This essay is dealing with the difficulties of cataloging and classifying anonymi and other kinds of literature without the components which have set the norm for bibliographic cataloging, i.e. a defined author, a standardized title etc. A typical example of this kind of literature is folklore and folktales, which are dealt with thoroughly here. The character of and the society's historical view upon the folk literature, as literature considered, are being described, as is the evolution of rules for cataloging in general. The folk literature is mostly systematized after a different pattern from other literature, since bibliographical facts are often missing.

Det är vanligt att folk som kommer till ett nytt land känner utanförskap, att de är i diaspora. Dock är det lika trivialt att drabbas av liknande känsla av exkludering när de besöker hemlandet. Men vad beror detta på? Syftet med föreliggande studie är främst att fånga kärnan i varför folk ifrån Bosnien-Hercegovina känner sig som diasporamedlemmar när de återvänder hem..

Jag har vävt porträtt ett tag nu. Jag har tyckt om det sällskapliga i det. Umgänget med bilden av ett ansikte. Men var det egentligen bilden jag ville umgås med? Var det inte personen? Kanske kunde jag använda bilden för att komma personen nära? Jag ville ta det ett sällskapligt steg till.

During the last two decades, the elementary, - secondary-, and upper secondary schools of especially Europe and USA have gone through a change. From being formed in the post war time and, in Europe, very influenced by the ideas of social democracy, the school today has more and more come under the influences of neo liberalism, entrepreneurship and the political and economical situations during the late 1980´s.This undergraduate work brings up the changed discourses of education and knowledge in relation to the traditional free school system for adults in Sweden, the popular education, and especially in relation to folk high schools (folkhögskolor). By using, first and foremost, the idea of Norman Faircloughs critical discourse analysis (CDA) the rules and documents concerning the folk high schools are analyzed. The purpose of the paper is to identify and recognize the movement in the discourse to reach an understanding about the political situation for folk high schools in Sweden. In the end you can see that it is possible to define a similar development in discourse surrounding the popular education, as has been in the case with the elementary, - secondary-, and upper secondary schools..

?Furu är fult? Det är en kommentar man ofta får höra när man nämner furu, många har åsikter om materialet vissa positiva men det flesta är rätt negativt inställda till furu.Vad är det då som gör att folk har dessa åsikter ? Är det materialet som sådant, det formspråk som oftast förknippas med furu, eller är det andra faktorer som spelar in?Kan man med hjälp av ett modernt formspråk påverka och få folk att se förbi materialet, få dom att uppskatta produkten och fastna för den trots att det är möbler gjorda i furu..

In this bachelor's thesis, we investigate the Swedish folk high school?s role in neoliberal society, which is analyzed through the lens of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse theory as well as Erving Goffman's theory of social deviants. The focus of our study has been participants in creative education, such as art, theater and creative writing. Our findings include that participants at folk high schools find great value in their education, both creatively and personally. They note that they have experienced a large amount of personal growth, regarding both openness towards others and higher confidence and their own abilities and identity.

The aim of this study was to document treatments of sick and injured reindeer in Tornedalen and the area around Gällivare.

This essay will examine the historical picture of the island Rapa Nui as it is portrayed in popular science and in ecohistorical literature of the university of Gothenburg. This historical picture states that the inhabitants of the island cut down a lot of trees in the process of transporting the big and heavy statues, moai, from the quarry to the platforms along the coastline of the island. During this process all trees disappeared and resulted in soil erosion. The cultivation was destroyed and brought hunger to Rapa Nui. The following rivalry for food led to a situation of war followed by a cultural collapse.

The aim of this study is to describe ideas put forward by Sweden Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna) about Christianity in Sweden and the Church of Sweden as a Folk Church, a church for a whole people, and how the political party uses Christianity as a part of constructing a Swedish identity. The investigation is based on official documents, newspaper articles, statements and political motions which are analysed using a form of text analysis called idea analysis. The theoretical frame of the investigation is founded on Claire Mitchell?s theory about religious content in ethnic identities and Einar Billing?s and Johan Alfred Eklund?s thoughts about what makes the Church of Sweden a Folk Church.The investigation shows, among other things, that the Sweden Democrats? view of the Church of Sweden is similar to the thoughts of Eklund but they differ in their lack of references to theology. The investigation also shows that Christianity serves as an important marker for the Sweden Democrats in creating a Swedish identity. .

In this work I have examined how two violin students, who are used to the classical music tradition, think when they learn to play Swedish folk music, with focus on rhythm and beating the time with their feet. One of the students is studying on her first year to be a classical violin teacher and the other student is studying on her third year to be a classical musician, both are studying at Malmö Academy of Music. I had three lessons, one hour each, with these two students where I taught them some basics in how to play Swedish folk music. After the last lesson I interviewed the two students. I have done interviews with two teachers at Malmö Academy of Music; Wieslawa Szymczynska and Mats Edén.

The essay deals with the patterns of storytelling in Selma Lagerlöfs novel "Körkarlen". The focus is on the relationship between idea and form.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det judiska folkets kultur och religion står i ett direkt förhållande till det lidande som de som folk genom historien har utsatts för, och som kulminerade i andra världskrigets Förintelse, den så kallade Holocaust. För att få svar på denna fråga har jag koncentrerat mig på ett litteraturstudium av den judiska historien, och då framför allt på folkets utsatthet, vilka konsekvenser denna utsatthet fått och vilka svar de gett på utsattheten och lidandet. För att uppnå mitt syfte har jag använt mig av den hermeneutiska tolkningsmetoden. Resultatet visar tydligt att det genom historien har funnits en judisk utsatthet, och att denna kan sägas stå i ett direkt förhållande till judendomens grändläggande idé om förbundet mellan Gud och folket. Denna trosföreställning har inneburit att ett av svaren på utsattheten finns i kristendomens anklagelse att judarna blev Kristusmördare.
