Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By and large, Sweden's place in film history is secure and prominent. Swedish films are associated with Ingmar Bergman's successful and high-quality works. However, another breed of Swedish film is notorious for its laissez-faire attitude towards nudity and relaxed sexuality. Produced in the back yard of the Swedish film industry, these sexually daring films join countless sensational movies that deal with shocking or taboo subjects - street punks, space aliens, hard drugs and drunken Vikings. Ekeroth delves into Swedish culture and returns with an overview of 'Sensationsfilms'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When The Silence was released in 1963, Bergman's stature allowed the film's depiction of sexuality to challenge the boundaries of the censorship boards in Sweden and the U.S. Yet, Swedish film critic Maaret Koskinen - one of the first scholars given access to Bergman's private papers - found his notebooks revealed his tendency to self-censorship, as well as the difficulties he experienced in writing for the medium of moving images. She draws a picture of Berman that reveals his attempts to make his work relevant to a new generation of filmgoers.

Download or read book Swedish Mentality written by Åke Daun and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1996-01-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a distinctly Swedish national character? Are Swedes truly shy, unemotional, conflict-avoiding, melancholy, and dour? Swedish Mentality, the English translation of the hugely successful book published in Sweden in 1989, considers the reality behind the myth. The author, Åke Daun, is a respected ethnologist who is sometimes referred to as the "guru" of Swedish character. In recent years, it has become popular to discuss Swedishness and Swedish identity. The advent of the European Union and the increasing presence of immigrant refugees in Sweden have fueled public debate on the distinctiveness of Swedish culture. Daun, however, goes beyond stereotype, drawing upon statistics gathered over more than a decade of research. The result is an entertaining and engagingly written book. Throughout, Daun quotes from interviews with native Swedes and immigrants as well as from travel accounts, folklore, and proverbs. We learn why some Swedes might prefer to walk up a flight of stairs rather than share an elevator with a neighbor and why some gain satisfaction from walking alone in the woods or going fishing. Daun describes a range of factors influencing Swedish character, including population composition, rural background, and even climate. He recognizes behavioral variations related to gender, age, class, and region, and he considers subtleties of individual character as well. Swedish Mentality should interest a wide array of readers, whether of Swedish descent or not.
