I conduct research at the intersection of literary history and media history. I am particularly interested in the conditions for reading and writing in relation to the media ecology of the 20th century.

My dissertation and first book, Verkar film: 1930-talslitteraturen i det svenska filmnätverket ("Seemingly Film: 1930s Literature in the Swedish Film Network", 2024), examines how Swedish literature was reshaped when moving images—following technological, discursive, institutional, and architectonic developments—became a comprehensive aspect in people’s everyday lives. This film network brought about a biopolitics of the eye aimed at creating a homogenized observer within the population, who could serve both the emerging Swedish welfare state and an accelerating capitalist consumer culture. Through close-readings of works by Karin Boye, Artur Lundkvist, Eyvind Johnson, Josef Kjellgren, and Erik Asklund, the book argues that the literature of the 1930s came to engage critically and productively with the network, while simultaneously incorporating—thematically as well as formally—its regulatory mechanisms.
