Horror and Postcolonial Guilt in Abo Rasul’s Unfun

In this article, Abo Rasul's Unfun (2008) is analysed as an example of race horror. The novel is read along two axes: 1) a medial trajectory along which Unfun is understood as a contemporary horror film pastiche in dialogue with Carol Clover's Men, Women, and Chain Saws, and 2) a literary trajectory along which Unfun is understood as a postcolonial novel in dialogue with Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899/1902). I examine these two intersecting trajectories in light of collective guilt and postcolonial melancholia-terms used by Paul Gilroy in After Empire (2004). What this reading reveals is how Rasul ultimately implicates his Scandinavian reader in post-1989 racism, imperialism and globalization.

Contiguity as Device: The Metonymical in Tor Ulven’s Poetry This article localizes the metonymical elements in Tor Ulven’s poetry. In his essays, Ulven expresses an awareness of the limitations of metaphor in representation. Yet, the poetic consequences of this metaphor skepticism have gained little attention. Through an analysis of some frequent motifs in Ulven’ poetry, the article investigates how Ulven makes use of contiguity, rather than similarity, as a principal poetic device. It also argues that his particular use of the word “som” (like/that) does not primarily function as a way of creating relations of similarity, but rather as a relative pronoun, where “som” activates the subordinate clause by introducing a verb. The purpose of the article is to shed light on the correspondences related to contiguity that permeate Ulven’s poetry and that, it is argued, are central to his poetic imagery.
