The aim of this essay is to investigate to which extent the novel Kvinnor och ÀppeltrÀd by Moa Martinson can be classified as a polyphonic novel. The concept polyphony was established in literary theory by the Russian language theorist and literary critic Michail Bachtin in 1929, in his book Problems of Dostoevsky?s poetics. In order to understand and comprehend the concept of polyphony I have used an interpretation due to the literature scholar Robyn McCallum. She notes that the characters in a polyphonic novel function as focalizers.

Den hÀr uppsatsen undersöker Py Sörmans roman Aloë utifrÄn begreppet derealisering. Derealisering, menar uppsatsförfattaren, utgör en medvetenhet om problem gÀllande representationen av realitet som Àr central för postmodernismen. Denna medvetenhet aktualiserar frÄgestÀllningar gÀllande förhÄllandet mellan narrativitet och realitet, frÄgestÀllningar som Àr nÀrvarande i den moderna och postmoderna romanen. Aloës Àmne och narrativitet, argumenterar uppsatsen, belyser dessa frÄgestÀllningar. Uppsatsförfattaren strÀvar efter att bevisa detta genom att analysera romanen med hjÀlp av begrepp frÄn narrativ teori.

The paper directs to introduce the turkish literary tradition to an fairly unknown european audience, as well as to present a turkish poet called Orhan Veli. Since there is hardly any literature written within this subject in either swedish or english I have come to the conclusion that the europeans have not yet been subjected to a discussion of this nature. For this reason my main task has been to gather and compose all that has already been written within this matter. I have chosen not to dig deep into such an unexploared subject, but rather offer different types of entries with which further research can be pursued and built upon.The early literature in Turkey consisted mostly of imitations of the well established arabic- and persian traditions. Because of that the turkisk modernism came, in comparison to the rest of Europe, relatively late.

This master thesis takes its point of departure in the conflicting worldviews of modernism and post-modernism. As traditional segmentation theory springs from the modernist worldview, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of the complexity regarding market segmentation for lifestyle brands in contemporary society, where the consumer is often claimed to be post-modern. The research was conducted in Malmö and Lund and involved 25 Converse users as respondents. The methods used in this thesis starts with observations as a sampling technique in order to locate the respondents. Short interviews and photo documentation followed.

Feberboken, written by Stina Aronson and published in 1931, is a fragmentary meta literary autobiographical work told and written by the pseudonymous female author Mimmi Palm. The novel tells about a literary-erotic passion causing female subordination, fever and sick-ness. It balances between biography and fiction and consistently decontructs itself through its meta literary prespective. This essay finds that the structure of the novel and its thematical confusion of literature and erotique, fiction and reality, woman and man, derives from a struggle for definitions. Thus, the essay attempts to a close reading focusing on ambivalence and resistance and in order to determine the nature of the fever, it tries to analyze Feberboken in the light of early Swedish literary modernism.

My wish was to designtufted ?floor jewelleries? and cushions.I made a base for my project during a design project in autumn 2004.

Beyond the binary borders of sex -A LITTERATURE STUDY ABOUT TRANSGENDER THEORY AND ITS POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO A SOCIAL WORK CONTEXT. GERGANA TOSEVA KARIN SELIN A thesis in Social work studies (15 credits) at Malmö University, HÀlsa och SamhÀlle 2012. The discussion about sex and gender is always prominent in a social work context. Our purpose and questions are hence based on the discussion on transgender theory and the way of thinking about the non-binary, and how it relates to the nearby theories. The method of the essay consists of a semi systematic literature overview with the focus on discussing transgender theory in relation to other theories and perspectives, such as modernism, post modernism, feminism and queer theory. We answer the following questions: 1. Is it possible to go beyond or exceed the binary of sex and if so, how do we see it in the material we examined? 2. In what way are the existing theories of sex / gender in the binary? 3. Can one featuring a female embodied subject be of assistance to transgender people's search for an embodied subject? We consider it possible to move beyond the binary by using ?fuzzy logic?(Nagoshi & Brzuzy 2010, Tauchert 2002) which is a way of staying in the binary but expanding the term and work in the grey areas instead.

I min uppsats har jag undersökt Kerstin Söderholms diktsamling Ord i natten, dels kontextuellt och dels ur ett queerperspektiv. Söderholms lyrik kan utan problem placeras in en modernistisk kontext. De modernistiska uttrycken Àr i sig intressanta att granska ur ett queerperspektiv. Den genomgÄende gemenskapsproblematiken yttrar sig pÄ ambivalenta vis i Ord i natten. TillstÄnd av nÀrhet förankras i en materiell diktvÀrld, medan avstÄnd frÄn gemenskapen kan kopplas till ett transcenderande tillstÄnd.

The Swedish retail business has been characterized by a small number of ruling distributors. These distributors have been affected negatively by the internationalization which has made it possible for international distributors to establish their stores in the Swedish market. These international distributors are focused on low price stores. Their establishment on the Swedish market has led to a decrease in market shares for the Swedish distributors, which has damaged their profitability. Another change that has affected the Swedish distributors is that the behavior and needs of the customers has changed.

Uppsatsen undersöker skildringen av den kvinnliga samkönade sexualiteten i Agnes von Krusenstjernas romanserie Fröknarna von Pahlen. Den utgÄr frÄn den queerteoretiska tanken att identiteter Àr uppbyggda pÄ motsatser och att heterosexualitet behöver homosexualitet för att definiera sig sjÀlv. SÄledes Àr homosexualitetens funktion att vara allt det som heterosexualiteten inte Àr. Det finns en diskrepans mellan samkönat begÀr och den homosexuella identiteten, och den homosexuella identitetens uppgift Àr att hÄlla den heterosexuella identiteten ren.Jag fokuserar den grÀns som Krusenstjerna drar mellan lÀrarinnan Bell von Wendens homosexuella identitet och hennes elev Angela von Pahlens samkönade begÀr, samt hur Angelas sexuella identitet, trots hennes samkönade begÀr, hÄlls ren genom skildringen av Bells homosexuella identitet.Den grÀns som dras mellan Bells homosexuella identitet och Angelas samkönade begÀr Àr emellertid inte rigid. DÀrför Àr det inte alltid tydligt nÀr Angelas samkönade relationer till Bell, Stanny Landborg och Agda af Sauss gÄr frÄn att vara vÀnskapsrelationer till att bli kÀrleksrelationer.

Det Àr inte ovanligt att viss rock- och annan populÀrmusik tillskrivs konstnÀrliga ambitioner, eller förses med epitet som "konstnÀrlig" och "konstmusikalisk". SÀllan utvecklas emellertid pÄ vilket sÀtt detta konstnÀrliga tar sig uttryck. Uppsatsens syfte Àr att musikanalytiskt undersöka vad som kan motivera formuleringarna och om de kan anses adekvata. Materialet för undersökningen Àr tre verk/lÄtar ur rockgenren, som beskrivits med ovanstÄende begrepp: Close to the Edge med gruppen Yes frÄn 1972, Sense of Doubt med David Bowie frÄn 1977 och Sleep med gruppen Godspeed You! Black Emperor frÄn 2000. Metoden Àr den auditiva musikanalysen, vilket innebÀr att analysen utgÄr frÄn ett aktivt lyssnande pÄ musikens förlopp.

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the ideological development of the former communist parties and the contemporary left-wing socialist parties of the Nordic countries. It is aimed at the two decades that have passed since the collaps of the Berlin wall and the parties at hand are; the Norwegian Sosialistisk Venstre, the Danish Socialistisk Folkeparti, the Swedish VĂ€nsterpartiet and the Finnish Vasemmistoliitto. Since the 1960ÂŽs these parties have undergone major ideological changes with reference to a widening of their political agenda to an inclusion of democratic ideals as well as the new ideologies of feminism and ecologism. Thus reforming them into modern left-wing socialist parties at different times. The main hypothesis is formulated from the idea that there must be a connection between the startingpoint of reformation and the degree of modernism/traditionalism they show today.
