Vi ville undersöka några svenska gymnasielärare i historias attityder till att låta sina elever arbeta kontrafaktiskt. Vilka svårigheter de ser med arbetet, hur de arbetar eller kan tänka sig att arbeta med det och om de såg några specifika för- eller nackdelar jämfört med mer traditionell undervisning? För att ta reda på detta utförde vi kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma lärare. Vi hörde inte av oss på förhand om huruvida de arbetat kontrafaktiskt tidigare och vi väntade oss en viss skepsis mot arbetssättet. Men vad vi fann var att även om inte alla medvetet arbetat med det så var alla insatta i, och positiva till, metoden.

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 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.

Titel: Ensam, vacker och lite avklädd ? en undersökning av kvinnligt och manligt i romantiska komedier och actionfilmerFörfattare: Aila Stefansdotter-Franck och Ida ÅhlénKurs, termin och år: Vetenskaplig rapport C, HT 2013Antal ord i uppsatsen: 20 457Problemformulering och syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ofta och hur kvinnor respektive män gestaltas i de fyra actionfilmer och fyra romantiska komedier som setts av flest personer på svenska biografer under 2013Metod och material: Metodtriangulering med kvantitativ och kvalitativ innehållsanalys, av ett strukturerat urval bland de filmer som setts mest på bio i Sverige under 2013.Huvudresultat: Könsfördelningen är mer ojämn i actionfilmerna ? kvinnorna utgör 21 procent av karaktärerna, männen 79 procent ? än i de romantiska komedierna, där fördelningen är 45 kvinnor och 55 män. Kvinnorna är färre än männen i alla filmer utom en, samma film är även den enda film där en kvinna är den första karaktären att tala. Även om könsfördelningen är relativt jämställd gestaltas kvinnor med stereotypt i romantiska komedier. Männen gestaltas mer stereotypt i actionfilmer, men där utgör kvinnorna en väldigt liten del av karaktärerna ? i ett fall endast en kvinna bland 29 män.

Uppsatsen analyserar hur främlingskap framställs i tre av Roberto Rossellinis filmer, ?Stromboli?, ?Europa ´51? och ?Viaggio in Italia?. Utgångspunkten är sociologi med inriktning på främlingskap där syftet är att avtäcka hur främlingen i varje film skildras, vad som utgör främlingskapet, om det löses och i så fall hur.  I min analys har jag tillämpat tematisk och narrativ analys av filmerna, vilka ställts i relation till uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter utifrån Georg Simmel, Zygmunt Bauman, Julia Kristeva och Janet Wolff.Studien visar hur främlingskapets olika aspekter berörs och hanteras i filmerna. Klass, kultur och kön är tre avgörande och genomgående faktorer som frambringar främlingskap. Inledningsvis är huvudkaraktärerna en del av främlingskapet, men en medvetenhet väcks och en transformering av dem och deras relationer till de andra börjar.

I den här uppsatsen diskuteras processen att utveckla digitala karaktärer för film, från att ta fram en design i 2D, till att översätta den på ett logiskt och effektivt sätt till en 3Dmodell..

Den här rapporten är ett resultat av ett examensarbete på 30 högskolepoäng, vid Linköpings Universitet. Rapporten behandlar projektmodeller som kan appliceras på projekt vars syfte är att ta fram informationsmaterial för industriverksamhet. Idén till arbetet väcktes då SSAB beställde en informationsfilm som de skulle kunna använda vid upphandling med nya leverantörer. Filmen skulle belysa hur deras produkter ska hanteras. Filmprojektet var mycket omfattande och för att kunna utföra det med ett tillfredsställande resultat krävdes det att arbetet strukturerades upp ordentligt.

This study is done in Växjö as a region. Furthermore we also made interviews with upper secondary teachers and forms with upper secondary students.

The Swedish working-class author Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990) wrote a collection of one hundred short stories between the years 1968-1972. His other productions, generally speaking, have partially different social reform purposes, but, according to himself, these short stories were written with the intention to be totally free of tendencies (even though he himself doubted that he succeeded with this).During the same period that these short stories were published, the Swedish social democrats were under the challenge of radical movements that, mainly on the radical left?s ideological foundation, had a relatively strong influence in Sweden, among other countries, from the mid 1960?s to the late 1970?s. Since Lo-Johansson mainly seemed to have supported the politics of the social democrats, the purpose of the investigation in this thesis has been to see if he ? in the three short stories: Vikingakärlek (1970), Rikslögnaren (1971) and Ansgars resa till Sverige (1972) ? is conveying an ideological use of history and basic political values that were used by the social democratic party during this time period.

The purpose of this paper is to study how the wooded hay meadow of the forest district of northeastern Scania is preserved today, and what local history it has, to thereby achieve a better understanding of the dynamics of the landscape and the complex of problems involved in keeping a historical element of the cultural landscape alive. To accomplish this, literature concerning the subject has been studied, experts have been consulted and an example, the old farm Sporrakulla in Östra Göinge municipality, has been studied. The paper states that the wooded hay meadow constitutes an important part of the history of northeastern Scania, where it provided leaf fodder and hay for the farmers keeping cattle. Today, however, only a few wooded hay meadows remain. One of these is the studied example at Sporrakulla, where juridical protection like Natura 2000 and financial support of maintenance like miljöersättningar make sure that the wooded hay meadow will remain.

The aim of this study is to examine the image of Judas Iscariot in popular culture with the help of two movies, The Last Temptation of Christ and Son of God. This study is based on a film analysis where a characterization is in focus. The method has also chosen to include intertextuality. This is because it is relevant to show how writers and filmmakers used the previous materials to create their own versions. Survey theory was based on a mediatisation-theory.
