Fredrik Renard (Uppsala universitet): Falling Matters: On Weight and Gravity in Literature

From Dante’s falling to the ground upon hearing the tragic tale of Paolo and Francesca in Inferno to Sisyphus’s punishing task of endlessly rolling a boulder uphill in Tartarus, some of literature’s most memorable scenes are kinetic events shaped by weight and gravity. And yet, beyond familiar symbolic or allegorical interpretations, surprisingly little critical attention has been paid to gravity as something that structures not just the physical world but the lived experience of bodies in literature. In this talk, I present my research project, which asks: what has literature made of the fact that we and the objects around us are subject to gravity?
