Abstract

This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.

Abstract

I 'Bakom stadens kulisser' tar forskare från skilda discipliner med läsaren på strövtåg i Stockholm från tidigt 1800-tal till sent 1900-tal. Antologin tar sin början bland de första omstridda schweizerierna i Staden mellan broarna, passerar stadens nya centrum för konsumtion och förströelser på Norr, gör uppehåll på det fashionabla Östermalm och avslutas i de förfallna Klarakvarteren. Läsaren får besöka försvunna kaférum och slå in på det beryktade bordellstråket Norra Smedjegatan, träda in i undangömda kökstrappor, bevittna hemliga möten i Humlegårdens urinkurer och bekanta sig med de stora varuhusens upplysta skyltfönster. Vandringen avslutas bakom kulisserna på den svenska syndens stråk Klara porra under 1970-talet.
