Something out of a Nightmare: Om Cho Seung-Hui og hans tekster

Something out of a Nightmare: On Cho Seung-Hui and his Texts:This article examines the relationship between the literary texts that the Virginia Tech shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, wrote and his terrifying deeds. Some of the texts were – shortly after the shootings – accessible on the Internet. The publishing of the texts raised several discussions about whether you could predict the acts of Cho by examining his texts. While most people, often very one-sidedly, associated linked author, texts and perpetrator together, this article discusses the subject in a more balanced manner, both in relation to didactical considerations and in relation to the question about what impact literature as such has on young people today. Thus the point in the article is that Cho’s texts do not hold any signs of relief or unrestraint in spite of their violent nature, but only show intellectual poverty. The biggest tragedy in this perspective may perhaps be that creative relief finds a more suitable expression elsewhere, in actual deeds

Reality beckons: metamodernist depthiness beyond panfictionality

It is often argued that postmodernism has been succeeded by a new dominant cultural logic. We conceive of this new logic as metamodernism. Whilst some twenty-first century texts still engage with and utilise postmodernist practices, they put these practices to new use. In this article, we investigate the metamodern usage of the typically postmodernist devices of metatextuality and ontological slippage in two genres: autofiction and true crime documentary. Specifically, we analyse Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being and the Netflix mini-series The Keepers, demonstrating that forms of fictionalisation, metafictionality and ontological blurring between fiction and reality have been repurposed. We argue that, rather than expand the scope of fiction, overriding reality, the metamodernist repurposing of postmodernist textual strategies generates a kind of ‘reality-effect’

Genreopbrud i 00’ernes danske poesi. Det selvbiografiske digt

Stefan Kjerkegaard: “Genre-Flux in Danish Poetry of the 00s: The Autobiographical Poem”This article deals with what it defines as the autobiographical poem and tries to show how this specific genre is an emergent and shared feature of a genre-flux in the Danish poetry of the 00s. Much poetry of the 00s seems to be in a divergent relationship to what has been called “the lyric poem” and in contrast with the ways poetry as such has been perceived and confused with “lyric poetry”. Today poetry seems to be more in accordance with poetry as a spacious and intermedial genre, ranging from oral performances to the written poem

Enquete: Hvad vil vi huske 2010’ernes danske litteratur for?

Vi har bedt en række danske litterater om at give deres bud på, hvilke forfatterskaber, litterære strømninger eller litteraturvidenskabelige tendenser, de opfatter som mest betydningsfulde i 2010’ernes litterære felt. Og vi har givet dem strikse instrukser om at gøre det kort, dvs. på én normalside. Svarene er samlet i denne enquete, som byder på en bredspektret overflyvning af det sidste årtis danske litteratur og litteraturvidenskab
