The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the ideas about functions that public libraries have in the local society. We have used the method idea analysis on four municipal library plans, to find out which ideas about library functions that frequented each plan, and what similarities and differences there were between the ideas about functions in each plan. As a theoretic base, we have used a theory about three dynamic spheres in modern society: the state market and civil society, and examined how these three spheres influence and control the library functions. We have extracted six different ideas about library functions: educational, social, economical, entertaining, serving and democratic functions. The most dominating ideas in this study are ideas that the public library should be an educating and formative institution.

Uppsatsen har haft för avsikt att ge ett bidrag till forskningen om nutida svensk dramatik genom attapplicera Bertholt Brechts teaterteori kring den episka teatern och distanseringsbegreppet på dramat?Tant Blomma? av Kristina Lugn. Många av de sätt och stilmedel som Brecht kallade fördistanseringar finns att upptäcka i denna text. Bland annat använder sig Lugn av sång, dans, ettmånga gånger lyriskt och orealistiskt språk, metafiktion och citat på ett sätt som fjärmar publikenfrån illusionen om att det är verkligt liv som gestaltas på scenen. Dessutom finns det drag ireplikerna som måste sägas vara distanserande, bland annat genom att rollen kommenterar sig självi tredje person.Min slutsats är då att min analys av ?Tant Blomma? visar att det finns många stildrag somskulle kunna verka distanserande, och det finns stöd för ett episkt spelsätt i replikerna.
