    • "Dei beste dikt i verdi" : Olav H. Hauge og sonetten 

      Sture, Stefan Andreas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-11-01)
      Heile livet skreiv Olav H. Hauge sonettar, men berre 16 står på prent i Dikt i samling, som tilsaman inneheld drygt 400 dikt. Så det er ikkje i tal sonettane ruvar i forfattarskapen. Men overalt et Olav H. Hauge kjend som ein meister i sjangeren. Ein kan spørje seg korleis dette passer saman med at Olav H. Hauge er kjend som ein modernist som rørde seg bort frå dei tradisjonelle formane. Her skal ...

I will look into how children’s literature has ...

    • Demokrati, medborgerskap og ingenting. 

      Johansen, Marina (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-30)
      I denne masteroppgaven har jeg sett nærmere på hvordan Janne Tellers roman Intet kan skape refleksjon og debatt rundt de to tverrfaglige begrepene demokrati og medborgerskap i et klasserom ved å være et slags demokratisk vrengebilde. Jeg har brukt litterær analyse og nærlesing som metode, og modellert et undervisningsopplegg via begrepet dialogisk undervisning. For å få faglig tyngde i tolkningen ...

    • Den nye gamle komedien : Aristofanes og South Park : en komparativ analyse av det obskøne, det satiriske og det fantastiske 

      Fagertun, Thoralf (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-05-15)
      I overgangen mellom den gamle og den nye komedien i det antikke Hellas, forsvinner tre livlige virkemidler fra genren: Det obskøne, det satiriske og det fantastiske. Aristofanes’ komedier, som er de eneste bevarte verkene fra den gamle komedien, gjør utstrakt bruk av denne virkemiddeltrioen. Resultatet er en type komedie som preges av seksuelle og skatologiske ord og referanser, grov satirisering ...

    • «Det är ingen människa. Det är någonting annat.» Det fantastiske i Stefan Spjuts Stallo (2012) og Stalpi (2017) 

      Sæbø, Martin Skjelmo (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-16)
      Avhandlingen undersøker fantastiske elementer i Stallo (2012) og Stalpi (2017) i relasjon til en tematikk omkring avfortrylling og gjenfortrylling. Utgangspunkt hva gjelder dette er Tzvetan Todorovs definisjon av fantastisk litteratur, og Max Webers perspektiv på oppløsningen av et tidlig-moderne «magisk» verdensbilde. Dette er en prosess som Weber beskriver som en «avfortrylling av verden» ...

    • ”Det är ju fan att det litterära intresset ska sitta så löst!” En studie av Tove Janssons Rent spel 

      Hagen, Siw-Anita (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)
      I denne oppgava leser jeg Tove Janssons Rent spel opp mot baksideteksten til originalutgava av boka, hvor det står at: ”Rent spel kunde egentligen kallas en vänskapsroman”. Gjennom å se på hvordan kritikere og forskere har lest Rent spel, samt gjennom min egen lesning av boka, forsøker jeg å argumentere for hvorfor boka ikke er en roman, men en novellesyklus, og for hvorfor den ikke dreier seg om ...

    • «Det er det same kva det heiter». En analyse av Olaug Nilssens Tung tids tale (2017) 

      Pedersen, Trine Opdahl (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-02)
      I denne oppgaven har jeg analysert Olaug Nilssens Tung tids tale (2017), med utgangspunkt i hvordan møter med velferdsstaten for en pårørende kommer til uttrykk i litteratur.

Intensjonen er å vise noe av den ...

    • Det unaturlige i det fantastiske. Unaturlig narratologi i Astrid Lindgrens fantasy-roman Bröderna Lejonhjärta 

      Brunborg, Anne Marie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-14)
      Det har lenge vært vanlig å tolke Bröderna Lejonhjärta (1973) av Astrid Lindgren med utgangspunkt i den doble tiltalen. I denne oppgaven undersøker jeg hvorvidt det går an å lese romanen med utgangspunkt i en tredje tolkningsinngang. Denne tolkningsinngangen bygger på en hypotese om at Gud har drømt fram Nangijala. I arbeidet med å undersøke denne hypotesen har jeg benyttet meg av unaturlig narratologi ...
