Linn Hansén
Nació en Gotemburgo, Suecia, en 1983. Su primer libro, Ta i Tra, fue publicado en 2008. Fue nominada para el Katapultpriset, el premio sueco Escritores Unión por el mejor debut de Suecia del año. Obras de Hansén han sido publicadas en varias revistas suecas y escandinavas. La poetisa también ha dado muchas lecturas alrededor de Escandinavia.
Además de su propia escritura, Hansen colabora con el Festival de Poesía de Gotemburgo, el Festival de Literatura Queer, y trabaja como editora de la revista cultural Glänta. Hansén es miembro de los colectivos de escritores de los tiburones y G = T = B = R = G. Durante el año 2009 participó en diversos proyectos de arte, como el espectáculo de danza No puedo creer que no es azúcar - cómo crear un grupo de danza moderna, que se creó en Gotemburgo Danza y Teatro festival.
En 2010 se involucró en la poesía y el rendimiento acordeón Vem Rallador por Jemma Blomhoff en colaboración con la poeta Lina Ekdahl y un músico.
La versión del poema es de Eduardo Valdez Lozano.
Qué es historia, he aquí la historia de ella que tiene pantalones.
Qué es historia, ella ha compartido su generosidad pero es historia.
Nadie te observa desde el balcón que es un hecho y no historia.
El amor emerge, eso no es historia es economía.
Uno puede observar placenteramente por semanas antes que cualquiera te diga que te detengas.
Esto es la historia, comienza y termina con un pago.
Es histórico ver derrumbarse algo que ha estado en pie por mucho tiempo.
Es histórico llorar un crimen.
Es histórico y traumático ver familia y amigos y vecinos darte la espalda.
La historia debería tener la capacidad de responder preguntas.
Finalmente las tropas invadieron Francia ¿es eso historia? No, es Geografía.
[Det finns barn...]
Det finns barn som är så glada att det inte märks. Barn som
skrattar för länge får röda eksem på olika delar av kroppen. Det
finns en salva man kan stryka på men det gäller att upptäcka
eksemen i tid. Gör man inte det, kan barnet senare få problem
med talet och de olika funktionerna. Man kan se barn som går
vingligt även i vuxen ålder.
[Mitt i Borås finns en hamn]
Mitt i Borås finns en hamn. Den är liten och börjar i ett hörn.
Vattnet rör sig knappt men båtarna. De kommer med last från
flera helt olika länder. Många barn besöker hamnen. Kaptener
springer mellan skeppen och ser till att allt går rätt till.
Omsättningen är enorm. I hamnen sprids sjukdomar. Många
barn får AIDS och måste vårdas i hemmet. Men så fort de är
friska går de till hamnen igen. Vattnet tar aldrig slut. Det ligger
stilla fast det blåser och skeppen avlöser varandra.
[När man lägger...]
När man lägger sig i snön börjar allting gå långsamt. Det kan
hända att det blir alldeles tyst. Man behöver inte ligga särskilt
lång stund för att förstå att det är dags att gå vidare. Ligger
man för länge skapas sprickor i jordskorpan. De märks inte
till en början men när våren kommer kan man se att det är
hål på flera ställen. Att laga sprickorna kan ta åratal och man
måste använda provisoriska material. Det är för att det riktiga
materialet är en så kallad icke förnybar energikälla.
[Vi gräver ner korv under sommarsäsongen]
Vi gräver ner korv under sommarsäsongen. Barn älskar korv.
De kan krypa i timmar med näsan mot marken innan de hittar
en korv och ändå ger de inte upp. Det är en fröjd för ögat.
Liksom för barnen. Det är få saker som gör barn så ivriga som
korv. Därför har vi utvecklat ett system för belöning/straff:
vissa dagar ligger det ingen korv i marken. Vi säger ingenting
förrän barnen blir hämtade igen. Då är de nära att svimma av
hunger. På så sätt får de veta att de gjort någonting fel. Få saker
biter så bra som korvstraff på barn. Dessutom är det en extra
stor glädje att dagen efter få se dem krypa igen. Hur de små
händerna gräver. Nästan ingenting gör en människa så glad som
åsynen av ett barn med en nyfångad korv mellan tänderna.
[Man åker in i Borås på en tungt trafikerad väg]
Man åker in i Borås på en tungt trafikerad väg. Ofta åker man
ut igen samma kväll, eller tidigt nästa morgon. Forskning kan
bedrivas på många olika sätt. Det ger inte alltid resultat. I Borås
finns flera forskningsinstitut. Ett av dem ligger vägg i vägg
med äventyrsbadet. Mycket framstående forskning kommer
därifrån. Vad den handlar om vill man inte berätta. Det enda
man med säkerhet kan säga är att det är inte så roligt som det
ser ut. Det har man bevisat nu, säger man. Det finns siffror
som talar sitt tydliga språk.
[In summertime we dig hot dogs into the ground]
In summertime we dig hot dogs into the ground. Children love hot dogs. They'll crawl about for hours, nosing the ground for hot dogs, never giving up. That's a delight to the eye. As it is to the children. Hot dogs will get children more excited than most things. Hence we've elaborated a structure of punishments/rewards: some days there aren't any hot dogs in the ground. We never say a thing until they are picked up again later. At that point they nearly faint from hunger. This way they'll know they have done something wrong. Not much have the same impact on a child as hot dog-punishment. Besides, the next day you’ll find a superior pleasure in once again seeing them crawl about. Such small hands all digging. Nearly nothing would give greater pleasure to man, than the sight of a child with a newly caught hot dog in her teeth.
[Nous enterrons des saucisses pendant la période estivale]
Nous enterrons des saucisses pendant la période estivale. Les enfants adorent les saucisses. Ils sont capables de ramper le nez au ras du sol pendant des heures pour trouver une saucisse, et ils n'abandonnent même pas. C'est un délice pour les yeux. Pour les enfants aussi. Peu de choses excitent autant les enfants qu'une saucisse. C'est pourquoi nous avons mis en place un système de récompense/punition : certains jours, il n'y a pas de saucisses à déterrer. Nous ne disons rien jusqu'au moment d'aller chercher les enfants. Ils sont alors presque morts de faim. De cette façon, ils apprennent qu'ils ont fait quelque chose de mal. Peu de choses rongent autant les enfants qu'une peine de saucisse. Le lendemain, la joie n'en est que plus grande de les voir ramper de nouveau. Les petites mains qui creusent. Il n'existe presque rien de plus réjouissant que la vue d'un enfant tenant une saucisse fraîchement déterrée entre les dents.

History.

To let oneself go is an activity that possibly will pay off in the long run.

and this happens a lot.
