  The article calls attention to how snow and ice are embodied as grievable entities in Nordic 21st century climate change fiction, arguing that contemporary fiction is a valuable apparatus for processing ecological mourning. The author draws theoretically on Ashlee Cunsolo’s work on ecological grief, while the overarching research question is how scientific warnings about global warming and shrinking cryosphere are dealt with emotionally and aesthetically in Nordic literature. A comparative analysis of the Scandinavian cli-fi novels Den afskyelige (»The abominable «, 2016), written by Danish Charlotte Weitze, and Steffen tar sin del av ansvaret (»Steffen takes his share of the responsibility«, 2009), by Norwegian Christian Valeur forms the backbone of the article. In both novels, the young protagonists are realizing that snow is a scarce resource, close to disappearing. Facing this fact arouses interrelated emotions of grief, guilt and confusion, but also gallows humour, gratitude and pride. From these observations, the author argues that fiction may play a crucial role for a deeper understanding of the emotional complex of climate anxiety, grief and resilience.

  The dissertation is a historical examination of the dissemination of literature, literary studies and book reviews in Norwegian radio in the period 1925–2000. There has never before been conducted a comprehensive study of this literary and pedagogical practice. Radio history, cultural journalism in general and the dissemination of literature in non-text-based media are all under-researched fields of study, in both literary and media studies. The dissertation is an attempt to improve this situation. The presentation takes as its starting point three overarching research questions, which taken together form the dissertation’s project: Firstly, the question of literary evaluation and its practice in radio is examined. What is the radio specific history of literary criticism, its form and content? Secondly, the relationship between the dissemination of literature and national Bildung in a public sphere where literature increasingly has been challenged by other media is considered. What are the characteristics of the relationship between the radio-mediated national arena and literature and literary studies? Thirdly, the dissertation analyses how the material qualities of the radio medium affect the literary content. These three research questions are closely related and are studied virtually simultaneously. The central tension discovered through this investigation is located between the conflicting purposes of literary dissemination in Norwegian radio. The powerful institutional position of a state-owned broadcaster has made it a complicated endeavour to balance entertainment, Bildung and literary evaluation. The dissemination of literature can entail everything from book reviews and historical lectures to interviews with writers and conversations with readers, to readings and dramatizations. All these forms of dissemination are discussed here, even if the book review and its practice is most often analysed. For the greater part of 1925–2000, Norwegian radio has been tantamount to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, and this institution’s importance for the development of radio in Norway can hardly be overstated. The dissertation offers an unusual view on literary history’s history and the self-conception of literary studies, by combining media-specific and institutionally historical perspectives on the material. It also develops new knowledge about the forms of literary comprehension have been possible to communicate at different times in Norwegian broadcasting. Finally, the dissertation makes available new insights into the historically changing position of literature in the Norwegian public sphere.
