Fyra essäer om lyriska bilder som kan uppfattas som klichéer men som kan ruva på oupptäckta hemligheter. Latinforskaren Anna Blennow ger sig ut på jakt efter platsen, tillståndet och utopin Arkadien. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes ursprungligen i maj 2018. Vi ser – på avstånd – en oljemålning med pastoralt motiv. Några herdar har samlats i skuggan av ett träd, kring ett förvittrande gravmonument. De försöker tyda den latinska inskriften: Et in Arcadia ego. Vad händer här? Vad är det här för plats? Vänta, där kommer någon vi kan fråga. – Ursäkta, var ligger Arkadien? – Det beror på vem du frågar. – Vem är du? – Jag är döden. Jag finns också i Arkadien. Landskapet Arkadien är beläget i det bergiga inlandet av den grekiska halvön Peloponnesos. Denna plats med sin vilda natur ansågs under antiken vara guden Pans hemvist. Den grekiske författaren Polybios, själv född i Arkadien, har påpekat att invånarna där hade särskild talang för musik och sång. Men ändå verkar det inte vara i Grekland som Arkadien ligger. Ty inte bara döden, utan också vitt skilda personligheter som Johann Wolfgang von Goethe och Fritiof Andersson finns i Arkadien. Så fort en lämplig glänta öppnar sig med mjukt gräs, sval skugga och en glittrande bäck, glömmer herdarna sina hjordar, sätter sig och sjunger växelsång med varandra, I Nicolas Poussins 1600-talsmålning – den som vi just nu betraktar – syns de typiska ingredienserna i ett arkadiskt landskap: herdar i antikiserande dräkt med diktens lagerkransar kring pannan. Nymfer, fauner och flockar av får och getter syns visserligen inte på bilden, men väntar runt hörnet. Livet verkar lätt i Arkadien. Det verkar inte finnas ett moln på himlen. Men var är vi? Vissa hävdar att Arkadien uppfanns på trettiotalet före vår tideräkning. Det var då den romerske poeten Vergilius författade sina tio pastorala poem, de så kallade Eklogerna. Redan i den första dikten definieras platsen: Tityrus, du ligger utsträckt i skuggan under ett bokträd, där du spelar skogens sång på ett tunt litet vasstrå – jag har lämnat mitt fädernesland och de ljuvliga fälten jag har flytt mitt land, men Tityrus, där i skuggan, lär du skogen sakta besjunga din Amaryllis. Den som talar är Meliboeus, en fattig romersk herde som förlorat sin mark. Vergilius herdar befinner sig alltså i Italien. Ändå visar det sig att deras hemvist kallas Arkadien. Och herdarnas liv är enkelt, men ändå utsökt. Kärlek och äpplen, skogsgudar och sång. Framför allt sång. Så fort en lämplig glänta öppnar sig med mjukt gräs, sval skugga och en glittrande bäck, glömmer herdarna sina hjordar, sätter sig och sjunger växelsång med varandra, och spelar på en pipa en låt av gryningsluft. Men de mörka hoten mot det enkla livet väntar strax bortom skogsbrynet. Den vackre herden Daphnis, älskad av både kvinnor och män, dör och blir besjungen. Meliboeus har blivit av med sina ägor i det romerska inbördeskrigets efterföljd, medan Tityrus besök i Rom har gett honom friheten åter genom den gudomlige kejsar Augustus. Vergilius egen samtid blandar sig in i versens skogar. Trots sin grekiska födelseattest kom Arkadien nu att få Italien som alltmer permanent adress. Men med tiden ska till och med själva döden komma att stryka på foten. Renässanspoeternas Arkadien blir till kärlekens landskap snarare än diktens. Författare som Torquato Tasso och Jacopo Sannazaro använder de antika pusselbitarna för att planlägga en utopisk, sorglös tillvaro, och den behagliga gläntan i skogen genererar erotik snarare än poesi. Landskapet är en idyllisk kuliss. Fåren har blivit lamm och går i sidenband. Arkadien blir samtidens och verklighetens antites, ett drömspel dit dåtidens bildningsaristokrati kunde ta sin tillflykt. Att vara medborgare i Arkadien innebar inte längre bara att vara diktare och herde, utan snarare att vara i exil från någonting annat. Och Arkadiens ständigt föränderliga geografi kunde nu placeras till och med mitt inne i staden. Den litterära akademin Arcadia instiftades i Rom i slutet av 1600-talet, och hade drottning Christina som sin musa. Valet av beskyddarinna var högst arkadiskt: drottningen var såväl landsflyktig som poetiskt orienterad. Verksamheten kretsade kring diktning och språkets renhet, och de som upptogs i den arkadiska kretsen fick ett eget herde- eller herdinnenamn. Ja: även kvinnor var välkomna i den arkadiska akademin, så länge de kunde dikta. Trots sin grekiska födelseattest kom Arkadien nu att få Italien som alltmer permanent adress. Auch ich in Arkadien! utropade Goethe i sin italienska resedagbok. Också jag får vara i Arkadien! Dödens hotande närvaro ersätts med individens jag, som återföds i närkontakt med den klassiska marken. Och i Italien upplever en rad författare detsamma under det reseintensiva 1800-talet, från Madame de Staël till Lord Byron. Arkadien var inte längre bara verklighetsflykt. Det var inkörsporten till ett återvunnet paradis och ett nytt liv, och dess soldränkta entré, prydd av vinrankor och flankerad av citronträd, fanns strax söder om Alperna. Och återigen måste vi fråga oss: Är Arkadien en plats eller ett tillstånd? Printz-Påhlson pekar på att Arkadien ofta är just förlorat, barndomens och ursprungets landskap: det personliga Arkadien där vi alla en gång var prinsar och prinsessor. Göran Printz-Påhlson skrev en gång att poesin är den enda litterära genre som saknar en geografisk plats. Poesins värld är den inre. Tid och rum finns inte där. Med ett undantag: den pastorala poesin och dess Arkadien. Men platsen är ändå inte plats – den är en utopi, en metafor, en förlorad värld. Printz-Påhlson pekar på att Arkadien ofta är just förlorat, barndomens och ursprungets landskap: det personliga Arkadien där vi alla en gång var prinsar och prinsessor. Dikten och berättelsen om platsen blir hemkomsten. Och ofta smälter generella bildningsideal samman med den individuella, självbiografiska upplevelsen. Författaren Vilhelm Ekelunds alldeles egna Arkadien låg i Skåne. Där var han uppvuxen, i trakten av Stehag. Det skånska landskapet var för honom vägen till tanke och dikt. I essän ”Nordiskt Arkadien” vandrar han vid Kullaberg i nordvästra Skåne, medan havet stormar nedanför i klart solsken, ”samma ljusa storm som strålar och susar i rytmerna af sången som jag läser, i Pindaros' sång”. Den eufori som den grekiska poesin väckte hos honom planterades i landskapets och havets dramatik i ett dubbelt medborgarskap mellan ordlöst ursprung och inlärd bildning. En poet som på samma sätt väver samman plats, minne och bildning är Jesper Svenbro. I sina senaste diktsamlingar har han förankrat sina arkadiska bopålar djupt i den skånska myllan. Och hela det klassiska entouraget har han med sig. Sapfo tar bussen från Landskrona i diktsamlingen ”Ekeby trafikförening”, och i ”Namnet på Sapfos dotter” från 2017 blir Svenbros egen studietid spelplats för en utopisk värld där antikens Grekland flyter samman med skånskt 1960-tal i de ”examensuppgifter” författaren uppmanas genomföra. De idealiserade studierna blir för Svenbro den arkadiska startmotor som skapar dikt och som löser de poetiska problemen. Arkadien börjar få tydligare konturer. Det är en plats och ett tillstånd. Arkadien är den plats där dikten blir till, och där vi blir till. Den magiska glänta där tiden upphör och vi plockar versrader från den blommande marken. En tillflykt, men också en flygplats för minnet och tanken, där vi kan försonas med förlusten. Men såväl frånvaron som den intensiva, behagliga närvaron är bara början på den röda matta som rullas ut framför våra ögon: Välkommen! Detta är vägen till poesin.

The story of how the Lisu of southwest China were evangelized one hundred years ago by the China Inland Mission is a familiar one in mission circles. The subsequent history of the Lisu church, however, is much less well known. Songs of the Lisu Hills: Practicing Christianity in Southwest China (Penn State University Press, 2020) brings this history up to date, recounting the unlikely story of how the Lisu maintained their faith through twenty-two years of government persecution and illuminating how Lisu Christians transformed the text-based religion brought by the missionaries into a faith centered around an embodied set of Christian practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork as well as archival research, this volume documents the development of Lisu Christianity, both through larger social forces and through the stories of individual believers. It explores how the Lisu, most of whom remain subsistence farmers, have oriented their faith less around cognitive notions of belief and more around participation in a rhythm of shared Christian practices, such as line dancing, attending church and festivals, evangelizing, working in one another's fields, and singing translated Western hymns. These embodied practices demonstrate how Christianity developed in the mountainous margins of the world's largest atheist state. A much-needed expansion of the Lisu story into a complex study of the evolution of a world Christian community, this book will appeal to scholars working at the intersections of World Christianity, anthropology of religion, ethnography, Chinese Christianity, and mission studies. Byung Ho Choi is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History & Ecumenics, focusing on World Christianity and history of religions at Princeton Theological Seminary. His research interest lies in Indonesia and the Muslim dominant regions of Southeast Asia, from the postcolonial approach to Christianity and the coexistence of various religions, including the study of Christianity and the Islamic faith in a Muslim dominant society that includes challenges of ethnic diversity.

The story of how the Lisu of southwest China were evangelized one hundred years ago by the China Inland Mission is a familiar one in mission circles. The subsequent history of the Lisu church, however, is much less well known. Songs of the Lisu Hills: Practicing Christianity in Southwest China (Penn State University Press, 2020) brings this history up to date, recounting the unlikely story of how the Lisu maintained their faith through twenty-two years of government persecution and illuminating how Lisu Christians transformed the text-based religion brought by the missionaries into a faith centered around an embodied set of Christian practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork as well as archival research, this volume documents the development of Lisu Christianity, both through larger social forces and through the stories of individual believers. It explores how the Lisu, most of whom remain subsistence farmers, have oriented their faith less around cognitive notions of belief and more around participation in a rhythm of shared Christian practices, such as line dancing, attending church and festivals, evangelizing, working in one another's fields, and singing translated Western hymns. These embodied practices demonstrate how Christianity developed in the mountainous margins of the world's largest atheist state. A much-needed expansion of the Lisu story into a complex study of the evolution of a world Christian community, this book will appeal to scholars working at the intersections of World Christianity, anthropology of religion, ethnography, Chinese Christianity, and mission studies.
