Translation pace and the temporal dynamics of transnational publishing the case of Nordic Noir
Revising research practices for singing data collection
As AI voice synthesis enables increasingly sophisticated vocal deepfakes and non-consensual voice cloning, the governance, licensing and access of singing datasets has become an urgent concern for data-contributors, who face significant harms from downstream and non-consensual usage of their singing data. Singing datasets are foundational to the development of high fidelity voice AI synthesis, yet current data collection practices pose challenges…
A Pentagram for the Sociology of Literature
The article discusses the what and the how of the sociology of literature in two steps. First, a model is proposed — the pentagram — comprising five nodes and their interrelated links for visualising the holistic literary-sociological research perspective. Second, the pentagram is related to six concrete strands of current research areas within the field, especially emphasising aspects concerning methodology and empirical materials: (1) literary-…
On top of the world: Mapping the Nordic crime fiction boom based on translation data
Nordic Noir -crime fiction originating in the Nordic region -is one of the most significant international publishing success stories of the twenty-first century.Despite its importance, no one has mapped and analysed the circulation of Nordic Noir as world literature.The present study addresses this knowledge gap by quantitatively mapping the global translation flows of Nordic Noir during the period of its greatest international success, from 2000…
Modelling Subscription‐Based Streaming Services for Books
By departing from the Nordic countries, the purpose is to explain and conceptualize how subscription-based streaming services for books operate in the contemporary book trade, and furthermore to discuss what effects these new business models are causing regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of books. A model is proposed that outlines the aspects of streaming services and the relationships to other actors involved. The model illu…
Digital Conceptual History and the Emergence of a Globalized Climate Imaginary
This article offers an exploratory quantitative analysis of the conceptual career of climate in US English over the period 1800-2010. Our aim is to qualify two, closely related arguments circulating in Environmental Humanities scholarship regarding the concept's history, namely that we only started to think of climate as a global entity aft er the introduction of general circulation models during the final quarter of the twentieth century, and, s…
Introducing the Beststreamer: Mapping Nuances in Digital Book Consumption at Scale
This paper investigates consumption patterns in digital subscription-based streaming services for books by means of a large-scale dataset derived from Storytel. The aim is twofold: to empirically discuss how book consumption in the commercial top segment diverges between print books and digital streaming platforms, and to conceptually show the usefulness and considerable possibilities with computational approaches for digital publishing studies a…
Audiobook Stylistics: Comparing print and audio in the bestselling segment
The paper explores differences between bestsellers in print and the most popular audiobooks in a subscription-based streaming service for books ('beststreamers') by means of computational stylistics. The point of departure is the complete set of print bestsellers and digital audiobook beststreamers for the Swedish book market 2015–2019, in total 172 novels. We probed 34 linguistic measures to track differences between subsets at the stylistic lev…
Genres at work: A holistic approach to genres in book publishing
This article presents a holistic approach to the study of genres in book publishing that includes formal aspects of literary texts, marketing strategies and categorisations used by producers, and perspectives on how these labels are perceived by readers and critics, as well as a temporal and spatial understanding of how genres evolve. The empirical point of departure is the recent boom in Nordic Noir, exemplified by the following three Swedish au…
Deckardrottningar kontra deckarkungar: Om könsbundna marknadsföringsstrategier i 2000-talets svenska deckargenre
This article deals with the successful Swedish crime writers and the gendered aspects of how they are marketed towards the readers in the 2000s. The purpose is to show how Swedish publishers follow distinct gender patterns in their marketing of crime fiction, and to discuss how this affects the responses to male and female crime novelists in cultural and medial landscapes. The empirical material consists of 153 Swedish crime novels, published in …
Socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle factors, and self-rated health among men and women in Sweden
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic conditions and lifestyle factors have been found to be related to self-rated health, which is an established predictor of morbidity and mortality. Few studies, however, have investigated the independent effect of material and psychosocial conditions as well as lifestyle factors on self-rated health. METHODS: The association between socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle factors, and self-rated health was investigated using …
