Abstract

Moderna švedska književnost nezamisliva je bez kriminalističkog žanra koji se u Švedskoj počinje razvijati početkom prošlog stoljeća. Žanr je doživio svojevrsnu evoluciju, krenuo je od traženja uzora pa i oponašanja stranih književnosti, do toga da je danas švedski, odnosno skandinavski krimić uzor drugim književnostima. Ozbiljnije promjene u žanru počinju 50-ih godina prošlog stoljeća kada se u Švedskoj pojavljuju prvi soc-krimići. Ta se djela javljaju kao reakcija na koncept folkhemmeta (društva blagostanja), društva koje je izvana izgledalo savršeno, ali unutar kojeg su postojali veliki problemi koji su poslužili kao motivacija za razvoj soc-krimića. Zlatnim dobom žanra smatra se period 60-ih i 70-ih godina kada nastaju djela dvojca Sjöwall i Wahlöö. Njihova serija od deset romana o Martinu Becku (Roman om ett brott) tematizira zločine od kojih se neki temelje na istinitim događajima, a do kojih je došlo zbog društvenih i kulturoloških promjena proizašlih iz države blagostanja.

Abstract (english)

Modern Swedish literature would be unimaginable without crime novels, which, in Sweden, began to develop at the beginning of the last century. The genre underwent a certain evolution, starting off as a search for models, followed by the imitation of those models to becoming a role model for crime novel writers around the world today. In Sweden, serious changes within the genre began in the fifties and this is the first time that crime novels assume the elements of social criticism. Those novels were a direct response to the concept of folkhemmet (welfare state), a society that looked perfect on the outside, but within which many problems could be detected. These problems served as a motivation for the development of the welfare crime fiction. The 1960-s and 70-s are considered the golden age of this genre, represented by Sjöwall and Wahlöö. Their series of ten novels about Martin Beck (Roman om ett brott) focuses on the crimes, some based on true events, that were triggered by social and cultural changes created by the welfare state.
