    Indigenous Hauntings: Nordic Gothic and Colonialism2020Inngår i: Nordic Gothic / [ed] Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Höglund, Yvonne Leffler, Sofia Wijkmark, Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2020, s. 125-146Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter observes that while several studies of Anglophone Gothic has noted the close connection between Gothic and imperialism, very little of the scholarship that exists on Nordic Gothic has considered this dimension. This should be attributed not only to the general reluctance by scholarship to look beyond Anglophone Gothic, but also to the widespread belief that the Nordic countries remained outside the nineteenth-century colonial project. Referring to several studies that show that the Nordic nations were, in fact, eager participants in the colonial project, the chapter then discusses a number of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Nordic Gothic texts, with a focus on the fiction of Peter Høeg, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir and Anders Fager, and on the Swedish-French television series Idjabeaivváš (Jour Polaire/Midnight Sun/Midnattssol 2016). These texts are used to argue that Nordic Gothic, sometimes directly and sometimes furtively, addresses colonial concerns and that this tradition shows the same ambivalence towards this colonial past and present as does international Gothic.

    Microbial Gothic in the Anthropocene2018Inngår i: The 14th International Gothic Association Conference Hosted by the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies Manchester, July 31st-August 3rd, 2018: Gothic Hybridities : Interdisciplinary, Multimodal and Transhistorical Approaches, 2018Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    In a recent article, postcolonial critic Dipesh Chakrabarty interrogates Kantian anthropocentrism by noting that human existence – the ecosystem as well as the human species as such – originates from microbial life. Microbes are in fact still the planet’s dominant life form, outnumbering and even outweighing, in the words of Martin J Blaser, “all the mice, whales, humans, birds, insects, worms, and trees combined—indeed all the visible life-forms we are familiar with on Earth” (13). As such, microbes are absolutely essential to the survival of the planet, but also the most vulnerable to human ecological intervention in the form of pollution, global warming, or the introduction of antibiotics into the ecosystem. Yet, viruses, bacteria and microscopic fungi are, to the extent that they are discussed and represented at all, almost invariably perceived as a threat to human existence. Chakraberty thus asks “Could we ever be in a position to value the existence of viruses and bacteria hostile to us, except insofar as they influence—negatively or positively—our lives?” (390).

    This paper seeks to answer this crucial question in relation to Gothic and Horror representations of the encounter between humanity and microbial life. The paper first notes that Gothic and Horror typically tell stories where microbes transform humans into raging, undead carnivores. The paper then investigates a series of narratives that make use of this trope but that employ it to enable a different understanding of microbial existence and agency. With particular focus on J M Carey’s The Girl with all the Gifts (2014) and its sequel The Boy on the Bridge (2017), the paper argues that Gothic is in fact capable of critiquing the anthropocentric perspective to value even the existence of microbial life seemingly hostile to humanity.

    Militarizing the Vampire: Underworld and the Desire of the Military Entertainment Complex2012Inngår i: Transnational and Postcolonial Vampires: Dark Blood / [ed] Johan Höglund, Tabish Khair, Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012, s. 173-188Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter explores the double nature of the vampire through a reading of the film Underworld, one of many contemporary narratives that picture the vampire as militarized and inherently Western. The chapter is especially concerned with the ways that the vampire as Western champion has been appropriated by what has been theorized as the Military Entertainment Complex (Lenoir) or the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network (MIME-NET) (Der Derian). The military entertainment complex can be understood as a coming together of what Eisenhower termed the military-industrial complex and the entertainment industry, fuelled by the revolution in information technology and by US neo-imperial ambitions. In this way, the chapter seeks to explore the relationship between the dual nature of the vampire, the military entertainment industry, US foreign policy after 9/11 and what is perhaps best described as the technological/imperial desire that informs so much American popular culture today.

    Nordic Gothic New Media2020Inngår i: Nordic Gothic / [ed] Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Höglund, Yvonne Leffler, Sofia Wijkmark, Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2020, s. 169-190Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter maps and analyses new Gothic media and video games developed in the Nordic region. The chapter first considers what the concepts Gothic and Nordic actually entail when the focus is new media rather than literature or cinema. This is followed by analyses of four of the more important and widely disseminated games and considers the interactive stories they tell in relation to the Nordic geographical, ideological and cultural landscape. The first two, Finnish Alan Wake (2010) and Swedish Little Nightmares (2017), are well funded and internationally distributed games made for an international audience. The other two, Swedish Year Walk (2013) and Norwegian Through the Woods (2016) are independent games that may look for wide dissemination, but that keep much closer to Nordic themes and settings.

    Please Kill Me: Euthanasia and the Imperial Gothic2013Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Although separated by a century, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1898) and the AMC television series The Walking Dead (2010-) both describe how Gothic forces transform Western subjects into contagious, abject and cannibalistic Others that need to be disposed of through ritualized violence: in Dracula with the stake through the heart, in The Walking Dead through the headshot. In both narratives, the killing of the Gothic Other is celebrated as a heroic confrontation between good and evil. In their readings of the Victorian gothic, Stephen D. Arata and Patrick Brantlinger have both argued that these absolute categories must be understood in relation to Empire where gothic Others such as Dracula represent Oriental invaders, set on vengeful, reverse colonisation of the Empire. Similarly, more recent scholarship by Kyle Bishop, Timothy Fox and Christian Thorne suggest that the modern Gothic also relies on an imperial dynamic and that the zombie often personifies the Middle Eastern terrorist or Asian imperial competitor. In this way, the killing of the transformed Gothic Other can be understood as encouraging a form of metaphorical imperial violence.

     

    While this reading of the Victorian and modern Gothic is fundamentally convincing, it should be noted that the violence perpetrated against the Gothic Other is sometimes seen as deeply tragic and needs to be understood as a form euthanasia rather than as heroic intervention. In Dracula, Arthur Holmwood reels when he has finally finished driving the stake through the heart of his undead fiancée Lucy. In The Walking Dead, survivor Morgan Jones shakes with tears and grief as he aims his hunting rifle on his now cannibalistic zombie wife who stumbles through the streets below. In fact, those infected by the Gothic Other often ask to be euthanized before the transformation is complete: “Please kill me”. Those who respond are seen as performing acts of terrible mercy rather than combating gothic evil.

     

    These sequences subtly complicate the imperial reading of these and other Gothic texts. Focusing on euthanasia in the Gothic, this paper discusses the different reasons why the border between the modern citizen and the Gothic Other is so porous and easily transgressed. If late nineteenth-century British imperialism argued that racial, social and cultural categories are absolute, the Gothic often introduce those same categories only to have them infect each other. In this way, the infectious and invasive nature of the gothic Other always allows a certain amount of metaphorical transculturation or counterculturation to occur. As Rick Grimes observes in The Walking Dead, “we are all infected”.

    Revenge of the Trolls: Norwegian (Post) Colonial Gothic2017Inngår i: Edda. Nordisk tidsskrift for litteraturforskning, ISSN 0013-0818, E-ISSN 1500-1989, Vol. 117, nr 2, s. 115-129Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Recent studies by Naum and Nordin, Fur, and Keskinen et al. suggest that the Nordic nations participated in the pan-European colonial project of the nineteenth century and that they also pursued an internal colonial project through the invasion of Sápmi. This realisation constitutes a vantage point from which Nordic culture can be revisited and re-examined as (post)colonial. With this in mind, the article examines how the Norwegian films Troll Hunter (2010) and Thale (2012) engage with the repressed history of Nordic colonialism. Like many other Gothic films that discuss colonial matters, they are ambivalent, concurrently supporting and disturbing the imperial notions that they bring to the surface. Particular attention is devoted to how the films situate modernity in relation to a metaphorical indigeneity that they imagine as both attractive and abject, and to how they visualize categories of gender and race in relation to this indigeneity.

    Skirting Hybridity: Translating Racial Anarchy in Richard Marsh’s The Surprising Husband2012Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    As Elaine Showalter, Paul Gilroy, Mary Louise Pratt, and R. C. J. Young have suggested, the late nineteenth century was a time when Englishness was fraught with difference, even in a state of racial and sexual anarchy. This suggests not only that Englishness (or indeed to be “Western”) was a less homogeneous and stable position than assumed by the British at the time. In addition to this, this anarchy and flux led to new hybrid forms of Englishness that transformed British society.

     

    This process was recorded by, and is often studied through, literature. Thus, the writings of Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad can be perceived as attempts at resolving the constantly changing category of Englishness by either completely rejecting the Other (Stoker), or by finding (arguably failed) ways of including the Other in new forms of Englishness (Kipling, Conrad). However, some writers, such as Richard Marsh, seem to both reject and embrace the possibility of the Other. Thus, this paper seeks to demonstrate how Marsh’s fiction resonates with several concurrent yet conflicting voices through a reading of his gothic melodrama The Surprising Husband (1908). In the novel, which discusses miscegenation in early nineteenth century Britain in surprising ways, Marsh attempts to translate the racial anarchy that was prevalent in his society into a coherent narrative, but the text fails to hybridize on any level. Instead, I argue, Marsh negotiates the racial challenge to Englishness through a heterogeneous but not hybrid text where English and subaltern voices speak simultaneously. Marsh’s text thus maps the rifts that occurred in English society rather than the hybrid states that these rifts eventually produced.

    The American Imperial Gothic: Popular Culture, Empire, Violence2014Bok (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The imagination of the early twenty-first century is catastrophic, with Hollywood blockbusters, novels, computer games, popular music, art and even political speeches all depicting a world consumed by vampires, zombies, meteors, aliens from outer space, disease, crazed terrorists and mad scientists. These frequently gothic descriptions of the apocalypse not only commodify fear itself; they articulate and even help produce imperialism. Building on, and often retelling, the British ‘imperial gothic’ of the late nineteenth century, the American imperial gothic is obsessed with race, gender, degeneration and invasion, with the destruction of society, the collapse of modernity and the disintegration of capitalism.

    Drawing on a rich array of texts from a long history of the gothic, this book contends that the doom faced by the world in popular culture is related to the current global instability, renegotiation of worldwide power and the American bid for hegemony that goes back to the beginning of the Republic and which have given shape to the first decade of the millennium. From the frontier gothic of Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly to the apocalyptic torture porn of Eli Roth's Hostel, the American imperial gothic dramatises the desires and anxieties of empire. Revealing the ways in which images of destruction and social upheaval both query the violence with which the US has asserted itself locally and globally, and feed the longing for stable imperial structures, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of popular culture, cultural and media studies, literary and visual studies and sociology.

    The Discordant Aesthetics of the New Imperial Gothic in Justin Cronin’s The Passage2012Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    In the wake of what David Harvey has termed New Imperialism, the imagination of the early twenty-first century has become increasingly catastrophic. In Hollywood blockbusters, best-selling novels, computer games, popular music, art and even political speeches, the world is consumed by vampires, zombies, meteors, aliens, viruses and terrorists. These overtly gothic descriptions articulate and even help produce new forms of imperialism. Building on, and often retelling, the British “imperial gothic” (Brantlinger 227) of the late nineteenth century, the new imperial gothic is obsessed with race, gender, degeneration, invasion, the destruction of society and the collapse of modernity. In this way, contemporary gothic comes across as fundamentally conservative and, to quote Teresa Goddu, in Gothic America, remains "continuous with official narratives, even when it apparently contradicts them." (2).

     

    From this perspective, it is tempting to dismiss the new imperial gothic as a hopelessly conservative and commercialized cultural formation that is best ignored. However, a focus on the contradictions that Goddu mentions with the aid of transcultural theory produces a more nuanced view. With a focus on Justin Cronin’s apocalyptic and critically acclaimed novel The Passage (2010), this paper seeks to investigate how contemporary gothic is sometimes able to query the very power structure that has arguably spawned it. This ability can be related to the novel’s creation of contact zones where transcultural meetings take place. These meetings are described as simultaneously catastrophic and necessary and the hybrids that are produced are similarly double natured; at the same time the monstrous Other and images of our own imperial desires. In this way, the novel allegorically maps both the current imperial landscape and suggests ways in which the borders that separate real and imagined categories can be crossed or dissolved

    A Corpus Stylistic Analysis of Development in Hemingway's Literary Production2021Inngår i: The Hemingway Review, E-ISSN 1548-4815, Vol. 40, nr 2, s. 71-93Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This article describes an attempt at introducing the quantitative perspective available through corpus stylistics into the discussion regarding Hemingway's linguistic development throughout his career. By building a corpus of Hemingway's fiction, previous statements and research into the author's style are explored through part-of-speech tagging and diachronic presentations of data regarding word class distributions, sentence lengths, and lexical density. This method combines literary theory with contemporary advances in digital humanities to offer a nuanced investigation of underlying text patterns that are otherwise frequently overlooked.

    Abstract [en]

    National or ethnic collectivities are often coded in art, propaganda, and other media as “female”—passive, possessed, and penetrable by the enemy other. Particularly during times of conflict, the nation or homeland is depicted as a woman whose purity must be protected by men. Feminist explorations of this phenomenon have often focused on the language and practice of sexual violence against women in war. Mary Layoun’s discussion of Cypriot fiction raises a different possibility: when women transgress group boundaries and make their own choice to pursue sexual relationships with the other, this rupture of dominant ideologies opens up new ways of thinking about identity but may also end with those disruptions being suppressed and crushed. This article uses Layoun’s ideas to inform a close reading of two recent novels written in Arabic, both of which depict Muslim-Jewish amatory relations in a way that counters stereotypical ideas about how such relationships are seen in the Arab world.

    Monochrome Films in the Classroom: An Investigation of Black-and-white films in Swedish Junior High Schools2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The focus of this essay is to investigate if old monochrome films can be beneficial to use in the classroom. The aim is to research how (if at all) old monochrome films can affect students’ possibilities of learning from film. To investigate this matter, three fields will be of interest: First, how students respond to films according to ideas of identity; secondly, how films teach students about history; third and finally, qualities of monochrome films and how students might understand and relate to them. The findings in this essay suggest that old monochrome films are viable to use in the classroom, as they can teach students about history and previous cultures by being created in history themselves. The essay also suggests that old black-and-white films and newer films are quite similar, suggesting that monochrome films are just as adequate material to use in the classroom as newer films.

    Challenging Hegemonic Masculinity Through the Use of Epic Fantasy: Using The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson to analyze hegemonic masculinity and its potential for classroom appropriation.2022Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this thesis is to argue that using the novel The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson to explore the concepts of gender roles, with masculinity and its hegemonic aspect at the forefront, through the fields of gender studies and gender pedagogy, will provide grounds for meaningful classroom discussions and activities in the Swedish upper secondary school by drawing parallels between the fictional society presented in the novel and our own. 

    Three main traits of hegemonic masculinity are analyzed and applied to the characters Kaladin, Dalinar and Jasnah, namely physical assertiveness, egocentric individualism, and domination. The novel’s potential for use within the Swedish upper secondary school, specifically in the course English 7, is analyzed. The domination trait of hegemonic masculinity was found noticeably absent in the three protagonists, while this trait could be found amongst the novel’s antagonists. Potential was found in using the novel to lessen the effects of the boy crisis in the Swedish school system.

    ”Jag tycker det är roligt att läsa”: En empirisk studie om hur läsläxan kan påverka elevers läsintresse2022Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Studiens syfte är att undersöka elevers läsintresse och vilket samband det kan ha med deras läsläxa. Resultatet grundar sig på kvalitativa intervjuer från 16 elever och två lärare från två olika skolor. På den ena skolan får eleverna själva välja litteratur till sin läsläxa och på den andra skolan har eleverna en gemensam läsläxbok i klassen. Studien undersöker huruvida elevernas läsintresse skiljer sig beroende på om de får välja litteratur själva eller inte. Tidigare forskning beskriver betydelsen av att eleverna får välja böcker som de är intresserade av men också att det finns många andra faktorer som påverkar elevers intresse för läsning såsom läsförebilder och hemmiljö. Under intervjuerna framkom det att alla elever som får välja sin litteratur själva gillar att läsa och att de elever som blir tilldelade bok har ett mer varierat intresse. Eleverna som får välja sin läsläxa själva läser också i större omfattning generellt sett än vad de elever som har en gemensam läsläxbok gör.

    Kan brandmannen vara en flicka?: En empirisk studie om elevers uppfattning om yrken i relation till kön.2023Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Förevarande studies är att undersöka elevers uppfattningar om yrken i förhållande till kön och huruvida elevens könstillhörighet har påverkan på deras inställning. Studien ämnar även att studera om litteratur kan inverka på elevers uppfattningar om yrken. Resultatet grundar sig på insamlad empiri från 24 elever samt intervjuer med hälften av de medverkande. Det insamlade materialet består av teckningar där eleverna ritar och namnger tre fiktiva yrkespersoner, brandman, snickare och lärare. Teckningarna och intervjuerna sätts i relation till varandra och analyseras slutligen kvalitativt. 

    Tidigare forskning beskriver att det finns en stereotyp uppfattning om flertalet yrken och vem som kan arbeta med vad. Forskning belyser även att flickor är underrepresenterade i barnlitteratur, att flickor ofta porträtteras könsstereotypt samt att en bred representation i barnböcker av hur flickor respektive pojkar kan vara är betydelsefullt för barns självbild. Föreliggande studies resultat visar att litteratur kan ha inverkan på elevers uppfattningar om yrken. Det insamlade materialet indikerar även att eleverna är medvetna om att alla kan arbeta med alla yrken, oberoende könstillhörighet, men att de förhåller sig enligt normen vid samtal om deras eget framtida yrke.

    Föräldrasamverkan på det mångkulturella fritidshemmet: Fritidshemslärarens syn på föräldrasamverkan2017Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Studiens syfte är att belysa fritidslärarnas uppfattningar om fritidsverksamheten samt deras upplevelser av föräldrasamverkan på det mångkulturella fritidshemmet. Arbetet bygger på en kvalitativ ansats där jag använt mig av semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod för att kunna besvara mina frågeställningar.

     

    Studien utgår från ett hermeneutiskt synsätt och jag har valt att använda mig av kvalitativa intervjuer. Där intervjuerna har skett med fyra respondenter på två olika mångkulturella fritidshem. Resultatet visar att den föräldrasamverkan som förekommer är genom föräldramöten och framförallt genom dropin-fika. Men fritidslärarna vill ända att man som vårdnadshavare kan visa lite mer intresse och engagemang för sina barns tid på fritidshemmet.

    Omgiven av en oändlig ocean: En intertextuell analys av Robinson Crusoe och Mr Foe2018Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en intertextuell analys identifiera vilka kopplingar som finns mellan Robinson Crusoe och Mr Foe och hur man skulle kunna använda verken i en undervisningskontext utifrån Edward W. Saïds teori om orientalism och intertextuellt perspektiv. Analysen utgår från Edward W. Saïds teori om dikotomier och hur fördomar kan accepteras som sanningar, samt Martha C. Nussbaums teori om beskrivande chauvinism och romantik. I analysen framkommer det att kopplingarna i Mr Foe främst anspelade på Crusoes romantiska bild av ön där han är härskare och Fredag är hans tjänare. Genom att diskutera Fredags olika roller i verken menar jag att man kan föra en diskussion i klassrummet där eleverna får öva sig i att se maktförhållandet i västerländsk syn på utomeuropeisk kultur.

    Kan Keene, Lindgren & Trenter bidra till lösningar på värdegrundsarbetets gåtor?: En studie om tre barndeckares didaktiska potential för svenskämnets värdegrundsarbete i årskurs 4–62023Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka tre skönlitterära verk inom barndeckargenren och dess potential inom ett didaktiskt värdegrundsarbete inom svenskämnet. Undersökningen inriktar sig på elever i årskurs 4–6. Studiens syfte och frågeställningar innefattar det didaktiska arbetet kring makt- och vänskapsrelationer samt etik och moral. Studiens analys och resultat visar på fördelar med användandet av skönlitteratur i undervisningen och kan medföra att svåra eller känslomässigt jobbiga situationer kan bearbetas utan att det har en negativ effekt på elevernas känsloliv. Malin Alkestrand och Lena Kåreland är två av de forskare som används i denna studie för att lyfta de förrespektive nackdelar med involvering av skönlitteratur i undervisningen. Vidare beskrivs barndeckargenrens potential och mer specifikt potentialen i Kitty och den svarta rosen (1998), Mästerdetektiven Blomkvist lever farligt (1981) och Det brinner! (2011) i arbetet med värdegrundsrelaterade frågor i skolan.

    Bilder som stöd för läsförståelse: En studie av tre moderna utgåvor av Alice i Underlandet2016Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this study is to investigate the illustrations in a classical children’s book in order to see how the pictures can support reading comprehension during reading aloud in the classroom. The study analyses three different Swedish editions of Alice in Wonderland with the aid of analytical questions inspired by Maria Nikolajeva’s analysis in Bilderbokens pusselbitar (2000). The three editions show dissimilarities in the use of illustrations to assist pupils in their understanding of the text. One of the editions in particular stands out in that it provides detailed pictorial information in connection with descriptions of people and places that pupils might otherwise find hard to understand.

    To Teach or Not to Teach?: An analysis of depiction of trauma in Waris Dirie’s and Cathleen Miller’s ”Desert Flower” and trauma narratives as sensitive issues in the EFL classroom2019Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This essay examines Dirie’s and Miller’s Desert Flower and its depiction of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and the effect that this violation has had on the narrator. The analysis has been conducted through the critical lens of trauma studies with emphasis on how bearing witness of traumatic events can serve as healing and empowerment in the struggle to end FGM. As the multicultural classroom has grown extensively over the past years, the demand for an intercultural awareness is placed on the schools, where the pupils are to be given the chance to develop an understanding and acceptance of people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This essay argues that, in spite of the dilemmas that often occur when teaching trauma as a sensitive and controversial issue, Desert Flower can in fact be used in the EFL classroom to engender intercultural awareness as well as offering the pupils a chance to develop self-actualization and social consciousness.

    En studie i Sherlock: En komparativ studie utifrån tre svenska översättningar av A study in scarlet ur ett didaktiskt perspektiv2018Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna studie syftar till att se vilka skillnader som går att urskilja mellan tre olika svenska översättningar av Arthur Conan Doyles A study in scarlet. Vidare syftar studien också till att se hur dessa skillnader förhåller sig till den så kallade nyöversättningshypotesen, som menar att varje ny översättning blir allt mer lik källtexten, samt de olika översättningsideal som varit norm under respektive tillkomsttid. Genom dels en kvantitativ analys och dels kvalitativ närläsning studeras språkliga, kulturella och övriga faktorer. Studien visar att nyöversättningshypotesen främst går att verifiera gällande språkliga faktorer och att samtliga översättningar till stor del speglar sina respektive samtiders översättningsideal. Det gör att lärare i de flesta fall kan välja översättningar efter hur bra deras respektive samtidsideal passar läsningens didaktiska syfte. Studien visar också på olika aspekter i A study in scarlet som i översättning försvårar läsarens förståelse av texten, vilket också är nyttigt för lärare att vara medvetna om i val av utgåva.

    Jämställda läromedel?: En studie om framställningen av kvinnor och män i läromedel för Svenska 12016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The study aims to analyze whether two selected teaching materials intended for Swedish 1 published in 2014 and 2015 reflects the gender equality in Gy11. The study consists of a quantitative analysis and a discourse analysis that focus on how often and in what way women and men are depicted in the teaching material. The analyzed teaching materials are the textbooks Svenska 1 – helt enkelt and Fixa språket 1. The result shows that both books are quantitatively equal since men and women get almost as much space in the text and the image. However, the genders are depicted in different ways and constitute the norm in separate areas. The textbooks can even be said to be  heteronormative. The result also shows that both textbooks raise gender equality issues, which should be seen as positive because education, according Gy11, should be characterized by a gender equality perspective.

    La representación de mujeres en la literatura ecológica: ¿Con una agencia transcorpórea?: Una comparación ecofeminista entre las novelas Mugre Rosa y Noxa2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    Las crecientes preocupaciones sobre el cambio climático y una creciente crisis ecológica se están volviendo cada vez más visibles en la literatura de diferentes géneros, especialmente en la literatura postapocalíptica y "cli-fi" (literatura sobre cambio climático). Reconociendo que el desastre ecológico afecta a las mujeres de manera desproporcionada, esta tesina emplea un análisis literario ecofeminista para examinar dos novelas en las que la trama principal está impulsada por una crisis ecológica causada por la contaminación. Más específicamente, esta tesina investiga la novela Mugre Rosa de Fernanda Trías (2021) y la novela Noxa de María Inés Krimer (2016), para descubrir qué estrategias utilizan las protagonistas femeninas para enfrentar sus situaciones peligrosas y cómo esto moldea su agencia desde un punto de vista ecofeminista.

    La tesis encuentra que las protagonistas de ambas novelas emplean varias estrategias para sobrevivir y a veces resistir la crisis ecológica que las rodea, pero también muestran momentos de apatía, rabia e inacción. Hay diferencias significativas entre las novelas, donde la protagonista de Noxa es retratada como más activa en la lucha contra la crisis y la protagonista de Mugre Rosa es más apática y furiosa. Esto se discute luego en términos de agencia transcorpórea y vulnerabilidad insurgente (Alaimo 2008, 2009).

    Finalmente, la tesina también discute de qué manera estas representaciones pueden transmitir unas preocupaciones ecofeministas al lector. Argumenta que muchas preocupaciones ecofeministas son visibles en ambas novelas, que van desde una crítica al capitalismo patriarcal hasta el control de los cuerpos femeninos, pasando por cuestiones de maternidad y monstruosidad, hasta finalmente la relación entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza. Esto demuestra la necesidad de un análisis más profundo de las preocupaciones ecológicas en la literatura, lo cual es probable que se vuelva cada vez más presente en estos tiempos.

    Den medvetna Medea: intersektionell analys och värdegrundsfrågor2019Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Euripides tragedi Medea författades för närmare 2500 år sen, under den grekiska antiken. Denna epok är en självskriven del i litteraturundervisningen då den ligger till grund för den västerländska litteraturen och den västerländska uppfattningen om litteratur. Enligt Gy11 ska kvinnliga författare vara representerade vid litteraturundervisningen. Då detta krav är svårt att uppfylla presenterar många läromedelsförfattare istället Medea för att ge ett kvinnligt perspektiv på den grekiska antiken. I denna studie framhålls att ett kvinnligt perspektiv inte är tillräckligt för att analysera tragedin. Utifrån en intersektionell analys av genus, social klass och etnicitet analyseras de maktstrukturer som manifesteras i tragedin. Studien visar även tragedins didaktiska potential i klassrummet enligt Alkestrands (2016) definition. Genom att arbeta med tragedin i klassrummet utifrån aspekterna genus, social klass och etnicitet och upptäcka hur dessa makstrukturer påverkar karaktären Medea, kan eleverna komma till insikt gällande vilka makstrukturer som möter dem i det vardagliga livet.

    Disseminating Shakespeare in the Nordic Countries: Shifting Centres and Peripheries in the Nineteenth Century2022Collection/Antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Charting the early dissemination of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries in the 19th century, this opens up an area of global Shakespeare studies that has received little attention to date. With case studies exploring the earliest translations of Hamlet into Danish; the first translation of Macbeth and the differing translations of Hamlet into Swedish; adaptations into Finnish; Kierkegaard's re-working of King Lear, and the reception of the African-American actor Ira Aldridge's performances in Stockholm as Othello and Shylock, it will appeal to all those interested in the reception of Shakespeare and its relationship to political and social conditions.

    The volume intervenes in the current discussion of global Shakespeare and more recent concepts like 'rhizome', which challenge the notion of an Anglocentric model of 'centre' versus 'periphery'. It offers a new assessment of these notions, revealing how the dissemination of Shakespeare is determined by a series of local and frequently interlocking centres and peripheries, such as the Finnish relation to Russia or the Norwegian relation with Sweden, rather than a matter of influence from the English cultural sphere.

    Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa hur samhällsutvecklingen avspeglas i barnbilderböcker och hur barn och vuxna inom sjukvården framställs. De barnböcker som ingår i undersökningen är

    När Lasse Larsson åkte ambulans av Ann Mari Falk och Tord Nygren (1966), Emma hos doktorn av Gunilla Wolde (1977), Malin på besök hos doktorn av Bengt Fahlström (1983), Aj! eller när jag hamnade på sjukhus av Ann Forslind (1994) och Händiga Hanna lagar pappa av Titti Knutsson & Lisen Adbåge (2007). Utifrån metoden och teorin kritisk diskursanalys belyses böckerna, och textanalyserna kompletteras med analys av bild och grafisk form. Resultatet visar att budskapet framförs allt mer i bilderna. Olika former av påverkan från medier i det omgivande samhället, och samverkan mellan bild, text och grafisk form blir tydligare än i de tidigare böckerna. Det omgivande samhället och dess värderingar avspeglas i barnböckerna genom tidstypiska familjekonstellationer, hemmiljöer och arbetslivsskildringar och i relationen mellan barn och vuxna i sjukvården.

    Abstract [en]

    The main purpose of this essay has been to investigate whether Patrick Süskinds novel “The Perfume” contains capitalism-critical elements.Although this has never been stated by the author publicly, it does not escape most readers, that the novel does indeed contain several socially criticalpoints, among them a critique on capitalism and capitalist behaviour.The study shows that the novel exhibits several features that are consistent with critics of capitalism, such as the theories of Marx and Weber among others. Four areas have been selected for analysis of the novel. These areas are exploitation, greed and ambition, competition, and accumulation. The result of the study shows that the novel contains several signs of capitalismcriticism, and that many descriptions of the figures and events in the novel can be linked to it.

    Berikande perspektiv?: En studie av gymnasieelevers attityder till skönlitteratur2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Studien syftar till att, med utgångspunkt i framför allt Rosenblatts transaktionella perspektiv på det skönlitterära läsandets potential, undersöka några gymnasielevers inställning till skönlitteraturens möjligheter att vara ”en källa till självinsikt och förståelse av andra människors erfarenheter, livsvillkor, tankar och föreställningsvärldar” (Skolverket, 2011a). I studien deltar 16 elever från Teknikprogrammet i en enkätundersökning. Ett av resultaten som framträder i studien är att elevernas angivna motiv till att läsa skönlitteratur i hög grad skiljer sig från legitimeringarna av och motiveringarna för litteraturläsning i läro- och ämnesplan.Samtidigt visar deras svar på andra ställen i undersökningen, och framför allt deras reaktioner på och tolkningar av Stig Dagermans novell En mindre tragedi, att de faktiskt besitter en förmåga att ur den fiktiva texten utvinna insikt, både om sig själva och sin omvärld.

    Bringing Dragons Back Into the World: Dismantling the Anthropocene in Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings2021Inngår i: The Enduring Fantastic: Essays on Imagination and Western Culture / [ed] Anna Höglund; Cecilia Trenter, Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2021, s. 124-139Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings is a vast and sprawling epic fantasy series, consisting of four trilogies and one tetralogy, all taking place in the same world and concerning events surrounding the same part of that fantasy world’s history, namely the return of dragons to the world. Although scholars and critics have focused mainly on the queer potential of one of the series’ main protagonists, the androgynous and gender-ambivalent Beloved or the Fool, the series also very clearly function as a comment on the geological and critical concept of the Anthropocene. 

    The usefulness and correctness of the Anthropocene, referring to the geological epoch when humans make a significant impact on the earth, is debated among both natural scientists and critical humanities scholars. Nonetheless, it has come to be used as an analytical concept for studying how the arts and popular culture reflect, comment on, critique and/or can increase awareness of the impact of human beings on nature and the climate.

    Hobb’s fantasy world of the Elderlings sheds light on the Anthropocene. One reason for bringing back dragons into the world is so that humans will no longer be at the top of the food chain. In addition, Hobb has created a magic ability called the Wit, giving the character endowed with it communication with animals and a connection with all living things. Focusing mainly on the second trilogy of the series, The Tawny Man, this chapter discusses how Hobbagain and again draws attention to what it means to be human in the world

    The past that Haunts the Present: The Rise of Nordic Gothic2020Inngår i: Nordic Gothic / [ed] Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Höglund, Yvonne Leffler, and Sofia Wijkmark, Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2020, s. 11-28Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    There is a long non-realist tradition in Nordic literature and film that goes back to the Romantic period. This tradition frequently employs typical Gothic tropes, it seeks to evoke feelings of terror and horror, and it negotiates, as Gothic is understood to do, the complex tension between the human subject and Enlightenment modernity. Due to a striking reluctance by generations of Nordic literary critics and scholarship to recognise a Gothic tradition in the region, it was not until the late 1980s that the existence of Gothic fiction in the Nordic countries began to be systematically explored through a number of studies by Yvonne Leffler.1 Since the turn of the millennium, different Nordic writers and aspects of Gothic have been investigated by Scandinavian scholars such as Mathias Fyhr, Henrik Johnsson, Sofia Wijkmark and Kirstine Kastbjerg.2 Some introductions and surveys of the Scandinavian tradition have also been published.3 Building on this scholarship, this chapter will trace the Nordic Gothic tradition from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century to the present moment. The aim is to provide a picture of how the Gothic tradition emerged in the Nordic region and to show how Nordic writers, filmmakers and, towards the end of the twentieth century, game producers, make use of Gothic tropes and themes. Several of the authors and filmmakers mentioned in this chapter will be discussed in more detail in other parts of the book.

    “Man’s Time a Moment, and a Point His Space”: Exploring Humanity’s Position in Nature in The Hunger Games and Essay on Man, and Potential Implementations into an Upper Secondary School Setting2018Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This essay investigates how the view of nature and humanity’s position in the great chain of being has changed from the Enlightenment to present day. In order to do so, Alexander Pope’s Essay on Man and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games are used. In addition, pedagogical implementations of the two texts in an upper secondary school education are suggested.

    The analysis of the texts indicates that the view of humanity’s position in nature has shifted from a role of “guardian” or “conqueror”, superior to animals, to a role where humans are equal to other organisms in an ecosystem. Because of this shift, discussions surrounding the texts in an upper secondary school setting may provide students with opportunities to develop necessary skills, such as speaking, critical thinking and the ability to give constructive criticism.

    Att läsa på och mellan raderna: En studie av inferenser i textsamtal om en bilderbok.2017Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The main purpose of the study is to see if there is a difference in level of inferences pupils do with different amount of teacher support during text conversations. The focus of the text conversations is making inferences and asking questions to the text with the purpose to make balanced inferences. The selected pupils were in grade three and took part in a text conversation on a picture book. The groups were, by the teacher, pre-divided into a group of weaker readers and a group with stronger readers. The differences between the groups was not known before the study and is therefore considered a coincidence.

    The lessons the groups took part in are based on David A. Kolb (1984) experiential learning model and the teaching model reciprocal teaching (RT). Together they are the foundation of the text conversations. RT focuses on reading strategies and the teachers role in the development of reading comprehension and Kolb focuses on the different phases of learning.

    The result from the two lessons are analysed with the purpose to find level differences in the inferences the pupils do on balanced inference questions and non balanced inference questions. The results from the two lessons are compared with the aim to see if there is a difference between lessons with more teacher support, and lessons with less teacher support.

    The study shows that there is a difference in inference levels between the two lessons and the conclusion is that it is necessary to give weaker readers greater teacher support. This is then transmitted to concern all students in their early reading because a greater teacher support in learning reading strategies gives a better reading comprehension.

    book was selected on the basis of loan statistics in a multilingual school. At the third

    place in the statistics was the most lent student-selected picture book Alfons and Milla

    (Bergström, 1985) which is the focus of this study. The book was analysed as to its

    accessibility in three different ways: the accessibility to the relationships revealed in the

    illustrations of the book, the accessibility to the interaction between image and written

    text, and also the librarian’s influence regarding the physical accessibility of the book.

     

    The study reveals that the relationships between the characters in the book were

    often implicitly expressed and therefore an advanced literate understanding is required

    to understand the relations between the characters and to get access to the whole story.

    The correspondence between texts and images were often weak as the texts did not

    explicitly describe what was really happening in the image but instead described other

    things. This means that to completely understand and get access to the interaction

    between text and image the reader must have developed a rather advanced literate

    competence. Regarding the physical access to the book, the librarian actually tried to

    minimize the physical accessibility to the book in favour of other books.

     

    The conclusion of the study is that the reader must be able to make many

    interpretations to grip the implicit meanings in the book. Such interpretations require

    quite an advanced literate competence. The book is popular among the multilingual

    pupils which show that they find pleasure in the book in one way or another even

    though they might not understand all implicit relations. The didactic implication of the

    study is that the pupils might need explicit teaching about how to reveal implicit

    meanings in literature in order to make them get a deeper understanding of the books

    they read. This is also a way of supporting their development of critical literacy.

    Lord of the Rings, Lord of Nature: A postcolonial-ecocritical study of J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and its implications in the EFL classroom2018Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This essay examines J.R.R Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings through the application of a theoretical framework of postcolonial ecocriticism, endeavoring to discern the author’s concerns and the environmental and colonial underpinnings interwoven in the novel through a thematic analysis focusing on the concepts of pastoral, nature, wilderness and development. The results show that Tolkien undoubtedly projected his profound sentiments for environmental disruption as a product of a rapidly changing world during his lifetime. Although Tolkien’s trilogy is a work of high fantasy written in a different context, this essay argues that it is valid for scrutiny in relation to contemporary society. Furthermore, this study investigates the implementation of the text in the Swedish EFLclassroom with the purpose of raising students’ awareness for, and investment in the environment, whilst improving their all-round communicative skills, ultimately educating for a sustainable future.
