AbstractMaster’s Thesis in Comparative literatureTitle: Ghettoiserade Vampyrer. En studie av barnvampyrlitteratur och dess betydelse för vampyrlitteraturgenren (Ghettoized Vampires. A study of children’s vampire literature and its significance for the vampire literature genre)Writer: Peter KostenniemiDepartment of Literature, History of Ideas and ReligionSupervisor: Anna NordenstamExaminer: Yvonne LefflerKey Words: Vampire literature, children’s literature, Der kleine Vampir, Nattens BørnIn vampire literature research the focus usually lies on adult and, to some extent, young adult fiction. Children’s vampire fiction is seldom addressed and when it is, the conclusions are that the vampire in it is kind and unharmful. To view children’s literature as a category by itself is to ghettoize it from adult literature and that is what often occurs in vampire literature research; children’s vampire fiction is seen as first and foremost children’s literature and not vampire literature. The aim of this theis is, in accordance to the hermeneutics of Paul Rioeur, to decontexualize three works of children’s vampire fiction as children’s literature and recontextualize them as vampire literature. The three works are the series Der kleine Vampir (The Little Vampire) (1979–2008), the series Nattens Børn (Children of the Night) (2006) and The Vampire Hunter’s Handbook (2007). With the use of Gérard Genettes categories of transtextuality the analyzis views the vampire in these works as both good and evil, both harmful and unharmful. Der kleine Vampir also combines characteristics of the ‘old vampire’ from the 1900th century with a contemporary context, something that serves as a metatextual commentary to the rise of the modern vampire. The portrayal of vampires in Der kleine Vampir serves as an anti-thesis of vampires such as Louis in Anne Rice’ Interview with the Vampire.Der kleine Vampir and Nattens Børn is also about a lovestory between a human being and a vampire, but the relation is viewed differently from vampire romances such as The Twilight Saga. In vampire romances the vampires are represented as male objects of perfection, very much alive and eternally young. In Der kleine Vampir and Nattens Børn the female vampire is portrayed as being both dead and alive, both eternally young and aging and constitutes a connection between femininity, death and aging that is reoccurring in vampire romances.The vampires Rüdiger and Anna in Der kleine Vampir transgress the borders between the vampire world and the human society and serves to develop a common genre convention in works such as The Southern Vampire Mysteries and the tv series Being Human where these borders are challenged. The conclusion of the thesis is that the children’s vampire literature should not be ghettoized from the vampire literature genre, but instead integrated in it. When this is done it is possible to see that the children’s vampire literature is not only influenced by the vampire literature genre but also serves to influence

机译：比较文学中的抽象硕士论文标题：贫民区（Ghettoiserade Vampyrer）。研究（吸血鬼吸血鬼。对儿童吸血鬼文学的研究及其对吸血鬼文学体裁的意义）作家：彼得·科斯滕涅米文学，思想和宗教史系主任：安娜·诺登森·维密纳尔：安娜·基恩斯坦（Anne Keyenstam） ，儿童文学，克莱因·吸血鬼（Der kleine Vampir），纳滕斯·伯恩（NattensBørn）在吸血鬼文学研究中，重点通常放在成人小说上，并在某种程度上，是年轻的成人小说。很少讨论儿童的吸血鬼小说，而得出的结论是，其中的吸血鬼是善良且无害的。仅将儿童文学视为一个类别，就是将其与成年文学隔离开来，这在吸血鬼文学研究中经常发生。儿童的吸血鬼小说被视为首要的儿童文学，而不是吸血鬼文学。根据保罗·里奥尔（Paul Rioeur）的解释学，该理论的目的是将三本儿童吸血鬼小说的作品去皮化为儿童文学，并将它们重新背景化为吸血鬼文学。这三部作品分别是《小吸血鬼》（1979-2008），《夜之子》（2006）和《吸血鬼猎人手册》（2007）。通过使用GérardGenettes类别的跨文本性，分析人员将这些作品中的吸血鬼视为善恶，既有害又无害。 Der kleine Vampir还结合了1900世纪的“旧吸血鬼”的特征和现代语境，对现代吸血鬼的兴起进行了超文本的评论。 Der kleine Vampir中吸血鬼的刻画是吸血鬼的反义词，例如Anne Rice在《吸血鬼访谈》中的Louis。Derkleine Vampir和NattensBørn也是关于人与吸血鬼之间的爱情故事，但是这种关系与吸血鬼浪漫片（《暮光之城》）不同。在吸血鬼恋情中，吸血鬼被表现为完美的男性对象，非常活跃，并且永远年轻。在《 Der kleine Vampir》和《 NattensBørn》中，女性吸血鬼被描述为既死又活，既年轻又衰老，并在吸血鬼浪漫中再次出现了女性气质，死亡和衰老之间的联系.Der kleine Vampir中的吸血鬼Rüdiger和Anna跨越了吸血鬼世界与人类社会之间的边界，并在诸如《南方吸血鬼之谜》和电视连续剧《人类》等作品中发展了一个共同的体裁惯例，挑战了这些边界。本文的结论是，不应将儿童的吸血鬼文学从吸血鬼文学流派中分离出来，而应纳入其中。完成此操作后，可能会发现儿童的吸血鬼文学不仅受吸血鬼文学体裁的影响，而且还可以影响
