  • Using Fiction to Support Gender Equality: the Case for Neverwhere
    Högskolan i Halmstad Sektionen för lärarutbildning Engelska 61-90 hp - Using Fiction to support gender equality: the case for Neverwhere and Pride and Prejudice - Karen Gustavsson C-uppsats Handledare: Anna Fåhraeus 2 Abstract This essay is a discussion of how fiction can be used in teaching English as a second language to promote gender equality. The novels analyzed are Pride and Prejudice and Neverwhere. Firstly, the term gender is explained. Secondly, there is some research that demonstrates how gender is a social construction. The focus of this essay is on the role of the teacher, since his or her expectations and his or her way of interacting with students is crucial to promote gender equality in the classroom. Additionally, there is a discussion of the strategies that can help the teacher to detect bias in the teaching material. Furthermore, there are suggestions on how the novels can be used to promote gender equality through using the content-based approach. 3 Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................... 4 Literature overview ................................................................................................... 5 Method ...................................................................................................................... 7 What is gender? ......................................................................................................... 8 The role of the teacher .............................................................................................

  • American Gods by Neil Gaiman Image
    American Gods by Neil Gaiman Image: the cover of American Gods Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming – a battle for the very soul of America . and they are in its direct path. American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Visit Neil Gaiman’s site: http://neilgaiman.com/ Read Chapter 1: http://neilgaiman.com/works/Books/American+Gods/in/181/ Reviews: Library Journal: In his latest novel, Gaiman (Neverwhere ) explores the vast and bloody landscape of myths and legends where the gods of yore and the neoteric gods of now conflict in modern-day America. The antihero, a man of unusually acute intellect through whose eyes we witness the behind-the-scenes dynamics of human religion and faith, is a convict called Shadow. He is flung into the midst of a supernatural fray of gods such as Odin, Anansi, Loki One-Eye, Thor, and a multitude of other ancient divinities as they struggle for survival in an America beset by trends, fads, and constant upheaval—an environment not good for gods. They are joined in this struggle by such contemporary deities as the geek-boy god Internet and the goddess Media. There's a nice plot twist in the end, and the fascinating subject matter and impressive mythic scope are handled creatively and expertly. Gaiman is an exemplary short story writer, but his ventures into novels are also compellingly imaginative.

I focus on the ways in which American Gods is situated within an intertextual corpus of mythological and mythopoeic writing. In particular, this study analyses Gaiman’s writing by drawing upon Mircea Eliade’s ideas about mythology and Northrop Frye’s archetypal criticism to discuss the emergence of secular myth through fantasy fiction. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Sean Edward Dixon GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene American University, Washington DC DEGREES AWARDED: Master of Arts,

  • Religion in Good Omens
    Hugvísindasvið Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Janúar 2014 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Kt.: 281090-2679 Leiðbeinandi: Úlfhildur Dagsdóttir Janúar 2014 2 Abstract When analysing the fantasy novel Good Omens (1990) by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, one comes across various interesting features, most to do with its relationship with the source material, the Bible. As it is a fantasy novel, the authors have defined the Christian biblical elements as foreign and 'other', outside of the realm that is familiar and natural to the reader, and can thereby render both Heaven and Hell antagonistic. An important element of that is the morality of the central characters. Those of them that are human have free will, and are therefore in control of their own destiny and consequently can take responsibility for their actions. Thus the humans are moral creatures. On the other hand, the characters that belong to either the forces of Heaven or Hell, that is, angels or demons, have no free will, and are completely under the control of either God or Satan. Therefore Heaven and Hell are exempt from moral consequences. They have no free will, are not to blame for their actions, and therefore their actions can not be classified as morally good or bad.
