    No full text
    The aim of this thesis is to investigate the way in which the novellas in Rester and Biler og Dyr, by the Danish author Helle Helle, uses the typical features of the novella. This is done in order to get an impression of the way in which one can say, that they comply with these typical features and the way in which one can say that they exeed them.Through this investigation an attempt is made to place the texts within the genre field of the different short texts that resemble the novellas. These are kortprosa (short prose), short story and noveller (novellas).This investigation is based on theory about short prose by Max Ipsen in his book Kortprosa 1990-2003 and theory about the novellas by Annemette Hejlsted in her book Novellen – teori og analyse.<br/

    The paper analyses the short story collection titled Remnants written by the notable Danish author, Helle Helle. This work is characteristic of the contemporary minimalist movement, and is one of the most significant works of the 1990’s in Danish literature. The main point of the paper is the notion of absence and loss, which is treated as the work’s dominating principle. The paper attempts to prove that this governing principle of “absence and loss” both applies to the collection’s plot and its composition. Accordingly, several examples from the text are included to demonstrate the principle’s relevance

    Artiklens formål er at foretage en analyse af Helle Helles novellesamling 'Rester' (1996), som er en af de mest opsigtvækkende novellesamlinger i 1990’ernes Danmark. Hovedvægten lægges på fravær, mangel og tab som samlingens dominerende kompositionsprincipper. Fraværsprincippet gælder for alle niveauer i teksten, dvs. for kompositionen, indholdet og sproget. Talrige eksempler på mangel- og tabstematikken bruges i artiklen for at anskueliggøre princippets relevans.The paper analyses the short story collection titled 'Rester' (Remnants) written by the notable Danish author, Helle Helle.
