll och ansvar i den antropocena epoken och att barns liv och tillvaro bör få utgöra startpunkten för beslutsfattande och politik för klimat och miljö.

This volume deals with the pragmatic dimension of negations and is oriented towards empirical studies of negatives’ meanings and functions in media and public discourses.
By bringing together scholars from different countries, with studies on different languages this volume aims to shed light and contribute to new knowledge about the forms and functionality of negation as an universal phenomenon. Linguists and pragmaticiens generally agree that the use of negatives escapes logic and pure semantic description and is therefore best analysed with tools from cognitive and pragmatic theories.
Based on hypotheses within pragmatics, semantics and discourse analysis, the main assumption is here that forms of expressing negatives emerge and adjust constantly and in accordance with the cultural domain and the social setting of their appearance. This is why this volume focuses on the functions of negative expressions in specific domains and types of discourses.

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to numerical modelling of the ocean and the atmosphere. It originates from courses given at Stockholm University and is intended to serve as a textbook for students in meteorology and oceanography with a background in mathematics and physics.
Focus is on numerical schemes for the most commonly used equations in oceanography and meteorology as well as on the stability, precision and other properties of these schemes. Simple equations capturing the properties of the primitive equations employed in models of the ocean and atmosphere will be used.

August Strindberg (1849–1912) kept a diary from February 1896 in Paris until the summer of 1908 in Stockholm. He referred to his diary from this period as his Occult Diary and used it to help him decipher the world as he experienced it. He read and reread his own notations, adding new interpretations, and deleting others. He also drew on the diary as material for creative expression, transforming isolated events and observations into groundbreaking works of literature.
The Occult Diary is published here in its entirety in English translation for the first time, in a final revision by Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams and with an introduction by Per Stam. The Occult Diary is a key resource for international Strindberg scholars and theater professionals and more broadly for scholars focusing on drama, theater history, stage performance, and literary currents at the turn of the previous century. The diary initiates the reader into the writer’s inner world during a crucial transitional period in his personal and literary life. It documents his readings and observations and gives important clues and information about an ongoing process of artistic reorientation. Strindberg was exploring new ways of looking at, interpreting, and writing about nature, science, art, the occult, and his fellow human beings.

Framing the Nation, Claiming the Hemisphere examines the national and transnational imagination in travel reports by American authors written between 1770 and 1830. Its range is from John and William Bartram’s pre-revolutionary travelogues and Jonathan Carver’s exploratory report on his journey in the Great Lakes region (first published 1778), to early nineteenth-century reports, such as Anne Newport Royall’s Sketches of History, Life, and Manners, in the United States (1826) and William Duane’s A Visit to Colombia (1826). The chapters of the monograph concentrate on writing about journeys to the North American ‘interior‘, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa. The primary sources were written between the beginning of the struggle against British rule, following the end of the French and Indian War, and the beginning of Andrew Jackson’s presidency. The decades between 1770 and 1830 were times of shifting colonial boundaries, nation-building, and emergent discourses of collective identification in North America. The study reads travel writing in the context of the identity-generating discourses of nation-building, imperialism, anti-colonialism, and cosmopolitanism.
Book DetailsThis book zooms in on some currently debated topics of Language Education: The gap between research and practice, the importance of pronunciation in L2/FL, classroom translanguaging, young learners’ exposure of English outside school, and teachers’ attitudes to foreign languages other than English.
