Afterlives

Camilla Storskog is an Associate Professor of Scandinavian Studies at the University of Milan, Italy. In 2023, she is employed as an Adjunct Professor of Swedish Literature and Culture at UC Berkeley. She focuses on interdisciplinary research with special attention to crossovers between literature and the visual arts. Her first book-length study, Literary Impressionisms, focused on identifying and exploring resonances of impressionism in Swedish and Finland-Swedish literature. Her second book is dedicated to comic art adaptations of Scandinavian classics. It examines the ways in which works by H.C. Andersen, Ingmar Bergman, Karen Blixen, Karin Boye, Henrik Ibsen, Jon Fosse, and Zacharias Topelius have travelled across media, time, place, culture, and language, with emphasis on the aesthetics, techniques, and narrative machinery of storytelling in the medium of comics.

She has also worked extensively on travel writing, the historical novel, poetry, and the representation of scientists and technology in 19^th and 20^th-century Scandinavian literature.
