Identity
Studieplan: Identity - growing up and gender
A theme on identity.
In the first part of the theme “identity”, focus is on the subtheme “growing up”. “Growing up” should be seen as the identity formation that occurs as one grows up and transitions from child to youth to adult. Focus is on: different groups in society, bullying, problems in school, identity, child upbringing.
Key terms: coming of age, parent-child relationship, dysfunctional family, growing up.

Charles Bukowski's 'Son of Satan' (short story), 1982.

The Beatles, 'She's Leaving Home', 1967.
In this subtheme, we focus on different aspects of gender issues: sex vs. gender, gender as a social construct, the stereotypical perceptions of the gender roles ascribed to being male or female. To challenge this position the term ‘gender bender’ will be explored and examined.
This topic has set out to introduce gender both as a biological and socially constructed term. The students have worked with different voices within different genres such as short stories, lyrics, articles, speeches, commercials. Themes touched upon are amongst others: stereotypes, male and female identity, norms, sex vs gender, feminism and the debate about gender equality and freedom, sexual orientation, acceptance, heteronormativity, gender identity, pronouns, modern society, gender bender.
