S3 – 3. Tone Selboe: The 19th-Century Novel and Situations of Sympathy

3 februari 2023

Om avsnittet

In this episode, Karin Kukkonen interviews Tone Selboe, Professor in Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo, about her research on feelings in the "big" 19th-century novels, such as Anna Karenina. They adress so-called 'situations of sympathy', how these novels relate to our socially contingent everyday emotions, how they explore the possibility of sympathy — and in which way the legacy from the 19th-century novel is carried on today.
