The purpose of this thesis is to determine how much the Swedish morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter and the evening newspaper Aftonbladet wrote about refugees and how they represented them during refugee crisis in September 2015 compared with when the border control began in January 2016. The purpose is to investigate how the news selection is been made, what events surrounding refugees became news and how they are described To be able to answer these questions I have combined two methods. The quantitative method used to observe how many articles were written about refugees, count and analize the number of the articles each newspaper produced during the mentioned period. In the qualitative section the rhetorical method by Karlberg & Mral's model (1998) ethos, pathos and logos concepts been used. In order to understand how the writer structured the text to convince the audience. The findnings of this study has been compared by each other and the reulst has showen a compiling differences and similarities between Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. Both newspapers have different flow of news articles during different periods. At some stag in the refugee crisis period in September 2015 Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet has shown solidarity with the refugees, but during the border control period in January 2016 both newspapers monitoring and representation of refugees was not as positive and as much as during the refugee crises.

The purpose of this document is to investigate the influence of Bela Bartok's music, specifically the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, on George Crumb's Music for a Summer Evening. It concentrates on two specific areas: 1) the role of symmetry and 2) instrumentation. These two items were stressed during an interview with Crumb by the author, which is appended to the paper.

The twelve patterns presented in this collection represent the period 1920 through 1945. It is in no way a complete study of the period, but a representation of garments throughout this period in sketch and pattern form. The patterns presented are complete working patterns in full scale with no seams allowed. The garments have been dated according to research into the period. In addition to the pattern, sketch, and description of each garment, construction notes are included to aid in the building of these garments. Hopefully this collection will be useful for theatre costuming or where ever there is a need for authentic patterns of the period 1920 through 1945. The collection of patterns will be housed in the Department of Theatre's costume shop. The garments studied in this collection were obtained from the Virginia Commonwealth University Apparel Museum, Fashion Design Department. My sincere thanks to Alex Bodea, Department Chairman for his help and support.

<p>Trovärdighet är inte ett givet ting inom samhällets ramar. Det krävs en ömsesidig relationsuppbyggnad mellan parterna. Syftet var att belysa tidningsutgivarnas legitimitet i förhållande till innehållet i tidningen. Studien genomfördes med kvalitativ metod och avsåg två fallstudieobjekt, en morgontidning och en kvällstidning. Dessa var Göteborgs-Posten och Göteborgs-Tidningen. Teoretiska frågeställningar kring legitimitet var definitionen av legitimitet, påverkan, faktorer för hög respektive låg trovärdighet, nyhetsartiklarnas komponenter samt dagordningsfunktionen. Slutsatsen är att de båda fallstudieobjekten är legitima men på olika sätt. Ett gemensamt element är att varken dagstidningar eller kvällstidningar föreföll tro helt och fullt på "objektiv information".</p><p> </p> / <p>Credibility is not a given thing in society.

The main theoretical issues concerning legitimacy were the definitions of legitimacy, impacts, factors of high and low credibility, news components and agenda setting. The conclusion was that both newspapers shared a degree of legitimacy, but with different implications. Neither the morning nor the evening paper seemed to believe whole-heartedly in objective information.</p>

In this thesis I argue that Cormac McCarthy's 1985 novel Blood Meridian serves as a critique of the American Western mythos by collapsing aspects of myth, ideology, and the sublime into the question of violence's relationship to language. In explicating the novel, I demonstrate how the ironies staged between the character of the kid and the novel's narrator and the ironies represented in the language and characterization of Judge Holden reveal McCarthy's critique by pointing toward the violence inherent in the language of myth. Along with this discussion of myth and ideology, I also analyze how the figuring of violence as sublime in the novel gets coupled with moments where characters exhibit either an unconscious desire for language or a marked absence of language. The significance of these moments, I contend, extends McCarthy's critique of the American mythos by undermining the Western genre's trope of the stoic hero while also exposing the ways in which the novel draws together the nature of language and the nature of violence. Blood Meridian thus serves not as a libratory revisionist critique that seeks to re-write the American mythos but as a much darker meditation on the ubiquity of violence—a violence that manifests itself all too often in textual form. / Graduation date: 2012

Este é um estudo comparativo entre duas áreas de lazer noturno em dois diferentes bairros na cidade de Porto Alegre: o aristocrático Moinhos de Vento e o mais antigo, popular e boêmio – e atualmente na moda – Cidade Baixa. No seu ponto de partida está o interesse em buscar as razões para a migração que vem ocorrendo ultimamente de freqüentadores do bairro Moinhos de Vento para os bares e outros estabelecimentos noturnos na Cidade Baixa. O estudo trabalha simultaneamente com variáveis sociais e espaciais procurando relacionar o perfil socioeconômico de habitués e migrantes com os lugares onde ocorrem a sua interação, bem como os padrões de seu comportamento socioespacial – os lugares que eles tendem a escolher, as razões para isso, se costumam ir sozinhos ou em grupos, se preferem estar dentro ou fora dos bares etc. Com este objetivo foram identificados quatro diferentes subespaços em cada bairro, de acordo com os tipos de lazer, de lugar e de freqüentador que eles têm a oferecer. Os dados empíricos mostram que o perfil socioeconômico, assim como as escolhas e o comportamento socioespacial de habitués e migrantes não são tão diferentes a ponto de provocar a migração do bairro aristocrático Moinhos de Vento para a cena underground da Cidade Baixa. Contudo o grau de homogeneidade quanto às opções de lazer do Moinhos de Vento, comparado à multiplicidade de escolhas na Cidade Baixa, parece indicar a diversidade como principal fator responsável pelo movimento migratório. / This is a comparative study between two areas of night entertainment, located in two very different neigbourhoods in the city of Porto Alegre: the rather aristocratic Moinhos de Vento and the old popular, bohemian, and at the present very fashionable Cidade Baixa. At its starting point lies the interest in looking for the reasons behind the migration of costumers from Moinhos de Vento toward bars and other similar places in Cidade Baixa, that has been taken place of late. The study works with both social and spatial variables, looking for relations between the socio economic profile of habitués and migrants, the spatial settings where their interaction takes place and their patterns of socio-spatial behaviour– which places they tend to choose, the reasons for that, if they use to go there by themselves or in groups, if they like to be inside or outside the bars, and so on. In order to do that four differentiated sub-areas were identified in each neigbourhood, according to the kind of entertainment, locals and types of customers they offer. Data evidence shows that the socioeconomic profile as well as the spatial choices and behaviour of habitués and migrants from both neirbourhoods present no such differences so as to account for the migration from the aristocratic Moinhos de Vento toward the underground scene of Cidade Baixa. Nevertheless, it seems that the degree of homogeneity in the options for entertainment in Moinhos de Vento in comparison to the multiplicity of choices in Cidade Baixa, pointed out to diversity as the possible main factor behind the migratory movement.

Este texto é resultado de encontros. Encontros de sala de aula, encontros de História, encontros de debate, encontros de vidas. Estes encontros produziram novos fios que foram tecendo-se juntos e unindo-se a uma rede que associava questões acerca do cotidiano escolar, do ensino de História, da formação do professor, da escola noturna e da pesquisa em sala de aula. Desejava-se compreender se a escola é um espaçotempo de pesquisa e se os estudantes são estudantes-pesquisadores e os docentes, professores-pesquisadores. Ao final da pesquisa realizada em uma escola noturna da rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro, pudemos compartilhar experiências vividas no cotidiano de seus praticantes e discutir se a escola proporciona ações de pesquisa entre os estudantes e se a mesma busca desenvolver atividades que partam dos interesses do grupo discente. A escola é um lugar de pesquisa e nós somos estudantes-pesquisadores e professores-pesquisadores mesmo que, muitas vezes, a escola, da forma como está organizada e sofrendo pressões internas e externas diversas, como, por exemplo, a falha formação de professores e as políticas públicas de ensino, negligencie os interesses dos estudantes e que os mesmos não consigam reconhecer-se enquanto condutores de seu processo de aprendizagem, estudantes e professores pesquisadores. É a experiência da pesquisa, de atividades que estimulem o estudante a fazer escolhas, buscar informações, analisá-las, criticá-las, organizar o seu pensamento, apropriar-se dos conhecimentos reunidos e colocar-se diante da sociedade, modificando-se, que formará os cidadãos críticos que a escola e o ensino de História devem auxiliar a form / This text is the result of some meetings. Classroom meetings, History meetings, discussion meetings, life meetings. Those meetings produced some new threads, which have woven together and joined a net that associated questions about school routine, History teaching, teachers training, evening school and research in the classroom. The aim was to understand if school is a research time-space and if pupils are researcher-students and also if teachers are researcher-teachers. By the conclusion of the research, developed in an evening public school in Rio de Janeiro, we could share the daily experiences of its practitioners and discuss if school provides research actions among students, and also if it tries to develop activities from the pupils interest. The school is a research place and we are researcher-students and researcher-teachers, even though, in many circumstances, school, as it is organized, under various internal and external pressures, such as, for instance, the failure in teachers training and the teaching public politics, denies pupils interests. In this kind of organization, students are not able to recognize themselves as conductors of their own learning-teaching process, researcher students and teachers. It is the research experience, from activities which stimulate students to make choices, search for information, analyze and criticize them, organize their thought, appropriate themselves of the gathered acknowledgment and have a position in society, changing themselves, the final result will be the critical citizens, who should be educated under the assistance of school and History teaching.
