1	Textfragment och kroppsmaterial : En analys om kroppens gestaltning och gränsöverskridande i Drömfakulteten / Textfragments and body material : An analysis of the body's conformation and cross-boundary in The Dream Faculty Lindberg, Emelie January 2020 (has links) This study aims to examine the norm-breaking body in Sara Stridsbergs literary fantasy Drömfakulteten (2006) or The Faculty of Dreams (English translation, 2019) which explores Valerie Solanas’ life. Solanas is known for the feminist text SCUM Manifesto (1968, Swedish translation, 2003) and for shooting the artist Andy Warhol. Solanas has a very distinct separation between body and mind that is apparent in the novel. She ignores her body and whishes not to be aware of it. She only ever thinks about her manifesto, which becomes her mind. To explore the norm-breaking body, my essay is based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of the grotesque body. In this work, I also present different theories that have been inspired by the grotesque, for instance; the female grotesque and the gurlesque. While the grotesque focuses more on the body as a biological organism, the female grotesque and gurlesque focus more on how the female body and femininity is perceived in society and how they break the societal norms. The women are making a “spectacle of themselves”, in Mary Russo’s words. I want to apply these theories on the protagonist, Valerie Solanas, and analyze how the grotesque and norm-breaking body is portrayed in the novel. To further the exploration between body and mind I have the decided to analyze the meaning of the manifesto for Solanas, and also the narrator’s role in how her body is described to the reader.

2	”Det är hög tid att börja svina” : En komparativ analys av den kvinnliga grotesken i Kerstin Thorvalls Det mest förbjudna (1976) och Martina Montelius Oscar Levertins vänner (2015) Eriksson, Lova January 2017 (has links) I denna uppsats undersöks likheter och skillnader mellan huvudkaraktärerna i Kerstin Thorvalls Det mest förbjudna (1976) och Martina Montelius Oscar Levertins vänner (2015) utifrån figurationen av den kvinnliga grotesken. Den kvinnliga grotesken är hon som gör ett spektakel av sig själv och omkullkastar hierarkierna genom att inte bete sig enligt den normativa kvinnorollen – hon är en emancipatorisk figuration som har möjlighet att trotsa rådande maktordningar. En komparativ närläsning görs av romanernas huvudkaraktärer utifrån fem valda aspekter: Den manliga blicken, Plikten som kvinna, Kladdet och den groteska kroppen, Skrattet och att göra ett spektakel av sig själv samt Sexuella begär och skam. Uppsatsens teoretiska begrepp hämtas i första hand från Anna Lundbergs Allt annat än allvar - Den komiska kvinnliga grotesken i svensk samtida skrattkultur (2008) och Mary Russos The female grotesque: risk, excess and modernity (1995). Avslutningsvis diskuteras hur båda romanerna skildrar kvinnliga utvecklingshistorier där huvudkaraktärerna bejakar sina inre grotesker och på så sätt undviker samhällets konventioner. Den kvinnliga grotesken har inte förändrats nämnvärt under de senaste 40 åren, utan de kvinnliga plikter och normer som upplevdes tryckande under 70-talet gör sig påminda än idag och den rebelliskt tvära attityden mot dessa är lika stark hos båda huvudkaraktärerna.

3	Äta djävlar, föda ord : Om återkommande groteska motiv i Mikael Niemis romaner Kyrkdjävulen, Populärmusik från Vittula, Fallvatten och Koka björn Östling, Marie January 2022 (has links) This essay deals with recurring grotesque motifs in Mikael Niemi’s novels Kyrkdjävulen, Populärmusik från Vittula (Popular Music from Vittula), Fallvatten and Koka björn (To Cook a Bear). It aims to widen the academic understanding of Niemi’s works by focusing on their aesthetics in relation to previous studies, which have mostly been concerned with placing Niemi in a context of Tornedalian minority literature. With the grotesque defined as monstrous and boundary breaking imagery that challenges common rational, ideological or moral world views, this study shows that these motifs can both strengthen, nuance and undermine postcolonial interpretations of the novels.Through Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the grotesque, emphasis is placed on the subversive and utopian aspects of the grotesque motifs. With the use of Sigmund Freud’s term the uncanny (das unheimliche) and Julia Kristeva’s term the abject, psychological and emotional aspects of the selected motifs are drawn to the surface. And, by turning to Sara Ahmed’s thoughts on emotions and performativity, the function of disgust in said motifs is examined. The grotesque motifs in question are: the degradation of the mouth, the lower animals, the boy with the knife, the witch mother, and the androgyne. The first part of the analysis shows that in Niemi’sworks the mouth is associated with storytelling, power, agency and the subject’s ability to both knowand express himself, but also to take the world into himself and be changed by it. The mouth is often degraded, which in a carnivalesque manner results in a linguistic revival. The second part of the analysis argues that lower animals, such as rats, reptiles and bat-like devil spawn, are symbols of the abject – that which man must cast out in order to exist. The motifs of the rats and devils are associated with themes of language, identity and writing, but also allude to a threatening feminine principle. In the third part of the analysis, the motifs of the boy with the knife, the witch mother and the androgyne are found to be juxtaposed to and interwoven with each other in narratives concerning gender, sexuality and coming of age. The results of the study show that Mikael Niemi utilizes grotesque aesthetics to give shape toprocesses of growth and change, captivity and liberation, and a complicated sense of identity that eludes clear and rational definitions. The grotesque in these novels is not purely utopian in a Bakhtinian sense, but more emotionally ambivalent. A determining factor to whether the grotesque image brings true renewal or only a repetition of past pain is the will and choice of the individual. Thus, Mikael Niemi’s novels speak not so much of the power of a minority identity, as of the power and potential of the individual to reinvigorate that identity. They form an individualized, existential project in a Tornedalian context.
