The use of features specifik to the novella in Helle Helles Rester and Biler og Dyr
No full textThe 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/

Fravær som et kompositionsprincip i Helle Helles novellesamling Rester (1996)
No full textThe 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
Feminist Retellings: Marginalized Perspectives in Modern Adaptations of Ancient Greek Myths
No full textThis thesis explores how the retellings and expansions of ancient myths in modern literature reshape the original stories through the use of feminist and LGBTQ+ representation. It is shown how three contemporary novels, namely The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Elektra by Jennifer Saint, and Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes, give a voice to historically marginalized groups such as women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The thesis also looks into the power of the narrator when it comes to having members of marginalized communities at the centre of these novels. Further, it addresses how these retellings challenge the traditional interpretations and how the original stories are changed as a result of this. The thesis also looks into how these retellings of myth seek to challenge traditional gender identities and traditional power dynamics. In order to accomplish this, it primarily uses feminist and queer literary theory. These theories are deployed to account for how these novels rewrite traditional Greek myths in order to offer a modern take on identity, self-agency and social justice. The thesis also explores how modern retellings of traditional myths can act as social commentary that engages with feminism and LGBTQ+ rights in modern times
The notion of absence as a structural principle in Helle Helle’s short story collection 'Rester' (1996)
No full textArtiklens 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.

An analysis of Helle Helle's novels Rødby-Puttgarden and Ned til hundene
No full textThis project in Danish literature explores the significance of Danish author Helle Helle’s two novels Rødby-Puttgarden (2005) and Ned til hundene (2008). Explicitly, the project seeks to examine the relation between the two novels, and the role that life in the rural areas of Denmark has in literature. Firstly, the main purpose is to conduct an analysis that focuses on both stylistic and thematic aspects, hereunder to explore Helle Helle’s minimalistic and realistic writing style, in order to understand its connection to her portraits of life outside Denmark’s urban cities. To support the analysis, this project applies Michel Foucault’s theory of Heterotopia and Marc Augé’s theory of Non-Places as to demonstrate how the notion of Place is central to the characters portrayed in Helle’s two novels. On the basis of this, the suggestion is made that, in the case of Helle Helle’s novels, the characters are inevitably connected to place. Lastly, we will discuss Helle’s position in the tradition of writing about life in rural Denmark. In order to add a broader perspective to the results of our analysis, we will include Erling Jepsen’s novel Frygtelig lykkelig (2004), and discuss the similarities and differences in the two authors’ depiction of life in the outermost regions of Denmark

"- Det handler mest sådan om almindelige mennesker": Et speciale om stilistik, metafiktion og forfattereksistenser i romanerne Ned til hundene og Dette burde skrives i nutid
No full textThis master thesis in Danish literature is about the author Helle Helle and her two latest novels Ned til hundene (2008) and Dette burde skrives i nutid (2011). Mainly, the purpose is to conduct both a stylistic and thematic analysis within the two novels. The stylistic analysis aims its focus towards the minimalistic and restrained way of writing in order to characterize the two books. Furthermore this analysis investigates the realism that sometimes may seem peculiar and defamiliarized. Since the two protagonists are both either an established novelist or a novelist to be, and since they are both to be compared with Helle Helle as an author herself, the two books have been pointed out as metafiction in the secondary literature. Unfortunately, no one has provided with an analysis in detail when it comes to this theme, which is why it is this thesis’ main objective is to examine the novels as metafiction and to illustrate the extent of this issue and in particular its connection to just the novels' style as well. This will further interact with a thematic analysis of the metafiction provided be the novels' protagonists as writers.This master thesis in Danish literature is about the author Helle Helle and her two latest novels Ned til hundene (2008) and Dette burde skrives i nutid (2011).
