1	”Det var väl ändå litteratur det hela skulle handla om?” : En idéanalys av värderingar kring Augustpriset i svensk dagspress / “Wasn’t it supposed to be about literature?” : An idea analysis of values expressed towards Augustpriset in the Swedish press Urger, Sara January 2008 (has links) The aim of this Master’s thesis is to examine values expressed towards the Swedish literary award Augustpriset in a selection of articles from Swedish newspapers published between the years 2000-2007. The questions posed in the study are: What types of values concerning Augustpriset are expressed in a selection of cultural journalistic articles? How is the relationship between intellectual culture and commercial culture reflected in the articles? How are positive and negative standpoints justified? How can Augustpriset and the journalists be understood as parts of intraconversion on the literary field? The study’s qualitative textual analysis is theoretically based on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the literary field. The method used for analysing the articles is idea analysis using dimensions constructed from Bourdieu’s description of two polarities, the intellectual and the commercial, of the literary field. Also used as a theoretical tool is John F. English’s term intraconversion. The results of the study indicate that a majority of the journalists express scepticism towards the commercial aspects of Augustpriset, and that commercial interests are sometimes perceived to be affecting the process of nomination, voting and awarding of the award. The results also indicate that intellectual culture is given higher value that commercial culture, hence the values expressed can be assigned to the dimension constructed from the intellectual pole. / Uppsatsnivå: D litteratursociologi augustpriset idéanalys dagspress pierre bourdieu det litterära fältet litterära priser värderingar Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
2	Snille och smak och mord : En litteratursociologisk studie av Nobelpriset och det högkulturella i Karin Alvtegens Skugga / Talent and taste and murder : A study from a sociology of literature perspective of the Nobel Prize and highbrow culture in Karin Alvtegen’s Skugga Berglund, Karl January 2010 (has links) This master thesis deals with the Nobel Prize and highbrow culture as portrayed in Karin Alvtegen’s Skugga. From a sociology of literature perspective, it aims to analyze how these highbrow themes can be understood in relation to Alvtegen’s position in the literary field as a lowbrow crime novelist. The method used is hermeneutic, and the analysis is based on two theoretical models: Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural sociology, and the postmodern tradition where the distinction high/low and its traditional hierarchy is said to be decomposed. The analysis shows how Alvtegen gets inscribed in a detective genre she doesn’t really fit into, which is of great importance for our understanding and reading of Skugga. In relation to the history of the detective genre, this essay explains how Alvtegen uses both the whodunit’s integrating of highbrow symbols, as well as the social critique frequently used in more recent crime fiction. The conclusions drawn are that Alvtegen’s use of highbrow symbols illustrates the literary field, while they also discuss her own position on the very same field – text and context here operates closely intertwined. The highbrow theme in Skugga functions as both a dissociation from as well as a rapprochement to highbrow culture, while it also criticizes a contemporary commercialized culture. The Nobel Prize here plays a significant role, as it has become a highbrow symbol known to everybody. Skugga illustrates that intertextual markers in our contemporary post-modern culture is transformed in both directions in the cultural hierarchy – which doesn’t mean that it has vanished. karin alvtegen nobelpriset litteratursociologi postmodernism högt och lågt populärlitteratur deckare litterära priser Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
3	Nobel och August på biblioteket : Bibliotekariers attityder och förhållningssätt gentemot litterära priser / Nobel and August at the library : Attitudes and standpoints amongst librarians towards literary awards Berglind, Johanna January 2010 (has links) The aim of this Master’s thesis is to examine attitudes and standpoints amongst librarians at the Swedish public library towards literary awards and awarded literature. The questions posed in the study are: What attitudes are expressed amongst these librarians towards the Nobel Prize in literature, the August Prize and literary awards and awarded literature in general? What significance do the Nobel Prize in literature, the August Prize and other literary awards have concerning purchase and display at these public libraries? How is awarded literature perceived and how do they talk about it concerning quality and are questions of quality significant? Qualitative interviews with seven librarians at four different public libraries have been done. Theories regarding Jϋrgen Habermas the bourgeois public sphere and Pierre Bourdieu’s terms habitus, field and capital have been used as to explain the library as a public sphere. Concerning quality and value, theories by Barbara Herrnstein Smith have been used. The results of the study indicate that librarians have a positive attitude towards literary awards and the handling of awarded literature. None of the libraries have any specific policy regarding awarded literature though, and it is handled like any other literature of current interest. The awarded literature is of high quality, according the librarians, who also think quality is a criterion that should be rewarded. Librarians are also regarded as a competent group as to evaluate quality and judge literature accordingly. augustpriset litteratursociologi nobelpriset attityder bibliotekarier folkbibliotek litterära priser Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
4	Betydelsen av ett Nobelpris : Hur Boris Pasternaks Nobelpris i litteratur bidrog till att sprida hans författarskap / The Effects of a Nobel Prize : How Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize in Literature Contributed to Disseminating his Authorship Petersson, Isak January 2014 (has links) Denna studie undersöker och belyser sambanden mellan ryske författaren Boris Pasternaks erhållande av Nobelpriset i litteratur (1958) och spridningen av dennes författarskap. Syftet med studien är dels att definiera Nobelprisets roll som kulturspridare, men också att problematisera kulturprisers komplexa funktioner och inflytande över kulturell produktion. För att göra detta har två områden analyserats: Pasternaks utgivning på svenska samt dennes förekomst i svensk dagspress mellan 1953–2013. I analysen påvisas Nobelprisets starka konsekrerande effekt på ett författarskap såväl som prisets förmåga att på lång sikt kanonisera en författare. I enlighet med Englishs teori om hur kulturpriser verkar som medium för kapitalutbyte, framgår det också i analysen hur flera involverade intressenter kapitaliserat på Pasternaks pris genom att växla in kulturellt, ekonomiskt och medialt kapital. I analysen förtydligas dessutom hur kulturprisapparaten skapar och förstärker kulturellt värde, och hur dess inflytande därmed inte inskränker sig till den kulturella scenen utan också har möjligheten att påverka den allmänna politiska opinionen. / This study explores and sheds light upon the relations between Russian author Boris Pasternak’s Nobel Prize in Literature (1958) and the subsequent proliferation of his authorship. The study’s aim is partly to define the Nobel Prize and its role as a distributor of culture, but also to problematize the complex nature of cultural prizes and their influence over cultural production. In order to do this two areas have been analysed: Pasternak’s publication in Swedish and his occurrence in Swedish daily press between 1953–2013. The analysis exemplifies the strong consecrating power of the Nobel prize, as well as its ability to, in a longer perspective, solidify an author into a literary canon. In line with English’s theory on how cultural prizes have come to serve as forums for capital intraconversion, it is also evident in Pasternak’s example how several of the involved parties have capitalized on the prize by trading cultural, economic and medial capital. Furthermore, the analysis concretizes how the cultural prize apparatus produces and reinforces cultural value, and consequently not only influences the cultural scene, but also has the potential to sway public political opinion.

5	Identitetens pris : Kritik, priser och kapitalcirkulation på det litterära fältet Bengtsson, Johanna January 2014 (has links) The aim of this study is to study the construction of literary values. I have been looking at how literature awarded with sponsored literary prizes has been reviewed in four major English and American newspapers. I have been studying the reception of literature by Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel, Colm Tóibín and Zadie Smith between 2000 and 2012. The prizes in focus are the Man Booker Prize, the Orange prize for fiction and the Costa Awards. There seems to be an increasing number of articles related to each author after they have been awarded a prize, however with little change in the content of the reviews. The non critical articles seems to move towards a more personal angle. I have also found that critics tend to position the authors’ works in comparision to canonised authorships rather than discussing the literature as awarded.
