<p><strong>Jane Austen</strong></p><p><strong>Her dialogues and the time in which she lived</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This essay is about the dialogues in Jane Austen’s novels and what they say about the time she lived in. The interest for Austen comes from the “Austen movies” I’ve seen the latest year.</p><p> </p><p>AIM AND FRAMING OF QUESTIONS My aim has been to compare the contents in the dialogues with the fact in the biographies. The questions are:</p><p>What do the dialogues say about the convention, the behaviour, manners and the form of address? What does it say about young men and women and about the marriage? Are the dialogues supported by the content in the biographies? Did Jane Austen really write realistic?</p><p> </p><p>METHOD AND MATERIAL The method was to read the novels and then the biographies. I divided the empiric material in different categories and based it on the fact in the biographies. I have read <em>Sense and sensibility</em>, <em>Pride and prejudice</em>, <em>Mansfield</em><em> Park</em> and <em>Persuasion</em>. The biographies I have used are for example Valerie Grosvenor Myer’s <em>Obstinate Heart Jane Austen A Biography</em>, Carol Shield’s <em>Jane Austen</em>.</p><p> </p><p>RESULTS I found that the text and the dialogues and contents in Austen’s novels are realistic. She has not made up own rules for convention and behaviour but lets her characters act in a normal way. <strong></strong></p>

<p>Syftet med uppsatsen var att genom Norman Faircloughs diskursanalysmetod undersöka synen på våldtäkt och genus i 1734 års lag och fyra rättsfall ur Allbo härads domböcker från perioden 1634-1734 ur ett genusperspektiv. Avsikten var att därefter jämföra lag och praxis med varandra för att studera förändring och kontinuitet i synen på våldtäkt och genus över tid samt analysera huruvida förändringarna som 1734 års lag medförde kan påvisas i praxis redan före lagens ikraftträdande. Genus betraktas i denna studie i enlighet med den genusteori som Anita Göransson har utvecklat och diskurs används i enlighet med Norman Faircloughs användning av begreppet. Analysen visar främst på en betydande kontinuitet i synen på såväl våldtäkt som genus. Våldtäkt betraktas som ett allvarligt brott både i lag och praxis. När det gäller genus uppfattas kvinnor såväl i lag som i praxis som passiva i sexuellt avseende medan män betraktas som den sexuellt aktiva parten som tar initiativ till sexuellt umgänge. Mannen våldtar och kvinnan blir våldtagen.</p>

<p>This project has been design orientated and the focus was to study the possibilities of the glass in a industrial product development process. The goal has been to develop a lighting product with strong character that furthermore has possibilities to rational manufacturing. The inspiration comes from many different elements, like 1700 century Swedish glass, Moulin Rouge and contemporary shapes and expressions.</p>

The Old Testament story of Joseph is common to the Christians, Muslims, and Jews of medieval Spain, and each group drew upon its own and other exegetical traditions to produce literary versions of the biblical tale. After the expulsion of the latter two groups, several Hispanic playwrights, including such notable figures as Lope de Vega, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, continued to produce theatrical versions of the Josephine legend throughout the Golden Age. Most of these plays attained a great deal of popularity. In spite of the importance of these works in early Spanish culture, recent scholarship has paid comparatively little attention to them. The present study is meant to remedy that situation. By drawing upon the theoretical concepts of Edward Said, Amin Maalouf, Jonathan Z. Smith, and others regarding identity and Otherness, I demonstrate how each adaptation of the story constructs or evaluates religious and national identity. Medieval prose and poetic adaptations written by representatives of each of the three monotheistic faiths reveal an attempt to maintain the boundaries of religious identity within a multicultural context. Sixteenth-century theatrical versions deal with the post-expulsion identity crisis by proposing a more inclusive attitude towards New Christians. Finally, under the Baroque influence of the late seventeenth century, adaptations of the Joseph story become increasingly metatheatrical. This literary self-reflection serves to interrogate the nature of identity and reveal its constructedness. Given the importance of identity issues in current scholarship, this analysis suggests the need for increased critical attention to be paid to the Spanish Josephine tradition. / text
