This thesis examines the history of the cultural heritage site of Eketorp, a prehistoric ring-fort, on the island of Öland, Sweden. The archaeological excavations at Eketorp, which began in 1964, lasted for a decade and soon turned into one of the largest archaeological research projects in Sweden. The scale and the implementation of the excavations, as an interdisciplinary and international research project, fostered a whole generation of archaeologists and resulted in numerous research publications. After the excavations the archaeological site was transformed into a full-scale archaeological reconstruction by the Swedish National Heritage Board. Since the mid-1980s the site has been a popular tourist attraction and open-air museum. The history of the site itself connects to several academic fields, including archaeology, history of archaeology, cultural heritage and museum studies. Through Ludwig Fleck’s concept thought collective and Donna Haraway’s situated knowledge, which are used as analytical tools, the aim of this thesis is to explore how these different fields interacted throughout the history of Eketorp. Further, the analytical tools are used to highlight how these interactions have generated notions of time, space, and gender. The study takes an interdisciplinary approach with the history of Eketorp analysed in three analytical chapters, each of them with different chronological and empirical focus. First, Eketorp is explored as a contemporary museum space through ethnographic fieldwork. Second, archive material is used to analyse how the archaeological excavation and the following archaeological reconstruction were conducted during the 1960s and onwards. Third, scientific texts are used to analyse how interpretations of Eketorp as a prehistoric site has changed. The concluding chapter integrates the results of the three chapters in order to critically examine how notions of time, space and gender interconnect between these fields. Illustrated by a wide chronological and interdisciplinary approach, the central argument of the thesis is thus that the Eketorp thought collective and thought style, intimately connected to hierarchies in academic practice, were created, performed, and maintained through several scientific and heritage institutions.

Det här kandidatarbetet handlar om konst & design och hur verktygen vid skapandet av dessa påverkar både arbetsprocess och resultat. För att undersöka detta analyseras konstverk från tre olika historiska konst- & designrörelser samt den värld som upphovspersonerna bakom dessa levde i när de skapade dessa. Denna forskning applicerades sedan i skapandet av en motion graphic som tolkar dessa konstverk med moderna verktyg. I resultat- & diskussionsdelen diskuteras den påverkan som verktygen hade på både arbetsprocess och resultat. / This bachelor’s thesis is about art & design and the way the tools used creating these impacts both the work process and the finished piece. To research this, works of art and design from three historic art & design movements and the world the creators of these lived in are analyzed. This research was then applied to the making of a motion graphic which interprets these works using modern tools. In the conclusion & discussion part of the thesis the studied impact is then discussed.

In contrast, feminist epistemology defends the production of situated knowledge, seeking a partial and critical positioning. In this thesis, I discuss knowledge about language produced under a feminist standpoint, assuming that knowledge is produced not only in the academy, but also by counter-hegemonic, minority, or minoritized groups. To this end, I analyze the texts of a group of feminist women on the internet, named Blogueiras Feministas, to identify the language conceptions that are at stake in their concerns, by studying their texts posted from October 2010 to October 2011, totaling 365 posts and 54 authors. The modern science paradigm, constituted from the XVI-XVII centuries on as the only legitimate form of producing knowledge, was based on the notion of scientific rationality, achieved by means of a strict set of methodological rules and epistemological principles, as well as on political and economic factors, in which the process of colonization played a fundamental role. In this thesis, I use the metaphor of vision to explain this paradigm, because modern science lies on this metaphor and on the idea of the specific ways in which the eye is directed toward the object to differ from other forms of knowledge production. Furthermore, modern science paradigm defends that, while anyone can see an object, only the trained scientist can interpret what is seen. I contrast this paradigm with the idea of an embodied, marked, partial, limited, non-transcendent, i.e. situated nature of vision. Hegemonic Linguistics was established as a science during the development of nation-states, the consolidation of science itself, and the emergence of the sociological subject. Based on dictionaries and introduction guides, which limit the field and are used in the education and training of new scientists, I explore Linguistics, passing through its legitimate areas and authors verifying, precisely, how the history of this discipline is presented, which language conceptions are emphasized in the official context and what kind of metalanguage is used. Finally, the analysis of language conceptions displayed in the texts of Blogueiras Feministas indicates that they see language from a discursive perspective and think about language practices from its effects and strategies for possible changes. The main effects identified by Blogueiras Feministas are the naturalization and essentialization of identities; among the strategies of resistance and change they emphasize the need of raising awareness about the inconsistencies of our speech, multiplying discourses and voices, using inclusive language and thinking about the possibilities of producing new meanings. / A ciência que conhecemos hoje se estabeleceu como o paradigma válido da produção do conhecimento apoiando-se sobre os pilares da universalidade, neutralidade e objetividade. Em oposição, a epistemologia feminista defende a produção de saberes localizados, buscando um posicionamento parcial e crítico. Nesta tese, discuto conhecimento sobre linguagem produzido e defendido sob um ponto de vista feminista, partindo do princípio de que o conhecimento não é produzido só na academia, mas de que grupos contra-hegemônicos, minoritários ou minoritarizados, também o produzem. Para tanto, analisei os textos de um grupo de mulheres feministas na internet nomeado Blogueiras Feministas, a fim de identificar as concepções de linguagem que estão em jogo em suas preocupações, por meio da leitura de seus textos, publicados em um site durante o período de outubro de 2010 a outubro de 2011, totalizando 365 posts e 54 autoras. O paradigma moderno da ciência, que se constituiu a partir dos séculos XVI-XVII como a forma válida de produção do conhecimento, baseou-se tanto na noção de racionalidade científica, alcançada por meio de um conjunto rígido de regras metodológicas e princípios epistemológicos, quanto em questões políticas e econômicas, sendo o processo de colonização fundamental. Nesta tese, explico esse paradigma a partir da metáfora da visão, pois a ciência moderna diferencia-se das outras formas de saber pela maneira como o olhar é dirigido ao objeto e pela defesa de que, enquanto qualquer pessoa pode perceber o objeto, só o olhar treinado da/o cientista pode interpretá-lo; essa noção contraponho com a ideia de uma visão corporificada, marcada, parcial, limitada, não transcendente, ou seja, localizada. A Linguística, enquanto ciência, estabeleceu-se num período de desenvolvimento dos Estados nação, da consolidação da própria ciência, e do surgimento da noção de sujeito sociológico. Partindo do que dizem os dicionários e manuais introdutórios, que delimitam o campo de estudo e formam os/as cientistas iniciantes, busco percorrer os caminhos da Linguística, passando por suas correntes e autores/as legitimados e observando, justamente, como essa história é contada, quais concepções de língua e linguagem aparecem no contexto oficial e qual metalinguagem é utilizada para lidar com a língua(gem). Finalmente, a análise das concepções de linguagem presentes nos textos das Blogueiras Feministas indica que elas veem a linguagem a partir de uma perspectiva discursiva e pensam as práticas linguageiras a partir de seus efeitos e das estratégias para possíveis mudanças. Os principais efeitos identificados pelas Blogueiras Feministas são a naturalização e essencialização das identidades; dentre as estratégias de resistência e mudança encontram-se a necessidade de se despertar a consciência para as incoerências de nossos discursos e de se multiplicar os discursos e as vozes, além da necessidade de se pensar no uso de uma linguagem inclusiva e as possibilidades de ressignificação.

Jag vill med det här kandidatarbetet undersöka om Aristoteles retoriska element är relevanta idag i reklam på digitala plattformar. Hans element är ethos, logos och pathos. Ethos handlar om karaktärer, t.ex. att en person kan övertyga med ett leende. Personen verkar trevlig när hon eller han ler. Logos är information och argument, både det som är skrivet i text och vad bilder berättar och även vad typografi och färger kommunicerar till oss. I min undersökning använder jag situerad kunskap som metod. För att situera mig så analyserar jag några hemsidor, jag intervjuar tre personer och frågade då dem om de övertygas av hemsidorna och jag ska läsa texter om retorik och visuell kommunikation. Orsaken till att jag använder denna metoden är för att reklamen ska vara accountable. Med andra ord. reklamen behöver vara användbar. Den ska övertyga konsumenterna. I min undersökning kom jag fram till att mycket information och bilder på företagets sortiment och på karaktärer när de ler, har arbetskläder eller är med djur övertygar. Typografin på en logotyp till en matbutik ska se fint ut och text ska vara lättläst. Den rätta färgen till en matbutik är grön på grund av att den associerar till naturen och en del mat är grön. En hel del mat kommer ifrån naturen. / In this Bachelor thesis I want to find out if Aristoteles rhetorical elements still is relevant in advertising on digital platforms. His element is Ethos, Pathos och Logos. Ethos is about the characters. For example, a person can convince with a smile. The person seem to be nice when she or he smile. Logos is information and arguments, both what is written in text and what pictures told us and also what the typography and colours communicate to us. In my investigation I use situated knowledge as a method. For situating I make some analysis of websites, I interviewing three persons and then ask if they were convinced of the websites and I read some text about rhetoric and visual communication. The reason why I use this method is because the advertising have to be accountable. With other words, the advertising have to be useful. It have to convince the consumers. In my survey I found out that Aristoteles rhetorical elements are used today and that they convince. A lot of information and pictures on the company's range and on characters when they smile, have fatigues or is with animals convince. The typography on a logotype to a foodstore have to be nicely and the text have to be legible. The right colour to a foodstore is green because is associates to the nature and some food is green. A lot of food come from the nature.

Abstrakt Detta är ett arbete med fokus på kroppen, kroppen i vår verkliga värld. Hur kroppen rör sig i förhållande till hur den ser ut och hur kroppen rör sig i film och animation. Undersökningen syftar till att närmare se hur större företag har använt sig av kroppen i skapande av animationer och filmer. Undersökningen visar jämförelsen mellan hur företag har använt sig av kroppen för att skapa känslor och uttryck samt hur de använt sig av rörelser. Med hjälp av detta skapas det en gestaltning bestående av animationer och filmat material där kroppen är i fokus. Begrepp som matter matters (Barad. 2007) och mimesis (Olofsson. Olsson. Sörbom. u.å) hjälper oss att urskilja vilka små detaljer som gör skillnad och som har betydelse för att efterlikna det som ögat ser av kroppen i verkliga livet. Olika metoder för analys används för att analysera och granska filmer för att ta reda på hur skaparna använt sig av kroppen för att sedan föra det vidare i gestaltandet. Vid redigering har man använt metoder för att jämföra animationer genom att placera dem på eller bredvid varandra. Begreppen har hjälpts åt att skapa det vi skapat och deras betydelse av helheten. En avslutande del som diskuterar och sammanfattar vad undersökningen kommit fram till och vad gestaltningen blivit. Vad forskningen har betytt under undersökningen och vad som har använts och inte använts. Nyckelord: Accountability, mimesis, situated kunskap, matter matters. / Abstract This is a work with focus on the body, the body in our reality and how it moves compared to how it looks and moves in animation and film. An examination which have been done, focusing on bigger companies and how they have used the body in their animations and films. It also compares these companies and how they used the body to create feelings, expressions and how they have used movement. This will lead to a design with the body in focus consisting of some animations and video clips. Words like matter matters (Barad. 2007) and mimesis (Olofsson. Olsson. Sörbom. u.å) to see what details that make a difference, importance and to mimic what the eye sees of the body in reality. With help of using analysing methods to review films to see what the creators used of the body to later on use it to advantage in our own design. With some help from methods that tries out and compare animations and filmed materials, putting them together, beside each other and on top on each other. How words have helped us to create what we have created and their meaning of it all. An ending part that discuss and summarize what the examination have come to and what the design turned into. What the research meant during the examination and what has been used and not been used. Keywords: Accountability, mimesis, situated knowledge, matter matters.

I detta kandidatarbete har vi undersökt hur ett spels narrativa återspelbarhet påverkas av en karaktärs reflektion av spelvärlden genom att skapa en gestaltning som fokuserar på relationen mellan världen, karaktären och spelaren.  Genom att bygga ett narrativ med hjälp av existerande narrativa strukturer, har vi försett oss själva med en testmark där vi kan utföra vår undersökning och implementera olika metoder för att studera dess resultat.  Utifrån Donna J. Haraways teori om situerad kunskap har vi undersökt narrativets återspelbarhet från världen, karaktären samt spelarens perspektiv. Detta har sedan lett till en förståelse om narrativ återspelbarhet inom spel, och hur perspektiv och kontext påverkar berättelsen och dess situering. I vår gestaltning skapar vi återspelbarhet genom att driva ett falskt narrativ som sedan tillåter spelaren ett eget perspektiv och narrativ utifrån hens egna tolkning. / In this bachelor thesis, we’ve researched how a game’s narrative replayability is affected by a character’s reflection of the gameworld through the creation of a design - which focuses on the relationship between the world, the characters, and the player. By building a narrative with the help of existing narrative structures, we’ve provided ourselves with a testing ground where we can research our implementation of different methods to study the results. Through Donna J. Haraway’s theory about situated knowledge we’ve examined the narrative replayability from the perspective of the game world, the characters and the player. This has resulted in an understanding of a narrative’s replayability within games, and how perspective and context affect the story and how it’s situated. In our demo we create replayability by driving a false narrative that allows the player their own perspective depending on their own interpretation.

In August 2014 a development strategy for Hagalund, a million program area situated in Solna, was published. The strategy argues that a densification of the area would increase the local supply of services and cultural activities and that the existing needs of investment in the urban environment is dependent on the revenues that new housing would provide. The report proposes a densification of the area up to 1800 new apartments. The current housing stock is 2100 dwellings. I argue that the development strategy is not based on the needs of the existing Hagalund and its residents, but rather tries to meet the economic interests of property owners, the municipality and the imagined needs of a future population. In this diploma work I design an alternative participatory strategy to identify needs and potentials of an existing built environment and its social community, since I see a lot of potentials and qualitites, rather than problems, in Hagalund. I have chosen to value the situated knowledge of the current community by collecting opinions and reactions from people I have met during my thesis work and formulated them into an alternative future for Hagalund where the existing built environment and its social community are valued as key elements in a more socially sustainable future for Hagalund. / I augusti 2014 publicerades en utvecklingsstrategi för Hagalund, ett miljonprogramsområde i Solna, med en föreslagen förtätning av området på upp till 1800 nya lägenheter. Stadsdelen har under de senaste åren nedprioriterats av kommunen med bland annat flera nedstängda skolor som följd. Strategin konstaterar att antalet boende i området måste öka för att öka tillgången till service och kulturella aktiviteter, samt att nya bostäder krävs för att finansiera upprustningen av den offentliga miljön. Dialogen med hagalundarna lyfts återkommande fram som underlag till förslaget i utvecklingsstrategin, vilket jag tidigt ställde mig kritisk till. Hur kan en upprustning av stadsmiljön samt behovet av en skola kräva 4000 nya grannar? Jag menar att utvecklingsstrategin inte utgår från hagalundarnas och Hagalunds behov, utan att den försöker möta fastighetsägares, kommunens och en eventuell framtida befolknings behov. Mitt examensarbete utgår istället från behoven i, och potentialen av, det befintliga Hagalund och dess ’situerade kunskap’. Under mitt examensarbetet har jag samlat in synpunkter och reaktioner från människor jag mött och formulerat dessa i en alternativ framtid för Hagalund, där den befintliga byggda miljön och dess sociala gemenskap värderas som viktiga pusselbitar i en mer socialt hållbar framtid för området.

Rural place is often overlooked in interaction design research. This thesis is centered around an analog interaction between humans and a 35 ton stone in a danish forest, on the rural island of Bornholm. With a methodological approach influenced by Donna Haraway's essay 'Situated Knowledges' the author approaches her site-specific topic both as a local, a tourist and a researcher. The thesis offers a close study of the interaction with the stone, and explains how this natural occurring interaction, has physically shaped the landscape around it, but also reveals the curation imposed upon rural place and and how this curation affects our sense of place. The researcher suggests that counter-curations can be used as a method for site-specific interaction designers, and exemplifies this by curating a natural site as well as a rural village site. The stone in the forest opens up for a project about the multiple identities of rural place and how theses are shaped in deep intertwining and tension between the past and present, human and nature.

Mitt kandidatarbete går ut på att fastställa om det finns något samband mellan hur vi relaterar till färger i förhållande till platser och hur mycket våra tidigare erfarenheter som påverkar sambandet. Med hjälp av Donna Haraway´s arbeten om begreppet situerad kunskap och begreppet diffraktion av Karen Barad. I detta kandidatarbete används diffraktion som ett verktyg i skapandeprocess. Färg är någonting som vi ser hela tiden i vårt dagliga liv. Därför kopplar vårt minne ihop färg på både ett medvetet och omedvetet sätt, så som till platser, företagslogotyper, mat, hustyper, bilar och blommor. Eftersom mitt arbete handlar mycket om bilder, och färger, har jag använt mig av ett analysverktyg som heter Semiotisk analys, där jag får hjälp att tolka resultatet av färg och form i olika bilder. Slutsatsen kommer att handla om hur mycket tidigare erfarenheter kan påverka visuella arbetsminnet dvs. associationen mellan olika färger och olika platser, mycket, lite eller obetydligt. Resultatet kommer förmodligen att landa i någon form av påverkan. / With this Bachelor thesis, I want to enlighten if there are some connection between how we relate to colours in relations to separate places and how mush our previous experiences interfere with this relation. With the support of Donna Haraway´s works with the concept situated knowledge and with the concept diffraction of Karen Barad. In this Bachelor thesis, I use the concept diffraction as a tool in the design process. Colour is something as we see around us all the time in daily life. Therefor our memory connects colours together in a consciousness way and a unconsciousness way with a lot of different things as Places, Company Logos, food, different kind of Houses, Cars and Flowers among others. Because of my Bachelor thesis is about Pictures and colours, have I used a tool for analyses called Semiotic analyse, with this tool I got some support in the way of interpretation of colours and shapes in different Pictures. The conclusion is about how mush previous experience are going to affect the visual memory that is to say association between colours and separate places, a lot, little or almost nothing. The result is probably going to be some kind of influence.
