I detta projekt behandlas ämnet misslyckande i relation till mitt framförande av stycket Failing: a very difficult piece for double bass, skrivet av Tom Johnson år 1975. Stycket består av musik för solokontrabas som även har en textrad som ska läsas samtidigt som musiken spelas. Detta med syftet att framföraren ska misslyckas med sitt framträdande. Stycket Failing sätter praxis för att spela musik på sin spets, då det blir oklart vad vi egentligen är ute efter i spelandet. I denna uppsats gör jag ett försök att reda ut hur musikaliska misslyckanden fungerar, samt hur min inställning till misslyckanden kan påverka mitt spelande. Detta sker genom reflektion och begreppsliga resonemang, med vissa referenser till litteratur inom psykologin. Slutsatsen är att jag så länge jag gör ett kvalificerat försök att spela Failing, så kan jag inte misslyckas med mitt framträdande. Detta synsätt leder till minskad prestationsångest vilket kan ge en förhöjd publikupplevelse. Det kan finnas värde i att applicera de begrepp jag kommit fram till på framtida framträdanden, eller fortsätta projektet att skapa tydliga begrepp kring musikaliska framträdanden. / <p><strong>Konsertprogram</strong></p><p>J.S.

The diploma thesis Labor Movement as a Means of Struggle for Equality of African Americans in Minnesota: Activism of Nellie Stone Johnson analyzes the role of the Labor Movement in a struggle for equality of African Americans in a state that belongs on the periphery of academic research of African American population of the United States of America. In the first two chapters, the study uses the probe method, which analyzes the manifestations of the Labor Movement and the Civil Rights Movement of the African Americans in Minnesota within a historical context. In case of both movements, key influences and actors are primarily identified. The second chapter then analyzes in more detail the impact of racism and discrimination on the Labor Movement's development, and vice versa, the struggle of the Labor Movement to overcome racial segregation. In the third chapter, the case study relies on the biographical method and the oral history method. Using these methods, this chapter constructs a specific story of activist Nellie Stone Johnson, whose life demonstrates the importance of combining quality education with economic self-sufficiency for the success of the African American struggle for racial equality in Minnesota. Nellie Stone Johnson came from a farming background that was traditional for Minnesota...

The aim of this bachelors thesis has been to examine and analyse the framing used when reporting about Boris Johnson in context with Brexit in both Swedish and British media coverage. The research questions examined in this study were: In what way is Boris Johnson framed in British and Swedish media coverage surrounding Brexit in his first three weeks as prime minister? What could explain the possible differences that occurs between the Swedish and British media coverage? I have in combination with a qualitative text analysis as well as framing theory and news valuation theory analysed material from four major news papers. Two news papers from Sweden, Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. As well as two from Great Britain, The Guardian UK and The Sun UK. One of each county’s news paper focuses on qualitative and objective journalism and one from each country which can be regarded as a tabloid, evening paper, from these four news papers a total of 12 articles, three from each paper was selected. To arrive at my conclusion every article was analysed trough what frame, conflict, personification or elite person, Boris Johnson was portrayed as well as if the frames felt clear, subtle or well as if any frame could not be found in the text. Through the analysis I found the result to be that every article had personified Boris Johnson with Brexit, even if the article did not directly have a focus on the Brexit conflict. The personification is a constant backgrung trough every individual article. Secondly I found that the frames through which the newspapers portrayed conflict differed, depending from which country the news paper reported from. The Swedish news papers portrayed conflict through a broader perspective, having a stronger focus on Brexit as a concept whilst the British newspaper framed conflict in a much more detailed way. Focusing on more detailed topics with higher interest for the british population.
