| Streszczenie: | Relatives as caregivers play a central role in the provision of health and social services in society, and their unpaid work accounts for about 136,000 work years in Norway. In addition, children who are affected by illness is significant, but difficult to quantify. Despite the fact that the vast majority of us become caregivers during our lives, this has historically been an invisible group. Caregivers have nevertheless been referred to as "the backbone of the welfare state". It is a beautiful but ominous metaphor. It sympathetically points to the crucial importance of the work of relatives and the burden that relatives who are affected by illness, bear.
In the shadow of illness. Scandinavian relative narratives in our time will contribute to strengthening a hitherto modest humanistic perspective within relative research. Through analyses of novels, short stories, poems, films and series that depict the experience of living closely and having to take responsibility for sick partners, family members and friends, the spotlight is directed at personal relative experiences. The anthology is a groundbreaking work in which literary scholars from Norway, Sweden and Denmark analyze different forms of relatives' narratives from Scandinavian literature, culture and media. The anthology is aimed at students, academics and actors within the health and care sector who are concerned with the relatives' perspective. The book is also aimed at all relatives who want to find their own experiences reflected, discussed and put into perspective.
