金庸自一九五五年在新晚報開始連載第一篇武俠小說《書劍恩仇錄》，至一 九七○年封筆作《鹿鼎記》，共創作了十五部小說。這十五部小說在華人世界中 歷久不衰，更引起不少討論。一九八四年，台灣遠景出版社出版了一系列「金 學研究叢書」，「金學」一詞正式出現。最初，討論金庸作品都以短小的筆記型 文章為主，集中在閱讀金著的感受、討論書中情節和人物等。一九八○年代末 開始，「金學」己成為學術界的熱門研究課題，有大學更主辦「金庸小說學術研 討會」，與會者多為享負盛名的學者，最近更出現了所謂「金庸學」(Jinyonology) 一詞。「金學研究集」發行人王榮文認為金庸「極有可能在有生之年看到其作品 「經典化」的完成，這真是古今中外作家們少有的幸運」。王德威在《金庸小說 國際學術研討會論文集》的序言中亦提到：「本書的出版，無疑為金庸作品經典 化發展，再下一城。」 這情況在當代華文創作圈中非常罕有，實在是一個值得深思的文化現象。 金庸小說能發展到現在成為「經典」，內在原因當然是其小說本身的確是不可多 得的好作品。然而，這並不是唯一，甚至不是最重要的原因，外在的文化脈絡 因素發揮的作用更大。作為作者，金庸花了很大心力把自己的小說包裝成「經 典文學」呈現在讀者面前；另外，經過中國大陸、香港和台灣的學術界和文化 界不斷討論，金庸小說終於成為「經典」。然而，由於三地的政治文化環境不同， 金庸小說的經典化在中港台所經歷的道路也有很大差異。本論文的研究目的， 首先是分析金庸如何為其小說製造出一個「經典」形象，再進一步對金庸小說 不同的經典化過程作一疏理，從而探討其間三地在金學研究現象中所包涵的文 化政治意義。

Mitt arbete handlar om hur hantverk, trähantverk i synnerhet, behöver en injektion av nya perspektiv för att inte stagnera i framtiden. Projektet handlar om att skapa en lärandesituation/kunskapsmiljö och möte med nästkommande generation hantverkare. Främst så vill jag plantera frön om att arbete med händerna är något fantastiskt och viktigt. I vårt uppkopplade och skärmintensiva text- och bildsamhälle frånkopplas den yngre generation allt mer från kroppsligt arbete – vilket vi ser i bland annat mindre slöjd, bild och idrott i grundskolan. Arbetet är uppdelat i två delar. En textdel och en praktisk del. Textdelen syftar till att lyfta idéer kring kunskapsfilosofi och hantverkspedagogik samt diskutera skillnaden mellan teoretisk och praktisk kunskap. Den praktiska delen handlar om att på ett begripligt sätt närma sig en framtida generation av hantverkare. Metoden för att nå min målgrupp, 14-16 åringar, är att arrangera workshops där deltagaren får möjlighet att tillverka en pall efter eget huvud. Detta är inget slöjdpedagogiskt arbete utan jag har valt att skapa en lärandesituation som om jag skulle undervisa en ung hantverkare i verkstaden. Resultatet av arbetet redovisas i en reflektionsdel och består i tankar om hur jag har arbetat med projektet samt hur det ska utvecklas och tas vidare med fortsatt arbete med hantverksworkshops för ungdomar. Den lärandesituation/workshop jag höll för ungdomarna resulterade i en, för arbetet, stor insikt: Det går att påverka attityder till hantverk genom rätt sorts stimulans. / My thesis is about how craft process especially my own practice can maintain tradition of woodworking the way my predecessors did, but also to include new generations and perspectives. The project is about creating a teaching environment with the next generation of makers. The objective is to show the value of working with your hands. In a technological world the younger generation is stripped of the hand and body-experience - arts, crafts and sports are taken away from the curriculum to give more time for theoretical education. The thesis is divided in two parts: One part theoretical and one part practical. The theoretical part aims to highlight the difference of thoughts and ideas surrounding the philosophical theories of knowledge and the educational side of craftsmanship. The practical part aims to further examine how to connect with the new generation of makers. My method to connect with my target group, 14 to 16 years old, is to arrange workshops where the participant are challenged to make and design their own stool. This thesis is not a study in the pedagogic practice of handicraft. The educational approach I take is personal and hands-on, one I would use with a young apprentice in my wood workshop. The result of my thesis shows the success of the test workshop and how to improve the method in the future. The workshop yielded one important realization: It ́s possible to influence attitudes towards craftmanship with a physical approach, rather than a theoretical.

The notion of Affordable Housing became widespread in the 1980s in North Americaand Europe, when the growing gap between rich and poor manifested itself inthe housing system. In Malmö today, the monthly rent for new produced tenanciescorresponds to about 70 percent of the average citizens disposable income per month.Affordable Housing is important because it improves the quality of life by leading tobetter health, financial stability, security, adequate jobs and population diversity. This thesis gives light to the current problem of Affordable Housing shortage and housinginequality, that is affecting certain groups. Those groups are the many young adultswho can’t move away from home due to financial reasons, or aspects such as divorce,migrancy, bad credit or debts that prevent them from getting a lease in Malmö. The thesis investigates whether Affordable Housing can meet the urgent need of housingfor low-income earners, and to activate a large new urban development project calledNyhamnen, set to be completed by 2050. Nyhamnen is located in the old harbor, indirect contact with the waterfront. The municipality of Malmö is promising a socially,economically, and environmentally sustainable, mixed-use urban district. Mixed-usezoning creates conditions enabling individuals from varied socioeconomic backgroundsto live together, which corresponds to Malmö’s large diversity, but this can only occurif individuals can afford to live in the new development project. Previous research shows an urgent Affordable Housing crisis that affects people’squality of life, and the word ‘’crisis’’ is not sufficient enough to describe the actualdamage being done. There is a lack of previous research on Affordable Housing inthe context of new development projects and by a waterfront, therefore this study aimsto highlight that gap. The thesis consists of a case study and empirical data in the formof an interview study, findings, discussion and conclusions. Semi-structured interviewswere performed with managers and officials at various companies to investigate theincentives that exist for Affordable Housing today. The conclusions of the study presents a strategy of providing 25% tenancies and 75%condominiums in Nyhamnen, which could both be cost effective and strengthen socialsustainability in the new district in the future. Nyhamnen will provide Malmö with 9000new homes and if 25% of these would be tenancies with reasonable rents, it would be2250 affordable tenancies. To accomplish that strategy in Nyhamnen, cooperationbetween developers, architects, officials, the municipality of Malmö, politicians, andthe Swedish state has to take place.

The purpose of this study is to examine the cultural policies of the New Labour government led by Tony Blair. This is achieved by looking at the study All Our Futures, presented in 1999, and the speech by Tony Blair in 2007 at the Tate Museum in London. The study also uses Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimers term “cultural industries”, John Fiskes “social reader” and the development of humanistic psychology to contextulize those policies, along with perspectives on the welfare state after World War II and the development of what is called New Public Management. As a last tool it uses the rationales Dorte Skot-Hansen used to analyze the development of nordic cultural policies, along with the view of art as “l’art pour l’art”, art for its own sake. The conclusion is that the New Labour government made cultural policies for the sake of social development and economic growth, not for the sake of art.

Bibliography: leaves 69-73. / This thesis argues for, citing the example of four novels published at or near to the millennium, the establishment of antirely new genre. But implicit in this is an investigstion into what is meant by term 'genre'. Further the nature of these novels makes central the way in which these novels should be grouped over the grouping itself.

This essay has been written with the aim to investigate how the cultural-historical environments and ancient monuments in Nacka county (southeast of Stockholm, Sweden) are being cared for regarding proactive measures to conteract the negative effects climate change will have on them. The essay also investigates what the Swedish laws and regulations demand of counties concerning proactive and reactive measures against negative climate change effects on cultural-historical environments and ancient monuments and how climate change will affect Nacka county and its cultural-historical environments and ancient monuments.The investigation has been carried out by means of literature studies and one interview during May-July 2020.The investigation shows that Nacka county has general plans for their routine care for the cultural-historical environments and ancient monuments, but there are no plans or proactive measures taken to prevent or mitigate the negative effects of climate change.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka på vilket sätt oskuld knyts till respektabilitet för de fyra kvinnliga karaktärerna Cher, Dionne, Tai och Amber i Amy Heckerlings film Clueless från 1995. Såväl Clueless som Jane Austens Emma (som Clueless bygger på) tar upp oskuld och sexualitet som centrala teman. Hur dessa ämnen kan förhålla sig relevanta i nästan tvåhundra år blir intressant ur ett genusvetenskapligt perspektiv då ens sociala status verkar hänga samman med en status som antingen oskuld eller icke-oskuld. Tidigare forskning om Clueless har inte undersökt aspekter av respektabilitet i relation till oskuld. Genom en diskursanalytisk metod undersöks subjektspositioner, utestängningsprocesser och förgivettaganden i sju olika teman: ras, heterosexualitet, åtråvärdhet, omvårdnad, kunskap om sex, klass och ekonomi. Analysen visar hur karaktärernas status som oskulder eller icke- oskulder spelar mindre roll för deras respektabilitet. Snarare är det en heterosexuell läggning, förvärvandet av olika kapitalformer, åtråvärdhet och omvårdnadspraktiker som avgör vem som får bestämma vad som anses respektabelt och inte.

The aim of this study is to examine how the female character Wednesday Addams in the Netflix-series Wednesday is portrayed and if her character reproduces or breaks norms for femininity. Furthermore, the thesis examines which myths and stereotypes are being embodied through Wednesday. The thesis is structured through a case study design and uses semiotic analysis as a method. With the help of the semiotic tools denotation and connotation, 8 episodes of the Netflix-series were analyzed, looking at semiotic resources like attributes, posing, gaze and color. The study relies on a theoretical framework consisting of semiotics, gender theory and various theoretical concepts, such as myths, the gender contract, the performative gender, male gaze, respectability, heteronormativity and stereotypes. The result demonstrates that the Netflix-series Wednesday has made Wednesday's character visible through a femininity that is allowed to be both norm-breaking and normative. Wednesday shows that she is flexible in her representation as a woman. Instead of regarding Wednesdayas an opposite to the male, and what separates her from everyone else, one can argue that her character is questioning and problematizing how a woman should be.
