    Tove Jansson: The Trixter Children's Author

    No full text
    In the essay, based on my book The Trixter Children's Author - Tove Jansson and the Metamorphosis of the Moomin Oeuvre, I shed new light upon the transformations that the main motifs, the Moomin family and the Moominvalley, undergo throughout the the oeuvre. I also trace Jansson's radical revisions of the earlier moomin books. In her final revision of the Moomin series, Jansson not only transformed the earlier spate of self-contained books into a coherent " family romance" suite but also submitted her works and characters to psychoanalysis. I argue that the final Moomin suite should be considered the "true" Moomin oeuvre

    Existentialism in the Works of Tove Jansson

    No full text
    This master thesis deals with the analysis of three selected works about the Moomintrolls by the Finland-Swedish author Tove Jansson. The analysis is done from the perspective of the existentialist philosophy of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The main emphasis of the analysis lies on researching Sartre's phenomena of the so-called social roles in the Moomin books; the thesis deals with this phenomena and theoretical apparatus related to it - the term of mauvaise foi (bad faith), among others - in it's first part. The following chapters consist of literary analysis, which is conducted from the perspective of the individual characters. The main goal of the thesis is to show how the characters reflect their being, whether they realize their freedom and whether their acts are authentic or done with bad faith. In addition, the analysis deals also with the topic of existential anxiety. Keywords Tove Jansson, Moomins, Finland-Swedish literature, existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre, social roles, authenticity, bad fait

    Modern Slavery

    In Modern Slavery – A Comparative Study of the Definition of Trafficking in Persons Dominika Borg Jansson discusses why, despite international anti-trafficking efforts, there are so few trafficking convictions worldwide. In an easily accessible language, the author explains why international legal harmonization in this area has been difficult. Making use of the concept of legal transplants, Dominika Borg Jansson compares experiences from Sweden, Poland and Russia offering insights into especially Russian legislation that are not widely available. The problems concerning the implementation of the international definition of trafficking are here divided into country-specific challenges and obstacles attributable to the original source. Jansson also addresses the effectiveness of criminalization of trafficking and offers suggestions on how future trafficking legislation might be framed

    Bajkovitost dječjih priča Tove Jansson

    No full text
    Ovaj završni rad temelji se na istraživanju karakteristika književnih djela iz područja dječje književnosti suvremene finske autorice Tove Jansson (1914. – 2001.). Veliki uspjeh stekla je kao spisateljica za djecu i za odrasle. Višestruko nadarena umjetnica uglavnom je zapamćena kao kreatorica dječjih priča o likovima Mumina, prevedenih na više od pedeset jezika. Cilj rada je književnoteorijskom analizom utvrditi stilske komponente dječjih priča Tove Jansson u djelima Mumini i velika poplava (2020), Memoari Mumintate (2020), Ljeto u Mumindolu (2019), Opasna zima u Mumindolu (2019) te Nevidljivo dijete i druge priče iz Mumindola (2020) kao i njihovu primjerenost u radu s djecom rane i predškolske dobi. Književnoteorijskom analizom jasno se moglo utvrditi kako u djelima iz serijala priča o Muminima prevladavaju elementi bajkovitosti, no važno je staviti naglasak i na elemente fantastičnosti. Elementi bajke koji se najčešće pojavljuju jesu pojava fantastičnih likova i događaja, naglašenost etičkog karaktera djela, sretan završetak, pojava neparnog broja tri te opisi pejzaža koji su u funkciji radnje. Za fantastičnu priču to su stvaranje čudesnog, antropomorfizacija te pojava natprirodnih likova. Osvrćući se na njihovu primjernost djeci rane i predškolske dobi, po određenim značajkama primjerenosti, jasno je uočljivo kako su prikladna za uporabu u predškolskim odgojnoobrazovnim ustanovama.This final thesis is based on researching the characteristics of literary works in the field of children's literature by the contemporary Finnish author Tove Jansson (1914 – 2001). She achieved great success as a writer for both children and adults. A multitalented artist, she is primarily remembered as the creator of children’s stories about the whimsical characters known as the Moomins, translated into over fifty languages. The aim of this thesis is to determine, through theoretical literary analysis, the stylistic components of Tove Jansson's children's stories in works such as Mumini i velika poplava (2020), Memoari Mumintate (2020), Opasno ljeto u Mundolu (2019), Zima u Mumindolu (2019), and Nevidljivo dijete i druge priče iz Mumindola (2020), as well as their suitability for working with children of early and preschool age. Through theoretical literary analysis, it has been clearly established that elements of fairy tales dominate in the Moomin series, but it is also important to highlight the presence of fantastical elements. The common fairytale elements include the presence of fantastic characters and events, a pronounced ethical nature, happy endings, the occurrence of the number three, and landscape descriptions that support the narrative. For fantastical stories, the creation of the fantastic, anthropomorphism, and the presence of supernatural characters are notable. Considering their suitability for young and preschoolaged children, based on specific appropriateness features, these works are suitable for use in preschool educational institutions
