Följande studie handlar om Torsten Nilssons verk Crucifigatur, ett avantgardistiskt musikstycke för orgel komponerat 1968. Det ingår i en svit om sju stycken, kallade ”improvisationer”. Här möts organisten av en varierad notbild ömsom grafiskt ömsom traditionellt noterad. I studien beskriver jag min strategi för att lära mig verket, som innefattar både teoretiska studier samt lektioner och inspelningsanalys, och reflekterar över resultatet. Det ligger i styckets natur att det blir lika många tolkningar som organister, och det finns inga sanningar exakt hur det skall utföras. Ofta finns flera tänkbara och bra lösningar. Jag har i denna studie presenterat mina tankar och förslag på hur stycket kan utformas och instuderas, grundat på efterforskningar, notanalys och samtal med min lärare Nils Larsson. Den musikhistoriska kontexten har även getts stort utrymme. För den som är nyfiken på musiken, tiden eller stycket specifikt hoppas jag denna uppsats kan ge nya perspektiv och infallsvinklar.

My dissertation examines the role Russian literature translations played in the shaping of Argentine literature during the first three decades of the twentieth century. By examining the processes of selection, translation, retranslation, and adaptation of Russian works, it analyzes the ways in which translation participated in the redefinition of Argentina’s cultural and literary relations with Europe. Through comparative analysis of the originals and their translations, it traces how translation made Russian literature somber and tragic, and transformed its realism into a detailed copying of reality. It argues that such realism, which was imitated by the Leftist avant-garde group Boedo, that aimed to democratize literature, exposed the incongruence of any representation of reality, which helped the Florida group—the followers of the European avant-garde—to call for a different kind of realism, one that would expose the fiction of literature and reality. By examining the work of Macedonio Fernández, César Tiempo and Roberto Arlt, I trace how Florida’s parody of Boedo’s copying of Russian literary translations were crucial in the development of parody in Argentine literature, helped reinstate the parody and humor that had been overlooked by the translation, and paved the way for the Boom writers.

abstract: In the first thirty years of the XX century, an old literary visual tradition was reborn in a series of new striking visual texts better known as calligrams. They were produced by some avant-garde poets such as Vicente Huidobro, José Juan Tablada, Alberto Hidalgo and Carlos Oquendo de Amat in Latin America, and Juan Larrea, Guillermo de Torre, Francisco Vighi, Luis Mosquera, and others in Spain. However, with few exceptions, the interpretation of those written drawings has caught little attention from literary critics. This research, contrasted to that of Willard Bohn's, is a contribution to the deciphering of such literary art form, designated here as the figurative visual poem. It is a proposal for its visual reading which draws from the fact that this type of text is concretely a drawing formed by written verses. As such, it can be regarded as a plastic writing, combining pictorial and verbal signs in one perceptible configuration on the page. The result of this semiotic operation is a hybrid product in which the iconic forms become symbolic and vice versa. It is in fact, an art object which should be approached as a text that can be seen as well as read. The study leads to the conclusion that Willard Bohn misreads the order in which language and image are articulated in the visual poem identified with the second order semiological system proposed by Roland Barthes, placing preeminence on language over image. This results in reading the avant-garde visual figurative poem in an ekphrastic fashion. Consequently, the role of the image in the system is left in an ambiguous realm at the time of deciphering this hybrid text. Our contribution to re-conducting this undertaking has been equally drawn from a semiotic stance taken from Louis Hjemslev that balances language and image as correlates of a semiotic function. Due to the signaling nature of both, language and figure, a visual poem becomes an iconic metaphor as well as a metaphoric icon, and moreover a self-referential sign, thus justifying its status of an autonomous art. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Spanish 2011
