Thesis concerns about ethical heritage of the holocaust education in projects which are realized by KreBul, o.s. In theoretical part, the multicultural education and of present world was chracterized as a world of meeting different cultures; it is focused on the issue of the Jewish genocide in World War II. In the second stage of theoretical part, there are introduced particular activities of KreBul, o.s., which are oriented on the holocaust education in the spirit of multicultural enlightenment. Perception and understanding of events linked with the holocaust with a focus on the classification of lectural activities is considered in practical part of the thesis. Viewpoint of young people on the theme of the holocaust is gained by interpretation and analysis of individual answers of respondents; particulary the ethical viewpoint on education about events from the end of World War II and perception of some ethical categories (evil, suffering).

À Zabbar, un village maltais du Nord-Est, la banda Maria Mater Gratiae et la banda San Mikiel, rivales depuis leur fondation, en 1883, sont intégrées dans la vie villageoise et animent la fête patronale de Santa Maria Mater Gratiae, tous les ans, le 8 septembre. La musique des bandas – des marches – est une musique populaire, festive, religieuse et écrite. Elle ne joue pas seulement un rôle décoratif ou d’utilité ni de stricte nécessité sociale, elle constitue un véritable fait social total. Elle s’inscrit dans une pratique collective du quotidien et produit des sociabilités multiples, des échanges, des univers sonores, un imaginaire musical riche en mouvement. La première partie de cette thèse, d’un caractère ethnographique, décrit le contexte musical du village, en mettant l’accent sur les bandas, leur siège – le kazin –, leur histoire, leur rôle dans le contexte musical maltais. Dans une deuxième partie, la musique des bandas se révèle être au centre d’échanges - des musiciens et des partitions – et de rivalités dans l’espace villageois et de l’île. Enfin, après une description de la musique dans la fête et une étude comparée qui montre l’origine même de ces formations dans la double histoire des orchestres de cuivre et d’harmonie, une dernière partie est consacrée à l’analyse musicale et a pour but de découvrir la logique de ces musiques paraliturgiques / In Zabbar, a village in north-east Malta, two bandas, Maria Mater Gratiae and San Mikiel, have been rivals since they were founded in 1883. They are part and parcel of village life and bring life to the Santa Maria Mater Gratiae village festival each year, on the 8th of September. The music of bandas, of marches, is a popular, festive, religious, written music. Its role is neither decorative nor utilitarian, nor is it a strict social necessity, it is an actual complete social fact. It is part of a collective pratice in daily life and produces multiple sociabilities, exchanges, musical worlds, an imaginary musical universe full of movement. The first part of this thesis, which is ethnographic, describes the musical context of the village, drawing attention to the bandas, their seats (or kazin), their history, the role they play in the Maltese musical context. In the second part, banda music is discovered to be central to exchanges (musicians and music scores) and rivalries within the village space and the island itself. Then comes a description of the music within the festival and a comparative study meant to show how the bandas found their origins in the history of brass bands and orchestras. Finally, a last part is dedicated to musical analysis and aims at discovering the logic within those paraliturgical musics.

This paper, then, purposes to examine these two characteristics of Styron's novel form--structure and point of view--as they are handled in his major works, the novels Lie Down in Darkness and Set This House on Fire, and the novella The Long March.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur karaktären Amy March porträtterats i olikaadaptioner av Little Women. Utifrån Eders karaktärsklocka med ett fokus på fiktiv existensoch symptom analyseras fyra versioner, de från 1933, 1949, 1994 och 2019. Genom att utgåfrån ett genusperspektiv undersöks även hur tiden varje adaption gjorts under formatkaraktären. Resultatet av analysen visar att de två tidigare adaptionerna följer merkonventionella genrekonventioner där Jo står i fokus. De två senare adaptionerna ger merplats åt Amy och ger en mer nyanserad bild av karaktären. Dessutom för de uppmärksamhetentill den verklighet som kvinnor levde i under 1800-talet och har tydliga feministiska budskap.

abstract: Lu Pei (b. 1956) is a celebrated Chinese American composer who currently serves as a composition professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. His work is known for its varied use of Chinese folk tunes. He lived in the United States a long time, which cultivated within him abundant Western musical influences. The sound of multi-ethnic elements is greatly reflected in his own music. Writing an opera has always been his ultimate dream as a composer, and after many years of work, the opera The Third of March was completed and premiered in 2018 in Guangxi. It has received wide acclaim and has been a favorite of younger listeners. Lu Pei aims to bring young people to modern music and the Chinese opera, not only using traditional Chinese musical elements, but also adopts “reinvented” modern Western musical styles, giving a new identity to the Chinese opera is the main foci of The Third of March. To prepare for my performer’s guide to The Third of March, I will discuss Lu Pei’s inspirations from the Guangxi Song Fairs, and the music and culture of the Zhuang people surrounding the date in the Chinese lunar calendar, March Third. For Westerners unfamiliar with Lu Pei’s music, I will briefly introduce the compositional blending of Western and Chinese musical styles with a section about Chinese composers active in the United States, Chen Yi (b. 1953), and Tan Dun (b. 1957). I will also include a brief outline of the history of Chinese opera development, and Lu Pei’s compositional concepts and the background of the opera The Third of March will be discussed. My performer’s guide, the primary focus of this project, will begin by stressing Lu Pei’s adoption of different Chinese folk songs and Western compositional elements. These techniques clearly gave the piece a unique stylistic identity. I will give a brief overview of the Chinese language diction in International Phonetic Alphabet. Finally, the qualities of the main arias in the opera, and some of the Chinese operatic techniques for singers, and their special effects, will be explored. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och analysera hur kejsarpingviner representeras i naturfilmerna March of the Penguins (2005) och Snow Chick: A Penguin's Tale (2015). Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på hur föreställningar om genus och mänskliga normer om familjestrukturer syns i filmerna samt hur kejsarpingvinernas relation och beteenden till varandra representeras. Vi använder genus som den teoretiska utgångspunkten i uppsatsen. De filmer som analyseras är March of the Penguins och Snow Chick: A Penguin’s Tale. Vi analyserar filmerna utifrån Roland Barthes semiotiska teori genom begreppen denotation och konnotation. Resultatet av analysen visar att de två filmerna representerar pingvinerna på liknande sätt, genom att tillskriva förmänskligande egenskaper och beteenden på djuren utifrån föreställningar om genus och mänskliga normer om familjestrukturer. Resultat av analysen visar främst att filmerna endast skildrar det heterosexuella förhållandet och den traditionella kärnfamiljen.

Pride Marches are usually considered as the most important manifestations of LGBTI activism and politics, either as festive and commercial celebrations or protests against violations of human rights of the LGBTI population. The first BiH Pride March from September 2019 successfully took the form of the latter, under heavy security measures and without any incidents in Sarajevo. Bosnia is regarded as a highly patriarchal country with strong homophobia and structural discrimination towards its minorities and marginalized groups. In that context, the Pride March is the most visible expression of LGBTI struggles for social recognition and acceptance. It also illustrates the status of human rights in BiH and represents a form of symbolic politics concerning the EU. This study aims to examine how the event was organized, how it indicated the human rights of LGBTI persons in the country, and what was the influence of Western Embassies and international organizations in BiH on its preparation and staging. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the organizers, the attendees, activists, and members of the LGBTI community in the country; 11 in total. The analysis shows a connection between the egalitarian Organizing Committee (activists/individuals) and the March´s claim for equality of LGBTI people in BiH society, including a correlation between the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and discrimination of LGBTI persons in BiH. The analysis also shows strong cooperation between the organizers and the international community in the country. The study concludes the March being organized as a collaborative and a multi-level project, indicating the discrimination and homophobia through additional security costs imposed on the organizers. Finally, the study finds the international community´s efforts as co-decisive for March´s success.

The respective master's thesis examines the relationship between frames and narratives and how they resonate with images on social media. In the present thesis I research how Israel Defense Forces framed the protests in Gaza also known as the Great March of Return from 30 March 2018 to 30 March of 2019 on Twitter. While analyzing the twitter account of Israel Defense Forces, I apply Entman's (1993) elements of framing and identify broader strategic narratives that Israel currently employs. The broader strategic narratives include "Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East"; "Israel as a startup nation" and "Israel as the leader in combating Islamic terrorism". In the theoretical part I also reflect on previous research and studies engaging with social media and its use by militaries. In the analytical part I identify individual frames that Israel Defense Forces have repeatedly employed during the protests in the respective timeframe. Each frame is accompanied by visual content and if available by the strategic narratives.

This essay focuses on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women as a feminist novel and explores the representations of feminisms in the text. First, I argue Little Women is a novel that presents writing as feminist practice from a Künstlerroman perspective, which highlights Jo March's subversive feminism in the time. Next the essay shows how Jo’s gender fluidity helps her reconcile/negotiate her artistic aspirations and social expectations as part of her creative path. Finally, my essay also goes beyond Jo March's character to show how minor characters like the forgotten Beth March and emerging artist Amy March are a reminder of the text’s Künstlerroman focus, how patriarchy attempts to erase women like Beth who do not seem to fit into the stereotypes of the time due to their sickness or gender.
