121	Symbolic forms of immortality in Madame Bovary, Niels Lyhne, and John Gabriel Borkman Cartlidge, Francis Roy January 1978 (has links) This thesis is a study of the ways in which the fear of death, and its natural consequence, the desire for immortality, is manifested in the major characters of three post-Romantic works. In each case, the fear of death is unconscious, and has to "be interpreted from the dreams and illusions of the characters, which may not appear to have any immediate connection with death or immortality. In Madame Bovary, the blind man is the symbolic antithesis of Emma's dreams of finding a means of transcendence within the world itself. He is the embodiment of the horrifying vision of biological process that lies at the heart of her flight from reality. The pharmacist, Homais, is also considered to be attempting to establish a symbolic form of immortality for himself through the glorification of his reputation and his sentimental belief in scientific progress. In Niels Lyhne, the young hero attempts to free himself from the romantic influences of his childhood by proclaiming a new philosophy that is based, on atheism. However, his temperamental attachment to the idea of "infinity", and his inability to accept the physical nature of human beings betray his unconscious desire for a state of being in which he will be invulnerable to the forces of aging and death. In John Gabriel Borkman the three major characters attempt to find a means of denying the inevitability of their approaching deaths. Borkman tries to gain control over the forces of life through the exercise of power and through an identification with rocks and metal that seem to hold the promise of conferring their immutability onto him. Borkman's wife wants her son to devote his life to the glorification of the name of Borkman, that her husband has dishonoured. She hopes that her idealized self-image will live on"in the "monument" that Erhart will "erect" to the family name. Ella Rentheim, her sister, also plans to use Erhart for the establishment of a symbolic form of immortality, by trying to persuade him to adopt her family name after she has died. The method of this thesis could be applied to works from any age of literature, but I have chosen the nineteenth century because of the particular social and intellectual influences that existed in Europe after the Enlightenment'. All the artistic movements of the nineteenth century were conditioned by the legacy of metaphysical uncertainty that the religious skepticism of the Age of Reason had bequeathed to the future. In these three works, the characters devote the same religious fervour to the worldly objects of their desires as, formerly, man had devoted to God. The unconscious hope in all their attempts is that they will discover a means of being delivered from death. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate Immortality
122	A doll’s world : Nora ur olika kulturella perspektiv Hansson, Ylva January 2021 (has links) This master’s thesis discusses who Nora Helmer could be today in different parts of the world. With an idea for an modern adaptation of A doll house (with three Noras from different cultural perspectives) as a starting point the purpose is to research the following questions: Who Nora could be today, how Nora could be portrayed through different cultural perspectives, what similarities and differences there are, if anything in the play has to be changed to relate to a contemporary context and what the essence of Nora is. These questions are being explored through in-depth interviews with five different female actors in different continents: North America, Asia, Oceania, Africa and Europe. The actors thoughts are presented through different themes: Who Nora is, motherhood and marriage, Nora’s favourite color, the ideal woman and who Nora could be in their context today. The last part discusses the different versions of Nora, how a classical play can open up for conversations about current gender equality issues and how this material can be used in the continued work towards a stage production.

125	Autour du principe de réalité en physique quantique : études sur Planck, Bohr et Heisenberg Rhéault, Paul. 13 October 2021 (has links) Ce mémoire s'inscrit à l'intérieur d'une réflexion systématique et critique portant sur le concept de réalité, à partir des recherches de Planck, Bohr et Heisenberg qui permirent le développement de la physique quantique; celle-là même qui allait bouleverser les fondements scientifiques acquis, sur lesquels reposait notre connaissance du monde. Cependant, la quête pour la connaissance du réel, par le biais de la physique quantique, en tant que langage sur le réel, pose le problème de ce qu'il conviendrait de nommer la réalité, vue à partir d'un langage mathématique essentiellement abstrait. Le problème de l'"accessibilité" au réel, par le biais de telles constructions mentales, est en fait une question de légitimité de l'investigation théorique dans la quête du réel et ce, en tant qu'organisation spécifique d'un langage beaucoup plus vaste sur lequel elle revient constamment s'appuyer, celle de sa raison même de penser le monde existant, de le pressentir à travers la multiplicité de ses manifestations.

126	Homoadoption i Bamse : hur skildras homosexualitet och homoadoption i serietidningen ”Bamse” och var placerar sig resultatet mot en kort jämförelse av homohistoria, samhälle och genus? / Adoptions by homosexuals according to the Bamse Cartoon Beischer, Per-Henrik January 2011 (has links) The purpose of this study is to investigate how homosexuality and homosexual adoptions are manifested in children's comic "Bamse" and study the result in the light of a brief background about the western society and gay history. The study has a historical gender perspective and focus homosexuality primarily in modern times. Drawing on critical theory and semiotic analysis, the study shows how ideas and ideology surrounding same-sex relations and parenting are negotiated in the ”Bamse” comic. 2010 was the year when the Bamse cartoon took a step into the gender debate and introduced two gay rabbits who adopted an infant. The study shows that despite the obvious intent to anchor homosexuality as normal and integrated in the society there are hidden ideologies that reveals homosexuality as abnormal and excluded. Homosexuality in "Bamse" includes a male homosexuality and no female representatives are visible. Also is homosexuality normalized by including both traditional male and female attributes and domains. The gay man emerges as emotional, scared, unused to children, colored, not belonging in a middle or upper class, surrounded by darkness, but, while fully capable of providing care to a child, just as heterosexual parents. The study reveals how ”Bamse” contains and negotiates between conflicting ideoligies about same sex parenting. This duality of the prominent ideologies may well reflect the social concepts that exist at the time of this study in the media debate. / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur homosexualitet och homoadoption manifesteras i barnserietidningen ”Bamse – världens starkasta björn” och studera resultatet mot en kort bakgrund kring samhälle, ”Bamse-” och homohistoria samt genus. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i ett historiskt genusperspektiv som belyser homosexualitet främst under modern samtid. Vid närmandet av empirin tillämpas kritisk teori och semiotisk analys för att utkristallisera föreställningar och ideologier som omfattar studieobjekt. 2010 var det år då tidningen om Bamse tog steget in i genusdebatten och introducerade två homosexuella kaniner som genom en homoadoption bildade familj. Studien påvisar att trots att ett uppenbart uppsåt finns att förankra homosexualitet som normalt och inkluderat i samhället återfinns dolda ideologier som befäster homosexualitet som avvikande och exkluderande. Homosexualitet i ”Bamse” innefattar en manlig homosexualitet då inga kvinnliga representanter syns. Likaså understryks en homosexualitet som normaliserats genom att innefatta både traditionellt kvinnliga och manliga attribut och domäner. Den homosexuella mannen framträder bland annat som känslosam, rädd, ovan vid barn, färgad, icketillhörande av medel- eller överklass, med ett avsides boende, omgiven av mörker, men samtidigt som fullt kapabel att ge omsorg till ett barn, på samma sätt som heteroföräldrar. Denna kluvenhet eller dubbelhet i de framträdande ideologierna kan också väl avspegla de samhälleliga föreställningar som återfinns vid tiden för studien i till exempel mediadebatten. gay history gender comic homosexual adoption same sex relation Bamse cartoon genus homo gay historia Beicsher Per-Henrik Bamse Happ Lille Sxten Suddan homoadoption history serie tecknade serier barnserie
127	Ansvar: Den offentliga makten och Det civila samhället : En kvalitativ fallstudie av flyktingkrisen 2015 Carestam, Emelie January 2017 (has links) The civil society is considered an important component of a democratic system and is supported by political advocates. During the 2015 migrant crisis the voluntary sector, as part of the civil society, played an important role shouldering a lot of responsibility for the arrival of refugees. This led to criticisms aimed towards the public sector and it’s absence in regard to the same situation. The purpose of this essay is to investigate and explain the political paradox created in connection with the migrant crisis of 2015. Using the ”perspective of responsibility” as a starting-point this essay will look at the public sector’s- and respectively the civil society’s actions during the crisis as a benchmark. This essay will use the method known as case study, through a qualitative text analysis as a base. The different sectors and their respective relationships to the perspective of responsibility will be discussed through three separate ways in which Robert Putnams theory on social capital & citizenship, and Henrik Berggren & Lars Trägårdhs theory on the Swedish state individualism will be discussed. Using these two separate theories together with the perspective of responsibility as a foundation, the study will illustrate the problematic aspects of civil society partly bearing the responsibilities of the public sector’s areas of responsibility during the fall of 2015. This essay found that some of the negative criticism pointed at the public sector was misguided during the fall 2015.

129	Kronor, kransar och diadem som rollsymboler i Rubens målningar över Maria de’ Medicis liv / Crowns, wreaths and diadems as role symbols in Rubens’s Marie de’ Medici Cycle af Klinteberg, Kristina January 2022 (has links) This is a study on crowns, wreaths and diadems as role symbols in Peter Paul Rubens’s 24 paintings for Marie de’Medici in Paris, 1622 – 1625. In these paintings, historic facts are shown with the addition of mythological gods and their symbols giving allegorical scenes, where sometimes also Christian symbols or subjects can be traced. A reader of these painted motifs therefore can choose to see the symbols as regal, Christian or mythological. The crown and the wreaths rarely present a challenge in modern interpretations, but the magnificent diadem does. Rubens chooses this diadem for higher goddesses, and for the queen a couple of times too. For some reason, this symbol is mostly misread in analyses. At this point in history, the crowns and the wreaths have been collected from divine spheres and turned into physical objects on earth used by the high and mighty. The large diadem has not; it is still only a symbol on a goddess. If and when put on a human in a portrait, the symbol gives the lady the abilities and characters of a goddess. Rubens uses his own design when turning this symbol into a physical picture;it is a high, pointed diadem with pearls and coloured gems set in gold. He has used it on goddesses both before and after the Medici commission. Today, we have seen numerous spectacular headpieces like this from late 18th century an onwards, wherefore it is an easy mistake to believe that Rubens copied what he saw instead of, as he actually did, foreboding a coming fashion. In addition to confirming this, I also suggest that it is the highest goddess Juno queen Marie is personifying. Juno is mostly known today as a goddess for women and childbirth. But she had far more masculine tasks in earlier days: she was seen as the saviour of the country and a special counsellor of the state. These two important roles are exactly what Marie de’ Medici took on when acting as regent for her young son, Louis XIII,after the murder of her husband, the late Henry IV. By putting Juno’s diadem on Marie’s head, when sitting on a throne, the divine abilities are manifested according to how a historic period could be transferred to the allegorical language in a painting at the time.
