Dagens amerikabrev : Det är precis som på TV

Wångblad, Charlotta January 2007 (has links)
<p>This master thesis is looking into the stories on the internet forum www.resedagboken.se. The stories of Swedish teenaged exchange students in the U.S. are studied and the main purpose is to see both what they are writing about and the reason for why they are spending their time writing down their experiences in a public forum.</p><p>Even though most of the teenagers here are writing with a specific audience in mind, all the stories are free to anyone to take part of and this causes a difficult position for the teenagers who often seem to forget the public point of view when they are telling about their personal lives.</p><p>The study is divided into two parts. The first one looks into the content of the stories and the other one focuses on the storytellers and their reasons for writing. The teenagers are writing both a lot about their everyday lives in their new environment, but also a lot of things to keep in touch with what their friends and family in Sweden are doing. To get their readers to understand and connect more with them over the stories, most of them use references to movies and TV-shows to help the readers visualize the writers’ experience.</p><p>As the teenagers are experiencing this year on their own and are spending a year abroad without the usual supporting by family and friends, my results are pointing to that they are using these stories to get the support they need. Not only are they using the support from the past to deal with the present, they also use these stories so they will keep their place amongst their friends in Sweden. They use stories to prepare both themselves and their family and friends for their return.</p>

Robinson Crusoe var också vilse : Barnlitteraturens utforskande av närmiljöer som reseberättelser / Robinson Crusoe had gotten lost : Exploration of surroundings in children's literature as a form of travel writing

Zander, David January 2020 (has links)
Travel writing studies spans a vast section of literature from travel diaries to tales of explorations and fantastical adventure stories. One area that has been less examined by travel writing is children’s literature. This paper examines the relationship between travel writing and children’s literature from the basis of children being inherent explorers. That is, as persons that are constantly exploring new environments and confronting otherness as a vital part of their development. This relationship is studied by focusing on children’s literature narratives that show the interaction with nearby or everyday environments that are foreign to the child. Environments like “the woods” or a nearby field might fall within what an adult would call nearby surroundings, but to a child they are areas outside of the known world. These aspects make the child’s nearby journey into a narrative that can use or subvert tropes and themes from classic travel writing about exploration or adventure. By studying three children’s texts - “Pippi Longstocking arranges a picnic” (Astrid Lindgren 1945), Bridget and the gray wolves (Pija Lindenbaum 2000) and Lilly vill ha äventyr [Lilly wants an adventure] (Sanna Töringe &amp;amp; Kristina Digman 2007) – this paper examines the relationship between children’s narratives of exploring one’s near surroundings and the explorations of far away and exotic lands in travel writing. Several connections are shown where the texts use motifs from travel writing, such as highlighting elements of fear connected to unknown environments and animals in the explorations of new spaces.

Reseberättelsens didaktiska potential : En analys av Fredrika Bremers reseberättelse Hemmen i den nya världen och Henry Morton Stanleys Hur jag fann Livingstone. / The Didactic Potential of Travel Writing : An analysis of Fredrika Bremer’s Homes of the New World and Henry Morton Stanley’s How I found Livingstone

Rosenberg, Moa January 2019 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur historiska reseberättelser kan användas i svenskundervisning på gymnasiet. Detta gjordes genom en analys av Fredrika Bremers Hemmen i den nya världen (1853–1854) och Henry Morton Stanleys Hur jag fann Livingstone (1872) där genretypiska teman och konflikter identifierades utifrån bland annat Carina Lidströms genrekriterier och personabegrepp. De teman som analyserades är: persona, läsarens man på plats, mötet med andra kulturer samt kvinnligt och manligt. Dessa utgjorde tillsammans med bland annat Kathleen McCormicks litteraturdidaktiska repertoarteori grunden för den avslutande didaktiska diskussionen.  Resultatet visar att både Bremers och Stanleys reseberättelser har många teman och konflikter som lämpar sig för undervisning, bland annat att de visar på ideologiska motstridigheter i sin samtid, och att reseberättelsen som genre har hög didaktisk potential bland annat genom sin position mellan fakta och fiktion. / The aim of this essay is to examine how historical travel writing can be used in the teaching of Swedish in the upper secondary school. This is done by an analysis of Fredrika Bremer’s Homes in the New World (1853–1854) and Henry Morton Stanley’s How I Found Livingstone (1872), where the genre-specific themes and conflicts are identified, using Carina Lidstöm’s genre criterias. The themes are persona; the reader’s ”man on the scene”; meeting of other cultures, and female and male gender roles. Together with Kathleen McCormick’s literary didactic repertoire theory, these themes form the basis for the closing didactic discussion.  The results show that both Bremers’s and Stanley’s travelogues have many themes and conflicts that are suitable for teaching, including signs of ideological contradictions in their time, and that travel writing as a genre has a high didactic potential through its position between fact and fiction.

Kant och papegojan : Om exemplen i Kritik av omdömeskraften

Enström, Anna January 2011 (has links)
This essay is an examination of the examples in Kant’s Critique of Judgement. The examples which I have focused on all converge in an idea of wildness. These examples of the beautiful are illuminated by a culture-historical perspective, where the literary and scientific travelogue genre is of great importance. Apart from being exegetic and culture historical, my method is also analytic. The general ambition is to answer the question; what is the parrot doing in the third Critique and what makes it a better example of a free beauty than a jackdaw? Taking as point of departure Jacques Derrida’s notion of parergonality, the example is primarily understood as formative for the thesis, not only as illustrative. By analysing Kant’s use of the wild, exotic and colourful objects as examples the essay intends to show how imagination and understanding operates in the beautiful. The parrot thus corresponds with the role of imagination in its relation to understanding in aesthetic judgement. The examples manifest the strength of the imagination and how it dominates understanding through its wildness. The aim is to present a way to approach the restful contemplation that Kant ascribes to the mind in the experience of the beautiful as bearer of a movement with considerable importance. Rodolphe Gasché’s emphasis on the wild examples as a precognitive minimum for understanding and Hannah Arendt’s view on imagination as an ability of intuition without the presence of the object, have also been essential for my argument.
