Det var modern, som älskade dem!" : Tolkningsmässiga svårigheter med "kärlek" i Euripides Medea Green, Felicia January 2024 (has links) The aim of this Master’s thesis is to achieve philosophical clarity on an interpretative problem I have been struggle with in Euripides’ Medea: That Medea murders her own children, while claimingto love them. Situated within the philosophical and literary tradition of ordinary language philosophy and ordinary language criticism, the thesis draws on ideas, theoretical discussions, and concepts from Ludwig Wittgenstein, Toril Moi, Stanley Cavell, Cora Diamond, and Niklas Forsberg – but also Søren Kierkegaard. The analysis is divided in two parts. The first is anarticulation of the grammar of my problem through Cora Diamond’s conception of the phenomenon “a difficulty of reality”, and an emulation of a hermeneutical strategy to deal with such problems, which I identify in Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling. I reach the conclusion that the co-existence of Medea’s murder och love is a paradox, which cannot be thought. The second part of the analysis is an attempt to step out of this paradox. Here, I compare Medea to Stanley Cavell’s readings on the Shakespearean tragedies Othello and King Lear, and Cavell’s ideas on “lived scepticism”, “avoidance of love” and “best case of acknowledgment”. By doing this, I am able to form the hypothesis that Medea’s understanding of “love” has been severely damagedafter Jason’s betrayal, and that she actually fails to sensically mean that she loves her children. In its use of my own confusion as a starting point and in employing Toril Moi’s views on reading, this thesis continuously stresses the individual reader’s responsibility in literary interpretation, as well as the importance of daring to voice or personal struggles, questions, and interests – even (or especially) when reading great classics.

122	Mutual Love and Attachment : A cross-sectional dyadic study exploring asymmetrical love / Ömsesidig kärlek och anknytning : En dyadisk tvärsnittsstudie om asymmetrisk kärlek Nilsson, Magnus, Sandberg, Tobias January 2019 (has links) The overarching question of the study was how common mutual love is, and to what extent attachment relates to relationship asymmetries. Four research questions and four hypotheses were posed and explored using a cross-sectional survey design with data analyzed using quantitative methods. Instruments were employed to measure passionate love, companionate love, partner value, emotional involvement and attachment. All four hypotheses found partial support. The main result show that a) asymmetries are relatively common on all scales b) mutual love means increased satisfaction, but mainly for women c) for most couples partners take turn at being the strong link, and this fluctuating dynamic leads to increased satisfaction c) attachment anxiety is related to asymmetries in romantic obsession rather than general passion d) avoidance in men relate to asymmetries in passionate love whereas avoidance in women relate to asymmetries in companionate love e) it seems common to have some form of positive illusions about whether one’s relationship is mutual or not. Finally, disagreeing about emotional involvement affects satisfaction more than actual asymmetries in love. The conclusion drawn is that honest communication is more important than mutual love.

123	A Colombian Nun and the Love of God and Neighbour : The Spiritual Path of María de Jesús (1690s-1776) / En Colombiansk Nunna och Kärleken till Gud och till Nästan : María de Jesús (ca 1690-1776) Andliga Väg Cadavid Yani, Helwi Margarita January 2016 (has links) María de Jesús (1690s-1776) was a white-veiled Discalced Carmelite nun of the San José convent in Santa Fe de Bogotá, founded in 1606. She professed in the year 1714, and her spiritual journal was printed in a chronicle about the convent in the 1940s. The aim of this study is to examine the love of God and of neighbour, as expressed in the spiritual journal of María de Jesús. In this study I will proceed from the understanding of love as charity. In Christian thought God Himself is love, and its source. Charity, the third, and greatest, of the theological virtues, is a state of being in and responding to God’s love and favour. This way of loving consists in loving God wholeheartedly and loving our neighbour as ourselves. Included in loving our neighbour are acts related to his or her spiritual benefit and salvation. These are all present themes in María de Jesús’ text, but my aim is to examine how she incorporates these themes in her spiritual testimony by analyzing the imagery she uses, and the affective language in her spiritual journal. I will also seek to understand her way of writing by analyzing her text against the background of the tradition of women’s spiritual writings. Being a Discalced Carmelite, it will also be interesting to discover the Teresian presence in María de Jesus’ text, i.e. the influence of her predecessor and the reformer of the order, Teresa of Ávila (1515- 1582). I suggest that this can be noticed in certain rhetorical techniques. I also aim to examine if there are any similarities and differences in their expressions of love of God and of neighbour. love God neighbor charity affective Discalced Carmelites Barefoot Carmelites spirituality convent nun white-veiled Catholic church mission mysticism mystic Eucharist Communion heart blood imagery metaphor Purgatory salvation soul sacrament vision visions ineffable union rhetoric rhetoric of femininity humility spiritual journal writings path María de Jesús Teresa of Avila Teresian presence Colonial Spanish America Colombia New Granada. kärlek Gud nästan Caritas affektivt språk Oskodda karmeliter Barfota karmeliter andlighet andlig spiritualitet spirituell väg kloster nunna katolsk kyrka mission mystik eukaristi kommunion hjärta blod bildspråk metafor Skärselden Purgatorium själ sakrament vision visioner obeskrivlig förening retorik ödmjukhet andlig dagbok skrifter María de Jesús Teresa av Avila kolonial Amerika Nya Granada.

Uppsatsen baseras på den teoretiska tanken att populärkultur innehåller representationer med budskap, värderingar, normer och föreställningar gällande vår verklighet och därigenom påverkar vår uppfattning om världen, vår plats i samhället, vår identitet och vår uppfattning om vad som är värdefullt, viktigt och sant. / My Särnbrink hette tidigare My Ravin.

125	From Snow White to Frozen : An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films / Från Snövit till Frost : En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer Nyh, Johan January 2015 (has links) Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods. / <p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p> Disney princesses Disney princesses gender Bechdel Bechdel test Walt Disney Pixar Frozen children girl culture gender representations talk time talktime gendertimer equality content analysis female feminism feminist gender role socialization model gender role socialization model passive domestic active media post-feminist gender role portrayals key measures popular nature or nurture genes or environment gender differences expressions of gender gender experiments neurological brain plasticity constructivist cultivation theory social cognitive theory quantitative quantitative measures quantitative methods stereotypes stereotype stereotypical women character count biological sex biological gender metrics femininity textual analysis submissive submissive behaviour independence daddy's girl patriarchy patriarchal patriarchal approval wicked women old wicked women wicked witch male masculine masculine characteristics feminine characteristics genders marrying marriage love at first sight empowerment fairy tale fairy tales film movie films movies Mulan Pocahontas Snow White Snow White and the seven dwarfs Cinderella Sleeping Beauty Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid Beauty and the Beast Aladdin Tangled Brave Frozen The Princess and the Frog Merida relationship relationship formation true love true love's kiss sisterhood sisterly Grimm Grimm brothers parental approval matriarchal approval matriarchal matriarchy stereotyping evil queen rate rater rating measure measuring wicked stepmother binary gender gender binarity binary genders gender identities gender identity gender identity formation identity formation animation cell animation the Smurfette principle strong women strong girls girlie positivism positivistic film studies analysis analyses antagonism action coding cultivation effect cultivation effects socialization effect socialization effects coded content analysis simple metrics cognition theory connotations cultivation theory socialization theory depictions of femininity plasticity human brain damsels in distress feminist research inequality gender inequality media studies heroines mass media social media images of women woman as image reading interpretation modern day fairy tales Disney prinsessor Disneyprinsessor Disney-prinsessor kön genus genusvetenskap Bechdel Bechdel test Bechdeltest Bechdeltestet Walt Disney Pixar Frost barn flickor kulturuppväxt representationer skildringar intryck taltid talk time talktime gendertimer jämlikhet innehållsanalys feminin feminism könsroll könsroller socialisering socialiseringsmodellen passiv hushållsarbete aktiv media post-feministisk postfemininstisk nyckeltal populärvetenskaplig populärvetenskapligt naturen uppväxt eller gener gener eller upppväxt uppfostran genetik könsskillnader könsuttryck experiment hjärnan plasticitet konstruktivism kultivationsteori kognitiv teori kvantitativ kvantitativa mått kvantitativa metoder stereotyper stereotyp stereotypisk kvinnnor kvinna kön biologiskt kön mått nyckeltal femininitet textanalys filmanalys kuvad underkastad submissiv oberoende pappas flicka patriarkat patriarkisk patriarkalt godkännande manlig maskulin kön genus äktenskap kärlek vid första ögonkastet saga sagor bröderna Grimm film Mulan Pocahontas Snövit och de sju dvärgarna Askungen Törnrosa Den lilla Sjöjungfrun Skönheten och Odjuret Aladdin Trassel Modig Frost Prinsessan och Grodan Merida förhållanden sann kärlek Grimm matriark matriarkisk patriarkalt godkännande matriarkalt godkännande bedöma betygsätta mått mäta ond styvmor binära kön könsidentitet könsidentiteter animation Smurfan starka kvinnor starka flickor positivistisk positivism filmvetenskap filmstudier antagonism protagonist hjältinna kodning kultivationseffekten socialiseringseffekten socialisationseffekten kodad innehållsanalys förenklade mått kognitiv teori konnotationer konnotera feministisk forskning könsbalans mediastudier mediestudier massmedia social media bilder av kvinnor kvinnan som bild images of women woman as image reading interpretation modern day fairy tales tolkning
