A case study was done on visualizations of climate change from a web page concerning climate change published by the Swedish newspaper <em>Expressen </em>and from the American photographer Gary Braasch’s web page “World view of global warming”.

The nature of climate change being slow and hard to spot on an individual level has been highlighted as a cause of both of these difficulties.

33	Sigrid Hjerténs och Isaac Grünewalds strandbilder år 1917-1918. : En bildsemiotisk analys ur ett kritiskt vithetsperspektiv. Kristensson, Maria January 2024 (has links) Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska en ofta förbisedd genre hos två av de första svenska modernisterna Sigrid Hjertén och Isaac Grünewald, nämligen de strandbilder konstnärsparet skapade i samband med sina sommarsemestrar i Danmark åren 1917–1918. Hur skildrar konstnärerna sitt bad och strandliv och avviker dessa bilder från konstnärernas övriga produktion från samma tidpunkt? Uppsatsens metod utgår från C.S. Peirces semiotiska begrepp ikon, index och symbol. Ett annat syfte är att ur ett kritiskt vithetsperspektiv studera om de valda verken, Blixten och Den gröna badvagnen av Isaac Grünewald samt Badscen och Komposition av Sigrid Hjertén, upprättar eller reproducerar vithet som norm? Resultatet visar att så sker, både i verk, titlar och texter. Resultatet visar även att strandbilderna följer samma mönster som konstnärernas övriga produktion. I uppsatsen presenteras en ny tolkning av symbolerna i vissa av Isaac Grünewalds verk mellan åren 1914–1919, baserad på inflytande från baltiska folksånger (daina) och det politiska läget i ett sönderfallande Tsarryssland. Inflytandet från läraren Henri Matisse samt konststilen expressionismen syns tydligt hos båda konstnärerna. semiotic critical whiteness perspective Sigrid Hjertén Isaac Grünewald bildsemiotik kritiskt vithetsperspektiv Charles Sanders Peirce Görel Cavalli-Björkman Orvar Löfgren Per I Gedin Jeff Werner Richard Dyer vithetsstudier Ludwig Qvarnström Michel Eugéne Chevreul Henri Matisse Den gröna badvagnen Blixten friluftsideal rasbiologi parasoll expressionism kosmopolitism primitivism Fanö Gilleleje baltisk Det sjungande trädet daina Krisjanis Baron Michael Strmiska Den röd och vita hästen Kosacken gobeläng Annika Ekdahl Tobias Hübinette Irena Pundure Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst Arts Konst Art History Konstvetenskap
