  • Introduction Narratives of Children's Literature Around 1968
    Introduction Narratives of Children’s Literature Around 1968 We like to think of the 1970s as the decade when Swedish chil- dren’s literature became political. However, when later critics began sketching the most significant changes in children’s literature of the period the verdict was harsh. The tidal wave had changed. Now the critics turned against the demand for socially oriented realism, and questioned the aversion towards imagination and fantasy which, it was argued, had characterized Swedish children’s literature since the late 1960s. An illustrative example is found in an article written by Ronny Ambjörnsson in the summer of 1981, in which he attacked the alleged dominance of the socio-realistic norm in the 1970s, and argued for another kind of children’s literature. In Ambjörnsson’s view, it was clear that Göran Palm’s call for more realistic literature in the early 1960s had become a major influence for the writers of children’s books. In light of this, Ambjörnsson states that the chil- dren’s literature of the 1970s had turned anti-idyllic and realistic at the expense of imagination and fairy tales (R. Ambjörnsson). In short, Ambjörnsson claimed that the fairy tale genre was “banned” from children’s literature during the 1970s, and he argued that this entailed undesirable effects for the reading child. In his view, the insight into societal problems strived for in socially orient- ed children’s books did not necessarily lead to liberation or change, it could just as easily result in resignation. Moreover, he argued, there are important aspects in life that cannot be described in the language of realism.

  • KOMMER VOVVEN” En Studie Av Verbalsyntax I Småbarnsbilderböcker
    GÖTEBORGS UNIVERSITET Institutionen för svenska språket Svenska språket ”KOMMER VOVVEN” En studie av verbalsyntax i småbarnsbilderböcker Lisa Loenheim SPECIALARBETE, 10 POÄNG Svenska språket, fördjupningskurs 2 (61–80 poäng) Vårterminen 2007 Handledare: Anders-Börje Andersson Sammandrag I uppsatsen jämförs verbalsyntaxen i småbarnsbilderböcker med mål­ gruppens språk, med syfte att avgöra hur barnspråksnära författarna skriver. Urvalet av böcker utgår från en lista utgiven av Regionbibliotek Västra Götaland med rekommenderade böcker för barn upp till 2 år. Följande författare är representerade i studien: Barbro Lindgren, Anna- Clara Tidholm och Catarina Kruusval. Uppsatsens teoretiska ram är den generativa grammatiken och metoden är kvalitativ. Generativ analys används för att undersöka korrelationen mellan barnboksspråkets och barnspråkets syntaktiska komplexitet, dvs. närvaro/frånvaro av funktionella fraser som Inflection Phrase (IP) och Complementizer Phrase (CP) som medger komplexa, finita satser. Generativ teori används också för att förklara frekventa, avvikande syntaktiska fenomen som deklarativa VS-satser och subjekts­ lösa yttranden i barn- och barnboksspråket. I resultatdelen konstateras att författarna i sina enklare serier skriver barnspråksnära. Böckerna förutsätter ingen CP-grammatik. Tidholm använder icke-finithet, Lindgren och Kruusval finita men enkla yttran­ den. Vidare nyttjar Lindgren satstypen VS och Tidholm subjektslösa yttranden. Dessa barnspråksnära fenomen förekommer inte hos Kruus­ val, som genomgående använder

  • Läsrörelsen (The Reading Movement), Background Story Läsrörelsen, Projects
    May 2015 Läsrörelsen (the Reading Movement), background story The first national campaign of the non-profit association, Läsrörelsen, started in 2000 with the motto “Give your children a language”, which is now the motto of the association. The initiative was partly due to a marked decrease in the number of parents who read to their young children, a development that had been going on for years and been reported in the so called Barnbarometern (Children’s Barometre) in 1999. Another reason was a study made by the OECD, which showed that 25 percent of the adult population in Sweden lacked in terms of reading and writing skills. A follow-up study showed that 20 percent of young adults (18–25 years old) did not manage to reach a level of reading and writing required to graduate from compulsory school. Läsrörelsen is also a continuation of the national Dyslexikampanjen (Dyslexia Campaign) carried out during the end of the 1990s, where Elisabet Reslegård acted as campaign leader and Bengt Westerberg (former Liberal Party leader and Deputy Prime Minister) as chairman. They maintained the same roles during the first years of Läsrörelsen. Another national campaign, Lär för livet (Learn for Life)/Läsrörelsen, began in September 2002, with curiosity as the keyword. Just like the previous campaign, it was a main theme at the Göteborg Book Fair. Läsrörelsen, projects LÄSLOVET (the Reading Holiday) week 44 – a wide collaboration to promote reading Every year, one million Swedish pupils have one week of holidays in the winter and one in the autumn. When the first holiday week was introduced in the winter of 1940 during World War II, it was called the Coke Holiday and was put in place to save heating costs in the schools (coke was used for heating at the time).
