dc.description.abstract | Denne oppgaven utforsker hvordan narrativer påvirker vår oppfatning av andre mennesker til en så stor grad at enkelte drap anses som berettiget, kanskje også forventet. Fokuset i oppgaven ligger på narrativer som går mot det generelt aksepterte narrativet. Oppgaven handler om hvordan karakterer i The Hate U Give og Frankenstein in Baghdad jobber for å ta tilbake kontrollen på og redefinere narrativer som undertrykker dem. Dette blir utforsket ved hjelp av nekropolitikk, affektteori og postkolonialisme. | |
dc.description.abstract | This paper explores how narratives shape our perception of people to the extent where some murders are justified and even expected. The focus area of this thesis is counternarratives, and how characters in the novels The Hate U Give and Frankenstein in Baghdad work to reclaim and redefine the narratives that suppress them. This is explored through the lens of necropolitics, affect theory and post-colonialism.
Keywords: Police brutality, racial profiling, necropolitics, Black death, violence, othering, counternarratives, monstrosity. | |
