SSO om autofiktion og "Forbandede Yngel" i Dansk A

Indledning

I min opgave vil jeg redegøre for begrebet autofiktion, hvordan begrebet oprindeligt opstod, begrebets fremkomst i dansk litteratur, for til sidst at beskrive de forskellige grene der findes af autofiktionen. I redegørelsen vil jeg bl.a. inddrage uddrag fra den udleverede kronik af Poul Behrendt og Mads Bunch, ”Autofiktion har knust modernismens facade”, fra Politiken d. 28/4 2015. Dernæst vil jeg analysere og fortolke bogen ”Forbandede yngel” af Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzky fra 2013, hvor jeg vil komme omkring bogens tematikker, bogens komposition, karakterisering af miljø samt udvalgte personer, for til sidst at karakterisere genren og holde den op imod autofiktion. Som den sidste del af min opgave vil jeg diskutere, hvorfor autofiktion er så populær som den er i dag, her vil jeg også perspektivere til Yahya Hassans digtsamling, ”Yahya Hassan” fra 2013. Som afslutning runder jeg naturligvis af, med en konklusion ud fra hele opgaven.

Abstract

The concept autofiction can be difficult to define. Autofiction is the name of a new concept in literature, containing both fiction and reality at the same time. The 3 criteria’s for what an autofiction should contain, is the identity of name between author, narrator and the main character, which usually indicates reality, placing the concept “novel” on the book cover, which usually means fiction, while the context of the book contains both. Yet, there are many different versions of autofiction, at least 3. Autofiction has become popular, especially in Denmark, since the publication of Karl Ove Knausgård’s novel “My Struggle” in 2010. Since then, a variety of Danish writers has found inspiration in Knausgård’s novel, to write their own autofiction. Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzky’s book “Cursed breed” from 2013 is not published under the concept autofiction, but neither as the concept novel, due to the cover of the book. And since there is a lot of identification to be drawn between Riebnitzky herself, and the main character of the book, Lisa, one can only speculate of what to make of it. A reason for the popularity of the new concept today, may be due to the therapeutic aspect of writing down one’s own life story, while still having the security of having the rights to say; yes I am the lead character of my book, but it is just fiction, although some of it is true.
