An analysis in the work of Martin Kellermans Comic ?Rocky? of the interaction between the male and female characters and of how each of their gender are portrayed. We are going to find out if it is probable for young adults to be affected by any eventual gender-stereotypes that we can find in ?Rocky? or if ?Rocky? consolidates a stereotypical image of men and women that young adults might have developed through different media. We conduct this analys by first reading through random seleceted ?Rocky? books and present some of the Comic strips where men and women interact with each other or discuss the opposite sex..

This study has the purpose to reveal whether gender stereotypes are manifested or challenged in the children Comic Bamse - världens starkaste björn based on six different stories widespread over 40 years. The results will be studied in the light of the contemporary gender development in society and emanate from theories about power, discourse, representation, queer and gender. An eclectic analysis based on semiotics and critical discourse analysis will be the method to reveal the underlying gender perspective in Bamse. The conclusion of the study shows an ambiguous perspective in the Comic where both men and women occasionally are represented in a manifested as well as a challenged stereotypical role. In some of the stories the gender is erased and all characters are represented based on their individual attributes instead, meanwhile in some stories men are represented as active heroes while women are portrayed as passive nurturer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how homosexuality and homosexual adoptions are manifested in children's Comic "Bamse" and study the result in the light of a brief background about the western society and gay history. The study has a historical gender perspective and focus homosexuality primarily in modern times. Drawing on critical theory and semiotic analysis, the study shows how ideas and ideology surrounding same-sex relations and parenting are negotiated in the ?Bamse? Comic. 2010 was the year when the Bamse cartoon took a step into the gender debate and introduced two gay rabbits who adopted an infant.The study shows that despite the obvious intent to anchor homosexuality as normal and integrated in the society there are hidden ideologies that reveals homosexuality as abnormal and excluded.

This master's thesis deals with the interest in Comics among students at the social science programme in an upper secondary school. The history of Comics and the reading habits of Comics have also been examined. For the completion of this study 54 students, 19 boys and 35 girls, took part in a questionnaire. The results of this statistical survey shows that the department of Comics at Malmö city public library plays an insignificant role concerning the interest and reading of Comics for the students. The main readings of Comics for the students are in the daily paper, which resembles reading habits of adults.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the attitude towardsComics among librarians as well as their personal image ofthe overall attitude towards Comics among librarians and themanner in which the attitude of the librarians affects how theComics are treated in the library.I have performed this study with a qualitative approach andhave interviewed a total of five librarians working in twodifferent libraries.I have founded the theoretical base for my research in anumber of historical attitudes towards Comics and thencompared these attitudes towards the answers given in theinterviews as well as prior research found in three theseswritten by Magnus Johansson, Sarah Johansson and KarinEsaiasson.The results of the study is that traces of most of thehistorical attitudes can be found among all of the interviewedlibrarians but that none of them are harboring any negativeattitudes towards Comics themselves. On the other hand thestudy does imply that the image of the librarian who onlythinks that Comics are meant for children is still very muchalive in the collective subconscious of the librarians.The study also shows that while librarians of today tend tohave a neutral outlook in Comics the historically subpartreatment of Comic in the libraries and the subsequent lack ofacademic support on the subject have made it necessary forthe librarian in charge of the Comic-section to have apersonal interest/liking for Comics to be able to do a goodjob..

This study deals with the Adventure Comic Prince Valiant, written and designed by the Canadian artist Harold R. Foster. Focus is on the first two years of publication 1937-1938, where the hero is pictured in his Adolescence. This gives the title of the study: Youth. Earlier writings in the USA on this topic, have concentrated on the artist and less on analyses of the Comic itself.

My objective for this project was to create a short but thrilling 2D-animation intended as promotion for an online Comic book. The purpose of the project was to learn more about animation and graphics, to further my artistic skills and to learn how to work in Adobe After Effects. I also wanted to learn more about scheduling, project methods and how to handle stress. During the ten weeks of the project I have created the story, the storyboard, the character design, the backgrounds and the animation. The voice over was recorded with the help of a fellow student who also made the music and the sound effects.

Mitt arbetes syfte är att på kronologiskt och tematiskt vis presentera och analysera de olikasätt på vilka politiska åsikter och samhällsmässiga problem har presenterats och beartbetats i amerikanska serietidningar under tiden mellan 1950 och år 2000, samt att undersöka hur serietidningen i sig har utvecklats som medium under samma tidsperiod. Mitt arbete är först uppdelat i tidsperioder om tio år och sedan inom olika tematiska underrubriker som avser att behandla viktiga politiska eller branschrelaterade aspekter.Den tidigare forskningen jag tagit del av är uteslutande engelskspråkig och innefattar bl.a Bradford W. Wrights Comic Book Nation, Paul Lopes Demanding Respect och Fredrik Strömbergs Comic Art Propaganda som alla behandlar den amerikanska serietidningens utveckling och delvis deras politiska innehåll.De källor jag använt mig av är en hel uppsjö avamerikanska seriepublikationer från de tre största förlagen i USA, Marvel Comics, DC Comics och Image Comics med inledande fokus på de två förstnämnda. Jag kommer i mitt arbete fram till att serietidningarna gått från att vara ett politiskt drivetmedie under 50-talet, till att vara ett som lägger mer fokus på de enskilda individerna och karaktärsutveckling.Utvecklingen har också medfört att serietidningarna överlag blivit alltmörkare och hårdare, inte nödvändigtvis med ett större fokus på våld, men i alla fall en större acceptans för det våldsamma. 50-talet har fokus på den allmäna kommunistskräcken och den produktionskod som begränsade och censurerade serietidningarnas innehåll.

Inspired by how to sketch a light cone from a flashlight in a Comic I wanted to create an armature carried only by its own light cone. To manage this challenge I sketched in an architectural and sculptural way, where I chose to ignore the function of the lamp as long as possible.As a result I developed an armature with a stunning shape, with an illusion that it was carried by its own light cone. It could be hanged on a wall, placed on a table, pushed against a ceiling or standing on the floor.Depending of its size the light cone from the light source lightens up the surface and draws attention to the otherwise forgotten wallpaper or the undisposed statue in the darkness of the city..

The translation of culture-specific words and expressions as well as how to fully transmit the semantics and pragmatics of a text when translating are two things that often poses problems and challenges for translators. The strategies among which one can choose are many and the translation is more or less bound to lose something along the way. In this present essay, the Swedish Comic album Prins Charles ka?nsla (2010) by Liv Stro?mquist and its French translation Les sentiments du Prince Charles (2012) have been studied. With the help of existing translation strategies, what is examined is initially what choices the translators have made and how this affects the French text.

Vårt arbete är ett utvecklingsarbete som vi genomfört i två förskoleklasser. I en tidigare kurs i vår utbildning kom vi i kontakt med två metoder "sociala berättelser och seriesamtal" som används inom neuropsykiatrin till personer med Autism,Asbergers syndrom, AD/HD 0sv. Det är skrivna och ritade små berättelser som förklarar både barnets beteende samt hur andra tänker och känner. Metoderna används för att arbeta bort ett oönskat beteende eller träna barnet i olika sociala sammanhang. Det visuella stödet i berättelserna tydliggör händelser och på så sätt skapar meningsfulla sammanhang för barnet.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to study how the Comics have been evaluated and debated in the Swedish library press from 1960 to 1999. Have they been seen as something good or something bad? What arguments have been put forward against them or in their defense? What kinds of development can be seen over time? The point of doing this, is of course that evaluation always plays a crucial part in library work. By studying how a "new" medium or art form has been evaluated in the past, we can hopefully gain a greater understanding of how today?s newcomers should best be treated.
