Klanens ledare : En intersektionell maktanalys av Han som föddes att möta mörkret / The Leader of the Clan : An Intersectional Power Analysis of Chronicles of Ancient DarknessBerglind, Tyra January 2021 (has links)
This study analyses Michelle Paver’s youth book series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness from an intersectional power perspective. Gender and age are the main elements, and with these two power structures comes another layer of the analysis, namely, the postfeminist idea that it is impossible to categorise people as they are too diverse and ambivalent. Several characters, both youths and adults, are examined to see whether gender stereotypes are followed and if they determine what position of power the characters end up with. The study also explores whether the gender structures vary in groups where adults are present versus in groups where they are not. This adds another perspective, which is the element of age and therefore the problem of aetonormativity. The adults are the norm and they are in charge of the youths. However, when the youths meet with the adults, the two power structures, age and gender, clash in the question of whether a young man gets the upper hand over an older woman, or vice versa. In the end, the analysis concludes that even though the book series follows stereotypical gender structures in several ways, it also presents a query as to whether both gender and age categorisations are accessible and valid. Most main characters question their sufficiency and oppression on several levels, both in insecurities and in open discussion, and this result ends up harmonising with a postfeminist thought pattern. For all to be free from the hardships of not being adequate, or not receiving fair treatment from others based on gender or age, these structures must be questioned and perhaps even challenged.

’Do we need the kids here?’ : Maktrelationer mellan ungdomar och vuxna i Amie Kaufman och Jay Kristoffs Illuminae files-trilogi (2015–2018) / ’Do we need the kids here?’ : Power Relationships Between Young Adults and Adults in Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s Illuminae files-trilogy (2015–2018).Olsson, Mikaela January 2022 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur åldersbaserad makt skildras i Amie Kaufman och Jay Kristoffs Illuminae files-trilogi (2015–2018). Genom att studera protagonisterna Kady och Hanna söker uppsatsen svar på vad som händer när unga får makt och hur vuxna reagerar på detta. Tidigare forskning fokuserar främst på hur vuxna förtrycker barn (aetonormativitet) eller hur barn kan få makt (the mighty child). Malin Alkestrands alternativa analyseringssätt the controlled adolescent-motif och the mighty adolescent-motif kombinerar de två tidigare begreppen för att tydligare urskilja hur makten är flytande och skiftar mellan barn och vuxna. Jag har använt Alkestrands termer för att studera hur makten förflyttar sig mellan de unga och de vuxna i trilogin. Undersökningen visar att Kady och Hanna har kompetens inom teknik, militär strategi och kampsport vilket möjliggör för dem att ta makt. I situationer när the mighty adolescent-motif framträder kämpar de vuxna emot och nervärderar ofta ungdomarna verbalt i ett försök att visa auktoritet och ta tillbaka makten. När the controlled adolescent-motif framträder trycks de unga ofta till sidan men kan få makt genom en vänlig vuxen som står upp för dem. Noterbart är att Kadys pappa använder sin makt för att ge de unga makt och framstår genom det som god. I slutet återställer han dock makthierarkin mellan sig och ungdomarna, vilket varken Kady eller Hanna säger emot. Detta visar på att ungdomarna tillåts ha makt i situationer där deras kompetens kan användas för de vuxnas bästa, men att vuxna alltid kommer återta makten i slutet.

Oändliga möjligheter i en begränsad karneval : En analys av barnets makt i Michael Endes roman Den oändliga historienEndertorp, Frida January 2023 (has links)
There has always been some sort of power struggle between children and adults in children’s literature. My essay is an analysis of the German children’s fantasy novel The Neverending Story (swe. Den oändliga historien, ger. Die unendliche Geschichte) with focus on the child’s power and power related relationships between the child and adults. The power dynamics play a large part in the novel that is rarely, or never, talked about. I will use a close reading analysis regarding the main character Bastian’s relationship to different adult characters, his journey to power, how the novel fits Bachtin’s carnival theory and the true ruler of Bastian’s world as well as the world of Fantastica (swe. Fantásien, ger. Phantásien). The study shows among other things that while Bastian gains power throughout the novel, he is somewhat punished for using that power and ultimately loses it. He is subordinate to the adults around him; however, holds some sort of power over them at different points in the novel. His journey to power can be described with Clémentine Beauvais’ concepts of authority and might, where the mighty child gains authority in Fantastica. The journey can also be described as a carnival, though that can also be questioned regarding the fact that Bastian is punished for using his power. In my analysis, I also question who, or what, holds the mightiest position in Bastian’s world and Fantastica respectively. At the end of the day, Bastian is just a child with the potential of being mighty, but his age makes him subordinate to the adult world.
