Sarah Kane?s first play Blasted (1995) has often been read in a normative and biographical way by critics, authors and previous researchers. This essay makes a supplementary close reading of Blasted from gender and genealogical perspectives and utilizes theoretical works by Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray and Michel Foucault. My study makes clear that the characters different positions in language and talk create and maintain a power imbalance between them. Efforts to change and develop one?s individual position in language and talk are being made throughout the play since it is the only way to bring about a change in the social power structure.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka och jämföra några lärares och elevers syn på hur film kan användas inom gymnasieskolans svenskundervisning. För att uppnå syftet ställs tre frågor: Hur resonerar några lärare respektive elever kring val av film och det utrymme arbetet med film tar? Vilken funktion tycker de att film bör ha i svenskundervisningen? Vilken inlärningspotential ser lärarna respektive eleverna i arbete med film? Kvalitativa intervjuer med tre lärare och två elever har gjorts. Dessa har spelats in på diktafon och sedan transkriberats. Det transkriberade materialet har därefter analyserats utifrån undersökningens frågeställningar.

How schools handles threat and violence among pupils could have an effect on the surrounding world, since schools reflect society at large. This study attempts to explore how this is handled within two schools, one secondary school and one upper secondary school. How do the schools work with violence and threats amongst pupils? Who is responsible for what? Is this work based on school guidelines? Why/why not? The theoretical starting-points have been Lundquists implementation-based control-model and an organizational point-of-view using theories about open and closed systems, primarily Meyer and Rowans neo-institutionalism. To gain validity, the study has been carried out by way of triangulation, i.e.

The purpose of this essay is to study two film adaptations of the original Planet of the Apes novel and see what kind of relationship the two adaptations have with each other. The main question is if the secondary film adaptation is restricted by the primary and if the relationships between these two are as two separate adaptations or as a remake of an adaptation. What the results of the study show is that the secondary adaptation can not be seen as a remake even though it gets some of its inspiration from both the original story as well as the primary adaptation. The secondary adaptation is, however, restricted in what it can adapt due to the primary adaptation having the first pick, at least if the secondary adaptation wishes to be a whole new adaptation and not a remake of the primary. The study shows also that the fidelity in the secondary adaptation is not necessarily to either the original or the primary but to the knowledge the audience has about the Planet of the Apes universe which they have gathered from all of the important versions of the story.

The aim of this thesis is to compare two different classification schemes with each other and see what the differences and similarities are when classifying literature concerning film and television. One of the schemes is of general kind, Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek (SAB) and the other is a special system, FIAF Classification scheme for literature on film and television. The focus of the examination is on comparing the structure, contents and division of firstly the main classes and secondly on comparing the notation and the auxiliary tables in the schemes. The theoretical framework of the comparison is based upon theory of classification but the conclusions drawn are though mostly of a more subjective character. In addition to the comparison itself interviews have been made with four libraries, two with experiences of SAB and two with experiences of FIAF.

Finns det skillnader i hur vi upplever auditiva dramer gentemot hur vi upplever film? Med hjälp av transporteringsteori och radiodramats historia undersöker detta examensarbete hur vi upplever auditiva dramer gentemot film. En historia har framställts som ett auditivt drama och som ett audiovisuellt drama och ett tidigare känt verk även det skapat både som auditivt drama och audiovisuellt drama har använts för att låta 26 respondenter uppleva två historier i två olika medier. Detta för att se om det finns skillnader i hur transporterade åhörare/åskådare blir av berättelser berättade genom olika medier.Undersökningens resultat pekar mot att skillnader i transport är små.En slutsats man kan dra av detta är att auditiva dramer kan användas mer i marknadsföringssyften, ?hype?-skapande och franchising av spel, film och serier.

The Syllabus for Swedish Language and Literature for Elementary School includes literatureand multimodal texts, such as web texts.

It also examines how these medias are usedin School according to the pupils. The theoretical basis for this research is based onhermeneutic phenomenology and the concept of life-worlds.

In this paper, I have examined if and how Saul Bass adapts his title sequences to the respective film in the matter of genre, plot, milieu, feeling and appearance. Saul Bass was really a graphic artist who has made himself a long career in film production, foremost as a creator of title sequences. Of all the films Bass has created title sequences to, I?ve chosen six films, whose title sequences I analyse more thoroughly. I do this to point out the differences between them and thus also show how Bass adapt them to the individual work.

Produktplacering utvecklades på 1920-talet inom amerikansk film och huvudsyftet då handlade inte om att tjäna pengar. Produkterna lånades på den tiden bara ut till skådespelarna för användning. Senare upptäckte företagen styrkan att koppla samman produkten med skådespelarna och produktplacering började att användas som ett promotionverktyg. Inte förrän på 1980-talet började företag betala filmbolag för att få placera sina produkter i filmer. Produktplacering används för att demonstrera hur produkten används, öka medvetenheten om ett varumärke och för att identifiera en livsstil på ett naturligt sätt.

Girls in honour cultures have been the subject of many studies and are often debated in the media. The purpose with this study was to focus on boys in honour cultures. I wanted to understand the situation of boys in honour cultures with a perspective of the rights of children. My central questions were: How is it to be a boy in honour cultures? Are boys in honour cultures exposed? How are they exposed? My study was a qualitative study in which I interviewed four professionals who meet boys in honour cultures in their work.

The main purpose of this thesis is to examine the process of selecting films at Bibliotekstjänst and at Swedish public libraries. The tools that have been used for analysing and interpreting the results from the interviews and the questionnaire are theory-based models describing the selection process concerning film and Carl Gustav Johannsen?s quality definitions. The result of the investigation shows that Bibliotekstjänst doesn?t really work with any quality definitions in their selection process.

Ystad har under lång tid varit en populär turistdestination för svenska och utländska besökare. Staden med dess omnejd har genom den fina miljön och dess historiska byggnader goda förutsättningar att attrahera turister till regionen. Efter filmatiseringarna av Henning Mankells romaner om kriminalkommissarie Kurt Wallander, som utspelas i Ystad, har antalet turister ökat än mer till regionen. Förhållandet mellan böcker och filmer är en väsentlig del av den turism som uppstår efter en berättelse om en fiktiv karaktär i en existerande miljö. Vi ville följaktligen undersöka film- litteraturturism och dess påverkan på en plats.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how acquisition of film for children and young adults in public libraries is carried out. The aim is to investigate why the librarians think a library should have film, if the librarians are bound by acquisition policies and where they retrieve information about films. We also want to know where the films are bought, how the distributors are perceived and how the librarians see their own sphere of competence. The thesis is a qualitative study and is based on interviews with children?s librarians in six public libraries.

Informationssamhället har blivit allt större och har tagit över en del av skolans bildningsmonopol. Ungdomarnas medievanor bör tas på allvar och integreras i skolvärlden för att de ska kunna hantera medieflödet på ett bra sätt. Tack vare att film och TV är något som unga människor är vana användare av är det ett tacksamt medium att arbeta med i svenskämnet. Syftet med vår studie är att ta reda på om lärare på gymnasiet använder sig av film i svenskundervisningen och i så fall på vilket sätt de gör det och hur momentet mottages av eleverna. Vi har valt intervjuer och observationer för vår uppsats.

This degree project documents the meeting of four high-school students with working life before and during the practical training period, which is a mandatory part of the Swedish media curriculum. We looked into practical training, which we qualify as the crossroads between school and working life, from a student?s perspective. We chose to approach the problem theoretically via hermeneutics and we used the case study method for our field research. The foundation of our pre-understanding of the media curriculum?s practical training period lays on previously published research, the study of specialist literature, own experience gained during practical training and teaching experience at high-schools as well as a pre-study we carried out.
