Book Description
As a nominally neutral power during the Second World War, Sweden in the early postwar era has received comparatively little attention from historians. Nonetheless, as this definitive study shows, the war—and particularly the specter of Nazism—changed Swedish society profoundly. Prior to 1939, many Swedes shared an unmistakable affinity for German culture, and even after the outbreak of hostilities there remained prominent apologists for the Third Reich. After the Allied victory, however, Swedish intellectuals reframed Nazism as a discredited, distinctively German phenomenon rooted in militarism and Romanticism. Accordingly, Swedes’ self-conception underwent a dramatic reformulation. From this interplay of suppressed traditions and bright dreams for the future, postwar Sweden emerged.

Book Description
Collective Traumas is about the traumatic European history of the 20th century - war, genocide, dictatorship, ethnic cleansing - and how individuals, communities and nations have dealt with their dark past through remembrance, historiography and legal settlements. Memories, and especially collective memories, serve as foundations for national identities and are politically charged. Regardless whether memory is used to support or to challenge established ideologies, it is inevitably subject to political tensions. Consequently, memory, history and amnesia tend to be used and abused for different political and ideological purposes. From the perspectives of historical, literary and visual studies the essays focus on how the experiences of war and profound conflict have been represented and remembered in different national cultures and communities. This volume is a vital contribution to memory studies and trauma theory. Collective Traumas is a result of the multidisciplinary research project on Memory Culture that was initiated in 2002 at Karlstad University, Sweden. A previous publication with Peter Lang is Memory Work: The Theory and Practice of Memory (2005).

Book Description
"The Committee for Humanities and the Social Sciences at the Research Council has been commissioned by the government to carry out a program of research into Sweden's relations with Nazism, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A part of this commission was to produce a survey of the research field. This survey was organized around the three key concepts of the title of the research program, with chapters on Sweden and the Holocaust. A special chapter on Sweden's economic relations to Nazi Germany was added, as well as a bibliography. The survey gives both a picture of a broad research in the field, with ongoing debates in a number of areas, but also of significant gaps, where research still is lacking. The survey presents an internationally unique presentation of the state of research in a much debated and controversial field."

Book Description
Am 18. September 1996 starb Bernhard Glienke, Professor für Neuere Skandinavistik an der Universität Kiel, im Alter von 55 Jahren. Er war einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der deutschsprachigen Neuskandinavistik, ein engagierter Lehrer und profilierter Forscher. Seinem Gedenken sind die Beiträge zur Ästhetik der skandinavischen Moderne gewidmet. Die Hauptforschungs- und Interessengebiete Bernhard Glienkes, nämlich die Literatur und Kultur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, stehen im Zentrum des Buches: die Impulse der Spätromantik, der Moderne Durchbruch, die modernistischen Tendenzen bis zur Gegenwart und insbesondere die ästhetischen Innovationen der skandinavischen Großstadtliteratur. Die Ausrichtung auf den internationalen Kontext und die Bereitschaft zur interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit bestimmten Bernhard Glienkes Perspektive auf die Literatur und die Literaturwissenschaft. Diesen Blick auf die Ästhetik der skandinavischen Moderne teilt die Gedenkschrift.
