The Secret World of Harry Potter : The Literary Laws of Fantasy Applied to the Novels by J. K. Rowling

Watts, Robin January 2007 (has links)
<p>My intentions with this essay has been to examine the World in which the story of J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter takes place, the structure, narrative and restrictions, in order to place the suite of novels in the tradition of the Fantasy genre. Since the release of the first book Harry Potter has become a household name, possibly more than any other contemporary literature written for children. Various readings concerning gender, etymological, linguistic aspects and so forth have been done, and in most cases the books are placed in the genre of Fantasy without distinguishing what in fact makes the novels Fantasy. I wanted to see which specific sectors of the books that place them in the genre, and, assuming that it would in fact fit into the Fantasy genre, in which ways it diverges from the tradition of the genre in means of the structure of the world/s of the story. I also looked at the faults in the logic within the novels to see if the inconsistencies in the rules of the world have an impact on the agency of the story.</p><p>I found the novels to be a part of the fantasy tradition, not only by having many intertextual relations and similar features to other fantasy-novels but also in the fundament of the story, its basic conditions such as the supernatural elements and the hidden places in the world of the books. The minor inconstancies that I found where to small to disrupt the narrative, and the fact that some of the aspects of the books drift slightly away from the logic of the world within the story have reasonable explanations such as making the story easier to relate to.</p>

Neuro vadå? Ungen kan ju inte läsa! : Finns det skillnader i tankar kring och arbete med läs- och skrivsvårigheter när lärare utöver sin lärarutbildning även har kunskaper inom neurovetenskap? / Neuro What? The Kid Can’t Read! : Are there differences in ideas and work with reading and writing difficulties when a teacher in addition to their teacher training also has knowledge in neuroscience?

Bergdahl, Sophie, Hultman, Helena January 2011 (has links)
Vår avsikt med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida det finns skillnader i tankar kring och arbete med läs- och skrivsvårigheter, om utbildade lärare även har kunskaper i neurovetenskap utifrån vidare utbildning. För att undersöka detta har vi valt att använda oss av ett frågeformulär bestående av kvalitativa intervjufrågor som metod för insamlig av data. Sex lärare deltar i undersökningen varav hälften av dessa även har en utbildning inom funktionsinriktad musikterapi, vilken har sin grund i neurovetenskap. Forskningsbakgrunden visar på vad forskare anser inom området neurovetenskap kopplat till pedagogik och läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Vi har även redogjort för den funktionsinriktade musikterapin som metod. Resultatet visar att det finns en skillnad mellan lärarna i definitionen av läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Lärare med neurovetenskapliga kunskaper ser till bakomliggande orsaker till barns läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Resultatet visar även på skillnader i hur lärare med olika bakgrund möter barns behov i arbetet med läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Lärare med kunskaper inom neurovetenskap ser barnets utveckling ur ett helhetsperspektiv, vilket ligger till grund för deras arbete med läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Det handlar om att skapa förutsättningar för barnets utveckling snarare än att träna själva svårigheten. För detta ser vi lärarkompetens som viktigaste resurs. Därför bör lärare redan under utbildningen få kunskaper i neurovetenskap och dess betydelse i arbetet med läs- och skrivsvårigheter.
