Gisèle Sapiro is Professor of Sociology at the EHESS and Senior Researcher at CNRS. She has been hugely influential in sociology of literature, through works on connections between literature, law and politics in a Bourdieusian vein. Specifically she has studied prizes, translations and power dynamics within the literary field among other things. She’s translated to Nordic languages, for instance with Kan man skilja verket från författaren? (Verbal, 2023).
She has coedited The Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of Ideas (2023) and is author of The Sociology of Literature (Stanford UP, 2023) and The French Writer’s War (Duke UP, 2014). She was awarded a Humboldt-Forschungspreis in 2023.
Karl Berglund is Assistant Professor in Literature at Uppsala University. His research lies, with his own words, in the intersection of sociology of literature and computational literary studies. He is project member in the cross-disciplinary research environment «VOICE. AI-Generated Voices: Legal and Societal Perspectives». He has several contributions to the academic study of publishing, and also contributes to the public debate.
He has written about Swedish crime fiction, methods and audiobooks. He has coedited Litteratursociologi i nytt ljus (Uppsala universitet, 2024) and is author of Reading Audio Readers: Book Consumption in the Streaming Age (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024).
