Lars Elleström – författare

Ordning och reda, systematik och klassificering utgör all vetenskaps början. Som varje vetenskapsgren har litteraturhistorien sitt särskilda sätt att ordna stoffet och sitt eget förråd av termer och begrepp. Period, genre, nationallitteratur, troké, barock och tragedi – vad menas egentligen med sådana ord? Hur används de och hundratals liknande? Samtidigt som Litteraturhistoriens grundbegrepp lämnar svar på dessa frågor visar den på det varierande och ibland motsägelsefulla i olika perioders och forskares terminologi och sätt att närma sig diktkonsten. Mycket har hänt sedan Staffan Bergsten gav ut den första upplagan av denna bok. För revisionen i föreliggande upplaga svarar en yngre forskare, Lars Elleström, som kompletterar med dagens sätt att se på gamla frågor, som t.ex. den litteraturhistoriska kanon. Han har också sörjt för att nyare skönlitterära texter förts in som belysande exempel. Framställningssättet är genomgående resonerande och analyserande, men tack vare ett utförligt register kan boken också tjäna som uppslagsbok. Boken är avsedd för studenter i litteraturvetenskap vid universitet och högskolor.

I denna lärobok presenteras grunderna för lyrikanalys och lyriktolkning. De viktigaste termerna och teorierna förklaras och appliceras på ett brett urval texter, från antikens kärleksdikt till dagens rocklyrik. I framställningens exempel analyseras det svårbegripliga lika väl som traditionella klichéer, det högstämda lika väl som vulgära infall.Boken disponeras utifrån tanken att lyrik främst når oss via två sinnen: synen och hörseln. Vi läser lyrik eller lyssnar på den och upplevelsen grundar sig på bild och ljud, vare sig det gäller bilder i vårt inre eller rytmer som får luften att vibrera. Vissa dikter måste ses för att begripas till fullo, andra måste höras för att dess kvaliteter ska gå fram, medan ytterligare andra uppfattas lika bra med ögon som öron.Lyrikanalys är i första hand avsedd för grundutbildningen i litteraturvetenskap och på lärarutbildningen. Denna andra upplaga är redaktionellt genomgången och har fått en ny form. I samma serie ges samtidigt nya upplagor av Dramatikanalys och Epikanalys ut.

This collection offers a multi-faceted exploration of transmediations, the processes of transfer and transformation that occur when communicative acts in one medium are mediated again through another. While previous research has explored these processes from a broader perspective, Salmose and Elleström argue that a better understanding is needed of the extent to which the outcomes of communicative acts are modified when transferred across multimodal media in order to foster a better understanding of communication more generally. Using this imperative as a point of departure, the book details a variety of transmediations, viewed through four different lenses. The first part of the volume looks at narrative transmediations, building on existing work done by Marie-Laure Ryan on transmedia storytelling. The second section focuses on the spatial dynamics involved in media transformation as well as the role of the human body as a perceptive agent and a medium in its own right. The third part investigates new, radical boundaries and media types in transmediality and hence shows its versatility as a method of analyzing complex and contemporary communicative discourses. The fourth and final part explores the challenges involved in transmediating scientific data into the narrative format in the context of environmental issues. Taken together, these sections highlight a range of case studies of transmediations and, in turn, the complexity and variety of the process, informed by the methodologies of the different disciplines to which they belong. This innovative volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in multimodality, communication, intermediality, semiotics, and adaptation studies.

This open access book is a methodical treatise on narration in different types of media. By reconstructing the theoretical framework of transmedial narration, this book enables the inclusion of all kinds of communicative media forms on their own terms. The treatise is divided into three parts.

This open access book promotes the idea that all media types are multimodal and that comparing media types, through an intermedial lens, necessarily involves analysing these multimodal traits.
