Negotiating Good Parenthood in Swedish Climate Change Fiction
How can you be a good parent to a child who, with the current speed of global warming, will likely live their adult life in a world ravaged by floods, wildfires, and pandemics? In the absence of scholarship that centres the question of how to be a good parent in times of climate change, fictional literature can provide a way to explore this dilemma. This article analyzes how parenthood is conceptualized in relation to environmental consciousness …
Generation and Polynomial Parsing of Graph Languages with Non-Structural Reentrancies
Graph-based semantic representations are popular in natural language processing, where it is often convenient to model linguistic concepts as nodes and relations as edges between them. Several attempts have been made to find a generative device that is sufficiently powerful to describe languages of semantic graphs, while at the same allowing efficient parsing. We contribute to this line of work by introducing graph extension grammar, a variant of…
Can I take responsibility for bringing a person to this world who will be part of the apocalypse: Ideological dilemmas and concerns for future well-being when bringing the climate crisis into reproduc…
In the wake of the ongoing climate crisis and its negative effects on public health, it has been questioned by climate activists whether it is right to bring more children into the world. Moreover, according to previous scholarship, having one fewer child is the most high-impact lifestyle change individuals in developed countries can make in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But do climate awareness and recommendations to have fewer child…
Now You See It, Now You Don’t: Queer Reading Strategies, Swedish Literature, and Historical (In)visibility
When magicians raise their wands and say “now you see it, now you don’t,” rabbits suddenly disappear—and appear again shortly after. Magic happens. For literary scholars, interpreting texts can feel just as magical: after intense study of a text, we suddenly see something we did not see a

Motherhood Gone Wrong: Failure as Resistance in Twenty-First Century Swedish Literature
This article investigates three twenty-first century Swedish novels about mothers who leave their children, in light of a contemporary Swedish context, where the nuclear family has gained a stronger position while mothers struggle to balance different ideals. The novels take issue particularly with cultural ideals of good motherhood in two ways. First, the novels represent mothers who engage in a kind of good motherhood that becomes excessive and…
Killing Family Joy: Mothers on the Run in Twenty-First Century Swedish Literature
“I’ll make sure they know. I’m going to tell them what you did, that you just took off. Left your own children. Fuck” (Myren 9).1 1 All translations from Swedish into English are my own, in collabo
Playing with Pistols: Female Masculinity in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler
The lead character of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (1890) one of the most complex and puzzling characters in the history of theater. When the play was published and performed for the first time in the 1890s, it was received with cold surprise and disorientation, and critics found it incomprehensible (Host 1958, 12; Templeton 1997, 204). Over the years, the character Hedda has been interpreted in many different ways: as unreal, as a defective woman…

Queering the Small Town: Lukas Moodysson's Film Show Me Love
Notes1My translation. The language in the movie is Swedish, and all translations from the movie in the following are mine.2Tiina Rosenberg mentions that Show Me Love follows the genre conventions of the romantic movie with the initial introduction of the love object, the first love encounter, the obstacles that follow, and the final scene picturing the union of the lovers (“Det nya Lukas-evangeliet” 30). Karin Nikolajevna argues that Moodysson's …

The Effects of Farm Size and Organic Farming on Diversity of Birds, Pollinators, and Plants in a Swedish Landscape
This study compares diversity and abundance of birds plus abundance of butterflies, bumblebees and herbaceous plants between six small farms ( 135 ha arable land) in Roslagen in southeastern Sweden. Two of the large and four of the small farms were organic. Large-scale landscape mosaic and underlying bedrock were similar for all farms. Statistical analysis was performed using box-plots on medians and analysis of variance on mean values. More than…
