(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Denne masteroppgåva er ei etisk perspektivert tolking av Lars Norén sitt drama Skuggpojkarna (1999).

Metoden eg har nytta, er nærlesing. Gjennom døme frå dramaet, vil eg utforske kva grep Norén nyttar for å gje ‘skuggpojkarna’ ... -
Via negativa. Del I: En lesning av Vladimir Makanins "Stol, pokrytyj suknom i s grafinom poseredine". Del II: J. S. Bachs "Goldbergvariasjoner" og "Stol, pokrytyj"
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-12-08)I denne oppgaven er det lagt vekt på å fremstille to hypoteser. For det første at Stol, pokrytyj er fundamentert i en negasjonspoetikk. Dette er i tillegg et forsøk på å bidra til en systematisering av Makanins poetikk; det gir en fremgangsmåte for lesning som kan prøves i forhold til andre fortellinger av Makanin. Negasjonsaspektet kan være med på å forklare de sprikende lesningene som blir gitt ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-13)Paganism flourished during the end of the Romantic period and the younger Romantics were considered to have been influenced by this.
