Kjærstad, hyperroman og hieroglyffer
Jan Kjærstads seneste roman Tegn til Kærlighed handler om at finde de magiske skrifttegn, som fører til kærlighedens lige så magiske kraftfelt. Bogen går amok i bogstavernes taktile verden og deres religiøse betydningsindhold. Samtidig er romanens sætninger fyldt med ladede detaljer, hvor næsten hvert ord rummer en “linkmulighed”. Karen Wagner trækker i sit essay tråde til Kjærstads egne overvejelser om romanen i internettets tidsalder - og til den netop udkomne danske udgave af Nøgle til de ægyptiske hieroglyffer.

Bringing Scandinavian E-Lit in from the Edges
For centuries, Scandinavia comprised the “ends of the Earth” to continental Europeans. As A. E. Nordenskiöld’s 1889 Facsimile-Atlas notes, “Until the middle of the 16th century…geographers took no notice of what was situated beyond lat 63° N….” (54). Today’s e-lit map might look similar. Although Scandinavia produces many creative e-lit works, a relatively small number of critics have investigated them. It is likely that Scandinavian e-lit eludes most e-lit scholars because Scandinavian languages are less familiar than English, French, German, or Spanish. However, there are also a number of excellent works of Scandinavian e-lit in English. This talk will highlight some of these, such as Anders Bojen and Kristoffer Ørum’s Radiant Copenhagen. Radiant Copenhagen is a closed-loop work that plays brilliantly with multiple timelines, incorporating visual and textual elements. The reader navigates a geomap of Copenhagen to read a multiplicity of articles about the capital city.
