Allying with Beasts
This article analyzes the French fairy tale “La Belle et la Bête” (“Beauty and the Beast”), the German folk tale “Das singende springende Löweneckerchen” (“The Singing Springing Lark”), and the Spanish folk tale “El lagarto de las siete camisas” (“The Lizard with the Seven Shirts”) from the vantage point of feminist fairy tale studies and posthumanism. In particular, the article discusses the ways in which the female protagonists and their enchan…
Fruktbar pederasti
Artikkelen utforskar korleis forfattaren Åsmund Sveen bidrog til propagandaen frå Nasjonal Samling (NS) under andre verdskrigen. Tidlegare forsking på Sveens NS-engasjement har teke utgangspunkt i homofobiske, stereotype førestillingar for å forklåre korleis ein mann som levde i eit homofilt forhold kunne fremja ein homofiendtleg ideologi. I denne artikkelen blir spørsmålet stilt andre vegen: Korleis kunne NS akseptere at Sveen tok med eit homoer…
Lyrisk kompleksitet i antropocen. Ein formorientert, berekraftig litteraturdidaktikk
Med utgangspunkt i Inger Hagerups dikt «Kvelden lister seg på tå» utforskar artikkelen moglegheitene for ein berekraftig litteraturdidaktikk som legg vekt på kompleksitet og uhygge. Teoretisk lener artikkelen seg på omgrepet «det sublime» slik det blir definert av Immanuel Kant og utlagt av den økologiske tenkaren Timothy Morton. Vidare byggjer lesinga av diktet på teori om lyrikk som affektiv form og på dei hermeneutiske implikasjonane av Kristi…
The Witch in the Closet
The witch is a fundamentally ambiguous character. In fairy tales and folklore, she represents conflicting values: fertility and barrenness, life and death, erotic seduction and fatal rejection. Therefore, the witch, broadly defined as a female1 human or human-like creature capable of magic feats, often embodies conflict. This article will discuss what we may call “the misunderstood witch trope.” The term refers to how several modern adaptations o…

The Textuality of Sexuality
This article is a comparative reading of the novella Verwirrung der Gefühle (1927) by the Austrian author Stefan Zweig and the novel Følelsers forvirring (1937) by the Norwegian author Borghild Krane. While both titles translate as Confusion of Emotions, and both deal with the fates of homosexuals, this is the first study to ask how the connections betweeen the two works create literary meaning, and what this might imply for the textual mode of e…
Relating Someone Else’s Story
The article is a comparative reading of Everything I Don’t Remember by Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri, and Histoire de la violence by French author Édouard Louis. The main theoretical framework is Deleuzian/Guattarian affect theory, coupled with Adriana Cavarero’s analysis of storytelling and selfhood. Both novels depict a narrative situation where a person has their story told by someone else, and thus provide striking accounts of how indiv…
Sustainable Literary Competence
Ecocritical scholarship has always had pedagogical ambitions. It is commonly assumed that education based on ecocritical readings of literature will change the attitudes and actions of pupils and students and thus contribute to forming environmentally aware and sustainable citizens. However, this article proposes an alternative view on the interaction between sustainability and literature education. Based on a critical discussion of “ecocritical …
Tantalizing Idylls
This article presents comparative readings of works of fiction depicting homosexuality published between 1927 and 1941, with an emphasis on Scandinavian literature. It argues that the story of Tantalus, the mythical king whose thirst and hunger were never satisfied, functions as a catachresis that conveys the unattainability of homosexual desire. The article further makes the case that allusions to Tantalus carry a political significance in a con…
