Økokritisk analyse av Tarjei Vesaas’ novelle «Tusten». Forfatter: Gro Haldis Videsjorden http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Sammendrag I denne masteroppgaven studerer jeg hvilke økokritiske innsikter som kan leses ut fra novellen «Tusten» fra Tarjei Vesaas’ novellesamling Vindane (1952). Målsettingen med oppgaven er å undersøke og beskrive hvordan Vesaas’ sanselige fremstilling av naturen og av hovedkarakteren Mattis i novellen kan bidra til å synliggjøre naturens betydning så vel som relasjonen mellom menneske og natur. For å gjøre dette, har jeg fordypet meg i økokritisk teori av Henning Fjørtoft, Greg Garrard, Arne Næss, Tore Rem, Espen Stueland og Arne Johan Vetlesen. Novellesjangeren blir belyst med blikk på novellens lyriske funksjon der hovedtyngden ligger på teorier fra Charles E. May. Med støtte i Philip Shaw gjør jeg rede for det sublime uttrykk som formidler det sanselige i det romantiske språket. Alexa Weik von Mossners teorier følger gjennom hele oppgaven idet hun fremhever litteratur som omhandler natur, som et viktig virkemiddel for å bekjempe klimakrisen (Weik von Mossner 2017, 7–8). Den endelige konklusjonen er i hovedsak at naturens stemme synliggjøres gjennom Mattis’ sansning av naturen, som i neste rekke kan føre til ny erkjennelse og forståelse hos leseren.

  • Knut Hamsun at the Movies in Transnational Contexts
    KNUT HAMSUN AT THE MOVIES IN TRANSNATIONAL CONTEXTS Arne Lunde This article is a historical overview that examines how the literary works of Knut Hamsun have been adapted into films over the past century. This “Cook’s Tour” of Hamsun at the movies will trace how different national and transnational cinemas have appropri- ated his novels at different historical moments. This is by no means a complete and exhaustive overview. The present study does not cite, for example, Hamsun films made for television or non-feature length Hamsun films. Thus I apologize in advance for any favorite Hamsun-related films that may have been overlooked. But ideally the article will address most of the high points in the international Hamsun filmography. On the subject of the cinema, Hamsun is famously quoted as having said in the 1920s: “I don’t understand film and I’m at home in bed with the flu” (Rottem 2). Yet while Hamsun was volun- tarily undergoing psychoanalysis in Oslo in 1926, he writes to his wife Marie about wishing to learn to dance and about going to the movies more (Næss 129). Biographer Robert Ferguson reports that in 1926, Hamsun began regularly visiting the cinemas in Oslo “taking great delight in the experience, particularly enjoying adventure films and comedies” (Ferguson 286). So we have the classic Hamsun paradox of conflicting statements on a subject, in this case the movies. Meanwhile, it is also important to remember that the films that Hamsun saw in 1926 would still have been silent movies with intertitles and musical accompaniment, and thus his poor hearing would not have been an impediment to his enjoyment.

  • Hele Tekster Versus Utdrag – Hvilke Tekster Velger Norsklærerne? Sigrid Skaug Og Marte Blikstad-Balas* Universitetet I Oslo
    Nordic Journal of Literacy Research Fagfellevurdert artikkel Hele tekster versus utdrag – hvilke tekster velger norsklærerne? Sigrid Skaug og Marte Blikstad-Balas* Universitetet i Oslo Sammendrag Lesing av skjønnlitteratur er en sentral del av norskfaget. Med innføringen av K06 ble listene over verk og forfatterskap fjernet fra norskplanen, og valg av tekster ble med dette opp til den enkelte lærer – et prinsipp som videreføres i fagfornyelsen 2020. Vi vet lite om hvilke tekster lærere velger å bruke i norskundervisningen, og i hvilken grad de leser hele teksten eller et eller flere utdrag fra den, noe vi med denne studien ønsker å undersøke. Datamaterialet bygger på en spørreundersøkelse med 153 norsklærere i vg3, der vi kartlegger hvilke litterære utdrag og hele verk lærerne bruker i undervisningen og deres holdninger til lesing av utdrag og hele verk. Et tydelig funn er at utdrag er en svært utbredt praksis blant lærerne i utvalget. Analysen viser også at visse enkelttekster (hovedsa- kelig fra 1800-tallet) og utvalgte deler av Henrik Ibsens forfatterskap og tekster er så hyppig brukt i undervisningen på tvers av klasser, at denne litteraturen i praksis er med på å opprettholde en form for skjult litterær kanon. Videre viser analysen at lærerne oppfatter lesing av utdrag og hele verk som to svært forskjellige aktiviteter, som tjener relativt motsetningsfylte mål i norskfaget. Norsk: Skjønnlitteratur; lesing; utdrag; kanon; norskfaget Abstract Reading of literature plays a key role in the language arts subject. In Norway, the curriculum has since 2006 given teachers’ ample room to decide themselves which authors and which literary texts they want to use in their classrooms.

Han var best med de døde, som det ble sagt. Historien er fortalt i 1979, da Bernhard Hval nesten åtti år gammel ser tilbake på et helt århundre, gjennom et par ekstremt spesielle briller, og gir oss trekanthistorien mellom ham selv, kona Sigrid og kappgangeren Notto Fipp. Er utkommet Utgis også som lydbok.

In a few pages Askildsen portrays the situation of a of short stories. He entered the literary scene in 1953 with the collection of short stories person, and with that a whole destiny. In A Great Deserted Landscape From Now on I'll Take You All the Way Askildsen truly shows his insight into the human mind and his lingustic Home. Askildsen’s hallmark is his seemingly sensitivity. plain voice that quivers with a latent desire to communicate, and is frequently couched in a very black and cynical humour which, but for Winner of the Norwegian Literary Critics' Prize 1991. a deep well of irony, might seem dispiriting, even depressive. His human insight and masterly penmanship enable the few words "In a masterly manner, Askildsen uses an ancient literary device: the aggressive he uses to convey an instantaneous vulnerability.
