| Notes | ['Judgment/evaluation :\r\n-\tPositive about author: \r\no\tReason : moral (religion related)value: pantheism\r\no\tReason : aesthetic value:\r\n"edustaa lapsekasta näkemyksen iloa, vaivatonta ja värikästä satufantasiaa" (represents childish joy of vision, easy and colorful fairy tale fantasy)\r\n\r\n-\tPositive about work\r\no\tsee above, her work is "beautiful fairy tale", suitable for everyone\r\n-\tNegative about author\r\no\tReason : lack of aesthetic value\r\n-\tNegative about work\r\no\ttaiteessa "jotakin muodotonta ja rajoissa pysymätöntä, kuten koko siinä naisellisessa luonnonprinsiipissä jota mystiikka edustaa" ([in her art there is] something formless that does not keep in borders, as there is in the whole feminine principe of nature, that mysticism represents) \r\n\r\nTaking the author seriously (or not):\r\n-\tReference to [good/bad] reputation already acquired \r\n-\tMention of success\r\n-\tMention of award(s)\r\n\r\nRecurrent elements of image building (gendered clichés, anecdotes) :\r\n-\tnone\r\n\r\nFinancial aspects, referring to :\r\n-\tnone\r\n\r\n\r\nComparisons to/mentions of other women authors : [provide names, with perhaps short comment]\r\n- none\r\n\r\nComparisons to/mentions of male authors : [provide names, with perhaps short comment]\r\n- Shakespeare (has the same nature mysticism), in general: literature stands for reason today in contrary to Lagerlöf\'s work\r\n\r\nComparisons to other countries : [provide names of countries, with perhaps short comment]\r\n- none\r\n\r\nGender-[biased comments : ]\r\n-\tCorresponds (or not) to female norms: fantasy, mysticism, look above\r\n\r\nConsidering the author’s use of (a minor) language as:\r\n-\tnone\r\n\r\nThe famous writer L. Onerva is ambivalent towards Lagerlöf\'s work: her feminine mysticism is "a weakness" and "an enchantment". The conclusion is negative: Onerva asks, why Lagerlöf did get the Nobel-prize but Ibsen died without it and Tolstoi, Anatole France and Strindberg are still waiting for it. The answer is that the Nobel board is conservative and rewards only idealistic works.\r\n\r\nJW2013'] |
