    رودابه تجلی حماسی آناهیتا

     

    داستان زال و رودابه طولانی‌ترین داستان دلکش و عاشقانه شاهنامه است. این دو که پر کش و قوس‌ترین ماجرای عاشقانه در حماسه‌ی ملی ایران را برای آفرینش جهان پهلوان شاهنامه به سرانجام می‌رسانند بطور منطقی می‌بایستی دارای پیش نمونه‌هایی در اساطیر کهن ایران باشند. زال یا  زال زر، که بتحقیق می‌توان او را پدر حماسه نامید، آنچنانکه از نامش پیداست ارتباط تنگاتنگی با ایزد کهن ایرانی یعنی زروان که   تجلی پیری و قوت مردانگی و درخشندگی و کمال است، دارد. در این جستار کوتاه برآنیم که با بررسی این منظومه و دلنشین ترین یشت اوستا، یعنی آبان یشت که در ستایش ایزدبانوی آب ها اردویسور آناهیتا سروده شده، و بنا بر شواهدی که ارائه خواهد شد، نشان دهیم که این ایزدبانو می تواند پیشینه ی اساطیری رودابه و همتای حماسی زال باشد.

    Notes Towards Gritty Fantasy Medievalism, Temporality, and Worldbuilding2022In: Fafnir: Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research, E-ISSN 2342-2009, Vol. 9, no 2, p. 69-81Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article discusses gritty fantasy, a fantasy subgenre, which was established in the early 2000s and has since gained a lot of traction. In previous research, gritty fantasy has often been understood as a deconstructive form of fantasy that draws on the barbaric Middle Ages and subverts fantasy tropes as a reaction against earlier forms of popular fantasy. I examine, rather, the genre’s relation to the medieval and its depictions of power. Drawing on queer temporality and theories on fantasy literature and worldbuilding (Mendlsohn; Roine), I approach gritty fantasy first and foremost as a form of fantasy literature, placing it within the context of speculative fiction and asking what it does as a fantastic literature.

    The Ergodic revisited: spatiality as a governing principle of digital literature2015Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This dissertation examines the role of the spatial in four works of digital interactive literature. These works are Dreamaphage by Jason Nelson (2003), Last Meal Requested by Sachiko Hayashi (2003), Façade by Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern (2005) and Egypt: The Book of Going Forth by Day by M. D. Coverley (2006). The study employs an original analytical method based on close reading and spatial analysis, which combines narrative, design and interaction theories. The resulting critique argues that the spatial components of the digital works define reader interaction and the narratives that result from it. This is one of very few in-depth studies grounded in the close reading of the spatial in digital interactive literature.

    Over five chapters, the dissertation analyzes the four digital works according to three common areas. Firstly, the prefaces, design and addressivity are present in each. Secondly, each of the works relies on the spatial for both interaction and the meanings that result. Thirdly, the anticipation of responses from a reader is evaluated within the interactive properties of each work. This anticipation is coordinated across the written text, moving and still images, representations of places, characters, audio and navigable spaces. The similar divisions of form, the role of the spatial and the anticipation of responses provide the basic structure for analysis. As a result, the analytical chapters open with an investigation of the prefaces, move on to the design and conclude with how the spaces of the digital works can be addressive or anticipate responses. In each chapter representations of space and representational space are described in relation to the influence they have upon the potentials for reader interaction as spatial practice. This interaction includes interpretation, as well as those elements associated with the ergodic, or the effort that defines the reception of the digital interactive texts.

    The opening chapter sets out the relevant theory related to space, interaction and narrative in digital literature. Chapter two presents the methodology for close reading the spatial components of the digital texts in relation to their role in interaction and narrative development. Chapter three assesses the prefaces as paratextual thresholds to the digital works and how they set up the spaces for reader engagement. The next chapter takes up the design of the digital works and its part in the formation of space and how this controls interaction. The fifth chapter looks at the addressivity of the spatial and how it contributes to the possibilities for interaction and narrative. The dissertation argues for the dominance of the spatial as a factor within the formation of narrative through interaction in digital literature, with implications across contemporary storytelling and narrative theory.

    Flanörens känsliga universum: En analys av Sigfrid Siwertz’ En flanör2012Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna uppsats analyserar det litterära temat känslighet i Sigfrid Siwertz’ roman En flanör. Begreppet känslighet definieras i relation till perceptioner och känslor och därefter belyses känslighetens uttrycksformer tematiskt i en närläsning av romanen. Analysen relaterar vidare till andra valda litterära gestaltningar, som kan sättas i sammanhang med verket. Speciellt fokus läggs vid att kontextualisera känsligheten med hjälp av litterära såväl som filosofiska jämförelsepunkter. Uppsatsen argumenterar för att känsligheten fungerar som en central narrativ drivkraft och samtidigt som en funktion som upplöser det ”flanörideal” som inledningsvis gestaltas hos huvudpersonen Torsten Gjörloff. Detta mynnar ut i ett intressant motiv där ”hyperkänslighet” måste överfinnas för att det ska vara möjligt att relatera till och sympatisera med andra människor. För att belysa detta tema på djupet lånar denna uppsats in begrepp från Henri Bergson vars filosofi influerade Siwertz, och genom denna explikation blir känsligheten och överskridandet av den möjlig att begripa på ett nytt sätt. Uppsatsen avslutas med en reflektion över hur känsligheten kan relateras till vår samtid.

    För- och nackdelar med tecknade serier i skolundervisningen och lärares syn på dessa -En litteraturgenomgång och empirisk studie2021Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen analyserar dels svensk forskningslitteratur där det utvalda materialet i litteraturgenomgången består av nio olika forskare och författare, dels kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra verksamma lärare i Östra Mellansverige. Den utvalda litteraturen består av fyra fysiska böcker, tre examensarbeten, en digital textbok och en artikel. Studiens syfte är att framhäva vilka för- och nackdelar det finns med att använda tecknade serier i undervisningen, samt att ge en klarare bild av vilken syn verksamma lärare har på dessa. Uppsatsen utgår från en litteraturgenomgång som fokuserar på att framhäva för- och nackdelar med tecknade serier i undervisningen, samt en empirisk studie i form av kvalitativa semistrukturerade lärarintervjuer som fokuserar på att ge en klarare bild av lärares syn, attityd och inställning till tecknade serier. Litteraturgenomgången grundar sig på en textanalys med kvalitativa inslag där vi tolkar innehållet i den utvalda forskningslitteraturen och på så sätt framhäver en slutsats som baseras på våra egna tolkningar. Slutsatserna visar att det förekommer betydligt fler fördelar än nackdelar med att använda tecknade serier i undervisningen och att de dessutom kan användas inom olika skolämnen och åldersgrupper. Slutsatserna visar även att lärare kan behandla framskrivningar i läroplanen på ett lustfyllt sätt genom att använda tecknade serier, trots att tecknade serier inte uttryckligen står med eller nämns i läroplanen. Studiens slutsatser visar dessutom att de intervjuade lärarna har en positiv syn på tecknade serier och att tecknade serier kan främja elevernas läsmotivation och läsutveckling, men att det dock riktar sig mer specifikt mot de lässvaga eleverna. Tecknade serier kan dessutom användas på olika sätt, både genom att eleverna får vara egna serieskapare och genom att läsa serier. Avslutningsvis visar slutsatserna att möjliga orsaker till att tecknade serier inte får så stort utrymme i skolvärlden är för att det inte står något i läroplanen och att lärare är styrda av läromedelsförfattarna.

    Genus och jämställdhet i svenskämnets läroböcker för årskurs 4–6 –En läromedelsanalys2020Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen analyserar Pernilla Lundenmark och Anna Modighs lärobok Zick Zack Åk 6 Läsrummet (2013), samt Kalle Güettler, Lennart Husén och Hans Thorbjörnssons lärobok Språket lever!: svenska. 5 Grundbok (1997). Dessa läroböcker är främst avsedda för elever i årskurs 5–6 i svenskämnet. Studiens syfte är att framhäva en tydligare bild av hur genus och jämställdhet framställs i läroböckerna Språket lever!: svenska. 5 Grundbok och Zick Zack Läsrummet. Uppsatsen utgår från en läromedelsanalys och fokuserar på hur fördelningen ser ut mellan män/pojkar och kvinnor/flickor, samt hur de biologiska könen framställs och representeras i läroböckerna. Läromedelsanalysen grundas i en textanalys med kvantitativa och kvalitativa inslag. Studiens slutsatser visar överlag att Lundenmark och Modighs lärobok Zick Zack Åk 6 Läsrummet (2013) förhåller sig någorlunda till genus och jämställdhet vad gäller fördelningen, framställningen och representationen av män/pojkar respektive kvinnor/flickor. Slutsatserna visar även att läroboken innehåller inslag av stereotypa och normativa föreställningar om män/pojkar och kvinnor/flickor som framhäver en manlig norm. Studiens slutsatser visar överlag att Güettler, Hansén och Thorbjörnssons lärobok Språket lever!: svenska. 5 Grundbok till mestadels genomsyras av en manlig norm som framhäver manlig överordnad, samt stereotypa föreställningar om pojkar och flickor. Slutsatserna visar även att läroboken inte visar någon eftertänksamhet vad gäller genus och jämställdhet, utan förhåller sig mestadels till traditionella normer och synsätt vad gäller män/pojkar och kvinnor/flickor.

    Des pieds de la croix à l’art total: Etude des représentations de l’Eglise et de l’art sacré à travers l’ekphrasis huysmansienne2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The term "ekphrasis" is indisputably problematic. In fact, depending on which definition one might use ekphrastic processes can either be broad, that is extended to any type of description as it was taught in rhetoric treaties during antiquity, or according to its modern definition circumcised to literary representations of works of art. Since ekphraseis are a key feature of Huysmans's work, this study strives to explore their scope through describing the sacred art in the so-called "catholic novels" Huysmans wrote after his religious conversion and the Church's representation that stems from them. This study focuses on two forms of religious art: the plainchant and the architecture. Based on a broad theoretical frame ranging from ekphrasis and hypotyposis figures of speech to intermediality, the study shows that the medieval Church is considered as quintessentially a pluri-medial entity or as Wolf puts it, a "syncretistic medium". Thus, it seems possible to establish a connection between this image of an ideal Church and the notion of Gesamtkunstwerk. Last but not least, this depiction which arises from Huysmans's work sheds light on a broader societal phenomenon that occurred in the transitional period which was the late 19th century, namely a strong interest in medievalism.

    Stereotypical Gender Roles and their Patriarchal Effects in A Streetcar Named Desire2012Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Stereotypical gender roles have probably existed as long as human culture and are such a natural part if our lives that we barely take notice of them. Nevertheless, images of what we perceive as typically masculine and feminine in appearance and behavior depend on the individual’s perception. Within each gender one can find different stereotypes. A commonly assumed idea is that men are hard tough, while women are soft and vulnerable.

    I find it interesting hoe stereotypes function and how they are preserved almost without our awareness. Once I started reading and researching the topic of stereotypes it became clear to me that literature contains many stereotypes.

    The intension of this essay is to critically examine the stereotypical gender roles in the play A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams in 1947. It is remarkable how the author portrays the three main characters: Stanley, Stella and Blanche. The sharp contracts and the dynamics between them are fascinating.

    Grotesque themes as Representatives of Reality: Comedy and Horror in the Literature of Waciny Laredj2023In: Orientalia Suecana, ISSN 0078-6578, E-ISSN 2001-7324, Vol. 72, p. 29-46Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines the themes and distinctive features of the grotesque as manifested in the literary works of Algerian author Waciny Laredj (Wasīnī al-Aʿraj), who depicts the Algerian reality through an experimental form of novelistic writing. Laredj makes use of the features of the grotesque—sarcasm, irony, amplification, exaggeration and the nightmarish—as a way of silhouetting Algeria’s situation and highlighting the struggle against both Islamic and state terrorism. Major similarities are noted between the style of the grotesque and elements central to novelistic narrative, such as polyphony and parallel plots. The grotesque reveals itself linguistically and stylistically in Laredj’s novels through their plots, the fantastical atmosphere that prevails throughout, and the use of analepsis, foreshadowing, omission, close-up shots and exaggeration. Specific examples of these phenomena are found in his Ḍamīr al-Ghā’ib (Third Person Pronoun) (1990) and Ḥārisat al-Ẓilāl (Guardian of the Shadows) (1997), in which human beings take on other forms by means of bizarre devices, and in which state terrorism mingles with Islamic terrorism in an atmosphere of comedic horror.

    In Pursuit of “Never Again”: A Philological Study of the Functional Possibilities of the Memoir in Post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina2018Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This essay is based on a critical revision of the Scholars’ Initiative, a ten-year research project conducted by Charles Ingrao whose goal was to confront the controversies in former Yugoslav societies by creating a common, non-custom-made narrative of Balkan history. More specifically, this essay focuses on the revision of the scope, and methodology of the project. The former is limited to Bosnia and Herzegovina, whereas the latter includes the predominant use, and study of memoirs in the making of a common, transethnic narrative of the genocide. The goal with this revision is to highlight Ingrao’s partake in a century long tradition of suppressing Bosniak prosperity in Balkan societies, which has resulted in a scarcity of Bosniak literature. Ultimately, this essay focuses on the witness literature, which was produced in the aftermath of the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992-1995. More specifically, this essay uses Kemal Kurspahić’s As Long As Sarajevo Exists (1997), Wounded I Am More Awake (2012) by Esad Boškailo, and The Bosnia List: A Memoir of War, Exile, and Return (2014) by Kenan Trebinčević as springboards in arguing for the functional possibilities of the memoir genre in the creating of a common, transethnic narrative in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. To claim for the historiographical validity of the memoir, the impossibility of the singular narrative, and the poetic of responsibility, this essay makes use of Jacques Derrida’s Sovereignties in Question: The Poetics of Paul Celan. This essay also makes use of Gregory H. Stanton’s Ten Stages of Genocide as a way to demonstrate a model by which the common, transethnic narrative can be studied, and further explored. The ultimate goal with the critical study of Stanton’s stages is to qualify the memoir genre as an official genre of genocide research in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    Kreativitet: vad är det? En studie kring begreppet kreativitet inom skolslöjden2013Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Begreppet kreativitet omnämns vid flertalet tillfällen i läroplanen för grundskolan, föreskoleklassen och fritidshemmet (Lgr 11). Det redogörs dock inte för någon definition av begreppet. Denna studie syftar till att lyfta begreppet kreativitet och försöka finna definitioner av begreppet, dels ur ett generellt perspektiv och dels ur ett slöjdspecifikt perspektiv. Dessutom beskrivs hur man kan arbeta med kreativitet i skolslöjden.

    Studien utgörs av en begreppsanalys där forskningslitteratur inom psykologi, pedagogik och slöjd studerats för att finna definitioner av begreppet kreativitet.

    Resultatet visar att det inte finns någon entydig definition av begreppet kreativitet, varken inom psykologin eller inom slöjdforskningen. Det resultat som framkom var att kreativitet är kontextbundet och behöver definieras utifrån det sammanhang där det uppkommer. Kreativitet innebär, bland annat, att redan förvärvda kunskaper och erfarenheter kombineras för att skapa något nytt. Det beskrivs hur en person inte kan skapa vare sig i eller med vakuum. För att en idé skall komma att klassas som kreativ redogör vissa forskare för hur idén behöver vara användbar och ny för en grupp människor. Andra forskare redogör för kreativitet ur ett individuellt perspektiv där idén enbart behöver uppfattas som kreativ av en enskild individ. För att gynna kreativiteten i skolslöjden krävs det att klassrumsklimatet är öppet för risktagande, analyserande, prövande, omprövande av idéer, samt diskussion kring den enskilde elevens skapande.

    "This Ghastly Age": The Tragic Fall In Waugh's Brideshead Revisited As A Response To Modernity2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    I have examined Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited by reading it as a tragedy and looking at the motif of the tragic fall of the Marchmain family as a response to the challenges of modernity. Most academic works on Brideshead Revisited are religious readings that focus on the role of Catholicism in the narrative. I argue that the novel portrays modernity and as such, calls for the necessity of being able to change with the times. Approaching the narrative as a tragedy highlights this interpretation and allows for an exploration of the characters’ attitudes to modernity through their tragic fall.

    I have investigated the role and implications of tragedy in modern secular times and applied it to Brideshead Revisited, focusing on the Aristotelian theory of tragedy and employing Schopenhauer’s and Nietzsche’s understanding of tragic action to explain the effect of the tragic fall on the spectator or reader. The Marchmains can be seen as Aristotelian tragic heroes that experience a fall due to their mistaken views that are founded on tradition and thus distance them from the modern world. The fall of the Marchmains and the looming disintegration of their social stratum are indicative of broader social change in interwar. For Charles Ryder, the narrator of Brideshead Revisited, the Marchmains’ tragic fall serves as a tool that allows him to see life from a different perspective and reconcile nostalgia and modernity. Brideshead Revisited is therefore not only a Catholic novel, but also a detailed image of interwar England, the shifts in its social structure, and the importance of accepting change.

    El mito de la Quintrala: Estructuras simbólicas en dos novelas de Gustavo Frías2017Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this comparative study is to analyse La Quintrala’s myth as a symbolic discourse, thereby filling a gap in the previous studies about La Quintrala.

    The theoretical and methodological framework of this analysis consists of a hermeneutical approach based on the method of figurative structuralism: mythocriticism. This is a dual classification method of symbols: Diurnal and Nocturnal Orders that expose the symbolic structures formed by symbols and archetypes found in mythemes in a compilation of corpora. The first one is Gustavo Frías’ novels Tres Nombres para Catalina: Catrala (2008) and Tres nombres para Catalina: la doña de Campofrío (2008); the second is a historic essay (hypotext), Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna’s Los Lisperguer y la Quintrala (1944), and four novels: Magdalena Petit’s (2009) La Quintrala, Mercedes Valdivieso’s (1991) Maldita yo entre las Mujeres, Virginia Vidal’s (2002) Oro, veneno y puñal, and Gustavo Frías’ El Inquisidor (2008).

    Mythocriticism is employed in the analysis to show what the mythical structure of the hero’s journey (Separation, Initiation, Return) reveal. Such journey is combined structurally with the Mother archetype (White, Red and Black Goddess), the intrinsic archetype of La Quintrala’s myth. The heroic structure unveils its own mythemes, La Quintrala’s and the first corpus’s mytheme through the diachronic and synchronic flow of the hero’s journey. This method permits to identify and compare the progression of the symbolic structures.

    The analysis demonstrates a transformation of the symbolic structures between both corpora. This survey reveals that Vicuña Mackenna and Petit, and partially Vidal and El Inquisidor, exhibit an inclination to the diurnal symbols that strengthen, through a heterodiegetic narrator, the representations of the witch-femme fatale, counteractive attributes of the Red and Black Goddesses in the myth. Valdivieso, on the other hand, shows a propensity to the nocturnal symbols of inversion and intimacy that emphasize the Red Goddess’ features, though the novel also exposes La Quintrala as a witch-femme fatale. This exposure occurs through the use of both an autodiegetic narrator –La Quintrala– and a heterodiegetic one –the hypotext embodied in the popular voice– that appear to contrast each other. Finally, in Tres Nombres para Catalina, La Quintrala as the autodiegetic narrator dominates the whole story. She personifies the Great Goddess archetype who bestows her new positive attributes during the adventure. This novel assumes primordially the nocturnal symbolism incarnated by both the mystical and the synthetical structures and relegates the diurnal discourse of the hypotext to a secondary position in the narrative. Nonetheless, Tres Nombres para Catalina’s narrative still relies on the hypotext to reproduce and reconstruct all the mythemes in the myth of La Quintrala.

    Conclusively, the results of this analysis indicate that the identification of all the mythemes supports the hypothesis of a transformation in the symbolic structures which characterize La Quintrala in both corpora. This reveals the embodiment of Tres Nombres para Catalina’s own mytheme, consisting of a vindication and a recognition to her indigenous heritage, and the acceptance of her mestizaje. As a consequence, Tres nombres para Catalina, in comparison to the second corpus, diverges and expands the symbolic structures, but still shows a continuity of the myth.

    Pachakuti, an indigenous perspective on collapse and extinction2023In: Ecozona, ISSN 2171-9594, E-ISSN 2171-9594, Vol. 14, no 2, p. 20-35Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This work aims to examine pachakuti as the patent mytheme found in three poems written by different indigenous poets: “Todo está dicho” (“Everything has been said”) by Fredy Chakangana, “La Tórtola, pájaro melancólico” (“The turtledove, Melancholic bird”) by Lorenzo Ayllapán, and “Vivir-Morir” (“To live-to die”) by Vito Apüshana. Pachakuti is a key concept in Andean literature, both in mythological and cosmological tales, and in contemporary indigenous narrative. Pachakuti is interpreted to symbolize a re-balancing of the world through a chaotic chain of events that manifests itself as a catastrophe or an upheaval of the order of things. As pachakuti becomes a recurrent motif (patent mytheme) in the chosen poems, it is explored to show a different narrative perspective of collapse and extinction, as well as to expose how earth-beings (latent mytheme) acquire their own agency in the poems and denounce modern forms of extractivism (such as deforestation and water contamination). Through the earth-beings’ voices the poems contribute to reveal new perspectives about collapse and extinction anchored in indigenous narratives from the Global South.

    Unsubstantial Territories: Nomadic Subjectivity as Criticism of Psychoanalysis in Virginia Woolf's The Waves2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This essay looks at subjectivity in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves employing a psychoanalytic approach and using the theories of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Woolf’s relation to the theories of her contemporary Sigmund Freud was unclear. Psychoanalytic scholarship on Woolf’s writings, nevertheless, established itself in 1980’s as a dominant scholarly topic and has been growing since. However, the rigidity and medicalizing discourse of psychoanalysis make it poorly compatible with Woolf’s feminist, anti-individualist writing. This essay is a reading of The Waves, in which psychoanalytic theory is infused with a Deleuzo-Guattarian approach. The theories of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, and especially his concept of the Other, together with Rosi Braidotti’s concept of nomadic subjectivity, are used as relevant tools for thinking about subjectivity in the context of The Waves. The resultant reading is a criticism of psychoanalysis. In this reading, two characters are looked at in detail: Percival and Bernard. Percival emerges as the Lacanian Other, who, situated at the central nexus of power, symbolises the tyrannies of individuality and masculinity. Simultaneously, Percival is detached from the metaphysical world of the novel. His death marks a shift from oppressive individuality towards nomadic subjectivity. For Bernard, nomadic subjectivity is a flight from the dead and stagnating centre towards periphery, where new ethics can be negotiated. The essay concludes with the implications of such reading: the affirmation of nomadic subjectivity makes the Deleuzo-Guattarian approach more relevant in the context of Woolf, whereas psychoanalytic striving towards structure, dualism, and focus on pathology are rejected as incompatible with her texts.

    A Philosophical-Anthropological Case for Cassirer in Rhetoric2017In: Rhetorica - A Journal of the History of Rhetoric, ISSN 0734-8584, E-ISSN 1533-8541, Vol. 35, no 3, p. 346-365Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article We argue that Ernst Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms is an indispensible philosophical-anthropological companion to rhetoric. We propose that appropriating Cassirer's understanding of symbolic forms enables rhetoric to go beyond the dominant perspective of language oriented theory and fully commit to a widened -Understanding of rhetoric as the study of how social meaning is created, performed and transformed. To clearly bring out the thrust of our enlarged rhetorical-philosophical anthropological approach we have structured our argument partly as a contrastive critique of Thomas A. Discenna's recent (Rhetorica 32/3; 2014) attempt to include Cassirer in the rhetorical tradition through a reading of the 1929 debate in Davos between Cassirer and Martin Heidegger; partly through a presentation of the aspects of Cassirer's thought that we find most important for developing a rhetorical-philosophical-anthropology of social meaning.

    The Haunting of Hill House: The Heterosexual Horror of the Home2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The female gothic as a genre, with its emergence in the 19th century, has a history of critiquing women’s place in the domestic sphere by showcasing the horrors of the home. When The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson was first published in 1959, it did so with both this historical genre background, as well as with a resurgence of traditional gender roles as an ideal. With the help of this context, this paper will do a queer reading of Jackson’s novel, highlighting the main character Eleanor’s queer longing for her friend Theodora. It will furthermore take into consideration Eleanor’s gender and the restrictions put on it during the time, especially concerning heteronormativity. To closer examine the relation between Eleanor and her desires, Hill House as a force will be analyzed. Although previous scholars have differing conclusions regarding Hill House, the most common one is Hill House as a patriarchal presence. However, Eleanor is also shown to be merging with Hill House during the narrative. To be able to combine these readings, as well as a queer reading, Sandra Lee Bartky’s reworking of Michel Foucault’s theories of internalization and self-surveillance will be used. This results in a queer reading of the novel where Hill House reflects Eleanor’s patriarchal internalization and acts as a self-surveilling force, disciplining her queer desires and finally resulting in her suicide. Ultimately, this essay argues that the character of Eleanor in The Haunting of Hill House has internalized patriarchal oppression and acts out disciplinary acts onto her own gender and sexuality through Hill House itself, which results in an overall textual critique of heteronormative ideals.

    Barakāt, Salīm سليم بركات(1951 -)2016In: Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism / [ed] Stephen Ross, Routledge, 2016Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Salīm Barakāt is one of the most prolific modern Arab writers. He published his first poetry collection in 1973 and has since produced several more in addition to novels, essays, and autobiographical works. Despite living outside the Arab world since 1982, Barakāt’s literary output is closely connected to his Kurdish roots, and the culture and traditions of his birthplace in northern Syria. Barakāt’s inventive language, original narrative style and fantastical plots have placed him in the forefront of Arab literary modernism. His unconventional technique and mixture of styles and genres have at times made critics unable to describe his work in common literary terms, which in turn has given him the reputation of a renovator of the Arabic novel.

    Creating a Man, a Mouse or a Monster? : Masculinityas Formulated by Syrian Female Novelists through the Second Half of the 20thCentury.2017Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This literary study examines the formulation of masculinity in Syrian novels authored by women. The thesis covers the period between 1959 and 2000, corresponding to both the development of the female-authored novel in Syria and the creation of the modern Syrian state. This research engages with studies of masculinity in general and literary masculinity studies in particular. Drawing on the seminal work of Raewyn Connell as well as engaging with studies on masculinity and feminine narratology in Swedish, English and Arabic, the thesis analyses the formulation of  literary masculinity through the fictional societies’ ideal masculinity on the one hand, and the female characters’ views and reactions to masculinity on the other. From a general survey of the field, 34 novels undertaking the formulation of gendered relations were identified and chosen for this study.  From this selection, five themes emerged, forming the foundation of this thesis’ main chapters.

    The five themes explore, in turn, how stereotypes are utilised to critique gender roles, ways in which male and female characters collaborate to formulate gender norms, how female characters capitalise on patriarchy in order to enhance their lives, male characters as symbols for social and political change and finally, the difficulties included in the performance of masculinity. Each theme is exemplified through one novel, which is analysed in detail. Throughout the five chapters, the main novel chosen for analysis is put into conversation with other novels with similar themes but from different decades. This allows for an examination of changing ideals of masculinity in addition to the theme itself.

    The first theme, how stereotypes are utilised to critique gender roles, is studied through a close reading of al-Ẓahr al-‘ārī (The Naked back) by Hanrīyit ‘Abbūdī. The analysis illustrates how the expected normative behaviour of men and women is utilised in order to comment on the formulation of gender roles. The chapter further demonstrates ways in which what is seen as gender specific behaviour can be appropriated by the opposite gender. This is further developed through the examination of female writers taking over the male voice through a first person male narrator. The second theme, ways in which male and female characters collaborate to formulate gender norms, is discussed through a close reading of the novel Khaṭawāt fī al-ḍabāb (Steps in the fog) by Malāḥa al-Khānī. This chapter illustrates the similar expectations that both male and female characters have on their sons and fellow male characters.  This includes taking on the role of provider and protector, even in the cases where the female characters are able to look after themselves.

    The third theme, how female characters capitalise on patriarchy in order to enhance their lives, is elaborated through a close reading of Ayyām ma‘ahu (Days with him) by Kūlīt Khūrī. This theme demonstrates how the female character constructs herself and her world around the idea of a perfect male, whom she thinks will save her. The analysis examines what is seen as ideal traits in a man. It further discusses the change of the female character and how her initial utilisation of patriarchal structure transforms into a critique of the same structure.

    The fourth theme, male characters as symbols for social and political change, is seen through a close reading of Dimashq yā basmat al-ḥuzn (Damascus, o smile of sadness) by Ulfat al-Idlibī. The chapter connects between changing social ideals and ideal masculinity. Through Bayrūt 75 (Beirut 75) by Ghāda al-Sammān, the fifth theme, the difficulties included in the performance of masculinity, is studied. The problematic masculinity presented is then put in contrast with what appears to be a suggestion that a performance of femininity could be an alternative to unsuccessful masculinity.

    Whereas the novels differ in their presentation of masculinity and the utilisation of ideal masculinity, they agree on a set of core traits summarised in a hegemonic ideal of masculinity as an ability to provide and protect. The ways in which this should be performed is however closely connected to the female characters’ ideas of emancipation and women’s rights. The female writers’ formulation of masculinity can hence be said to mirror the development of the female characters and their awareness of women’s rights.  

    The thesis hopes that its original contribution to knowledge is the identification and examination of constructed masculinities in Syrian female-authored fiction. Moreover, this thesis studies a body of Syrian fiction previously largely unstudied in Western academia, and in a framework of Swedish, English and Arabic secondary sources.

    Ikhlāṣī, Walīd (1935-)2016In: Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism / [ed] Stephen Ross, Routledge, 2016Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Walīd Ikhlāṣī has become known as one of Syria’s most productive dramatists and novelists. Since his first short story collection in 1963 he has produced over 50 pieces of work including novels, plays and short story collections. A well-known modernist and surrealist writer, he has introduced his own distinctive style in his writing for the theatre and in his fiction. He has also been involved in work with the Arab Writer’s Union and in the editorial committees of several Syrian literary magazines, and influenced the cultural scene in Syria and the Arab world. Among Ikhlāṣī’s many plays al-irā (The Path) is often brought out as an example of his seemingly action-less plays which on closer examination are filled with sharp criticism of the social and political Syrian landscape. His short story collection, ma adatha li-‘Antara? (What Happened to Antara?), shows his engagement with Arabic cultural heritage and the use of historical references in his work.

    Masculinity and Syrian Fiction: Gender, Society and the Female Gaze2021Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    What can novels tell us about masculinity in Syria? In this book, Lovisa Berg explores over 20 Syrian novels covering the last 50 years of the 20th century. Uniquely, she examines only female writers in order to gauge the changing ways in which Syrian women perceived the function of masculinity, and the impact certain attitudes towards masculinity have on men, women, children and Syrian society, from a female perspective. The works of writers from Kulit Khuri to Usayma Darwish are analysed to explore changing attitudes to gender in Syria and the Middle East, as well as the political upheavals within the country and region. We see the idealistically portrayed men in the novels of female authors in the 1950s give way in time to a more critical depictions of patriarchy. Above all, we see through the use of novels a plethora of critiques of masculine hegemony in Syrian society, the authors of which are able with the use of fiction to reorganise and question maleness in a way denied to them in reality. This book will be of interest to scholars of Contemporary Syrian and Arabic Literature, Masculinity Studies and Women's Studies.

    Reading Matters: An Exploration of ELT textbooks in Sweden and their approach to reading2016Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The present thesis investigates to what extent contemporary ELT textbooks include reading materials as well as what types of texts are being used and what reading strategies they seemingly promote. Additionally, the study analyzes whether there is a noticeable discrepancy in teaching materials designed for the vocational and university preparatory and considers whether the design of the current textbook is representative of the current view of reading as a teaching tool as reflected in official policy documents. Through the means of a content analysis of a total of six in use ELT textbooks, the study discovers that few ELT textbooks include a satisfactory amount of reading materials and that there is a significant discrepancy between teaching materials intended for the separate orientations of upper secondary school in Sweden. It is also discovered that the set of textbooks largely reflect the current view of language teaching. The study concludes that the current practice of language teaching is ill-suited to counter the development of declining reading literacy and suggests an alternative methodology in extensive reading.

    Abstract [en]

    The Swedish society is becoming more and more multicultural. This means that the classrooms today consist of students from various backgrounds and cultures. According to the Swedish curriculum for primary school, it should be a social and cultural meeting place for children from various backgrounds and cultures, so that they can learn to live together in harmony through their education. Many researchers around the world come to the conclusion that children’s literature can be used to teach topics such as culture and cultural awareness and to create intercultural learning. Despite this agreement, however, children’s literature is not frequently used in the English classroom in grades 4-6 in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to examine how English children’s literature can be used in grades 4-6 to teach the ethical values reflected in the Swedish curriculum, especially those that concern integration. I will look at selection criteria for children’s literature with the purpose to teach some of the ethical values from the Swedish curriculum in the second-language classroom. Two primary sources serve as examples: Anthony Browne, Voices in the park, and Patricia Polacco, Chicken Sunday. Through a final discussion of methods, such as Aidan Chambers’ book talk, I show how these books may indeed be used to integrate teaching of the fundamental values with English as a school subject.

    A Grotesque and Gothic Corporeality: Queer Transgression in Closer and Frisk2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis investigates how two novels by Dennis Cooper, Closer and Frisk, conceive of queer sexuality as transgressing heteronormative notions of moral standards, and how they challenge these by elevating their subject matters to an excessive degree. Drawing on the concepts of the grotesque and the Gothic, this thesis explores the aesthetics of Closer and Frisk, focusing in particular on the way corporeality figures as a central aspect of how these texts explore the ways in which the body becomes a site for Cooper’s discourses of transgression. Furthermore, drawing on Lee Edelman’s notion of the queer subject as inherently opposed to the value of every social form and structure, it is argued that the adverse representations of Cooper’s subjects work to add to this oppositionality. Thus, this thesis investigates how the queer expressions of desire in the texts are inextricable from the aberrant imagery of the body; the body as Gothically grotesque in the novels provides ways to configure alternative ways of conceptualizing the queer body and investigate its ties to transgression.

    Svenskans grammatiska komplexitet sett ur ett andraspråksperspektiv –en intervjustudie med ämneslärare i SVA om deras upplevelser av andraspråkselevers grammatiska utveckling2020Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna uppsats är en fenomenografisk intervjustudie där tre verksamma ämneslärare i SVA på gymnasienivå intervjuas gällande deras grammatikundervisning. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur SVA-lärare arbetar med andraspråkselevers grammatiska utveckling. Resultaten visar att majoriteten av lärarna prioriterar satsdelar över ordklasser i sin undervisning för att enklare kunna lära ut ordföljd. Samtliga lärare är överens om att svenskans ordföljdsvariation är svår för andraspråkselever, i kombination med genus, bestämdhet och kongruens. Majoriteten av lärarna anammar performansanalys i sin bedömning och återkoppling av andraspråkselevernas grammatiska förmågor. En lärare visar dock att felanalytisk återkoppling uppskattas av eleverna. Kamratrespons ses som en användbar återkopplingsvariant, då andraspråkselever lättare upptäcker grammatiska fel i andras texter, vilket gör att de kan stötta varandra i deras grammatiska utveckling.

    Abstract [en]

    This article deals with the successful Swedishcrime writers and the gendered aspects of how they are marketed towards thereaders in the 2000s. The purpose is to show how Swedish publishers follow distinctgender patterns in their marketing of crime fiction, and to discuss how thisaffects the responses to male and female crime novelists in cultural and mediallandscapes. The empirical material consists of 153 Swedish crime novels,published in paperback between 1998 and 2011. Theoretically, the article connectsto the field of book history insofar as the printed book itself is seen asimportant when it comes to how literary works are perceived by their readers.The results show that male and female authors of crime fiction in general havebeen marketed recognizably different in almost all possible ways. In the books’extra materials and other author-centred peritexts, female authors areassociated with the private and the family related. Male authors, on the otherhand, are most often described as proficient, well writing and engaged insocial criticism. Furthermore, the book covers are clearly gendered: covers bymale authors are darker, more serious and more traditional to the crime genre;covers by female authors are brighter, more “fun” and reminiscent of chick litrather than of traditional crime fiction. The main conclusion is that thegender gap shown in these paperbacks support and maintain the stereotype thatmale and female authors write different types of crime fiction, with maleauthors being valued the most. The paratextual division of male and femalecrime writers, thus, upholds the established and gendered hierarchy in thegenre.
