23	Queer som doujinshi : En fallstudie av Yonezawa Yoshihiro Memorial Library / Queer as doujinshi : A case study of Yonezawa Yoshihiro Memorial Library Watanabe, Yukina January 2017 (has links) This thesis investigates how libraries can build a collection of doujinshi – Japanese fanzines – with a focus on the problematic connection between doujinshi, queer sexualities and pornography. Yonezawa Yoshihiro Memorial Library is one of the few libraries collecting and providing access to doujinshi, including those with extreme pornographic imagery. I conducted qualitative interviews with four library employees to study their views and attitudes towards collection, age regulations, shelving and classification of doujinshi. In addition, I apply queer theory to elucidate how sexual norms are reflected in the library's classification system. Findings show that informants consider the preservation of manga culture as the most important reason to collect doujinshi. Other functions of doujinshi, such as being a way for self-expression without social restrains, are also appreciated. Informants’ attitudes towards collecting and providing access to extreme pornographic doujinshi are not particularly negative, instead resisting censorship, but the fact that the library has extreme pornographic doujinshi is taken up as a reason for the library' s age limit. Moreover, I observe sexual norms surrounding women’s consumption of pornography and that women should link sex and love, and a lack of critical perspectives on such issues. Lastly, informants were open for changes of the library’s classification system for doujinshi, but showed reluctance toward user influence, such as social tagging. This is a two years master’s thesis in library and information science.

26	Dear Creativity, I´ll do my best / The endless choices of creativity Therése, Grabs January 2020 (has links) I mitt kandidatprojekt har jag arbetat med temat ”att utvecklas som kreatör” och hur man som skapare konstant ifrågasätter sig själv men också blir kritiserad av sin omgivning. Det handlar om att fortsätta följa sin passion trots osäkerhet eller ångest. Som kreatör ställs vi konstant inför val, stora som små, i vårt skapande och det är lätt att bli överväldigad av alla oskrivna regler, men också alla vägar och möjligheter. Jag har valt att gestalta detta med en animerad kortfilm. Att projektet tog form just inom filmmediet beror på att min största inspiration kommer från filmens värld och jag har länge varit intresserad av att utforska animation som berättarform. Jag har huvudsakligen jobbat digitalt, dels för att jag vill utveckla mina kunskaper inom det digitala, men också för att det under omständigheterna med den pågående Coronapandemin var mer praktiskt när jag inte hade lika fri tillgång till skolans utrustning som i vanliga fall. animation creativity strings stringplayer inkblood fine art art anxiety passion feather doors portals anime cartoon comics frames violin nerd geek lindsey stirling animation fonfe therese grabs kreativitet film violin portar fjäder anime lindsey stirling ångest passion illustration digital analog digital illustration målning episk drama dörrar trådar den röda tråden nörd konst finkultur fulkultur vilse Visual Arts Bildkonst Design Design
