Musik och Film : Ett möte mellan två konstformer i Stanley Kubricks ?2001 ? a Space Odyssey? och Woody Allens ?Manhattan?
Filmmusic is often composed specially for a film. When analyzing film-music it seems very common to study the function of the music in a narrative context in order to see how it cooperates or relates to this narration. In the present thesis I am investigating the interaction between film and music as two ingredients on an equal level. In short: what happens when a filmmaker chooses music that has already been composed for another occasion, even in another time and a different cultural context? My aim is twofold: first to examine current film analytic strategies, secondly to find new ways of comprehend pre-composed music in relation to its new setting in a film.
Den gudomliggjorda människan : En analys av E.W. Kenyons lära om tro och perfekt hälsa
This essay analyzes the doctrines of the revival preacher E.W. Kenyon (1867-1948), such as perfect health, faith and positive thinking. Two of his late works from 1941 and 1942 is analyzed and contextualized referring to the contemporary New Thought movement, Christian revival movements and religious pragmatism in America during the late 19th century continued into the 20th century. Kenyon?s anthropology, his soteriology and epistemology is showed to be pneumocentric in a way that can be compared with the New Thought movement, but also has connections to Christian revival theology and Christian mysticism.
Min musikaliska va?g och en konsert
Den här uppsatsen handlar om att ta bilder/fotografera i kontexterna Instagram och Fotografisk bild i gymnasieskolan och bygger på en fallstudie med några gymnasieungdomar. Syftet med undersökningen är att få större förståelse för hur ungdomar tänker när de publicerar bilder på Instagram och när de löser uppgifter i skolan. Skiljer sig förhållningssätt åt och hur resonerar ungdomarna kring det? I skolan finns mål och betygskriterier, hur förhåller ungdomarna sig till dem och vad gör dessa med hur de löser uppgifter? På Instagram finns inte skrivna regler så som i skolan, men finns det oskrivna regler som kan identifieras som riktlinjer för vad som anses vara rimligt handlande? Hur förhåller sig ungdomarna till dem när de publicerar bilder på Instagram? Ett syfte med undersökningen är också att synliggöra lärande utanför skolan och att ta till vara på kunskaper som ungdomar skapar i interaktion med andra.Den gestaltande delen i mitt examensarbete är inspirerad av ungdomarnas reflektioner kring seende i olika kontexter och deras beskrivning av hur vissa skriver ?hashtags? så att det blir lite som en melodi. På vårutställningen bad jag besökare använda hashtagen #perspektivpåkonstfack och hjälpa mig fylla en vägg med bilder.
Naturens lockelse : en studie av dubbelhet i Karin Broos bildvärld
The aim of the study has been to examine the duality that I seemed to find in Karin Broos works, primarily on the basis of her renditions of nature. The objective is to study the duality on various plans and to examine which traces of Intertextuality that may exist.In the study of the duality I have taken note of how nature is presented in terms of style and form, as well as that I have seeked cultural references pictorial and symbolic. I have also examined the images with reference to Intertextuality. The following questions has been applied during the work: How is nature produced in the paintings? What place occupies nature in relation to the people, in the works? What is being communicated by nature's participation in the works?As a method, and as a tool for analysis and interpretation of selected works, I have chosen to use Panofskys iconological interpretative method. As a guide to seek relations of intertextuality the theories of Julia Kristeva has been useful, which includes thoughts that new images are created or re-created in relation to other images all the time and in new contexts.As a result of the study I have found some kind of expression of balance, though it did not seemed to look that way from the beginning.
Staten och legosoldaten : En kortfattad studie i förhållandet mellan stat och legosoldat från 1500-talet till våra dagar
[utdrag] Allt sedan krigets första dagar har det funnits de som sett det organiserade dödandet som ett sätt att tillförskansa sig personlig rikedom.De har slagits för nationella arméer, de har slagit för gerillagrupper, i uppror, i kriminella uppgörelser och på internationella uppdrag. Deras roll och anseende har skiftat med tiden. Med ett samlingsnamn har vi valt att kalla dem legosoldater.Legosoldatens roll i oroshärdar har på den senaste tiden aktualiserats med de så kallade Private Military Corporations eller PMCs.Staten har så länge den funnits försökt hävda sitt våldsmonopol med blandad framgång. Alltsedan de moderna staterna började sin formering i mitten av 1600-talet har militariseringen allt mer knutits till statsmakten.Vilket är förhållandet mellan stat, krig och organiserat våld? Kan studiet av historien om dessa soldater hjälpa oss att förstå dagens PMC och kan vi i så fall sia om dess framtid?.
Contemporary Challenges of Public Pension Systems and Their Effects on Pension Reform Choices in European and Candidate countries
The process of European Integration and creation of the single market revealed many questions and boundaries on the development and improvement of the European Social Policy. Pension?s sustainability has become the priority issue especially during the EU enlargement processes. Different policy instruments and institutions available to governments of Member States in realization of social objectives resulted in a growing diversity of pension polices which produced different combinations of public and private provisions - ?private-public hybrids? , with the state exercising different degrees of influence in their development.
Historiebruk i Japan : skapandet av ett dominerande kulturellt minne rörande krigsbrott under andra världskriget: Nanjingmassakern och Comfort Women
The aim of this study has been to, through a couple of chosen theories, examine in what way Japan as a nation can be said to have dealt with its dark past - concerning their crimes of war just before and during World War II. To do so, I have placed two chosen war crimes, namely the Nanjing Massacre and the matter of the Comfort Women, in the context of remembrance and commemorating of war, through different kinds of aspects. Those aspects are: the textbook conflict, official apologies, ruthless/unnecessary comments, and visits and commemorations at the Yasukuni shrine.I have found during this study that the nation of Japan has not been able to generate a broadly accepted dominant cultural memory of the war. Henceforth a couple of rival cultural memories are competing and becoming an issue of national division rather than national unity. I have come to the knowledge that there are both domestic and international political factors at play, resulting in this division..
Den tigrerade svenskheten : konstruktionen av en ?svensk? identitet i Jonas Hassen Khemiris roman Montecore: En unik tiger
This paper is about the construction of a ?Swedish? identity in the novel Montecore: en unik tiger by Jonas Hassen Khemiri (translated in English to Montecore: the silence of the tiger). In the paper I start by, after a short introduction, introducing the theoretical background against which the novel will be analyzed. The main focus is postcolonial theories with Edward Saids work about making ?the Other? as a base.
Stellectric : En studie om modernistiskt blivande i utvalda dikter av Mina Loy
My essay is an examination of the poet Mina Loy and two poems that are essential in her authorship, these poems also represents a thematic entrance to Loys life and literary concepts. On the basis of Gunnar Harding preface and translation of selected poems from the collection Lunar Baedeker, I have chosen to look further at the poems Lunar Baedeker and Songs to Joanne, poems that accommodate contexts of an esthetical and linguistic complexion.Using terminology from the philosopher Gilles Deleuze as method for analysis, enabling an examination which proceeds from the concepts of nomadism, deterritorialization and line of flight. In the consideration of Loys modernistic and woman ?becoming, a situational and relational context is introduced which includes references to feminism, cosmopolitism, futurism, modernism, Dadaism as well as to acquaintances of Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, F.T. Marinetti and Isadora Duncan.
"Awful apprehension" och "sickening realization" : Om begreppen "terror" och "horror" i den gotiska litteraturen
Gothic literature has a tradition of dealing with dark subjects, themes and motifs, as well as depicting fear in different shapes and forms. Dani Cavallaro describes dark fiction in terms of the "aesthetic of the unwelcome". The philosopher Edmund Burke separates the beautiful from the sublime and writes that everything that is capable of producing a terror of pain and death is a source of the sublime. In her essay "On the Supernatural in Poetry", Ann Radcliffe draws a clear line between the concepts of terror and horror and distinguished them as fundamentally different. In this essay, I define the terms horror and terror by following up the research surrounding Radcliffes statement.

Rättsäkerheten vid omhändertaganden av barn på 1950 - 1960 - talet : Studier av socialarbetarnas dokumenterade arbete
The main purpose of this study is to examine and gain increased knowledge concerning the legal security of children taken into protective care. The purpose is also to enable contemporary social workers to reflect around phenomena in today´s social work, among other things how investigations are carried out surrounding children taken into protective care thought this historical study. To find out how social workers dealt with caretakings I have chosen to examine the personel files that the social workers compiled for each child and also interview a man who worked as a social worker at the time of the investigation. The paper is divided into two part studies were the first one studies legal security through Mattsson´s (2002) further development of KjÆnstad?s way to analyse legal security, namely through investigating the clarity of the law, procedural rules and the comtetenay of the social workers.
Samspel : Ledarskap
De tekniska lösningarna inom spelgrafik har utvecklats till den grad att de numera kan förmedla sociala och känslomässiga budskap till spelaren genom relativt realistisk grafik och animation (Fiorito, 2000). Nästan alla spel görs i färg, vilket gör färg till en ständigt närvarande faktor i spelet och spelkaraktärers uttryck. Färg kan ge psykologiska associationer, till exempel att blått kan förstärka intrycket av lugn, att rött kan associeras till ilska och grönt med harmoni och natur (Panton, 1997). Detta gör att färg kan ses som ett verktyg som bland annat kan förmedla information om en spelkaraktär till spelaren. Genom att använda färgers associationsfaktorer inom generella färgkodningssystem kan en spelutvecklare ge spelaren ett intryck av en spelkaraktär innan spelaren hunnit interagera med den.
Hur lär vi oss av misstag? - En undersökning av inlärningsprocessen i svensk hälso- och sjukvård
In scientific investigations on how organizations can learn from their mistakes the perspective is usually that of the social engineer; the object is to prevent human errors through modeling the system in a certain way. The aim of this paper is to explore the learning process from a different standpoint than those usually applied in organizational learning and error theory. By studying the learning process in Swedish health care I seek to discover how theoretical presumptions affect the outcome in terms of what we actually learn. The theoretical framework draws on two major discussions in contemporary political science; the question of structure and agency and the question of whether to focus on formal or informal structures when explaining organizational behavior.The investigation shows that Swedish health care tend to understand human errors as a result of formal organizational structure. Such a view leads to insufficient explanations to why errors occur but is useful in producing preventative measures.
