In the text world of Bunny Ragnerstam were all equals
Suddenly I get knows through my scanian father -in -law that Bunny Ragnerstam Have been dead for a few weeks. If I go Google everything, I find a small rune in it Ystads Allhanda. It is not about his extensive authorship, but focuses anecdotal on a translation he made. This may not be so unexpected. Ragnerstam wrote some of the best documentary novels from the 70s, but unfortunately he ended up in the cloud of the genre-giant PO Enquist And Po Sundman.
The most famous book series from Ragnerstam is about social conflicts in the 1880s Kristianstad, started with “Before the Day Dry” (1974). The books were rigorously investigated: Ragnerstam knew exactly how a fiery discussion could sound in a good Templar lodge or how tiring the work was with a lime of lime. In the text he placed in meeting minutes, Noten newspaper notes, an entire party program for the newly started social -democratic party.
Programmatic he avoided having a protagonist – the time of the characters in the text of the text was measured by the ruler. He was just as careful not to be colored by a prepared history that write about the modern breakthrough. Two lines of the contemporary tent project can be Hans Credo: “So the story starts now / and the future is today”. As a reader you got a stunning feeling of how tiring it was to build popular movement Sweden.
Does that sound boring? Not at all. Ragnerstam, like no one else, managed to create a bustling, stringing feeling in his lyrics, while he did not withdraw to use the soap opera as a form. As the discussion about the political direction of the President of the Good Temple Log between two limestone employees for Gaggig, he moved the lens to the dance track where a blacksmith student and his girl walked for the first time.
I myself thought several times that someone should have made a socialist “different worlds” of the book series when it started (which I later discovered that it was actually done, “The Crows” in 1988). Ragnerstam was experimental – but the experiment was not in rejecting the grip of the popular culture in the modernist spirit. On the contrary, writing a democratic text in which the word and the spotlight were fairly distributed. In the text world of Ragnerstam everyone was the same and everyone had the right to put his hand on.
I can miss the discussion that the novels of Ragnerstam have been implicitly performed. What is a democratic text? How do we consider the story from below? These issues not only lasted Ragnerstam, but several of the great writers of the 20th century. But who is investigating them today? The 21st century is characterized by a debate on diversity and recording in culture, but creating a democratic aesthetics, a democratically written writing is slightly larger. Whether Ragnerstam managed to be discussed. Unfortunately, it might not be that relevant – when democracy is dismantled outside the text. Ragnerstam’s books assumed that democracy had been brought deeper into man.
