Through participant observation in a local promoter group of Hardcore punk shows inGothenburg and qualitative interviews with its members I have investigated links between taste in music, values and social structures in the Hardcore punk scene. The theoretical framework of this essay is built upon the concept of subcultural capital, which is adapted from Pierre Bourdieu and developed by Sarah Thornton and Keith Kahn-Harris. The result shows how members among the Hardcore punk scene create and preserve distinction towards others, while the distinction becomes important benchmarks for including and excluding practices in the scene..

Sjöodjuret är en helautomatisk, självuppladdande poolrobot gjord för att förhöja upplevelsen av poolen. Formen är inspirerad av vattenlevande djur och idén kom ursprungligen från tanken att förvandla en fiktiv varelse till en kommersiell produkt. Genom att jobba med en balans mellan individ och produktuttryck har jag försökt skapa en produkt som känns mer som en hjälpsam varelse än en städmaskin. Detta utan att göra avkall på användarens behov. Mitt syfte har varit att skapa en emotionell upplevelse av en ?Hardcore? industridesignprodukt..

The thought behind this bachelor essay regarding gender and rhetorical feminist criticism developed years ago out of the fact that I read just a little too many dirty chick lit-pockets as a teen. Those chick lit-pockets were my first introduction to sex, to gender roles, to how men and women react and are supposed to react to each other and, in some sense, even to feminism. Those chick lit-pockets, later turning into Hardcore Harlequin-books, became my benchmark when I started to contemplate the fact that this is a man?s world, produced and reproduced by a male gaze which influences everything from sex, porn, advertising, gender roles, jobs and payment to dirty pockets for teenage girls.The essays aims to show how the male gaze-phenomenon could be to use for the rhetoric discipline: first combined with other rhetorical theories as a way to analyze and understand gender and objectification. The main question asked; How to put the male gaze on a rhetorical leash? This bachelor essay consists of a qualitative literature study focusing on four articles and one book in which five different male gaze-perspective appears.
