Introduction
- Abstract: In his monumental Memory, History, Forgetting, Paul Ricœur writes "To remember is to have a memory or to set off in search of a memory. In this sense, the question 'How'' posed by anamnēsis tends to separate itself from the question 'What'' more narrowly posed by mnēmē" (2004, 4). To actively practice remembering, searching for a memory, recollecting (anamnēsis) and to passively have some innate knowledge, to be subject to its apparition—for a memory to effortlessly manifest (mnēmē)—are the two complementary notions that still constantly revitalize our investigations of memory ever since Plato's first theoretical attempts to think through the phenomenon in Meno and Phaedo. Ricœur includes a third question of "Who'" ... Read More

The Art of Self-Defense: Diary, Memory, and the Subject
- Abstract: For some time now, Swedish literature has seen a powerful wave of self-representations, with the diary becoming a prominent form. The reasons behind this wave are, of course, complex. There is nothing new about auto-fiction; what is interesting is that the form of the diary has become so prominent, explored and exploited by new and very experienced writers, old and young, male and female. It is difficult to pinpoint a clear beginning of this wave, but the first of five volumes of Lars Norén's En dramatikers dagbok [A Playwright's Diary], published in 2008, might be seen as a breakthrough moment: it made headlines, and not just on the cultural pages. Maybe this flood is about to peter out, now that Norén's fifth ... Read More

Memory of the Sea: The Arctic Ocean, Pechenga, and the Cultural Memory of
World War II in Katja Kettu's The Midwife
- Abstract: This article considers the role of the Arctic Ocean and the rich water symbolism in Katja Kettu's novel Kätilö (2011; The Midwife [2016]), in the context of the cultural memory of World War II. The Midwife is a Finnish historical novel that depicts wartime events in Pechenga, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. The novel represents the love story of German officer Johannes Angelhurst and a Finnish woman called Wild-Eye who works as a midwife in the remote villages of Pechenga. The novel depicts the summer and autumn of 1944, when Germany was losing the war and the German army was pulling back from Lapland. Katja Kettu (born 1977) is one of the most successful, award-winning contemporary Finnish authors, and her ... Read More

A Monument with a Social Message: Beet Girls from Sakskøbing in the
Cultural Memory of Poles and Danes
- Abstract: The end of the nineteenth century saw a massive wave of economic migration from Polish lands, mainly Galicia—the Austrian partition, including modern-day western Ukraine—to Denmark. The first Polish seasonal workers arrived on the southern Danish islands in spring 1893; 2023 marked 130 years since the start of the process. In 1914, Polish migrant workers numbered some 14,000 people altogether. These seasonal workers were recruited to cultivate the sugar beet fields the Danes were then developing. With the fall in the prices of sugarcane in the mid-nineteenth century, Denmark switched to the innovative, highly intensive cultivation of sugar beets through internal colonization of its southern Baltic islands Lolland ...

The Trouble with Mediated Memories: Recovering the Forgotten History of
Nordic Silent Films in Australasia
- Abstract: Memory is a curious thing, at once private and public, often highly unreliable, yet crucially important to individuals and society. Personal memories underpin each person's sense of self and inform their decisions, while collective memories shape historical narratives and help define the parameters of group identities based on national, ethnic, religious, linguistic, or other commonalities. Many studies have shown that individual memories are incomplete and inconsistent, relying heavily on post hoc reconstruction rather than simply recording experiences as they took place.1 Likewise, although we often assume that events, people, and objects that make it into our history books are the most significant and relevant ...

Half-Digested Memory: Alimentary Aesthetics in Danish Travelogues during
the French Revolution
- Abstract: Not only were Jens Baggesen (1764–1824) and Adam Gottlob Detlef Moltke (1765–1843) good friends, but they also both wrote travelogues during the French Revolution—travelogues that in their digressive and playful style are heavily influenced by Laurence Sterne (1713–1764). While Baggesen's Labyrinten (1792–93; The Labyrinth) is regarded as a Danish classic of the eighteenth century, Moltke's Reise nach Maynz (1794; Journey to Mainz) has largely been forgotten. One reason for this is undoubtedly the fact that Moltke, who was born in Denmark, wrote in German and thus was considered neither a Danish nor a properly German writer. In this article, I give Moltke's playful and digressive text the attention it deserves ... Read More
