Denna uppsats utgår från romanen Montecore: en unik tiger av Jonas Hassen Khemiri, som utkom 2006 på Norstedts Förlag och är Khemiris andra bok efter succédebuten med Ett öga rött. Detta är en intersektionell studie av den förstnämnda som tittar på hur de olika maktordningarna inom romanen ter sig. Men även hur dessa påverkar varandra.

Syftet är att göra en narratologisk analys av Ett öga rött, för att se hur Khemiri använder maten i berättandet. Mycket av konflikten bygger på mat, exempelvis att huvudpersonen vägrar att äta svensk mat och och kontrasten mellan svensk mat och mat frånmellanöstern. Lösningen på konflikten innehåller också mat, då de olika matkulturerna sammanförs. Den teoretiska grunden är Mieke Bals narratologi samt teorier om hur migranter använder sin och värdlandets mat.

This essay explores the possibility to use fiction as a starting point in integrated teaching in Swedish upper secondary school. A hermeneutic method is used in the analysis of novels by the Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri. Two novels are analysed: Jag ringer mina bröder (2012) and Allt jag inte minns (2015). The analysis is based on theories of central themes in the curriculum for the subjects Swedish, religious science, social science and history. The focus of the essay is the didactic potential of Khemiris novels in multidisciplinary education regarding the selected themes: identity, ethnicity and gender equality. It is further discussed how the novels can be used as study material and the results shows that fiction, such as novels by Jonas Hassen Khemiri, is a good basis for multidisciplinary teaching.

This paper is about the construction of a ”Swedish” identity in the novel Montecore: en unik tiger by Jonas Hassen Khemiri (translated in English to Montecore: the silence of the tiger). In the paper I start by, after a short introduction, introducing the theoretical background against which the novel will be analyzed. The main focus is postcolonial theories with Edward Saids work about making “the Other” as a base. I then go through some contemporary Swedish studies about race as a category and internalized racism, make a brief introduction to performativity, to finish with the thought provoking theories about the cyborg by Donna J. Haraway. In the section about method I present discourse analysis and the social constructionism that permeates postcolonial studies and discourse analysis and therefore the paper. Finally I analyze the material. In this section I use made-up dialogues to illustrate the different positions the characters take when responding to the imagined community that is Sweden, and the conditions imposed on those wanting to be accepted as Swedes. I use policy documents of a Swedish political party, Sverigedemokraterna (the Sweden Democrats) as a counterpart in the dialogues. Thereafter I have a short conclusion, and then you’re free.

Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka framställningen av identitet och existentiella frågor i skönlitterära verk av Jonas Hassen Khemiri i förhållande till kursplanen i religionskunskap och läromedel i ämnet. Studien som har genomförts med en hermeneutisk textanalys har visat att många läromedel i religionskunskap brister i framställningen av identitet och existentiella frågor, vilka båda är centrala delar i kursplanen. Vidare har analysen visat att Khemiris verk behandlar identitet och existentiella frågor på ett nyanserat sätt och att verken därför kan fungera som komplement till läromedel. Jag har dragit slutsatsen att skönlitteratur är ett möjligt komplement till läromedel i religionskunskap.

The purpose of this study is to examine how immigrant authorsare mediated in texts. The study is based on three magazines which are directed towards the library sector. These texts have been published from the year 2000 to the year 2012. The study focuses on two of these magazines, namely Bibliotek i Samhälle and Biblioteksbladet. The study focuses on authors who write in the swedish language, but who still seem to be perceived as immigrant authors. The method used in this study is critical discourse analysis (CDA) according to Norman Fairclough. How the studied authors are being described are presented with quotations from the texts. These quotations are analysed from semantic relations. Further analysis displays first how immigrant authors are legitimated. Second it displays how immigrant authors are paraphrased in the texts. The results show that the texts focuses on the two authors Jonas Hassen Khemiri and Theodor Kallifatides. The texts paraphrasethe immigrant authors as participants of debates about the society,in a way that undermines the category of the immigrant author, aswell skilled in language and as public persons in book fairs. The final discussion stress that nothing indicates that the examined texts presuppose that some authors should be seen as immigrantauthors. The results of this study therefore do not support the results of earlier studies that have declared that some authors seem to be treated as immigrant authors. / Program: Bibliotekarie

This thesis studies Karin Boye’s novel Kallocain: Roman från 2000-talet (1940) and Ett öga rött (2003) by Jonas Hassen Khemiri. The aim of the analysis is to examine the novels’ portrayals of power in order to see if there are traces of totalitarian tendencies from the dystopian novel Kallocain, in the contemporary story of Ett öga rött. Due to the intention of the analysis, I chose to apply a palimpsestic methodology, meaning I have analyzed Ett öga rött – symbolically – on top of Kallocain. The theoretical groundwork consists mainly of Michel Foucault’s theory on power, particularly from his book Discipline and Punish (1975), but other works that have studied Foucault have been of help as well. My results show that the same disciplinary powers are visible in Kallocain and in Ett öga rött. The governments, schools and other individuals exert the same type of power over the main protagonists Leo and Halim, which confirms that the totalitarian methods used in the fictional state of Kallocain are also utilized in Hassen Khemiris portrayal of Sweden in Ett öga rött. The discussion on knowledge is applicable in the same way. The notions of propaganda and truth are hard to separate in both novels, but I conclude that knowledge is used to control and adapt nonconforming people to standard society, while also constructing the protagonists as subjects and objects of power. This happens in Kallocain as well as Ett öga rött. The protagonists also use three methods to resist the disciplinary power, mainly: external resistance, internal resistance, and mimicry. These forms of resistance aim to free the protagonists from the oppressive norms and make them feel like individuals who cannot be controlled.
