The interest in providing a post 9/11 image of Islam to contrast the media?s frequent focus on its practitioners? alleged tendencies toward hostility and violence has in Sweden manifested itself (among other things) in an increased range of courses on Islam given by denominational Muslim organizations. In this paper I examine the construction of Islam by two Muslim organizations that offer education in Islam to non-Muslims in the context of the management?s stated goals of the education. My aim is to illustrate how discourses within these organizations are a result of the combination of local and global conditions..
Att ge och få i gengäld - En kvalitativ studie kring betydelsen av ideella organisationer med social inriktning i det svenska välfärdssamhället
Today many sociologists speak about the modern world and the god and bad that it brings. In association to this discussion there is a tendency to speak about an increased individualization, a process that often also means more choices and possibilities. But in addition to this follows a big responsibility for how we choose to live our lives, since our choices not seldom also influences other people, both locally and globally. The aim of this essay is to investigate the importance of non-profit organizations with social direction in our Swedish welfare society and thereby also in a modern world where people's individual choices are becoming all more important. In order to answer my main issue I have implemented thirteen qualitative interviews, of which ten of the informers are from different non-profit organizations and three from different stately authorities.
Landsbygd i förändring : en jämförelse mellan bouppteckningar från1840-talet och sekelskiftet 1900 på Gotlands södra landsbygd
During the beginning of the 19th century Sweden is effected by the Napoleonic Wars and in the aftermath of the war Sweden looses Finland to Russia. This loss leads to the dismissal of King Gustav IV Adolf and the introduction of the Bernadotte dynasty on the Swedish throne. Over the century the industrialization plays a big part in the progress of Sweden. The growth of the industries leads to developments in the areas of agriculture. With this essay I would like to examine if the people on the countryside of Gotland keep the same pace as the people on the mainland in their introduction of new things.
Hur framställs kvinnor i diaspora på film? : En etnisk analytisk jämförelse av Persepolis och Exils
Denna uppsats avser studera hur kvinnor i diaspora framställs på film. Undersökningen är utförd på filmerna Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi, 2004) och Exils (Tony Gatlif, 2007). De teoretiska utgångspunkter som uppsatsens analysdel grundar sig på är: postkolonialism, hybriditet och postkolonial feminism. Analysen är utförd efter mina egna frågeställningar, tolkningar och reflektioner, med hermeneutiken som metod. Slutsatsen visar att kvinnorna i diaspora framställs som starka och självständiga. De visar motstånd mot auktoriteter.
"Han" Lars Hård : Maskuliniteter i Jan Fridegårds trilogi om Lars Hård
Uppsatsen syftar till att söka svaren på frågor om vilka maskuliniteter som uppstår i Jan Fridegårds ursprungliga trilogi om Lars Hård samt hur dessa maskuliniteter uppstår, varierar och upprätthålls. Undersökningen utgår från teorier formulerade av bland andra Judith Butler och Raewyn Connell; teorier som vill förklara både genus och kön som sociala konstruktioner. Arbetet bygger vidare på ett forskningsläge om manlighet i litteraturen som främst kan karaktäriseras som internationellt, eftersom den svenska litteraturvetenskapliga manlighetsforskningen ännu är förhållandevis blygsam. Undersökningen kan delas in i tre delar som i tur och ordning behandlar maskuliniteter som uppstår i Lars Hårds relationer till kvinnor, till andra män och till samhällets institutioner.I Lars Hårds relationer till kvinnor söker han främst konstruera sin maskulinitet genom att söka efter en stabil och naturlig femininitet att spegla denna maskulinitet mot; något som i allt väsentligt misslyckas.I hans interagerande med andra män visar sig en maskulinitet präglad av distansering från familjen och de plikter som därmed associeras. Denna maskulinitet uppstår främst i grupper av män; grupper som även präglas av hierarkier och dominans av andra män.
"Which way I Love" och "Vulkan I varje land eller Bomben åt Var och En" : analys av två verk av Kristina Abelli Elander och Erla Thorarinsdottir
Meningen med denna uppsats är att genom en jämförande analys utforska vad dessa två verk från början av 1980-talet säger om samtiden i fråga om politiska och feministiska aspekter. Uppsatsen börjar med beskrivningar och analyser av verkan var för sig där det konstateras att Kristina Abelli Elander kritiserar köns- och familjeroller medan Erla Thorarinsdottir tar upp kampen för fred och kärleken till sitt hemland. Därefter följer en jämförande analys där det bland annat tas upp likheter och skillnader mellan verkan i fråga om tillvägagångssätt samt jämför detta med hur man kan ha gått till väga bara ett decennium tidigare..
Det gemensamma bästa kan inte förutsättas : En berättelse om Grupptalan mot Skandia
The subject for this paper is the Class Action against Skandia Association, a civil organization formed in 2003 with the aim of claiming compensation for some 1.2 million life insurance customers. The background to its formation was one of the largest financial scandals in Sweden in recent times, involving a number of questionable affairs within the insurance corporation Skandia and its subsidiaries, most notably the life insurance company Skandia Liv. The interests of both the stake- and stockholders of the company seem, in certain ways, to have been grossly misrepresented. The scandal, as well as the reaction it spawned, pose a number of questions. In this study, we focus on two: a possible, and in many ways apparent crisis in the representation of interests in Swedish society, and the role of civil society in upholding the balance between these interests.We argue that what is often held to be the ?greed? or ?immorality? of individuals in scandals such as Skandia is, to a great extent, a mere reflection of the ?rational? underpinnings of modern-day capitalism.We find that trust has been a key mechanism of control in the relationships between consumers and agents in pension and life insurance markets, and that ?the Swedish model? that distinguished post-WWII Swedish society was a model heavily based on trust towards existing models of bureaucratic governance.
När Sanningar Möts. Unga i interreligiös dialog
This study centres on the question of how interfaith dialogue can function as a meeting place for young people from different social and cultural backgrounds. The study is based on qualitative interviews with five young participants in an interfaith project taking place in Sweden in 2013 and 2014. For reading the material through a lens of late modern religiosity, Heelas and Woodheads thesis of a spiritual revolution was used. To be able to conclude whether the religiousness of the participants functions as a social resource, Hammack and Cohlers term narrative engagement is used. Lastly Knitters models of theologies of religions was used in the analysis of how the participants reads and understands their own and the others faiths.The study shows that the participants meet in the common aim of defining a religious identity in a late modern and pluralistic society.

Påverkan : Hur intertextualitet påverkat innehåll och berättarröst i romanen Panik (Den ätbare mannen)
The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss what exile writing is and who can be seen as an exile writer. If the word ?exile? is related to forced dislocation, like Paul Tabori and Sopia A. McClennen describes it, who can be viewed as an exile writer? Is Anders Olsson?s definition of an exile writer acceptable or not? Could the The Escape, a future story about exiled Northern Europeans in Myanmar, be classified as exile literature?Another purpose with this text is to describe how a story about exile can be made realistic and tangible to a reader who has not experienced exile.
Neva Boyd, en lekteoretiker för dramapedagogik : En historisk fallstudie
This is a historical documentary research study across Neva Leona Boyd (1876-1963). The theoretical perspective is based on the historical perspective of knowledge from ancient Greece to the approach of modern symbolic interactionism. The study shows that Boyd, who was Viola Spolins teacher, was a proponent of the modern view of group play theory. 1909 she founded Chicago School for Playground Workers, later transformed to the Recreation Training School. Until 1927, the school entered in Hull-House initiated by Jane Addams.
Utveckling av metod för retrospektiv bestämning av absorberad dos i korall medelst elektronspinnresonans
This diploma work was performed at the department for radiation physics at the Health University in Linköping. Its aim was to develop a method to retrospectively quantify the absorbed dose in coral. Coral is a material which suites well as a retrospective dosimeter because when exposed to radioactivity its induced free radicals are stable in time. The number of radicals is proportional to the accumulated dose so the dose can be calculated by quantifying the radicals. Therefore, coral can tell us something about the past environment and also be used in dating purposes.A young, modern coral from the Red Sea was studied and also a fossil one which I was given from the Natural History Museum in Stockholm.
Hur viktigt är samarbete i modern marknadsföring? - en studie om produktplacering
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva och öka förståelsen för processen kring produktplacering i film. Mer specifikt syftar uppsatsen till att analysera samarbetet i denna form av nätverk. Metod: Studien är designad utifrån en föreställning om produktplacering som en kommunikationsform där samarbete är centralt. Tillvägagångssättet består i huvudsak av en fallstudie av en svensk film. Resultatet från fallstudien kompletteras med tidigare studier, av mer allmän art, för att (i viss mån) kunna generaliseras.
Urbana utväxter : konsumtionskoncentrat
The shopping mall is a reflection of the city and its habitants, a concentrate of the modern city. I have studied the dialogues of malls and the communication within, how malls are put together and what they communicate.
The city is constantly changing. As soon as we try to grasp the city, it slips away. My opinion is that city planners and landscape architects need to widen their views. City planning needs to develop to better fit to the changes of our modern cities.
