Over the last sixty years, overtly intertextual poems with titles such as “Poem Beginning with a Line by John Ashbery” and “Poem Ending with a Line by George W. Bush” have been appearing at an increasing rate in magazines and collections. These poems wed themselves to other texts and authors in distinct ways, inviting readers to engage with poems which are, themselves, in conversation with lines from elsewhere. These poems, which I refer to as “apprompted” poems, explicitly challenge readers to investigate the intertextual conversation, and in doing so, they adopt inherent risks. My thesis will chart the various effects these poems can have for readers and the consequences they may hold for the texts from which they borrow. Literary critics such as Harold Bloom and J. H. Miller have described the act of borrowing as competitive and parasitic—“agon” is Bloom’s term for what he sees as the oedipal anxiety of poets and poets’ texts to their antecedents, but an investigation of this emerging genre in terms of linguistic pragmatics shows that apprompted poems are performing a wider range of acts in relation to their predecessors. Unlike Bloom’s theory, which interprets the impulse of poetic creation through psychoanalysis, I employ linguistic terms from Brown and Levinson’s linguistic Politeness theory to analyze apprompted poems as conversational speech events. Politeness theory provides a useful analysis of these poems by documenting the weight of threats to the positive and negative “faces” of the participants in each poetic conversation. I have documented these “face-threatening-acts” and used them to divide apprompted poems into five major speech events: satire, revision, promotion, pastiche, and ecclesiastic. Ultimately, this paper serves at the intersection of literary criticism and linguistics, as I suggest a theoretical approach to the interpretation and criticism of apprompted poems by way of linguistic pragmatics.

This essay examines three contemporary Swedish poetry books that are all based on foundmaterial from everyday life such as transcriptions from a radio channel, personal calendarsand documents from the workplace. Using Martin Glaz Serup’s theories about relationalpoetry combined with Walter Benjamin’s ideas on the author as a producer, it investigates thepolitical and documentary dimensions of found poetry as a practice. The books are examinedone by one in chronological order and the analysis aims for a deeper understanding ofquestions about authorship, distribution and the poetic voice, as well as ethical dilemmas. Theresult recognises found poetry as a specific and complex method, that requires more attentionand research in a world where copying text is becoming as natural as writing in itself.

Electro-acoustic music composition makes it possible for composers to manipulate sounds with the computer with either alone or both live and prerecorded sounds. From the end of the 19th century when the first electronic devices for performing music were developed up till today, transformations in music technology keep surfacing and the possibilities with working with sounds have become endless. Electro-acoustic music has the ability to conjure mental images using vast sound manipulation techniques using the DAW(Digital audio workstation) and sound amplification through loudspeakers. Every space in our environment has its unique sound/s. Lost and found through these techniques provides an insight to a space which seems distant by geographical location but closer through sound.

This thesis supports the Master of Fine Arts exhibition, Adjusted Tools, at the Tipton Gallery, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, from August 3rd thru August 29th, 2012. The exhibition is comprised of eight sculptures, which are presented on pedestals and wall mounted. The artist references her own investigation of social patterns associated with preconceived roles of gender and how those patterns relate to housework. The artist experiments with an array of different materials including wood, stone, steel, and bronze that are fashioned into forms such as irons, ironing boards, and clothes pins. Topics addressed include influences, techniques, and methods directly pertaining to the artist's design and construction of sculpture. Included are images of work procedures as well as documentation of the exhibition.

I detta examensarbete undersöks stadsplanen och de byggda strukturerna i Skärholmen centrum. Med utgångspunkt i planens och platsens karaktärsdrag, syftar detta förslag till att skapa nya rörelser genom stadslandskapet och att utveckla platsens program med bostäder, arbetsplatser och rekreationsytor. Skärholmen är ett modernistiskt köpcentrum i sydvästra Stockholm, ett område som nu är föremål för bostadsförtätning och storskaliga infrastrukturella projekt. Sedan centrumet invigdes i slutet av 1960-talet har få förändringar gjorts i planen, med undantag från att två av huvudgatorna överglasats och omvandlats till en inomhusgalleria. Bortsett från det mycket välbesökta Skärholmstorget vid tunnelbanan, finns få fungerande offentliga utomhusrum. I öster domineras centrumet av ett stort parkeringshus. Mitt förslag går ut på att öppna upp delar av gallerian och skapa kopplingar mellan parkeringen, centrumet och det omgivande landskapet. Genom att lägga till nya bostadskvarter och ge befintliga byggnader nya funktioner, kan Skärholmens centrum bli en stadskärna som lever även efter att butikerna har stängt kl. 20. / This thesis investigates the urban fabric and built structures of Skärholmen Centrum. By preserving the existing characteristics of the plan, this proposal aims to create new movements through the city landscape and to develop its program with housing, workplaces and recreational spaces. Skärholmen is a modernist commercial center in south west Stockholm, an area now subject to large scale infrastructure projects and housing densification. Since the center was built in the late 1960s, the city plan has undergone few changes, with exception from the transformation of two of the main streets into an indoor galleria. Apart from the lively main square by the subway entrance, there are few well functioning public outdoor spaces. A multi-storey car park dominates the east part of the center. My proposal is to open up parts of the shopping mall and to create new connections between the car park, the center and the  surrounding landscape. By adding new housing blocks and new functions to existing buildings, the city center of Skärholmen could become a living place, also after the shops closed at 20.00.
