"I'm the bitch who makes you a man" : En studie av genus och heteronormativ tvåsamhet i Gone Girl

Gone Girl är den bästsäljande romanen av Gillian Flynn. Trots försäljningssiffrorna så har inte mottagandet varit genomgående positivt. I denna studie analyseras Gone Girl på de nivåer som sträcker sig utanför deckarens ramar. Syftet med studien är att studera hur genus dels porträtteras i romanen men även hur den påverkar den heteronormativa tvåsamheten mellan Amy och Nick som är romanens huvudkaraktärer. Utöver detta kommer även karaktären Amy att analyseras för att studera hur hon framställer sig själv genom sitt skrivande.                       Den använda metoden för analysen är en närläsning av romanen med fokus på utvalda scener. Analysen kommer främst att fokusera på heteronormen, genuskonstruktion, stereotypa könsroller men även vad normen för deckare och kriminalromanen är och hur den porträtteras i Gone Girl. Till analysen används dels Judith Butlers performansteori och teorin om den heterosexuella matrisen men även genusforskning av Heléne Thomsson och Ylva Elvin-Nowak.                       Min studie leder mig till att porträtteringen av genus och en heteronormativ tvåsamhet i Gone Girl är psykiskt skadlig för huvudpersonerna Amy och Nick men även fysiskt farlig för Desi som får offra livet för idén om kärnfamiljen. Studien fokuserar även på flera händelseförlopp i romanen som målar upp Amy som en pastisch snarare än den kvinnliga psykopat medier anklagat henne för att vara.

“Something radically wrong somewhere”: the kindred of the Kibbo Kift, 1920-1932

This thesis examines the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, a co-educational outdoors organisation that claimed to be a youth organisation and a cultural movement active from August 1920 to January 1932. Originally part of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, the Kibbo Kift offers rich insight into the interwar period in Britain specifically because it carried forward late Victorian and Edwardian ideology in how it envisioned Britain. Members constructed their own historical narrative, which endeavoured to place the organisation at the heart of British life. The organisation’s internal life revolved around the unique mythology members developed, and the movement aspired to regenerate Britain after the First World War physically and spiritually. This thesis argues Kibbo Kift was a distinctive movement that drew upon its members’ intellectual preoccupations and ideals and inspired its members to create unique cultural artefacts. While the Kibbo Kift was ultimately too politically ambiguous to have lasting political impact on a national scale, examining the organisation offers important insight into intellectual thought and cultural production during the British interwar period. This thesis charts the changes the organisation underwent through its membership and the different trends of intellectual thought brought in by individual members, such as its leader, John Hargrave, brought to the group. It examines the cultural production of the organisation’s unique mythology, which created a distinctive historical narrative. It surveys gender issues within the organisation through the “roof tree”, an experimental family unit, and the group’s increasing anti-feminism. Finally, it considers how Clifford H. Douglas’ economic theory of social credit caused the Kibbo Kift to transform into the Green Shirts Movement for Social Credit and later into the Social Credit Party of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
