anagnorisis

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀναγνώρισις (anagnṓrisis).

lbor

Det tredje ledet, anagnorisis, återuppståndelsen eller igenkännande som vid årsfesterna symboliseras av att trädet med sin nyutspruckna lövprakt bärs in som bevis på att livet ännu en gång återvänt, omtalas ofast enbart i mysteriespelen och ageras inte ut.

1986, Gunilla Domellöf, “Kapitel IV. Karin Boye och prosamodernismen”, in I oss är en mångfald levande, page 221:

The third element, anagnorisis, the resurrection, or recognition, which is symbolized at the annual festivals by the tree being carried in with its newly sprung foliage as evidence that life has once again returned, is most often mentioned only in the mystery plays and is not acted out.

I slutet får vi bevittna hur Fjalar, då han på höjden av sin självtillit får veta sanningen om sina barns öde, når fram till insikt om sin egen identitet. Detta sker genom yttre »anagnorisis», i Hjalmars berättelse, men främst genom inre: Avklädd sin rustning kommer Fjalar till insikt om sin maktlöshet. »Anagnorisis» kommer tematiskt och strukturellt också till uttryck som ett förhållande mellan att se och att inse.

2004, Kjell-Arne Brändström, et al., “Kung Fjalar. Kommentar av Kjell-Arne Brändström”, in Samlade skrifter XII:2, page 294:

In the end, we witness how Fjalar, when at the height of his self-confidence, learns the truth about his children's fate and comes to realize his own identity. This occurs through an outer "anagnorisis," in Hjalmar's narrative, but primarily through inner revelation: Stripped of his armor, Fjalar becomes aware of his powerlessness. "Anagnorisis" thematically and structurally also expresses a relationship between seeing and realizing.

Jag är en av dom som slavar på kung Keops pyramid, och det är vi som jobbar nere intill foten. Vi sliter och vi svettas för att inte tappa tid, och det är synd om dom som inte fyller kvoten. Har man en gång kommit hit blir man aldrig mera fri. Om man slutar här så slutar man i gropen. Men om kungen sägs att han är son av solen.

1972, Hoola Bandoola Band (lyrics and music), “Keops pyramid [Cheops' pyramid / Great Pyramid of Giza]”, in Vem kan man lita på? [Who can you trust?]:

I am one of those slaving [sounds more natural in Swedish] on King Cheops' pyramid, and it is we who work down next to the foot. We toil and we sweat to not lose time, and it is a pity for ["it is a shame about" in the sense of "one feels sorry for," roughly] those who do not meet the quota. Once you are here you will never again be free [If one has once come here becomes one never again free]. If you end up here you end up in the pit. But of the king is said that he is the son of the sun.

Compound of kula (“bullet”) + fång (“armfull; the volume between two outstretched arms”); compare with doublet fånga (“catch”). First attested in 1900. Cognate with Danish kuglefang and German kugelfang.

com+

Jag menar att det är frågan om en skjutning i vägens riktning och att det inte har funnits något fullgott kulfång. […] Den avgörande frågan som rätten nu har att ta ställning till det är om det fanns ett fullgott kulfång bakom älgen när jägaren sköt eller inte.

2011 November 30, “Yrkar på villkorlig dom för jägare [Prosecution calls for conditional sentence for hunter]”, in P4 Kalmar, Sveriges Radio:

I argue that this is a case of shooting in the direction of the road and that there has not been an adequate backstop. […] The crucial question the court must now consider is whether there was an adequate backstop behind the moose when the hunter shot or not.

Han hävdar dessutom att det var kulfång i marken när han sköt med sin nya halvautomatiska Ruger 10/22-bössa nära bostaden. […] Det var tio skott mot en betesvall som kulfång, hävdar skytten. […] Jag stod på en avsats och sköt neråt mot en svacka på åkervallen där jorden var kulfång.

2020 August 18, Anders Ljung, “Jägarens hus omringades av poliser [The hunter's house was surrounded by police]”, in Jakt & Jägare:

He also claims that there was a backstop in the ground when he shot with his new semi-automatic Ruger 10/22 rifle near the residence. […] He asserts that there were ten shots fired at a pasture bank that served as a backstop. […] I was standing on a ledge and shot downward into a dip in the field where the ground was the backstop.

En 25-åring utanför Hässleholm sköt en häst när han siktat på en räv. Det gör att han kan misstänks för grov oaktsamhet. Skottet med en klass 1-studsare avlossades vid ett öppet fält utan kulfång och var ”helt tokigt”, enligt polisen.

2024 February 22, Anders Ljung, “Polisen ser skjuten häst som grov oaktsamhet [Police consider horse shooting as gross negligence]”, in Jaktjournalen:

A 25-year-old outside Hässleholm shot a horse while aiming at a fox. This may lead to him being suspected of gross negligence. The shot with a Class 1 moose rifle was fired over an open field without a backstop and was “completely reckless,” according to the police.
