In this essay I make a comprehensive presentation of Après la finitude by Quentin Meillassoux. The basic concepts of the book are introduced and the main lines of arguments are exposed. The focus lies on the relationship between science and philosophy, understood on the basis of a presumed conflict between on the one hand what Meillassoux calls the ancestral statements of science and on the other what he calls the correlationism of modern philosophy. Finally, I discuss the response of two prominent scholars of continental philosophy, Martin Hägglund and Catherine Malabou, to the ideas developed in Après la finitude, and thustry to assess Meillassoux’s contributionto contemporary philosophy

Desfiles, exposições, missas, peças teatrais conjugam, a um só tempo, uma narrativa fundadora: Aqui começou a história do Espírito Santo, Vila Velha, berço da história. É possível reconhecer ainda as diversas reverberações desta narrativa colonial, que expressa modos de dizer e de agir na paisagem, nos museus, nos monumentos, nos símbolos e rituais. Nestes discursos e práticas, o início da história está sempre em função da chegada dos colonizadores. Esta primeira constatação faz coro aos estudos pós-estruturalistas e pós-coloniais, que têm como uma de suas frentes reflexivas a problematização das metanarrativas e das histórias-lugares únicos, num esforço de desnaturalização das modernas narrativas espaciais. Inserido nesta perspectiva, nossa pesquisa tem por principal objetivo analisar as consequências de uma política da espacialidade (MASSEY, 2008) quando atrelada a constituição de uma imaginação espacial linear e eurocêntrica. Discutiremos o agenciamento das memórias e narrativas do lugar, tomando como referência autores como Dorren Massey (2007, 2008), Queiroz Filho (2010, 2012), Boris Kossoy (2002), Michel Pollak (1989), Benedict Anderson (2008), Eduardo Pellejero (2009) e Deleuze e Guattari (1977, 2011), cujo mote conceitual nos permite refletir sobre o caráter ficcional das narrativas e imagens, bem como possibilidades outras de grafar e dizer os lugares e suas imaginações espaciais. Para tanto, três movimentos metodológicos serão feitos neste trabalho. Primeiramente será realizado um inventário visual da/na Prainha, composto pelo mapeamento das narrativas expressas pelas imagens e paisagem (monumentos, nomes de ruas, edificações e rituais) e pelo acervo da Casa da Memória (pinturas, fotografias e outros registros historiográficos). No segundo momento buscaremos analisar as narrativas do lugar a partir da construção de um índice de agenciamento, para então problematizá-las, tensionar a pretensão de verdade única sobre o lugar, desconstruir seu caráter naturalizado e universal e por fim, submetê-lo a um movimento que chamamos de multiplicação, uma busca de outros modos de grafar e dizer o lugar.

Abstract For several years, the organic food sales have increased, and more are choosing to buy organic food of more diverse causes. Unfortunately the sales have slowed down the past year, a lot depends on the Swedish economy has been in decline and it has led to more will check one more time on the price. But even if the sale value has decreased, the amount of organic food has increased, it is because many stores have their own organic brands and they can push prices down. The internet has become a great help in our daily lives, we do most our business via the Internet. But now we are not just paying our bills through the Internet anymore, we shop clothes, movies, music and books too. E-commerce was become more serious last decade and has grown every year that has passed. What have been slow are the food sales through ecommerce but the organic food sales through e-commerce has succeeded extremely well. The study aims to find out how an ecological company that is on the Internet works and how they are working to develop the company. Through the case study, and a semi-structured interview of the company Ekolådan, have documents collected for the study. The interview was conducted with operational responsibility for Ekolådan. The survey shows that their concept originally comes from England. The concept is to sell organic fruits and vegetables in boxes that are sent to the customer's door. It was revealed that Ekolådan was one of the first in Sweden to start such a company, with it they also got a lot of free advertising. Ekolådan are working to try to help organic farms by having a long-term working relationship with them. In the future they hope that more people will start buying more organic food. But it came up in the investigation of both the marketing and placement of organic food in the stores must be better, if sales will increase. Keywords: organic food, Ekolådan and the organic market

Abstrakt Långt tillbaka i tiden i antika Egypten dyrkades Osiris, en omtyckt och respekterad dödsgud vilken lämnat spår efter sig in i nutid. Han representerade inte bara döden utan även livet självt och möjligheten till uppståndelse. Långt senare kom en ny gestaltning och inkarnation av “Döden och livet” att träda fram, en Loa av voodoo; Baron-Samedi. Två till synes helt olika gudomar från skilda religioner, kulturer och tidsepoker; men båda kopplade till den Afrikanska kontinenten.  Syftet med denna undersökning är att skapa en djupare förståelse av dessa två gudars liknande symboliska funktioner; hur skillnader yttrar sig samt hur likheterna sammanfaller. Detta är gjort genom först en litteraturstudie där olika förklaringar och åderberättelser av de båda gestalterna behandlas, sedan analyseras det funna materialet utifrån ett religionsfenomenologiskt och ett religionspsykologiskt perspektiv. Genom det valda teoretiska ramverket är målet att den undermedvetna symboliska funktionen av de båda gudarna ska kunna belysas och jämföras.  Resultaten av undersökningen visade att bilden och förståelsen av gudarna varierar beroende på vilken litterär källa man vänder sig till. Olika variationer av Osiris-myten återges och olika symbolisk tolkning presenteras. Baron-Samedi är relativt konstant i sin presentation men hur detaljerad denna är beror på källa. Det material som samlades in är tillräcklig för att utifrån den kunna göra en analys och se att de båda två kan tolkas som en religionsfenomenologisk arketyp och som en Jungiansk transcendens symbol och medel för en individuationsprocess. Trots sina yttre skillnader och skilda kontexter, så fyller de båda dödsgudarna samma funktion i form av att förkroppsliga behovet av frigörelse, personlig utveckling och upplysning. Hur denna funktion yttrar sig och hur denna kontakt med gudarna formas skiljer sig dock åt dock mellan de båda gestalterna.

Denna uppsats tar upp två filosofers argumentation kring konflikten mellan Presentism och denspeciella relativitetsteorin: D. H. Mellor och Theodore Sider. Utifrån detta ges ett försvar avPresentism i ljuset av speciella relativitetsteorin och Mellor´s och Sider´s argument. Försvaretgår ut på att visa att denna konflikt inte innebär inkompatibilitet. Möjligheten att försvaraPresentism genom att påpeka olika tolkningar av speciella relativitetsteorin som empirisktlikvärdiga ges.

The aim of this paper is to explore the perceptions which students who study Religious Education experiences regarding the education that they receive. The study has been done by using a survey in which upper secondary students have participated. The research is based on the problems, which the result of earlier research claims to be a part of the Swedish Religious Education. These difficulties are a result of an education focusing on facts, minimized discussion regarding contemporary questions and not enough time given to reflect over the self and the pupils’ own identity. The findings of this study thus counter these claims of Religious Education with the students’ own perceptions as point of reference. The study concludes that many of the questioned students experience the education as non-relevant for them personally, but that it is an important part of cultivating the society.

In this essay, I intend to presuppose the existence of objective value and investigate the problems that the objective view faces further ahead, in its effort to answer the question of life’s meaning. Objectivism claims that in order for a life to be meaningful, one must engage in some way with values that are objective, values that exists independent of the subject. The aim here is to show that even with the existence of objective values the objective view hasn’t yet finally answered the question. In order for the objectivistic answer to be relevant for us we need to know what it is that has objective value and thereto, that this is a meaning-giving value. In addition, we either need to find internal reasons to engage in it, otherwise objectivism need to, besides assuming the existence of objective value, also assume the existence of external reasons.
