Magnus Nilsson: From Proletariat to Precariat: Precarious Labor in Contemporary Literature

The title of the seminar is From Proletariat to Precariat: Precarious Labor in Contemporary Literature. At the seminar Magnus will present a text that he would like to discuss with us. Here are his comments on it:

This text is very much a work in progress.

I’ve been invited to give a talk about working-class literature and the precariat (https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/class). My idea is to write an article, which I can then use as the basis for my talk. The text is a draft version of this article.

I want the seminar to be a discussion about the text (not a presentation of my research interests), and I’m grateful for all kinds of comments. One thing that I would like to get feedback on is whether the text is intelligible for readers who are not familiar with Sweden and Swedish literature.

If you would like to read the text, please mail Magnus magnus.nilsson@mau.se.

The seminar will take place on Wednesday, March 30 at 10.15-12.00. It will be a hybrid seminar. Please either come to room NiB0501 or join online here:
