Today Europe is faced with an identity crisis concerning its borders. Turkey stands at the threshold for an EU-membership while the EU-Commission is trying to formulate what constitutes a European identity. This identity seeking process will determine the future not only for Turkey, but also for immigrants now living in Europe.In this thesis a discourse analysis, underpinned by socialconstructionist theory, is conducted to explore how the European identity has been constructed throughout history up until today. A starting point is that identity always is defined through a dialectical relationship to "otherness". Therefore the analysis is focused not only on what a European identity consists of but also what and who it excludes.

The purpose with this essay is to examine and create an understanding for what meaning graffiti and street art has for those who practice it. Furthermore, the practice of graffiti and street art is seen in relation to how urban space is produced. Five semi-structured interviews and one group interview has been made to answer the questions "What meaning does graffiti and street art has for those who practice it? Can it be seen as a way to construct identity?" "How do the artists relate to existing ideals about public space?" and "Does the artists see graffiti and street art as a resistance against the normative representation of the city, in that case, how?" The theoretical framework consists of Mitchell's ideas about public space, Tonkiss' definition of social order, Lefebvre's spatial triad, de Certeau's concept of strategy and tactics, the concept of appropriation and Castell's theory about collective identity. The results showed that the practice of graffiti and street art can be understood as a more complex practice than earlier research has shown.

Viral marknadsföring har pÄ senare tid blivit allt mer uppmÀrksammat dÄ mÄnga har insett fördelar med att kommunicera sitt varumÀrke via sociala medier. Idag kan ett budskap spridas oerhört snabbt via olika kommunikationskanaler och dÀrmed skapa en "snackis", vilket naturligtvis Àr ett önskvÀrt lÀge för företagen. Det innebÀr dock inte att denna spridning Àr lÀtt att uppnÄ. För att ett innehÄll ska bli viralt mÄste det helt enkelt förtjÀnas. Termen "viral marknadsföring" och dÀrmed dess anvÀndning kan upplevas som tvetydig dÄ nÄgra anser att det Àr möjligt att i förvÀg utforma en viral kampanj medan andra menar att det aldrig i förvÀg gÄr att veta om nÄgonting kommer att bli viralt eller ej.Idag flyter Àven vÄr fysiska yta samman med den digitala vilket skapar en dynamisk miljö som företag Àr verksamma inom och som vidare leder till att det krÀvs ett nytt förhÄllningssÀtt för att kunna möta denna dynamik.

The purpose of this paper is to increase knowledge and understanding of how an identity is constructed on the internet and if it is different from the everyday identity. To analyze this, I have studied the theories of how identity is constructed in everyday life and then applied this on the empirical data that I have collected. In this study, I have chosen to pursue a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews to gather the empirical data. In the study, six informants participated and all of them has an active social life both on and off the internet. The results that I have found in this study shows that an identity online is constructed in a similar way as it does in real life, however, some limitations that exist in everyday life do not exist online.

This study is based on six narrative interviews which I conducted with students at the University of Namibia in Windhoek, Namibia. My aim is to find out how these students are creating their identity in the environment of the university, how they look at their family structure and how NamibiaÂŽs independence in 1990 has created new opportunities for young people in contemporary Namibia. I have been using postcolonial theory and identity theories to analyse the interviews. Five of the six respondents are from the northern parts of Namibia, Ovamboland, and this area is seen as a rural area. The students have made an emotional journey from the rural areas in the north to the urban area of Windhoek and they feel that they have many new opportunities and they are willing to change Namibia into a more developed country..
