Solaris korrigert is a Norwegian narrative poem by Øyvind Rimbereid, published in 2004 in a book of poetry bearing the same title. The title can be translated into English as "Solaris Corrected", and is a reference to Stanisław Lem's novel Solaris. The poem is a 35 page narrative about a dystopic future, told in a fictional future language that is a mix of Rimbereid's Stavanger dialect, English, German and old Norse. The poem has won multiple literary awards, and has been adapted into a theatrical performance and an opera.

Narrative

The poem has been described as a "dramatic monologue"[1] with a lyrical I who is the overseer of a group of robots working on the bottom of the ocean in a future where robots have taken over much human work. The story is set in the year 2480, in "a future society owned, regulated, and controlled by what seems to be a privatized corporation".

Language

The language in Solaris korrigert is its most remarkable feature. Rimbereid has created "a future language for the post-industrial North Sea coast population"[2] that references both the hybrid language of early North Sea oil workers,[3] the code switching of internet-using Norwegians in the early 21st century and Euro English. The language has also been compared to early twentieth century avant-garde poetry, and in particular Soviet futurists like Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchyonykh, who dreamt of transnationalism languages.[4]

The opening lines demonstrate the strangeness of this constructed language:

It is easier to understand the text when reading it aloud, or if reading it while listening to an audio recording of Rimbereid reading the first few pages of the poem.[5]

The language has been described as "particularly fertile" because it "makes possible slack, shiftings and the occurrence of something new" [6]

Reception

Solaris korrigert has been the subject of many scholarly analyses.[7] It is commonly found on university level syllabi for Nordic literature and comparative literature degrees[8] [9] [10] [11] and is frequently the subject of MA theses.[12] [13] [14] [15]

Eirik Vassenden frames the poem as a critical dystopia, that is, it doesn't simply depict "a world worse than our own", which can, as Fredric Jameson has argued, make dystopias very conservative;[16] the poem in Vassenden's words "also contains possible utopian elements". Vassenden's analysis focuses on this element of hope in the poem.

In 2007 a jury of literary critics declared it one of the 25 best Norwegian literary works of all time.[17]
