Värdegrund genom sci-fi : En didaktisk analys av fyra science fiction-noveller med utgångspunkt i gymnasieskolans värdegrundFällman, Linnéa January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this essay is to explore the possibilities of using science fiction short stories when discussing the morals and values prescribed by the Swedish curriculum for upper secondary level. The two main focus points are pinpointing the ways in which the four short stories depict cognitive estrangement, and examining how these elements of cognitive estrangement aid in the use of these stories in the classroom. A hermeneutic method, in which the material is analyzed and interpreted from a didactic viewpoint, is used to achieve these two goals. Through the analysis of the four short stories, values such as tolerance, responsibility, autonomy, and understanding others’ viewpoints can be found, and the illustrations are well suited for a variety of topics for discussion in a classroom scenario. These values are illustrated through the fictious environments and situations that signify the science fiction genre – the element of cognitive estrangement.

Miljö och anarki : En ekodidaktisk undersökning av Ursula K. Le Guins roman De obesuttnaPour Mozaffar, Linda January 2021 (has links)
Denna uppsats undersöker Ursula K. Le Guins roman De obesuttna och knyter den till miljöperspektivet i gymnasieskolans värdegrund i syfte att undersöka några didaktiska möjligheter. Metoden som används för undersökningen är närläsning av romanen. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna är Darko Suvins idé om ”kognitiv främmandegöring/cognitive estrangement” som effekt i science fiction, ett ekokritiskt litteraturteoretiskt perspektiv samt didaktiska perspektiv kopplade till demokrati. Resultatet visar att läsareffekten av De obesuttna, genom kognitiv främmandegöring, kan leda till perspektivskiften och insikter som är väl förenliga med syftet i värdegrundens miljöperspektiv. Läsning av Ursula K. Le Guins utopiska roman De obesuttna utgör en synnerligen god utgångspunkt för diskussioner kring hållbarhet och ekologi i skolans värdegrundsarbete.

The Word for World is Forest : A multidisciplinary approach to teaching about genocideZalazar, Marco January 2023 (has links)
The current position proposed as a possible antidote to future human conflicts is to educate our students about the horrific consequences of past atrocities. To this end, this research paper will examine the possibilities of teaching the students to recognize and reject dehumanizing attitudes in society. The concept of dehumanization and our collective capacity to prevent or resist such attitudes in society will be introduced by reading Ursula K. Le Guin’s novella The Word for World is Forest [Forest] from 1972. The close reading of the novella will be examined in adherence to Suvin’s theory of cognitive estrangement, in which the novella’s ability to act as a mediator for past and current historical events will be explored. The goal is to raise awareness of the many factors that may precede genocide and broadening the students’ capabilities of recognizing historical patterns. The main concepts for this study will primarily be adopted from the academic field of psychology in order to study the social roles each character reflects in relation to the notion of Triangle of Genocide. Secondly, different historical perspectives will be considered to correlate events from the book with historical equivalents. Lastly, from Socratic pedagogy to address complex questions and address them in an educational framework titled Peace Education. This paper aims to contribute with a unique approach to the reading of Le Guin’s novella and suggests didactic methods for implementation focusing primarily on upper secondary students in a Swedish school setting.

Architectural Prototypes II : Reformations, Speculations and Strategies in the Digital Design FieldRunberger, Jonas January 2012 (has links)
This doctoral thesis is situated within the digital design field of architecture, and is a continuation of the licentiate thesis Architectural Prototypes: Modes of Design Development and Architectural Practice, presented at the KTH School of Architecture in 2008. The doctoral thesis investigates the current status of the digital design field of architecture, and identifies a number of related discourses. Within this field, it identifies a period of formation, which in recent years has turned into a process of reformation. It contributes to this ongoing reformation by proposing two alternate areas of future practice and research within the field. A speculative approach is considered to be important for a continued mode of exploration within the field, and is suggested as away to bring new scope to the digital design field. A number of key terms from the field of science fiction studies have been investigated to support the construction of a speculative framework for further development. A strategic approach is regarded as crucial to the way new design potentials that have emerged within the digital design field to be implemented into general architectural practice, and to further inform the field itself. Key concepts have been imported from the field of strategic management in the formulation of a framework for digital design strategies. The notion of the prototype, as explored in the previous licentiate thesis, resurfaces as a prototypical approach, which could be equally employed in the speculative approach and the strategic approach. The doctoral thesis is also situated within the field of research-by-design, in the way architectural design projects have been facilitated as contextualized experiments, selected, documented and aligned in regard to terminology, and analyzed through a series of design project enquiries. / QC 20120528

The attraction of sloppy nonsense: resolving cognitive estrangement in Stargate through the technologising of mythologyWhitelaw, Sandra January 2007 (has links)
The thesis consists of the novel, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis (Whitelaw and Christensen, 2006a) and an accompanying exegesis.
The novel is a stand-alone tie-in novel based on the television series Stargate Atlantis (Wright and Glassner), a spin-off series of Stargate SG-1 (Wright and Cooper) derived from the movie Stargate (Devlin and Emmerich, 1994). Set towards the end of the second season, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis begins with the discovery of life pods containing the original builders of Atlantis, the Ancients. The mind of one of these Ancients, Ea, escapes the pod and possesses Dr. Carson Beckett. After learning what has transpired in the 10,000 years since her confinement, the traumatised Ea releases an exogenesis machine to destroy Atlantis. Ea dies, leaving Beckett with sufficient of her memories to reveal that a second machine, on the planet Polrusso, could counter the effects of the first device. When the Atlantis team travel to Polrusso, what they discover has staggering implications not only for the future of Atlantis but for all life in the Pegasus Galaxy.
The exegesis argues that both science and science fiction narrate the dissolution of ontological structures, resulting in cognitive estrangement. Fallacy writers engage in the same process and use the same themes and tools as science fiction writers to resolve cognitive estrangement: they technologise mythology. Consequently, the distinction between fact and fiction, history and myth, is blurred.
The exegesis discusses cognitive estrangement, mythology, the process of technologising mythology and its function as a novum that facilitates the resolution of cognitive estrangement in both fallacy and science fiction narratives. These concepts are then considered in three Stargate tie-in novels, with particular reference to the creative work, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis.
