In Italy in 1528 the famous author Baldassare Castiglione published the book Il Cortegiano. In words Castiglione portraits the ideal courtiers and provides a lot of advice on how to achieve the ultimate courtier manner. For example he introduces and explains the words sprezzatura and grazia. His advice spread from Italy and influenced the courts around Europe. My purpose with this study has been two folded. Firstly, I have analysed Castigliones Il Cortegiano in order to examine his vision of virtues and ideals.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken betydelse upplevelsen har för minnet. Studien behandlar tre problemformuleringar: (1) Vad minns eleverna några månader efter sitt besök på Sörmlands museum? (2) Varför minns eleverna just de sakerna? Här studeras de två aspekterna: Av vilka anledningar anser eleverna själva att de har dessa minnen? Vad säger utomhuspedagogisk forskning om upplevelsernas betydelse för lärandet? (3) Hur väl stämmer elevernas minnen överens med de syften som Sörmlands museums har med sin verksamhet?Studien baseras på en enkätundersökning där sammanlagt 205 elever i årskurs 4 och 5 har deltagit i ett studiebesök på Sörmlands museum under våren 2004. Efter fyra till åtta månader ombeds eleverna utveckla två frågeställningar / påståenden: (1) Detta minns jag? (2) Jag minns det för att?Resultatet visar att eleverna har rika minnen från besöket samt att de allra flesta eleverna upplevde besöket som positivt.

The subject this thesis will investigate concerns the matter of how political ideologies exist within public libraries with a focus on the democratic ideal. Public libraries are part of the political system and we want to show how political ideologies take their shape in public libraries and the possible consequences of this. With the help of three major political ideologies, liberalism, conservatism and socialism we investigate how the democratic ideals of these ideologies are expressed in documents that describes activities the libraries will and have performed. In order to identify these ideologies we use discourses in cultural policy as a bridge between the investigated documents and the political ideologies. As an analytical tool we have developed a model that describes the relation between text, discourse and ideology which we use in our analysis.

In this essay I analyze Karin Boye?s first novel, Astarte, focusing on her views concerning norms,ideals and female liberation. The novel is written in a tone of irony, allowing for many of thecharacters to be viewed as caricatures. The theories and methods I use are drawn from genderstudies and queer theory. Queer theorist Judith Butler, and the concepts of performativity, interpellation, genealogy and the heterosexual matrix, are of central importance for my analysis.

Dokumentation av en Tävlingsprocess - Jøssingfjords Stenbrottsmuseum Avsikten med detta examensarbete var att utföra en tidsbegränsad tävling och samtidigt dokumentera arbetsprocessen. När tävlingsförslaget var färdigställt analyserades processen och resultatet. En strategi för hur projektet skulle arbetas vidareformulerades sedan.Målet var att hitta en personlig dokumentationsform som skulle ge en bra översikt av arbetet och som förhoppningsvis också skulle kunna användas för att hitta eventuella svagheter eller negativa mönster i den egna arbetsprocessen.Vid slutgenomgången ska projektet beskrivas genom processen tillsammans med de reflektioner jag och mina handledare har haft under projektets gång.Programval:Jag valde att använda programmet från en tävling som var aktuell när examensarbetet började. Tävlingen var ett stenbrottsmuseum i södra Norge. Initiativtagare var Dalarne rådet och programmet .

Participation as Pedagogy ? Imagined Race and the Exhibit of Swedish Peoples-Types.This essay will analyse and give a deeper picture of the ?The Exhibit of Swedish People-Types? by focusing on the pedagogical ideals that formed the exhibit as an participatory media. The exhibit was led by the famous race-biologist Herman Lundborg and toured Sweden in 1919 displaying the racial constitution of the Swedish population using material gathered by the public itself. The exhibit has been described as an important tool in popularising eugenics in Swedish society during the early 20th century with the ambition of gaining funds to create the first race-biological institute and to influence policy-making. Nevertheless there has not been a single study which has focused solely on the exhibit and how the pedagogical ideals that permeated it affected the relation between the public and the media itself nor the political implications of this relation.

Denna studie diskuterar hur kulturarv, i detta fall Friluftsmuseet Gamla Linköping, är uppbyggt och hur dess utformning gör att anspråk på historisk representation och autenticitet. De tre män som deltog som informanter i denna studie vet att Gamla Linköping är konstruerad genom omlokalisering av gamla byggnader till platsen, vilket skapar bilden av en liten stad i början av 1900-talet. Under intervjuerna med informanterna, frågade jag om de upplever Gamla Linköping som antingen ett museum eller en stadsdel - och svaret var komplex. I huvudsak ansåg informanterna att Gamla Linköping är ett levande samhälle som illustrerar det förflutna.Jag har genomfört denna studie genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och deltagande observationer på Adventsmarknaden i Gamla Linköping. Genom de deltagande observationerna på Adventsmarknaden blev det möjligt för informanterna att fortsätta reflektionen över vad och hur de uppfattar vara representativ och autentiskt i förhållande till Gamla Linköping miljön.Studien är indelad i fyra delar; Museum eller stadsdel?, Dåtiden i nutiden, Adventsmarknaden, Kulturarv - för vem?.

This essay tries to show how The Swedish Museum of Architecture, Stockholm, with the exibition Architecture in Sweden - Function, Design and Aesthetic through the Ages, presents and represents architecture. It is stated that this is done in a multi-perspectival, multimedial fashion, with the aid of, for example, photography, models and mixed material surrounding the wide concept of ?architecture?. One chapter discusses the relationships between the exhibition on site, the exhibition catalog and the museum´s website. Another chapter argues that there can be no essential or perfect representation of architecture, although this utopian wish most certainly exists even today.

Jag ville skriva om Sven Ljungberg och undersöka hur han arbetar, och på vilket sätt han lyckats att bli profet i sin egen hemstad. Man träffar på hans konst på många platser, till exempel utsmyckningen av predikstolen i Hinneryds kyrka. Förutom att det finns ett museum i hans namn har det skrivits mycket både av och om Sven Ljungberg. Till exempel utkom 1985 Anne Lidéns biografi Sven Ljungberg, målare. Jag vill karakterisera den som en hyllning till hela konstnärskapet.
