However, my studyshows that through the years the cartel repeatedly experiencedcrisis, and therefore constantly fell apart and was recreated throughprocesses of negotiation..

Detta arbete behandlar förmedlingen av den vikingatida kvinnan i arkeologisk kurslitteratur. En kvalitativ studie av materialet delar upp förmedlingen i åtta olika teman. Inom dessa teman redovisas citat som har valts ut för att representera de vis som den vikingatida kvinnan har förmedlats på. Resultatet visar att bilden av kvinna har förändrats under perioden som studerats. Den bild som ges i kurslitteraturen är sammankopplad med den arkeologiska forskningsteorins utveckling samt rådande samhällshegemoni.

Bullying is something that is often times talked about in relation to school, in spite of that it's still something that is a very common problem.

In a time where many Asian metropolises experience an expansive development new urbanconditions are created and the already existing disappears or being replaced. Asian cities develop ata pace that is unprecedented in our history and which, through a western perspective can seemharsh. By focusing on an urban complex in Chengdu, capital of the southwestern province ofSichuan China, the study asks; is it possible to see this rapid urbanization from another perspective?The study examines the local and global dimensions of Raffels City, and how concepts such asnostalgia and authenticity, related to the city, can be understood in an urbanization that is so markedby massive demolitions. The study shows that these concepts can be expressed in several ways, andthat an awareness of them does not necessarily control the view of the city..

During the period of occupation of Norway between the years 1940-1945 the National Lutheran Church took the responsibility of supporting the Norweigans in their ideological battle against the Nazis. This was a period named Holdningskampen in Norwegian history. One person to remember was Eivind Berggrav, bishop in Oslo diocese. He was the one responsible for the theological document of importance Kirkens Grunn that became important as a document against the Nazis and the small percentage of Christians that related to the naziinspired-church. Berggrav was also one of the founders of Den Midlertidlige Kirkeledelsen, the organisation responsible for the non-nazified churches.

Rapid urbanisation is putting strains on both the landscape and the city dwellers and the pressure on planning for sustainable and equitable cities is crucial. As many cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are expanding, city planning has trouble keeping up to meet the needs of the growing amount of urban dwellers. Many cities have also been planned with the cars in focus and the needs and comfort of the pedestrians have been overlooked. The capacity of institutions is limited due to centralized government and bureaucracy, as well as corruption. Planning is erratically implemented and it is difficult to know what will happen.

How does language work within the context of art and image? In what way can text contribute to the reception of an art work?In this essay I examine the role of language and how it, in selected works from the artists Sejla Kameric, Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer, becomes part of the deconstruction and exposure of social structures and issues of gender. My aim is to examine whether this deconstruction of rules and structures helps to bring about a forming of a female subject in oppsition to the more common female object..

Denna uppsats handlar om det ockulta under jägarstenåldern och har gravplatserna vidSkateholm som utgångspunkt. Det som uppsatsen främst fokuserar på är hur man kan tolkagravarna vid Skateholm ur ett ockult perspektiv.

I uppsatsen analyseras den amerikanska redigeringen av Elvis Presleys satellitsända tv-konsert ?Aloha from Hawaii? (Marty Pasetta, 1973) stilistiskt och kontextuellt. Syftet är att utreda huruvida sändningen enbart hade underhållningsmässiga motiv eller om man även kan se den som amerikansk, kulturimperialistisk propaganda. Teoretiska utgångspunkter är främst Daniel Dayans och Elihu Katzs forskning om media events och David Ludvigssons teorier om produktionsfaktorer inom dokumentärfilm. Även P.

Both contemporary research in History of Religions and current public debate tell us that Christianity as a religious form is challenged in today?s society. Nevertheless, Christianity is often present in secular artistic expression such as fictional literature. The purpose of this paper is to examine how God is portrayed in two late-modern Swedish novels, Djävulen och Gud by Mare Kandre (1993) and Boken by Niklas Rådström (2013).The examination is based on a hermeneutic method using close reading in order to answer the questions asked. The result of the examination shows that God in the late-modern novels is portrayed as a figure with shifting emotions, and in both novels God goes through changes which are in some ways similar.

I denna uppsats har jag med hjälp av en komparativ och hypotetiskt-deduktiv metod diskuterat källäget mellan skriftlig och materiell kultur under vikingatiden. Som avgränsande exempel har jag valt de skriftliga källorna Vita Ansgari från 800-talet samt Adam av Bremens Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum från 1000-talet. Som arkeologiskt material har jag valt fynden av en skeppsgrav i Ladby, samt en kammargrav i Mammen i Danmark. Syftet med uppsatsen var att se om källorna såsom de speglades i den materiella respektive skriftliga kulturen kontrasterade eller samspelade med varandra, resultatet av min studie var att källorna samspelade med varandra..

The present study concerns a concept development of a product idea that Bengt Magnuson, associate professor, had when a heavy storm caused a widespread power failure of long duration. With a basic power-producing unit one should be able to get through a power loss. The product could also be useful for other tasks if different modules are connected, e g grass mower or snow-blower.According to the product idea the basic unit will be able to produce electric power enough for a fridge, freezer, TV, and a few electric lamps. Normally the basic unit can be used e g as a mower, when such a module is attached. An increased number of tasks would make the contraption useful and tempting for those who do not own an electrical power set in reserve.
