Syftet med denna uppsats är att tolka ett verk för piano, i detta fall ?Prélude? ur Claude Debussys svit ?Pour le piano?, genom en grundlig form- och strukturanalys. Under arbetets gång har jag litterärt fördjupat mig i Debussys musik för att sedan göra en analys som omfattar olika musikaliska byggstenar. Kring analysen för jag en diskussion om hur den kan hjälpa mig i mitt musicerande. De slutsatser som jag kommer fram till är att analysen hjälper mig hitta samband och se helheten i musiken samt att den ger mig information i notbilden som annars går förlorad.

This essay is an examination of the examples in Kant?s Critique of Judgement. The examples which I have focused on all converge in an idea of wildness. These examples of the beautiful are illuminated by a culture-historical perspective, where the literary and scientific travelogue genre is of great importance. Apart from being exegetic and culture historical, my method is also analytic.

Title: Strokes of music - Harmonic methods for modal music.The aim of this paper is to develop harmonic methods for music based on different modes or scales. It begins with an exploration of the music of Claude Debussy and then goes on with other methods and scales and also includes an analytic chapter and results at the end. With "strokes of music" I mean a musical technique, which has some parallels to how a painter can choose colors and palettes to express what he is looking for ? the freedom to choose between colors and palettes, or in music tones and scales ? to move between them by sudden or leading modulations, from the diatonic scales with alternative formations, to the symmetric spheres, to the melodic pentatonic scales and other alternative new formations, using plateauic solutions or chords in diatonic, functional and non-functional progressions. A scale can be used as tonality or subordinated and the harmonic rhythm can be both with no movement and fast paced.Syftet med detta dokument är att utveckla harmoniska metoder för musik som bygger på olika modus eller skalor.

Syftet med uppsatsen ?r dels att genom analys s?ka de budskap som finns i tre oljem?lningar som ing?r i en serie som Banksy kallat Crude Oils, dels att genom intervjuer unders?ka hur ett antal betraktare uppfattar verken. De tre m?lningarna ?r Banksys versioner (parafraser) av tre k?nda konstverk av Claude Monet, Edward Hopper och Diego Vel?zquez. De teorier och metoder som anv?nds i den analytiska delen ?r framtagna av Roland Barthes respektive Charles Forceville vid studier av annonser. I den empiriska delen till?mpas semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet av analyserna visar att det i m?lningarna finns budskap som kritiserar konsumtion, klassamh?lle och den hysteri som figurerar inom sk?nhetsbranschen.

Konstnären Claude Monets trädgård, som är belägen i byn Giverny några mil nordväst om Paris, är en trädgård som anlades under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet, men som sedan rekonstruerades på 1970-talet. Trädgården, som har sitt ursprung i impressionismen, har genom sin koppling till Monet, hans konst och till en viss tid, en viss betydelse som kan skapa krav på att den rekonstruerade trädgården ska vara så lik och autentisk den ursprungliga trädgården som möjligt. Denna upplevelse av autenticitet kan i historiska trädgårdar beröra aspekter som objekt, idé, tanke eller känsla i trädgården. Inom bevarande av trädgårdar finns det flera olika metoder för bevarande, varav konservering, restaurering, rekonstruktion, och ny/-omgestaltning finns representerade i detta arbete. Rekonstruktion, som innebär ett återskapande av något som tidigare funnits, har i Monets trädgård inneburit ett återskapande som har utgått från representationer av olika slag.

The Sand Catcher                                                       The thesis project The Sand Catcher investigates the encounter between permanent structures and an ever-changing landscape. The migrating sand dune Råbjerg Mile in northern Denmark is 40 meters high and moves more than 15 meters every year. By introducing a solid structure on the site, the fast movement of the sand dune is emphasised and thereby our view of time and space.Through intuitively building models with varied openings and densities I investigated how architectural elements react with sand. From these experiments a series of spatial features and effects were found, generated from the meeting with the sand.The Sand Catcher is a solid and permanent structure. The sand is the liquid element that generates new spaces, circulations and experiences.

Narratives about UFO:s and extraterrestrials can be regarded as part of an everyday religiosity, yet the issue has been poorly studied outside an American context, within the discipline of Religious Studies. In this paper, I therefore seek knowledge about the further development of these narratives within the Swedish UFO-movement from the 1960?s until today. Influenced by social anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss´ discussion about mythems as the smallest components of a myth, I argue that the stories which emerge within the Swedish context differ from the American ones. This difference consists of both loss of certain mythemes and the addition of others to this mythic complex.

Denna uppsats handlar om offentliga rum, med inriktning på fysiska offentliga platser i stadsmiljö, vem och vad som får finnas och synas där, med koppling till växtanvändande av stadens invånare. Vi tar upp teorier om offentligheten av bland annat Jürgen Habermas, Henri Lefebvre, Claude Lefort, Michel Foucault, Nancy Fraser, Don Mitchell och Margaret Crawford. Detta görs främst genom Catharina Gabrielssons och Lina Olssons arbeten, men också genom ett flertal andra studier på området. Vi tar upp sju olika exempel på hur stadens invånare gör avtryck och utrycker sig med växter som material på den offentliga platsen i staden. Vidare reflekterar vi över och resonerar kring de teorier om offentliga rum vi i uppsatsen tar upp.

Carl Gustav Jung started to write his Black books, in which he saw himself analyzing unconscious fantasies, during the same time that he leaved the psychoanalytical movement and broke off his personal relations with Sigmund Freud. This thesis sees the interpretation of these books through a wider contextualization. The purpose is to contribute to the understanding of the breakup between the two. The therapeutic work will be highlighted where the black books will be seen through the lens of three of Jung?s more known patients as well as through the interest in mythology and fantasy that Jung showed during this time.

The Disney princess line includes nine films, in our study we have extended this line to include the latest three films from Walt Disney Pictures that follow the same pattern. These films are Tangled (2010), Brave (2012) and Frozen (2013). We have conducted our study using the same method used by England, Descartes and Collier-Meeks (2011) in their study of the first nine films, starting with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs produced in 1937 to Princess and the Frog from 2009. A quantitative study was executed where we focused on gender role portrayal, the main characters behavioral characteristics and performed rescues. We applied the following theories to our result; the Social Constructivism, Laura Mulvey?s theory of the Male Gaze, Michel Foucault?s theory of power and discourse, intersectionality and Claude E.

Tidigare forskning har ägnat sig åt att försöka förklara det sjunkande barnafödandet i Europa. En av dessa forskare, Richard Easterlin, har format en hypotes där han menar att förklaringen ligger i ett samband mellan kohortstorlek och fruktsamhet. En annan forskare, Jean-Claude Chesnais, har på senare tid testat denna hypotes på sambandet mellan relativ kohortstorlek och nettoreproduktionstal på 18 länder i världen under åren 1930 till 1980 och kommit fram till att detta samband inte existerar under denna tidsperiod i dessa länder. Vi har, i vår undersökning, gjort en fortsättning på Chesnais studie genom att testa sambandet mellan relativ kohortstorlek och summerad fruktsamhet i åtta Europeiska länder mellan 1980 och 2005. Resultatet blev det samma som Chesnais, det vill säga att det inte finns något synligt samband mellan dessa två faktorer.

This essay consists of a heuristic analysis of referents in the Swedish educational act, leaning on the methodological guidelines of discourse analysis. The overall aim of the essay has been to analyse in what way language in the educational act works as guidelines and law in relation to teachers? work. To correspond to this aim an openly structured questionnaire has been used, providing an empirical view of how teachers understand certain words, or referents, in the educational act. This empirical data has then been shaped to a spectrum view of the definitions of the referents showing a number of deductable facts, including the significance of the apparent use of institutional and professional language, which then have been viewed from two theoretical perspectives.

Snow White is one of the most popular fairytales to our time. There has been much research on the subject. `Lips red as blood- a structural analysis of Christian symbols´ in Walt Disneys and Rupert Sanders versions of Snow White` by Emma Svanström aims not to give a final answer to how Snow White should be interpreted. But rather the objective is to examine two versions in the search for any possible Christian influences and changes in such over time. The two versions are Walt Disney?s Snow white and the seven dwarfs and Rupert Sanders Snow White and the huntsman.

My purpose with this thesis has been tostudy the intersection between Landscapearchitecture and Land Art. They both relateto the landscape in some way whetherit is to the urban landscape or thenatural landscape.What tangent points are there betweenthese two subjects, and can you learnsomething of the artists approach to thelandscape?Land Art is an art movement that began inthe late 60?s, what links are there to thecurrent landscape?Last summer, I travelled around the U.S.for a month and visited the three classicLand Art projects. Lightning Field in NewMexico, by Walter De Maria, Sun Tunnels inUtah, by Nancy Holt and the Spiral Jetty,also in Utah, by Robert Smithson.The sites where visited from half a day upto 24 hours and was described and analyzedwith text and photographs.To visit these sites has been crucial formy thesis and will affect my future workas a landscape architect. The use of themethod has been a thought of mine for along time, particularly to analyze ordescribe a landscape with images.
