Abstract [sv]

Kampen och sårbarheten samlar ny forskning om nordisk arbetarlitteratur – ett av regionens mest betydelsefulla bidrag till världslitteraturen. I denna antologi möts etablerade forskare och en ny generation i analyser som belyser hur arbetarlitteraturen gestaltar liv, arbete och klass. Med utgångspunkt i spänningsfältet mellan kamp och sårbarhet undersöker boken både tradition och förnyelse: från proletariatets berättelser till dagens prekariat, från kanoniserade författarskap till nya röster och genrer. Här visas hur arbetarlitteraturen inte bara ger röst åt erfarenheter som annars förblir osynliga, utan också utvecklar litterära former och öppnar för nya sätt att förstå samhället. Antologin erbjuder perspektiv på över hundra års litterär praktik – och visar varför arbetarlitteraturen fortsatt är central för att förstå samtidens sociala och demokratiska utmaningar. Det är den åttonde antologin i en serie volymer knutna till Nordiskt nätverk för arbetarlitteraturforskning (Nordarb).

Abstract [sv]

Arbetarlitteratur bortom kanon diskuterar och utmanar gränserna för vad vi brukar uppfatta som en arbetarlitterär kanon. Här behandlas olika slag av litterära texter med anknytning till arbetarklass och lönearbete: från kampdiktning, uppbyggelselitteratur och annan folkrörelselitteratur, över tidningsnovell och proletärroman, till postmodern prosadikt, feministisk klassdiktning, folkhemskritiska serier och klassmedveten barnlitteratur. Boken ges ut av Nordiskt nätverk för arbetarlitteraturforskning. Nätverket har i hög grad bidragit till att arbetarlitteraturforskningen idag står stark i Norden, och denna bok syftar till att vidareutveckla intresset för arbetarlitteratur i ett bredare sammanhang.

Abstract [en]

This chapter analyses representations of cleaners in contemporary Western culture. It draws on theories of intersectionality (Krenshaw, McCall) and representation (Hall, Spivak) and reads narratives where the cleaner is the protagonist and cleaning is in focus: the Swedish award-winning biography of the Swedish writer (and cleaner) Maja Ekelöf (Jag har torkat nog många golv, 2022); Ekelöf’s award-winning bestseller Rapport från en skurhink (Report from a Scrub Bucket, 1970); the French Le Quai de Ouistreham (2010) as well as the film, Ouistreham (Between Two Worlds, 2022); the American television series The Cleaning-Lady (2022); and the Canadian bestseller The Maid. A Novel (2022). It argues that there has been a change in the representation of cleaners, and cleaning, and that it is now possible to talk about two dominant discourses: one old and one new. The old discourse is underpinned by the idea that cleaners work hard for their money under precarious conditions but are unable to represent themselves. The new discourse promotes the cleaner as a strong and admirable protagonist who undoubtedly can represent herself as well as others. Cleaning as a practice has also become more interesting to represent—the art of cleaning—and has the narrative function as Proust’s madeleine.
