Lovisa Berg – författare

Begreppet litteracitet är användbart för att beskriva och analysera människors handlingar, känslor, värderingar och attityder som är direkt eller indirekt kopplade till skrift.Den här antologin belyser såväl användning som utveckling av litteracitet inom andraspråksundervisning för vuxna, framför allt inom utbildning i svenska för invandrare. Författarna behandlar flera betydelsefulla aspekter av lärares praktik i klassrummet och samarbetet med kollegor, men också elevernas lärande och de olika typer av stöd som underlättar deras andraspråksutveckling. Flera av kapitlen lyfter fram grundläggande litteracitetsundervisning för vuxna som före migrationen till Sverige haft begränsade möjligheter till formell utbildning.Boken vänder sig främst till lärarstuderande och verksamma lärare med intresse för litteracitet, andraspråksundervisning och vuxenutbildning.

Denna antologi riktar ljuset mot språkets betydelse i lärande med moders­mål och minoriteter i blickfånget. Såväl modersmålsstöd i förskolan som modersmålsämnet i skolan diskuteras i syfte att ge djup kunskap om modersmålsundervisningens kulturella, sociala och politiska dimensioner.Författarna lyfter fram det positiva som förknippas med modersmålsstöd och modersmålsämnet, men uppmärksammar i lika hög grad en rad utmaningar som förskola och skola står inför samt diskuterar möjliga vägar framåt. Bland mycket annat redogör de för modersmålsstödets och modersmålsämnets framväxt och utveckling i Sverige samt de särskilda regler som gäller för de nationella minoritetsspråken i modersmålsundervisningen.Flera kapitel är språkdidaktiska i sin inriktning och behandlar bland annat digitala verktyg för att stimulera lärande samt resonerar kring hur transspråkande som förhållningssätt och pedagogisk praktik kan vara en del av modersmålsundervisningen. Modersmålselevernas syn på språk, språk­användning och modersmålsämnet samt modersmålslärarnas yrkesroll uppmärksammas också.Modersmål, minoriteter och mångfald vänder sig särskilt till lärare, lärar­studenter, modersmålslärare och rektorer. Med sina olika infallsvinklar ger boken värdefull kunskap om förutsättningar och villkor för alla elevers lärande.

What can novels tell us about masculinity in Syria? In this book, Lovisa Berg explores over 20 Syrian novels covering the last 50 years of the 20th century. Uniquely, she examines only female writers in order to gauge the changing ways in which Syrian women perceived the function of masculinity, and the impact certain attitudes towards masculinity have on men, women, children and Syrian society, from a female perspective. The works of writers from Kulit Khuri to Usayma Darwish are analysed to explore changing attitudes to gender in Syria and the Middle East, as well as the political upheavals within the country and region. We see the idealistically portrayed men in the novels of female authors in the 1950s give way in time to a more critical depictions of patriarchy. Above all, we see through the use of novels a plethora of critiques of masculine hegemony in Syrian society, the authors of which are able with the use of fiction to reorganise and question maleness in a way denied to them in reality. This book will be of interest to scholars of Contemporary Syrian and Arabic Literature, Masculinity Studies and Women’s Studies.
