I denna uppsats undersöks hur J.K. Rowling gestaltar identitetsskapandet av Harry Potter i Harry Potter-serien som består av sju böcker. Sedan presenteras möjligheterna i litteratursamtal med utgångspunkt i skönlitteraturen Harry Potter-serien med temat identitetsskapande. Diskussionen om möjligheterna i ett litteratursamtal utgår från sex läsarter, som är den handlingsorienterande läsarten, den betydelseorienterade läsarten, den värderingsorienterade läsarten, den subjektsorienterade läsarten, den intentionsorienterade läsarten och den metakognitiva läsarten. Undersökningen av Harry Potter-serien baseras på en kvalitativ metod för narrativanalys då tolkning och analys presenteras i resultatet och analysen. Studien presenterar Harry Potters identitetsskapande utifrån fyra kategorier. Den första kategorin är den osäkra identiteten, den andra kategorin är den förbestämda identiteten, den tredje kategorin är den sökande identiteten och den fjärde identiteten är den etablerade identiteten.

Tesis

Syftet med denna studie var att ta fram ett minimalistiskt bokomslag till fantasyromanen HarryPotter och De vises sten av J.K Rowling. Studien riktar sig till målgruppen svenska läsare. Inledningsvis undersöktes teori inom minimalism samt inom framtagning av design till bokomslag, sedan följde en förstudie i form av en trendspaning för att styrka behovet och intresset för studiens syfte. Förstudien tog även fram vilka värdeord som behövde uppfyllas för att omslaget skulle upplevas som tilltalande och unikt av målgruppen. Förstudien följdes av en designprocess som startade med en webbaserad enkät där det togs fram värdeord som behövde uppfyllas för att omslaget skulle upplevas som tilltalande och unikt av målgruppen. Efter detta formgavs fem omslag vilka föreställde motiv tagna från bokens innehåll. De fem bokomslagen togs vidare till en värderingsfas där tre bokomslag valdes ut som mest minimalistiska av en yrkesverksam designer, en expert. Dessa bokomslag värderades sedan av fyra respondenter som ingick i studiens målgrupp. Slutsatsen av studien visar på att de i denna studie använda sätten av minimalistiska designprinciperna upplevdes rikta sig mot en äldre målgrupp vilken respondenterna ansåg vara målgruppen för de senare delarna av de sju böckerna i serien om Harry Potter. Sammanfattningsvis var respondenterna trots detta positivt inställda till minimalistisk design och uttryckte att det kändes kreativt, tilltalande och unikt.

A pesquisa aborda a representação do jornalismo na ficção de Harry Potter transmídia – sua função social e seu ethos profissional. A partir da análise de conteúdo, avaliamos os sete livros, os oito filmes e o site Pottermore que fazem parte da franquia, explorando a capacidade narrativa de cada plataforma. Definimos a série como narrativa transmídia com base em Jenkins (2009a) e, a partir de uma visão geral do enredo de Rowling, acionamos os conceitos de função social e ethos profissional que permeiam o jornalismo para pensar a representação da profissão na franquia. Mapeamos onze funções sociais da profissão no enredo de Rowling – informar; contextualizar, interpretar e explicar a realidade; motivar debate público; vigiar os poderes; orientar sobre como viver no mundo; organizar o tempo do leitor (ouvinte, espectador) na vida cotidiana; formar um presente social de referência; manter a sociedade unida; instruir e educar os leitores (ouvinte, espectador); conferir valor para pessoas, objetos e instituições; proporcionar entretenimento. Observamos também como se constrói o ethos profissional, identificando quatro perfis de jornalistas criados na história de Harry Potter – o inescrupuloso, o idealista, o profissional e o chapa-branca. As funções sociais ocupadas pela profissão variam de acordo com seu contexto na história e o ethos que cada jornalista incorpora determina como elas serão cumpridas e se serão cumpridas. As posições dos veículos e dos jornalistas se alteram com o desenrolar da história, registrando as mudanças sociais e se tornando parte delas. / This research addresses the representation of journalism in the transmedia fiction of Harry Potter - its social function and its professional ethos. Using content analysis, we evaluate the seven books, the eight films and the Pottermore site that compose the franchise, exploring the narrative capability of each platform. We define the series as a transmedia narrative as established by Jenkins (2009a) and, from an overview of Rowling's plot, applied the concepts of social function and professional ethos that permeate journalism to reflect about the representation of the profession in the franchise. We mapped eleven social functions of the profession in Rowling's story - report; contextualize, interpret and explain the reality; encourage public debate; watch the other powers; instruct people on how to live in the world; organize the reader's (listener, viewer) time in everyday life; form a social present of reference; keep society together; instruct and educate readers (listeners, spectator); lend credibility and prestige to people, objects and institutions; offer entertainment. We also observed how the professional ethos is built, mapping four journalist profiles created in the Harry Potter story – the unscrupulous, the idealist, the professional and the subdued to the government. The social functions fulfilled by journalism in the story vary according to its context in the narrative and the ethos that each journalist incorporates determines how this functions will be fulfilled and if they will be fulfilled. The positions of the vehicles and journalists change in the course of story, registering the social changes and becoming a part of them.
