Abstract  Ön har länge varit en plats för utforskning inom litteraturen. Här kan vi undersöka mänskligheten utanför dess normala gränser, bortanför dess större och fixerade kontext. I denna uppsats kommer jag att undersöka ön i litteraturen utifrån ett kronotop-perspektiv, förklara hur ön kan förstås utifrån Bachtins teorier, och hur denna ter sig i De hemligas ö av Sven Wernström och Pappan och havet av Tove Jansson. Syftet med denna analys är att uppnå en fördjupad förståelse för kronotopen som koncept samt belysa hur den kan hjälpa oss se större samhälleliga inflytanden på en mindre och mer lätt-översiktlig skala. Analyserna kommer behandla de tids- och rumsskildringar som finns i dessa verk och hur de ger texten möjlighet att utforska sociala roller och koncept. Jag kommer använda mig av Bachtins kronotop-begrepp för att förklara ön som litterär kontext som jag sedan applicerar på verken. Utifrån resultaten kommer jag diskutera de samhälleliga influenser som påverkat verken.

The aim of this essay is to discuss some of the possible changes than can occur when an adaptation is made, especially in connection to the story telling and possible change in thematic themes, in this paper it’s the ethical point of view that’s examined. Furthermore, the thesis reviews how such changes can involve and affect the viewer in contrast to the reader. This is achieved by analysing The Walking Dead, the comic as well as the TV-show.

The aim of this master’s thesis is to see how a medial transformation of a book with a focus on the book’s intrigue can give a new depth of reading to the children that has joined the activity boktrailerkollo. What extent the project can give a deeper understanding for the children that has been involved in the creating process or if book trailers foremost will be a sweetener for reading.  I am using a quality interview as method with a book talk template as framework. My informants are the three children that has created the book trailer. The essay’s perspective is in the literature didactic fork of literary studies. Book trailer camp was a literary experiment and the five parts (reading, discussion, producing, watching our production, discussing our production) made it a kind of intense multi activity that I want to connect to Art literacy. My primary material was the book Spökjägare by Martin Jern, it’s content the children and I have analysed and shaped thru a book trailer.  To recreate the book became complex and almost impossible, instead it became two separate works from the same basic plot: the book trailer became our own production of such a common interpretation we could achieve.  A clear result was that the children wanted to create another book trailer, which means that they will read again and reflect over the intrigue of the book. Since the children were accustomed readers, they would most likely have done it anyway, but they resumed an extra experience this time with the reflections of characters and the intrigues - even though the story partly lost its meaning due to practical interpretations. One of the children said that he has recommended the book and lent it to friends which also is a result: spreading the word of reading. Through these observations I think that book trailers is a good tool for exploring reading, and will work with those students that have expressed that they don’t read much and need a goal and a sweetener with reading.

Working with students on the spectrum, I often find myself trying to clarify and mediate misinterpretations between students, interruptions in conversations, and reminding them to be active listeners. This essay aims to explore ways in which literature could enhance social cognitive skills among students on the autism spectrum by utilizing Michelle Garcia Winner's methodology, the ILAUGH model, in conjunction with Mark Haddon’s novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In order to build social-cognitive skills among ASD students, literature offers concrete examples of social interaction, non-verbal language, perspectives of others, and role models that the students can mimic. The ILAUGH model's clear structure facilitates the approach to literature in the classroom and can become an instrument in the school environment that raises confidence and helps students feel safe and free from anxiety.

Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att undersöka detektivkaraktärerna Artur Lind i Ingen kan hejda döden och Julia Gabrielsson i UltiMatum utifrån Scott McCrackens beskrivning av de klassiska detektivegenskaperna. Studien avser också undersöka eventuella skillnader i verkens gestaltning av detektiven som kan tyda på genrens utveckling från Trenters tid till vår egen samtid. Hur framställs detektiven såsom hendefinieras av McCrackensom ”vetenskapsman”, ”ensamvarg” och ”modern individ” i de olika verken. Finns det några likheter eller skillnader mellan karaktärernas gestaltning när det kommer till dessa egenskaper?
