Säg namnen Karl Oskar och Kristina och alla vet genast vad du menar. Genom gigantiska upplagor, översättningar till främmande språk, Jan Troells filmer och Björn och Bennys musikal har Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarserie blivit den svenska litteraturens mest älskade och lästa verk. Det är dessutom flitigt använt som en grundläggande källa till kunskap om den svenska utvandringen till Nordamerika på 1800-talet. I Mobergland visar Jens Liljestrand hur utvandrarserien, som gavs ut under åren 19491959, i själva verket säger mer om sin egen tid än om 1800-talet. De självbiografiskt färgade romanerna speglar den åldrande stjärnförfattarens hat mot den svenska byråkratin och hans sökande efter lycka och oberoende i USA. Böckerna är samtidigt, med teman som normalitet och avvikelse, frihet och tvång, öst och väst, en del av femtiotalets svenska och amerikanska kultur kring kalla kriget. De är formade av sin tids längtan efter starka män och självuppoffrande kvinnor, idealisering av kärnfamiljen, rädsla för det avvikande och den skräckblandade förtjusningen inför det sexuellt frigjorda. Mobergland. Personligt och politiskt i Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarserie är en studie i hur ett i grunden personligt och politiskt romanprojekt kom att muta in sitt eget område i litteraturen, och skapa sig positionen som det moderna Sveriges national-epos. Jens Liljestrand skildrar med ett medryckande språk hur ett verk som stod mitt i tiden kom att uppfattas som tidlöst och allmängiltigt. Hans bok tar ett nytt och fascinerande grepp om myten och människan Moberg.

Vad kan hända i ett samhälle där det finns en blomstrande upplevelseindustri kopplad till ett kulturarv? Det är den fråga som författarna till Astrid Lindgrens världar i Vimmerby belyser ur en rad perspektiv. Vimmerby är fokus för deras fallstudie och de skildrar utvecklingen av lokalsamhället och den framväxande besöksnäringen kring Astrid Lindgren och hennes författarskap. Handlingskraften i Vimmerby har mestadels kommit från entreprenörer som ofta inte haft enbart snävt ekonomiska motiv utan också samhällsnyttiga ambitioner. Samtidigt är den ett uttryck för ett samhällsengagemang som har djupa rötter i staden. Kulturarvet i Vimmerby är en unik tillgång för bygden och ger kreativa möten mellan kommersiella och samhällsnyttiga intressen. I Astrid Lindgrens världar i Vimmerby diskuterar en flervetenskaplig forskargrupp bland annat kommunens agerande, lokaltidningens roll och inte minst innevånarnas erfarenheter. Gruppen hämtar lärdomar ur sina givande inblickar i Vimmerbys utveckling genom åren.

The stage musical constitutes a major industry not only in the US and the UK, but in many regions of the world. Over the last four decades many countries have developed their own musical theatre industries, not only by importing hit shows from Broadway and London but also by establishing or reviving local traditions of musical theatre. In response to the rapid growth of musical theatre as a global phenomenon, The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical presents new scholarly approaches to issues arising from these new international markets. The volume examines the stage musical from theoretical and empirical perspectives including concepts of globalization and consumer culture, performance and musicological analysis, historical and cultural studies, media studies, notions of interculturalism and hybridity, gender studies, and international politics. The thirty-three essays investigate major aspects of the global musical, such as the dominance of Western colonialism in its early production and dissemination, racism and sexism--both in representation and in the industry itself--as well as current conflicts between global and local interests in postmodern cultures. Featuring contributors from seventeen countries, the essays offer informed insider perspectives that reflect the diversity of the subject and offer in-depth examinations of specific cultural and economic systems. Together, they conduct penetrating comparative analysis of musical theatre in different contexts as well as a survey of the transcultural spread of musicals.

This is the first book to focus on indigenous, traditional and folk sports and sporting cultures. It examines the significance of sporting cultures that have survived the emergence and diffusion of western sports and have carved out a unique position not only in spite of, but also in response to, modernity. Presenting case studies from around the world, including from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania, the book draws on multi-disciplinary work from sociology, anthropology, history, cultural studies and political science, exploring key themes in the social sciences including nationalism, identity, decolonisation and gender. From Turkish oil wrestling, Kabbadi in South Asia and Iroquois lacrosse, to wushu and sumo in East Asia, these sporting practices continue to capture the indigenous imagination on the margins of the western hegemonic sport complex. Situated in the fissures between the local and the global, the archaic and the modern, and between ritual and record, they inhabit a liminal space of transformation as they assume new cultural and political meanings, offering important perspectives on the complexities, challenges and contradictions of modernity. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, indigenous studies, anthropology, social and cultural history, or globalisation.

Between 1840 and 1940, more than one million people emigrated from Sweden to America. The fact that so many chose to leave to seek a better life across the Atlantic was a major trauma for the Swedish nation. Filmmakers were not slow to pick up on an exodus that proved to be of lasting importance for the Swedes’ national identity. In Welcome Home Mr Swanson, film studies scholar Ann-Kristin Wallengren analyzes the ways in which Swedish emigrants and Swedish-American returnees are depicted in Swedish film between 1910 and 1950, continuing on to recent films and television shows. Were Sweden’s emigrants seen as national traitors or as brave trailblazers who might return home with modern ideas? Many of the Swedish films were distributed to the United States, and Wallengren discusses the notions of Sweden and Swedishness that circulated there as a result. She also considers the image of Swedish immigrant women in American films—a representation that bore little resemblance to the Swedes’ idealized view. Wallengren shows how ideologies of nationality had a prominent place in the films’ narratives, resulting in movies that project enduring perceptions of Swedish national identity and the American way of life.

In this open access book, seventeen scholars discuss how contemporary Scandinavian art and media have become important arenas to articulate and stage various forms of vulnerability in the Scandinavian welfare states. How do discourses of privilege and vulnerability coexist and interact in Scandinavia? How do the Scandinavian countries respond to vulnerability given increased migration? How is vulnerability distributed in terms of margin and centre, normality and deviance? And how can vulnerability be used to move audiences towards each other and accomplish change? We address these questions in an interdisciplinary study that brings examples from celebrated and provocative fiction and documentary films, TV-series, reality TV, art installations, design, literature, graphic art, radio podcasts and campaigns on social media.
