Till naturen : Ekokritiska trådar i Thomas Tidholms författarskap / To nature : Ecocritical threads in the writings of Thomas TidholmÖstling, Marie January 2021 (has links)
In the following essay, I examine the ecocritical aspects of the writings of Thomas Tidholm, Swedish poet and children’s author. I argue for the existence of “green threads” that permeate the authorship, and analyse them through three thematic chapters where several of Tidholm’s texts, for children and adults, are juxtaposed in order to expand, contrast and deepen one another. The themes are: approaching the other, language and humanity and parts and unity. In my analysis I show that Tidholm continues to return to these themes throughout many different texts, exploring the difficulties and possibilities in human relationships to each otherand to nature. I conclude that even though Tidholm questions whether we truly can come close to, communicate with and fully understand others (humans or otherwise), he seems to hold the conviction that it is vitally important that we try. While the essay belongs in the field of ecocriticism, my working approach has been that of ordinary language philosophy as defined by literary scholar Toril Moi, following the works of Wittgenstein, Austin and Cavell. Thus, the essay is written in a spirit of acklowledgement rather than scepticism – my aim has been to bring out important aspects of the texts and show that, when read together, those aspects are enhanced. I find this especially important since the readerships of poetry and picture books do not always overlap. Furthermore, I suggest that Thomas Tidholm can be seen as a contemporary thinker whose ideas question and seek alternatives to the individualism of capitalist modern society. Keywords: ecocritisism, Thomas Tidholm, nature, environment, language

Confusio hos AugustinusBårman, Erik January 2024 (has links)
Denna uppsats börjar i tänkandet hos Augustinus, som förutom med hans egen definition av tänkandet som ett samlande också ser tänkandet som ett välvande [volvere] och ett fusionerande [fusio]. Tänkandet som ett välvande sker genom att ord revolverar [revolvere]. Detta leder till upptäckten av att vara involverad [involvere] i världen. Eftersom man är involverad vill man försöka evolvera [evolvere] det i vilket man är involverad: strukturen är volvere–revolvere–involvere–evolvere. Detta hänger samman med varats utgjutning [diffusio] som ingjuts [infusio] i människorna, varför människan ur förskingring vill fusionera [fusio] sin verklighet. Ur detta uppstår confusio. Hos Augustinus bestäms människan av ett tredelat confusio: kosmologiskt som upphov, biologiskt som skam och kognitivt som förvirring. / The following thesis takes as its point of departure the implicit Augustinian view of thinking. Besides his own definition of thinking as a ”collecting” in the Confessions (and his view of thinking in On the Trinity), Augustine also suggests thinking as volving [volvere]. This kind of thinking is structured by words revolving [revolvere] in the mind. This, is suggested, by necessity leads to an involvement [involvere] in the world. The fact of being involved in the world also means striving to evolve [evolvere] that in which you are involved: the structure is volvere–revolvere–involvere–evolvere. This, in turn, is due to ”being” being diffused [diffusio], which then is infused [infusio] into human beings. As a result, the human being tries by thinking to fuse [fusio] reality from dispersion into unity. From this, confusion [confusio] emerges. Here, the structure is diffusio–infusio–fusio–confusio. The aim of this thesis is to envelope and place what for Augustine is predominantly a negative notion of confusio in the right manner as a generative and dynamic notion, structured in a threefold manner: cosmologically as origin, biologically as shame, cognitively as confusion. These being three aspects defining the ego.
