ROMAN PICTURES

Being in a gloomy mood I looked through a file with some photographs I took one evening in Rome, some months ago. I had forgotten about them, though the solitary feeling they provided harmonizes well with the grey and rainy dusk lingering outside my window here in Hässleholm.

I began taking the photos while I walked down to our magazine where I often sit and write, there I ended up looking at some pictures in the art books I have laying around, before I decided for an evening stroll in the neighbourhood, watching the grafitti. A perishable art form that gradually disappears, as I hope my melancholy mood eventually will do as well. When I came home I gave our fish some food and went to bed.

Some friends of mine use to complain that my blog entries are too wordy, so here I give you one with almost no words at all:

ÄR PETER HANDKE VÄRD ETT NOBELPRIS?

The Swedish Academy decided to award the Austrian author Peter Handke the Nobel Prize in Literature for ”an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience." I do not understand what they mean by exploring the periphery of human...

A STRANGER IN HIS TIME

On the eighth of May this year I was in a heavy downpour driving through Germany. A nightmare since the major thoroughfares cutting through Germany and Italy nowadays are clogged by seemingly endless rows of monstrous trucks. Furthermore, when freed from...

EN FRÄMLING I SIN TID

Den åttonde maj i år körde jag ensam i hällregn genom Tyskland. En mardröm – de stora motorvägar som skär genom Tyskland och Italien är numera tillkorkade av till synes oändliga rader med monstruösa långtradare, dessutom stoppas den annars så vådligt fortkörande trafikströmmen gång på...

IN PRAISE OF FLOWERS

Here in Rome, spring is changing fast into summer. A few weeks ago, nature rested in anticipation of the explosion that followed. For a couple of days the sky has now been boundlessly clear blue and the street around the corner, constantly lined with parked cars, has after its dreary everydayness...

TILL BLOMMORS LOV

Här i Rom övergår våren snabbt till sommar. För några veckor sedan vilade naturen i väntan på den explosion som sedan följde. Under ett par dagar har himlen varit gränslöst klarblå och den bilbelamrade gatan runt hörnet har efter sin trista alldaglighet förvandlats till ett sagorike då...

MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN: Dugin and Bannon

Russian Collusion has lately come to signify a suspicion of Russia's interference in the 2016 US election campaign to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming USA´s president and secure Donald Trump's victory. Since then, the term has also come to denote Russia's alleged attempts to tear apart...

STORRYSSLAND: Dugin, Bannon och Putin

The Russian Collusion, kanske något i stil med den ryska intressegemenskapen, var till en början misstankar om möjligheten att Rysslands regering blandat sig i 2016 års amerikanska valkampanj i syfte att förhindra Hillary Clintons kandidatur och säkra Donald Trumps seger som USAs...

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY REPEATING: Hegel and The Iron Curtain

During my time at Lund University, it was in some radical cliques necessary to be familiar with Karl Marx's writings. However, any superficial knowledge was far from being enough, especially for someone who like me was not familiar with all intricate aspects of Marx´s Das Kapital, nor had...

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY REPEATING: Hegel och Järnridån

Under min tid på Lunds Universitet hörde det till allmänbildningen att vara insatt i Karl Marxs skrifter. För min del var det väl lite si och så med den kunskapen, men jag läste väl så pass mycket om och av honom att jag inte framstod som en inbiten högerkille, vilket jag för övrigt inte var. Men...

INTERPRETATIONS: Memories, Cucchi and Rimbaud

In school, I was asked by a Swedish teacher "interpret" the poem Lunaria by the Swedish poet Wilhelm Ekelund: Far from others you seem to stand, so strange and quiet, your gaze is yours and cold; but the depth is heavy with desire. Your mood is not like others. Though the sunny gully...
