The purpose of this paper is to examine the narrative in You are a bad man, mr Gum! to be able to understand and explain the intermedial aspects of the work. I assume an intermedial, narratological and reception theory perspective in my analysis. The method of close reading is used combined with a reader-oriented perspective. I examine the medial aspects of the chosen work through the pictures, the text, and the iconicity of the typographical pattern of the text. To reach my goal, the following questions are dealt with: What is the character of the narration? How do the various media interact in the production of meaning? What is the relationship between the text and the implicit reader? What is the narratological difference between reading the book aloud and silently?   The theoretical framework f the paper consists of narratological and intermedial theories. Its investigation demonstrates that the book gains from being read from an intermedial perspective. Reading the book aloud creates a synergy between the medial aspects of the book which is missed in sillent reading. The paper also shows that the iconic perspective helps interaction while reading the book; the typographical design of the book triggers interpretations in terms of similarity.

Conducting the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach can be a challenge of sizeable proportions. A significant part of the challenge arises from interpreting and synthesizing several key elements. These elements must be addressed by the conductor if she or he is to produce an informed performance of the work. Before conducting J.S. Bach's Cantata 150, a conductor must have specific knowledge of the various issues that directly impact the performance of the cantata. These issues include appropriate tempi, performing pitch, dynamics, phrasing and articulation, ornamentation, continuo issues, size and sonority of ensemble, historical background, text painting and period instrument factors. This dissertation provides the conductor with a practical and functional guide that addresses the many interpretative elements and provides answers to several specific questions about Cantata 150, aiding the conductor in making critical decisions about preparing and performing this cantata. Divided into three main sections, including a performance practice chapter, a theoretical analysis chapter and a synthesis chapter, this practical manual analyzes and examines the cantata from a performer's point of view. A selected Discography is included. / School of Music

Svensk Elitfotboll (SEF), Elitfotboll Dam (EFD) och Svensk Elithandboll AB (SEH AB) arbetar alla med elitverksamhet inom vardera idrott. De enskilda ligaorganisationerna innefattar ett antal medlemsföreningar med rätten till beslutsfattande. SEF har genom kommersialiseringen kunnat bygga sig en framgångsrik utveckling medan EFD respektive SEH AB har en bit kvar. De olika förutsättningarna för ligaorganisationerna har byggt skilda utvecklingsvägar för respektive ligaorganisation och medlemsföreningar, där kommersialiseringens kraft har vägt över på SEF. Undersökningens granskar hur medlemsföreningarna påverkas av ligaorganisationerna och vad för likheter och skillnader som finns mellan dem. En kvalitativ metod med en jämförande design appliceras på undersökningen, där insamlingen av empiri utgörs av semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Genom analysen av det insamlade materialet med koppling till teori kunde undersökning konstatera att respektive ligaorganisation har stora skillnader mellan medlemsföreningarna, både organisatoriskt och ekonomiskt. SEH AB:s uppbyggnad är av positiv karaktär utifrån samhällets syn på jämställdhet där SEF och EFD kan ta inspiration från.

Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) is one of Sweden’s most well-known and prominent authors. The field of research connected to both her personal life and her body of work is certainly immense. However there are still gaps in the research concerning Lagerlöf’s social critique through her literature. Alongside her authorship she was active in the peace- and women’s movement, and particularly so in women’s suffrage. Simultaneously, as the women’s movement gained momentum at the turn of the 20th century, there was a domestic armament in Sweden. It was at this point when Lagerlöf wrote Herr Arne’s Hoard/The Treasure (1903). The purpose of this study is to examine the connections between manliness and violence in Selma Lagerlöf’s Herr Arne’s Hoard/The Treasure. This is achieved by means of reparative reading using gender theory from the Nordic historic masculinity studies. The reparative reading is based on a model of interpretation, first promoted by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and is not about hidden meanings but rather what the text explicitly represents. The analysis shows that the text criticizes a certain fit for military service type of manliness. This particular manliness is characterized by self-interest and vindictiveness, which is tied to an archaic barbarity and social stagnation. At the same time it is connected to positions of power. The analysis also shows, through the critic, a feminine desire for justice, a movement towards change and the subversive potential of sympathy. / Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) är en av Sveriges namnkunnigaste och mest prominenta författare. Forskningsfältet kring hennes person och produktion är närmast oöverskådligt. Det finns emellertid fortfarande luckor i forskningen gällande hur samhällskritisk Lagerlöf egentligen var i sitt författarskap. Vid sidan av sitt författarskap var hon också aktiv inom freds- och kvinnorörelsen, i synnerhet i kampen för kvinnlig rösträtt. Samtidigt som kvinnorörelsen tog fart kring sekelskiftet 1900, genomfördes en inhemsk militär upprustning i Sverige. Under denna tidsperiod skriver Lagerlöf berättelsen Herr Arnes penningar (1903). Den här studien undersöker kopplingen mellan manlighet och våld i Selma Lagerlöfs Herr Arnes penningar. Studien genomför en reparativ läsning utifrån ett genusvetenskapligt perspektiv med teorier hämtade från den nordiska historiska manlighetsforskningen. Den reparativa läsningen är baserad på en tolkningsmodell som först lanserades av Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick och som handlar om att inte se till vad en text döljer utan till vad den vill. Analysen påvisar att texten kritiserar en särskild vapenför manlighet. Denna manlighet karakteriseras av egennytta och hämndbegär, som förbinds med ett arkaiskt barbari och samhällelig stagnation. Samtidigt förbinds det med maktpositioner. Analysen synliggör utifrån kritiken också ett kvinnligt begär efter rättvisa, en rörelse mot förändring och sympatins subversiva potential.
