Use of a next-generation, classroom-based network technology for mathematics instruction illuminates possible connections between the aesthetic perceptions of mathematics and mathematics teaching practices. Generative activity design makes use of participatory classroom simulations with the technology to allow students to fully engage in the activities from various levels and trajectories of understanding. Moreover, the student engagement with these activities produces artifacts, the projections of which make mathematical aesthetic visible and a substantial topic in the classroom discourse. This investigation entails the study of one secondary mathematics teacher, examining her instructional practices in the context of a networked-supported environment. This case study, conducted within the framework of a design experiment, uncovers the ways in which the teacher's mathematical aesthetic perceptions acted to (1) constrain her process of generative activity design and (2) frame her role in the mathematical discourse during classroom implementation of the network. Findings suggest the need for augmentation of a generative activity design framework to include overt connections to aesthetic.

This thesis provides an inter-disciplinary study of selected works by Ingmar Bergman. I explore how key concepts from Melanie Klein and Jean-Paul Sartre apply to the focus on characters in a state of heightened imagination; and the value placed on imagination in the construction of these films. This involves recognition of the way an active response from the viewer is encouraged. Klein, Sartre and Bergman also attend to contextual factors that challenge any notion of subjectivity as sovereign and the power of imagination is frequently placed in a social context. All three figures develop their ideas within specialised fields drawing on the influence of others. Chapter 2 shows how Klein’s ideas relate to the influence of Freud before exploring how her work can be applied to Bergman’s films through the example of Wild Strawberries. Chapter 3 concentrates on Sartre’s early work, The Imaginary and considers how this is significant in relation to some of Sartre’s better-known philosophical ideas developed during and after the Second World War. These ideas will lead to an exploration of The Seventh Seal. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 focus on three films from distinct parts of Bergman’s career: Summer with Monika, The Virgin Spring and Hour of the Wolf. In Chapter 4 this will be preceded by a brief over-view of three more films from the early part of Bergman’s career. These chapters explore how Kleinian and Sartrean ideas can be incorporated in close analysis, and alongside selected critical responses to the films. The analysis integrates key points from Klein and Sartre in a methodology specific to film studies. This will include analysis of cinematic elements such as camera work and lighting, and recognition of narrative structure and character development

I detta examensarbete har jag använt en designers formrepertoar och materialpalett och inspirerats av andra formgivares sätt uppdatera redan befintliga former. De produkter jag använt mig av är ett Parson bord och en lampfot. De material jag använd är kalkad ek, flock och rostfritt stål. Före, under och efter min formgivningsprocess har jag reflekterat över den mer övergripande frågan vad det är som gör något vackert, estetisk tilltalande. I arbetet har jag kommit fram till att det går att ta redan befintliga former och, genom designprocessen och valen man gör som designer, att göra de till sina egna.
