Det vidgade textbegreppet : i teori och praktik

Sammanfattning: This work is about the expanded conception of text and takes off in the use of this expression in the high school curriculum. The work begins with a theory chapter, where a few different definitions of text are the basis for reasoning about factors which can have contributed to an expansion of the conception. Hereby other important expressions, related to the expanded conception of text, as hypertext, multimedia and intermediality, are brought up. Further, is examined empirically how the expanded conception of text is interpreted, rhetorically and practically, by a few teachers in the High School. Finally, covered scientist’s theories are discussed and compared with the concluded empiric data. The study shows however, that the expanded conception of text in the curriculum has not become a conception for the teachers who were interviewed. Only one of the included teachers has developed a conscious philosophy about texts and let her interpretation of text liberate itself from the paper format. A conclusion is that if teachers to a greater extent understood and worked with an expanded conception of text in mind, people would better handle the text flow they meet in the society in the future.
