Abstract [en]

Steven Pinker’s The Blank Slate, with its subtitle The Modern Denial of Human Nature, published 2002, is a book that every person active within the field of humanities should read. The main thesis in the book is that man is not so much a tabula rasa where different social powers form his identity, as nature shaped by evolution. From the perspective of the humanities this more or less biological view is often seen as narrow and reductionist. The humanist alternative is man seen as a social construction shaped by history and the forces that lie within it. Man is culture, not nature. As representatives of the humanities we often see ourselves as an elite with the intellectual tools to see the powers that shape history, society and institutions. The typical humanist sees him- or herself as a critic of contemporary society with the agenda of liberating the oppressed. Intellectuals in the humanities therefore to easily lend themselves to the social engineering of ideologies. This is also one reason why the role of the humanist and the humanities is questioned within contemporary society. In a complex and incomprehensible world we doubt that a political elite can be the Master Planners that shape society towards total equality. The expanding research in genetics shows us that much of our identity is shaped by our biology. To regain its rightful intellectual status and importance, humanism, or perhaps post-humanism, needs to question its role of reshaping the nature of man by social means, and with realism see and accept ourselves as one creature among others fabricated through evolution, and thus ask the interesting questions about such a partly flawed being.

Abstract [en]

One of Lars Gustafsson’s closest friends among writers in the German language was Max Frisch, whose work Gustafsson admired. In this comparative reading of Frisch’s Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän (1979) and Gustafsson’s En kakelsättares eftermiddag (1991) the latter is examined as an elaborated response to Frisch’s text. The influence of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy on Frisch’s Stiller (1954), Homo faber (1957) and Mein Name sei Gantenbein (1964) has been explored in previous scholarship. In the following reading of Frisch’s novel, Heidegger’s Der Ursprung des Kunstwerkes is also pointed out as an influence. This influence on Frisch’s text is also one of the subjects of the response we find in Gustafsson’s novel. Thus, in the concluding segment of this article Heidegger’s essay is a key text when understanding how Frisch’s novel is absorbed into Gustafsson’s.

2013 (Swedish)Book (Other academic)
Abstract [sv]

Boken är en sammanhängande studie av Göran Sonnevis (f. 1939) allra tidigaste dikter, de totalt femtio dikter som publiceras i diktsamlingarna Outfört och Abstrakta dikter, utgivna 1961 och 1963. Studien har som sitt huvudtema relationen. Det primära syftet är att visa den djupgående roll relationen har, liksom vad den egentligen är i denna tidiga del av författarskapet. Tesen är att denna poesi handlar om relationen men också lever i den. Ett mer vidsträckt syfte är att visa de implikationer som detta tidiga diktmaterial har för det senare författarskapet. En utblick i det avslutande kapitlet beaktar dikter i samlingen ingrepp – modeller som publiceras 1965 och ett par dikter från sjuttiotalet tillsammans med en dikt ur samlingen Bok utan namn, som utkommer 2012. I denna senare del av studien spelar en analys av Sonnevis mest kända dikt "Om kriget i Vietnam" (1965) huvudrollen. Analysen avser påvisa den interaktion som finns mellan judisk mystik och politik i Sonnevis lyrik. En viktig del i studien rör mystikens roll inte bara i det tidiga segmentet utan också i senare delar av författarskapet. Relationen som studeras har nämligen en tydlig koppling till mystik i Sonnevis poesi. Det senare, mystikens roll, bör förstås som ett inflytandestudium där Martin Bubers jag-du-filosofi och den tradition som inom den judiska mystiken går under namnet »kabbala« spelar den helt dominerande rollen. Antagandet är att dessa båda faktorer, Buber och kabbala, har stor betydelse för den tidiga del av författarskapet som står i primärfokus men alltså också med omfattande räckvidd in i senare texter. Det är denna räckvidd in i Sonnevis stora produktion som de avslutande utblickarna åtminstone antydningsvis syftar till att påvisa.

Abstract [en]

Like all H. C. Andersen's stories, the fairy tale The Snow Queen (1844) is a text with many links to the tradition of Romanticism. This article concentrates on (a) Andersen's use of symbols, especially ice and snow; (b) the three-fold composition in the story, and (c) the allegorical structure. These levels in Andersen's text are placed in the framework of a larger Romantic ideology or philosophy. When focusing on the Romantic tradition in a larger sense, special attention will be paid to the female protagonist in the story in relation to the male and/or Faustian ideal, whose origins are to be found in Goethe's drama Faust. Within the allegorical scheme special attention will be paid to Lilith, also appearing in Faust, and to 1 Cor. 13, a text where the distorted mirror and the divergence between child and adult are key symbols, as in Andersen's tale. Finally, the tale's female protagonist Gerda is interpreted as the bearer of Rousseau's educational ideas and the Christian notion of agape.
