  4. 3. Fjärilar i bärnsten och det eviga flickskapet : om flickvinnans omöjliga åldrande och skeva begär hos Sara Stridsberg

    Master-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Genusvetenskap

    Författare :Thea Ahlgren; [2023]
    Nyckelord :femininitet -er ; flickskap; skevteori; ålder; queer temporalitet; Sara Stridsberg; skev läsning;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to address how “skevt” [skewed] girlhood is constructed in relation to age, time, and sexuality in three literary works of the Swedish author Sara Stridsberg: the novel Darling River (2010), the play Konsten att falla (2017) and the short story Tre systrar (2021). In the study, I pose the following questions: How is the skewed girlhood portrayed in relation to constructions of time and age? How does the construction of skewed femininity interact with the construction of sexual practice and sexual desires?     I use the term “skev” – a Scandinavian variation and hybrid of queer – to address how the girlhood is subverted in the texts, as well as to analyze how this not only occurs in relation to heteronormativity, but also within it.

Hornung’s Raffles stories were not only immensely popular in their time, but were also a reflection of the fin-de-siècle and of the cultural role aestheticism played in the late Victorian society.

    Författare :Fanny Berg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Shirley Jackson; queer reading; internalization; self-surveillance; heteronormativity;

    Sammanfattning : The female gothic as a genre, with its emergence in the 19th century, has a history of critiquing women’s place in the domestic sphere by showcasing the horrors of the home. When The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson was first published in 1959, it did so with both this historical genre background, as well as with a resurgence of traditional gender roles as an ideal.
