The new England code : controlling female agency in contemporary American tv drama
2008
Masteroppgave i engelsk - Universitetet i Agder 2008 In an attempt to contextualize the DC observations, the overarching super-genre of melo-drama has been given particular attention. The relevance of melodrama is evident as the main ‘corpus’ of the survey, Cold Case, embodies a range of melodramatic traits. Furthermore, as will be seen in Chapters 1 and 3 particularly, melodramatic and Puritan value sets tend to overlap, especially in the attitude towards family. All chapters include analyses of individual Cold Case episodes, and each analysis comes with a description of scenes within the episode written in a slightly more subjective language. This has been done in order to provide the rea…

Markens døde : forbrytelse og straff i Hamsuns Markens grøde
2011
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Edda. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/edda/2011/02/art12 Artikkelen tar for seg Knut Hamsuns engasjement for å bekjempe barnedrap i Norge, et engasjement som kom tydeligst til uttrykk i den såkalte barnemorddebatten (1915-1916) og i romanen Markens Grøde (1917). I debattinnleggene retter Hamsun sterk kritikk mot både forbryterske mødre og milde dommere, og argumenterer for gjeninnføring av dødsstraff som kriminalpreventivt virkemiddel. I romanen videreføres kritikken, men her skildres barnemorderne Inger og Barbro på en mer nyansert måte. Begge reintegreres i det sosiale livet i marken. Romanen representer…

“The Road Not Taken”: poetry and personal insight in the EFL classroom and beyond
2016
Masteroppgave i engelsk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 This qualitative study examines how Norwegian tenth graders show personal insight through the reading of the poem “The Road Not Taken”. The research is based on the responses from two English classes in a lower secondary school in Kristiansand, and the empirical material includes 39 responses. The data are analysed using literary terms from reader-response theory. Values and expressions embedded in Norwegian curricula are also discussed in relation to the data. My findings reveal that the adolescents perceive the poem in a fairly coherent way, while at the same time many of the respondents have doubts regarding the accuracy of their own p…
