Sammanfattning : This dissertation aims to explore the tension between modernism and local-colour literature as registered in the works of four Swedish writers from the immediate post-war era: the novels Hitom himlen (‘This Side of Heaven’, 1946) by Stina Aronson (1892–1956), Bröllopsbesvär (‘Wedding Worries’, 1949) by Stig Dagerman (1923–1954), and Tjärdalen (‘The Tar Still’, 1953) by Sara Lidman (1923–2004), as well as the short story ‘Pingstbrud’ (‘Whitsun Bride’) from the prose collection Nyare berättelser (‘Newer Stories’, 1949) by Tage Aurell (1895–1976). How are the provincial communities in these works portrayed socially and linguistically? In what ways, discursively and narratologically, has the setting been traellnsformed into a literary material and applied as part of a deliberate poetics? Is it possible to understand these works as a distinctive literary movement in the history of Swedish literature?The examination of the individual works approaches these questions through a linguistic and narrative analysis, that focuses on the use of dialects, free indirect discourse, and certain context-specific discourses, such as gossip, as well as the portrayal of the social norms of the rural communities portrayed.

14. A World of Myths : World Literature and Storytelling in Canongate's Myths series
Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses contemporary publishing within the global, literary system through the prism of the transnational publishing project the Myths series, initiated by Scottish publishing house Canongate Books in 2005. By combining the perspectives of world literature studies and sociology of literature, I explore the conception, development and communication around the Myths series (today published in forty countries) in relation firstly to the contemporary changes in the publishing industry, situated within a more general literary debate on globalisation and cultural diversity and secondly the rise of a social order epitomised under the umbrella term “new economy”, in which the practice of strategic communication or marketing storytelling has become increasingly common.
