ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many debts have been incurred during my work on this book. The book is, in many ways, the product of the support of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Linnæus University in Växjö. My department has not only given me the opportunity to pursue my research and teaching interests but also granted me two sabbaticals, in 2012 and 2014, spent in the USA. These sabbaticals were generously funded and supported respectively by STINT (Stiftelsen för internationalisering av högre utbildning och forskning) and by the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Students, in particular in Växjö but also at Williams College, Massachusetts, and Aarhus University, have tested the method demonstrated in this book, mostly (!) with good humor and energy, and therefore have provided me with critical insights and new adjustments to my method. Friends and colleagues in Lund, Växjö, Aarhus, and Kristiansand have stimulated and constructively criticized my thoughts and ideas; special gratitude goes out not only to attendees of the research seminar in Växjö (Högre Seminariet) but also to my friends and colleagues in more specialized working groups: the Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal studies at Linnæus University, the Liter
