Pappan, mamman och fyren : Manligt och kvinnligt i Tove Janssons Pappan och havet och Muminpappans memoarerNilsson Lindberg, Sanne Sebastian January 2010 (has links)
Tove Jansson was born in 1914 and died in 2001. She was a Finnish, though Swedish-speaking, novelist and painter. She wrote many books of which the Moomin books were the most popular. She wrote in total eight Moomin books (picture books not counted) of which some were rewritten one of more times. The first Moomin book appeared in 1945 and the last as late as 1970. Two Moomin books, Moominpappa at Sea and The Memoirs of Moominpappa, deals especially with the father in the Moomin family which is the character I have been most interested in. Several other studies have been done of the Moomin books, but none of them have had the dad and the gender relations between him and the mum as its focus. No earlier study has looked at the Moominpappa with masculinity studies as a tool for analysis. The main aim of this study was to find out how masculinity, unmanliness, femininity and gender relations are staged and problematized in two books by Tove Jansson: Moominpappa at Sea and The Memoirs of Moominpappa. I have also studied the construction of gender differences between the Moominpappa and the Moominmamma. The books have been read and then analyzed with psychoanalysis and masculinity studies as the main analyzing tools. The psychoanalysis has in parts been feministic. The result is that Moominpappa at Sea tells about a masculinity that is not working and about gender relations that has to be rebuilt in order to give the Moominpappa a sense of masculinity. The Moominmamma is oppressed and mostly fits herself into that gender relation, but she also makes her own world by painting the walls of the lighthouse tower and even manages to escape into her painting. The growing Moomintroll tries to find his own ways by moving away from the family and starts coming close to the frozen Groke which makes her dance and melt. In my analysis she is an abjected version of the Moominmamma and The Lighthouse Keeper as an abjected version of the Moominpappa.

"Ta det lugnt, här finns inga värre saker än vi själva" : En psykosyntetisk delpersonlighetsanalys av Tove Janssons muminsvit / "Take it easy, there are no worse things here than ourselves" : A psychosynthetic subpersonality analysis of Tove Jansson's Moomin novelsPetersdotter, Camilla January 2021 (has links)
The essay examines how characters in the Moomin novels change through relationships based on a psychosynthetic subpersonality analysis. This is a new perspective in the field of literature and therefore a solid theoretical basis in psychosynthesis is given and a presentation of my method which includes the concept of subpersonalities. Then three main constellations of characters that focus on Moomin, Sniff, Snufkin, Moominmamma, the Groke, Fillyjonk, Hemulen and Whomper Toft are analyzed. From my discussion it appears that the characters are types who each have their own way of being, thinking and feeling, and in this way Tove Jansson writes a whole where differences may exist. With my perspective, the light is directed towards how the characters integrate sides of each other and thereby develop. The results show that the characters change through the relationships between them, and that a synthesis in each constellation arises.
