Samtidens och framtidens genus i litteraturundervisningen : En analys av den didaktiska potentialen i dystopierna Makten och Felet med Eden, med koppling till skolans värdegrund

Sammanfattning: The goal of this essay is to examine the gender systems and potential critique of these gender systems in Makten and Felet med Eden using a discourse analysis and a character analysis focused on gender. These findings are then tested for their potential didactic potential, and this is connected to the values that must be present in Swedish schools. This essay finds that both books have aspects that confirm and contradict current gender norms. Makten contains a lot of critique of these structures, while Felet med Eden is somewhat contradictory in its critique. Both books were found to have didactic potential and could favorably be used in work focused on gender from the perspective of the fundamental values of the Swedish school system (värdegrunden).
