This open access volume offers original essays on how motherhood and mothering are represented in contemporary fiction and life writing across several national contexts.

This open access volume offers original essays on how motherhood and mothering are represented in contemporary fiction and life writing across several national contexts. Providing a broad range of perspectives in terms of geopolitical places, thematic concerns, and theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches, it demonstrates the significance of literary narratives for understanding and critiquing motherhood and mothering as social phenomena and subjective experiences. The chapters contextualize motherhood and mothering in terms of their particular national and cultural location and analyze narratives about mothers who are firmly placed in one national context, as well as those who are in “in-between” positions due to migrant experiences. The contributions foreground and link together the themes central to the volume: embodied experience and maternal embodiment; notions of what is “normal” or natural (or not) about motherhood; maternal health and illness; mother-daughter relations;maternality and memory; and the (im)possibilities of giving voice to the mother. They raise questions about how motherhood and mothering are marked by absence and/or presence, as well as by profound ambivalences.

This volume offers some of the outputs, challenges and opportunities created in an interdisciplinary programme that was set up to engage multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives on issues at the intersections of nature and culture, sex and gender. When working with mass spectrometers, microscopes, discourse analysis or interviews, one rarely has to explain them to colleagues. They are the tools used. But when working in inter- or transdisciplinary settings, such tools require explanations. These conversations make evident that trans and interdisciplinary (gender) research is a not just a novelty requiring an adjectival prefix ‘trans-‘ or ‘inter-’, it is something done, performed, practiced. Moreover it is something done in particular spaces, a consequence of particular meetings – transgressive encounters. This collection is built on work conducted under the GenNa: Nature/Culture and Transgressive Encounters Research Programme, funded by the Swedish research council. It brings together a range of scholars from the humanities, natural, physical, life, and social sciences by so doing it reflects on the challenges, risks and opportunities of doing trans- and interdisciplinary work. The result is a collection that uses a multitude of tools to examine issues such as sexual difference, hydro power exploitation, research seminars, dairy farming, the spaces between molecules, film and identity. They are witness to the diversity created through transgressive encounters and illustrations of doing inter- and transdisciplinary research.

Mamma, moderskap - orden bågnar idag av nya innebörder när tekniken och samhället förändras. Överallt hittar vi historier om moderskap i romaner, essäer, dikter, patientupplevelser, bloggar och digitala diskussionstrådar. Både i litteraturen och verkligheten handlar det om ensamhet och social isolering, men också om styrka och gemenskap.Mamma hursomhelst är en samling berättelser som reflekterar över erfarenheter från en mängd olika håll. Här blandas bidrag från forskare, kulturskribenter och skönlitterära författare. Boken innehåller berättelser om förlossningsdepression, om att vara pappa och gravid, om BB-vård, mor-dotterrelationer, tankar kring att vara adoptivmor, om att inte vilja eller inte kunna få barn, om att vara mamma i ett nytt land med ett nytt språk och mycket annat. En del texter handlar om djupt traumatiska upplevelser. Andra är skarpa och roliga granskningar som synliggör invanda mönster och vanetänkande. Boken inspirerar till samtal och idéer om ett högaktuellt ämne.Medverkande: Aase Berg, Ulrika Dahl, Emma Eleonorasdotter, Kristin Eliasson, Jenny Engström Baron, Erik Masao Eriksson, Margaretha Fahlgren, Gabriele Griffin, Anneli Jordahl, Christian Lenemark, Merete Mazzarella, Cilla Naumann, Cecilia Pettersson, Christine Rubertsson, Sigrid Schottenius Cullhed, Anna Soltorp, Maria Svenning, Sara Sylvén, Cecilia Torudd, Helena Wahlström Henriksson, Anna Williams.

This anthology examines the nature and consequences of cultural transfers – ways in which cultural, social and political/ideological elements cross national and cultural boundaries., how they are changed and how they affect the contexts in which they arrive. Processes of translation and adaptation play an important role, as do the roles performed by different actors – governmental, academic, and artistic. The Dynamics and Contexts of Cultural Transfers collects articles from the research network U4 (universities of Ghent, Groningen, Göttingen and Uppsala). They highlight questions of different power relations, of what is national and what is world literature, and how cultural transfer intertwines ideas on culture and literature.
