Gjøre det beste ut av det: Norsklæreres fagkonstruksjoner i grunnskole for voksne
2023
Artikkelen undersøker hvordan tre norsklærere fortolker eller konstruerer ulike versjoner av norskfaget innenfor en spesifikk undervisningskontekst, nærmere bestemt grunnskoletilbud for voksne innvandrere. De voksne elevene har forholdsvis nylig innvandret til Norge, noe som blant annet innebærer at de fortsatt er underveis i sin språkinnlæring. Læreplan og eksamensordninger er imidlertid de samme som for ordinær grunnskole, selv om nye læreplaner, mer tilpasset voksne andrespråkbrukere, planlegges implementert i løpet av 2024. Det empiriske datamaterialet artikkelen bygger på er først og fremst verbaldata fra forskningsintervjuer med de tre norsklærerne. Analysedelen innleder med en kontek…
Marlowe and company in Barnfield's Greene's Funeralls (1594)
2013
Public version of an article in the journal: Nordic Journal of English Studies (NJES). Also available from the publisher at: http://ojs.ub.gu.se/ojs/index.php/njes/article/view/2204 Open Access The accomplished and daring but minor poet Richard Barnfield (1574-1620) was among the first poets to engage creatively with the works of Greene, Marlowe, and Shakespeare. This article argues that Sonnet 9 in Barnfield’s Greene’s Funeralls (1594) reveals not only his admiration for these literary innovators, but also his difficult manoeuvres on the fringes of the group of poetic rivals. Barnfield’s often-quoted, but not fully understood “sonnet” reflects the young poet’s attempts to accost his more f…

Like Stripes on a Chokecherry Tree : Representations of Trauma and Consolidation of History in Neo-slave Narratives
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) Literature has long been utilised to provide commentary on social and political injustices, give voice to discriminated peoples, and provide context in relation to social and cultural history. The aim of this thesis was to analyse the representations of trauma and slavery in the novels Kindred by Octavia E. Butler and Beloved by Toni Morrison in order to determine to what extent these novels aid the consolidation of the trauma and history of slavery with contemporary understanding. This was achieved using the historical context of slavery alongside a traumatheoretical framework including, but not limited to, primary and secondary trauma, cultural trauma, p…

Conspiracy, Agential Angst and Resistance in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This study explores how powerful institutions influence the lives of individuals in the post-war American society as presented in two novels: Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. It focuses on the interpretation of the psychological angst of the characters, their realization of external influences and resistance for the sakes of freedom and individuality. To critically analyze the issue of agential anxiety, this study mainly draws upon Timothy Melley’s concept of conspiracy which he views as a manipulation of the populace without their knowledge. The larger institutions in the society strategically produce oppressive discourses and a…

The Transtextuality of Cline’s Ready Player One Comparative Analysis into the Effect of Transtextuality, and the Subsequent Emancipation of its Reade…
2020
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This analysis looks into the history behind the concept of transtextuality as articulated by Genette, and its implications to the notion of there being a correct way to read. Arguably, Barthes’ Death of the Author gave increased agency on behalf of the reader, but this came at the detriment of authorial intent. Transtextuality often contain significance, which has the potential to destroy any notion of fixed meaning in any given text. In light if this, the following analysis investigated the plural ways in which Cline’s novel can be said to contain meaning. This analysis does not attempt to be exhaustive, and merely aims at demonstrating the ramifications …
