Erla Husgafvel, österbottnisk folklorist i två länder: Närvarons problematik, nostalgins förförelse, exilens vemod
Liksom Linnés lärjungar, och Ngugis studenter två hundra år senare, hade etnologer vid 1920- och 1930-talens Åbo Akademi påbörjat insamlingar om lokala seder och språkbruk -- även de med en engagerad kulturinstitutions, Svenska Litteratursällskapet, lika beskäftiga instruktionshäfte i handen. En av de mest hängivna var Erla Hovilainen-Husgafvel (f. Lund) som under åren 1928–1939 gjorde tio fältexpeditioner till aderton byar i Österbotten (dessuto…
Agony and Penance: Sara Lidman in South Africa 1960–1961
The Swedish writer Sara Lidman (1923–2004) wrote Jag och min son (“I and My Son”) after a brief stint in apartheid South Africa in 1960–61, from where she was expelled for violation of the Immorality Act.

The major protagonists in the novels or …

Ngugi wa Thiong'o in/and 2006
Ngugi wa Thiong'o in/and 2006 Raoul J. Granqvist Exile is exit in excess; exit is also homecoming's traumatic co-traveler. Movement within the geography and the psyche postulates exclusionary positioning of place and identity. What does the place of arrival contain, asks the migrant? What does it expect from me? How do I handle my past, my memory? Is there room for negotiations? Experiencing exile and living it distract and refract the subject. T…
