’Om jag bara inte var så äcklig’ : – en motivstudie om mobbning i skönlitteratur för barn och hur dennalitteratur kan användas i skolan

Isaksson, Maria January 2022 (has links)
Uppsatsen analyserar Frida Nilssons bok Jagger, Jagger (2013) och R.J. Palacios bok Undret (2013), som båda behandlar ämnet mobbning. Undersökningens syfte är att dels analysera hur mobbning framställs i dessa böcker, dels hur böckerna, och skönlitteratur med motivet mobbning i allmänhet, kan användas i arbetet mot mobbning i skolan. Analysen genomförs utifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv, med närläsning och litterär texttolkning som metod. I den didaktiska diskussionen om hur böckerna kan användas i undervisning, kopplas egna reflektioner till Louise Rosenblatts receptionsteori och Aidan Chambers boksamtal. Analysen visar på ett flertal aspekter som berör gestaltningen av mobbning i de två barnböckerna, såsom att offren är impopulära, har få vänner samt är normbrytande. De utsätts främst för relationell och verbal mobbning. Förövarna i böckerna har hög social status och är överlägsna sina offer. Omgivningens reaktion och hantering av mobbningen är inte särskilt omfattande. Däremot skildrar Jagger, Jagger den starka inverkan som en utomstående individ kan ha på offrets hantering av mobbningen. Undret har en mer realistisk karaktär och Jagger, Jagger en mer fantastisk inriktning, vilket medför att den sistnämnda får en mer humoristisk lätthet i allvaret och samtidigt öppnar upp för tolkning hos läsaren. Den didaktiska diskussionen belyser skönlitteraturens värde i undervisningen samt hur läsning ger barn tillgång till fiktionsvärldar med skilda perspektiv, vilket i sin tur kan utveckla deras empatiska förmåga.

Lucifer och den performativa filmkonsten : En studie kring sataniska visioner i den kaliforniska filmvärlden

Ljung, Peter January 2019 (has links)
This study regards the influence of ’modern’ satanism on performative art in the nineteen sixties- and seventies. The methodological framework consists of performativity theory, religious visual culture and aesthetics of experimental film. The material consists mainly of cinematic work by Kenneth Anger and Alejandro Jodorowsky, as well as musical performances by the likes of Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie. In addition to this material I also use academic texts, dissertations and books written about the subjects themselves as a foundation for my own further analysis and discussions. By looking closely at a selection of cinnematic work of foremost Kenneth Anger, I try to show how his own esoteric and occult interests are present as a fundamental part of his creative process and the following filmworks/artworks themselves. This is also put into relationship with Anton Szandor Lavey, founder of the Church of Satan, and their common thoughts concerning ritually performed magic. By using performativity theory I trie to emphasise the interlocking structures of these two worlds in the artwork of Kenneth Anger and other artists active in the culturual ’milieu’ of the sixties- and seventies. The results indicate that the religious sphere of satanism, occultism and esotericism (and alternative modes of religion in general) was closeley inflicted with counterculture-infused film and music (as represented by the selection of material).

The artistic discovery of Assyria by Britain and France 1850 to 1950

Esposito, Donato January 2011 (has links)
This thesis provides an overview of the engagement with the material culture of Assyria, unearthed in the Middle East from 1845 onwards by British and French archaeologists. It sets the artistic discovery of Assyria within the visual culture of the period through reference not only to painting but also to illustrated newspapers, books, journals, performances and popular entertainments. The thesis presents a more vigorous, interlinked, and widespread engagement than previous studies have indicated, primarily by providing a comprehensive corpus of artistic responses. The artistic connections between Britain and France were close. Works influenced by Assyria were published, exhibited and reviewed in the contemporary press, on both sides of the English Channel. Some artists, such as Gustave Doré, successfully maintained careers in both London and Paris. It is therefore often meaningless to speak of a wholly ‘French’ or ‘British’ reception, since these responses were coloured by artistic crosscurrents that operated in both directions, a crucial theme to be explored in this dissertation. In Britain, print culture also transported to the regions, away from large metropolitan centres, knowledge of Assyria and Assyrian-inspired art through its appeal to the market for biblical images. Assyria benefited from the explosion in graphical communication. This thesis examines the artistic response to Assyria within a chronological framework. It begins with an overview of the initial period in the 1850s that traces the first British discoveries. Chapter Two explores the different artistic turn Assyria took in the 1860s. Chapter Three deals with the French reception in the second half of the nineteenth century. Chapter Four concludes the British reception up to 1900, and Chapter Five deals with the twentieth century. The thesis contends that far from being a niche subject engaged with a particular group of artists, Assyrian art was a major rediscovery that affected all fields of visual culture in the nineteenth century.
