I gott bevar : Musikalen Kristina från Duvemåla och Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarepos - en adaptionsanalys / "I gott bevar" : The musical Kristina från Duvemåla and Vilhelm Moberg's emigrant epic - an adaptational analysisHansson, Erika January 2019 (has links)
Benny Anderssons och Björn Ulvaeus musikal Kristina från Duvemåla är baserad på Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarepos och sågs mellan åren 1995–1999 av över en miljon besökare. Denna undersökning har med utgångspunkt i de teoretiska termerna adaption, ledmotiv och folkton analyserat dels hur den litterära textens teman och handling har adapterats till musikalen i form av sångtexterna och dels hur upphovsmännen har valt att musikaliskt förmedla Karl Oskars och Kristinas kärlek samt Kristinas hemlängtan. Begreppen ”aural equivalents” och ”musically voiced” har varit ledord i undersökningen, likaså dramaturgiska teman. Undersökningen är både en adaptionsanalys och en musikalisk analys. Enligt det hermeneutiska tankesättet pendlar undersökningen mellan detaljerade analyser av utvalda låtar och låttexter och mer översiktliga analyser av musikalen som helhet i förhållande till Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarepos. Det står klart att upphovsmännen har förvaltat originalverkets berättelse väl, men de har också gjort en del perspektivförändringar då många av karaktärerna har fått mindre utrymme än i böckerna, medan karaktären Kristina tar mer plats i musikalen. Upphovsmännen har använt sig av ledmotiv och folkton som ”aural equivalents” för att både skildra kärleken mellan Kristina och Karl Oskar och Kristinas hemlängtan. Ledmotivens symbolik är tematisk, snarare än kopplad till enskilda karaktärer, vilket i sin tur har resulterat i en komplex ”väv av ledmotiv”. Folkton och direkta inlån från traditionell folkmusik har använts för att gestalta Kristinas hemlängtan och för att placera berättelsen i tid och rum. Till sist reflekteras det över det faktum att även utvandrareposet är en adaption av den svenska utvandringen till Amerika under 1800-talet. Denna undersökning hoppas kunna bidra till forskningen kring hur ett originalverk påverkas av att adapteras till musikteaterns förutsättningar och konventioner och på vilka sätt en musikalkompositör musikaliskt kan gestalta de dramaturgiska teman som en musikal består av.

Gal Pals and Gentlemen of the Bedchamber : En begreppshistorisk undersökning av historiebruket runt queera kungligheter på sociala medier / Gal Pals and Gentlemen of the Bedchamber : A conceptual historical study of the use of history around queer royalty on social mediaAlfheim, Julia January 2023 (has links)
This G-3 essay aimed to study how people on three American left leaning social medias appoint queer identities to historical people and the discourse around this appointment. This was studied through the theoretical lenses of queer theory and the use of history. The source material consisted of posts from Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit and it was studied both quantitatively and qualitatively through the method of conceptual history. The historical people examined were Queen Christina of Sweden and King James VI and I of Scotland and England. This essay discovered that a wide variety of queer identities were appointed to the royals. However, all queer identities appointed were identities that matched the discoveries scientists have made about the royals’ lives. Furthermore, between one third and half of all posts used sources to justify the appointment of queer identities. The use of history in all posts were found to be either existential in nature – showing a desire to find connections with other queer people through history – or moral – using history to argue against current injustice against queer people.

"Medan detta nya fruktansvärda hände i Kramfors, stod mamma i köket och putsade prästgårdssilvret" : hushållssysslor som hemmets rumsliga praktiker. Thorvall, Johansson och Sandberg / "While these new and horrible things happened in Kramfors, mother was in the kitchen polishing silverware from the rectory" : Household chores as spatial practice in novels by Thorvall, Johansson and Sandberg.Pärsson, Sara January 2015 (has links)
This thesis is a study of spatial practice and literary depictions of homes in novels by Elsie Johansson, Kerstin Thorvall and Kristina Sandberg. The theoretical perspective is based on Henri Lefebvre´s view on social space, and on the concept of spatial practice. Research questions are: What homes are depicted? How does spatial practice function in the texts? How does the depictedspatial practice relate to norms and ideals? The novels, published 1993-2014, depict an interesting period in Swedish history (cirka 1920-1970) when politics and society at large was deeply involved in reshaping the homes and lives of Swedish citizens. The aim was to turn the citizens into new, healthy and rational parts of the new and rational society. Housewives where put in a position where the new rational housekeeping clashed with the standards and practices of earlier generations. Class is found to be a crucial factor in performing and experiencing domesticity in the studied novels. Housewive characters in the Thorvall and Sandberg novels, raised in working class families, struggle in adapting the spatial practice of home in their new middle class environments.Part of the thesis is a discussion on domesticity seen as an adaptive pracitce – catering to the needs of husbands and children. The novels show this, but also depict housework being used as a way to escape unpleasant conversations or forget ones unpleasant feelings. Another task with complex connotations and uses is cleaning. Cleaning in these novels have a strong connection to positive feelings like pleasure and pride, but also to negative feelings of shame and a loss of control. Acting normal to achieve a state of normality within the home and family is a common strategy for the housewives. The material is found to support Lefebvres idea on the importance of spatial practice - sense of home, for the studied housewife characters, is found to be more dependent on spatialpractice than on the home itself.

Våld i konsten : En studie om hur våld gestaltats i konsten under 1900-talets sista decennier / Violence in art : A study on violence depicted in art during the last decades of the 20th centuryFrostensson, Kajsa January 2020 (has links)
This essay examines how family-related violence was depicted in art in Sweden during the 70s, 80s and 90s. A major shift in the views of violence within the family and in relationships occurs during this period, which becomes evident through a change in laws but is also visible in an ongoing social debate. Basing my research on a number of works by female artists, depicting violence, I have analysed ways of interpreting and understanding the violence in these images, in relation to the changed views on family, gender roles and violence. The female perspective on violence is often the same as the perspective of the violated, and I have chosen to study female artists, thus assuming that a changed attitude is most clearly reflected in this group.The artists included in the study are Marie-Louise Ekman, Marja Ruta, Kristina Abelli Elander, Maria Lindberg, Maria Friberg and Monica Larsen Dennis, Helene Billgren, Tuija Lindström, Charlotte Gyllenhammar, Anna-Maria Ekstrand and Annika von Hausswolff.The works are grouped into four categories based on a model created by Gregory H. Stanton, which he developed in the survey of genocide. His model depicts ten stages in which violence slowly increases. My division is in four stages and is named structural violence, embodied acts of violence or abuse, crime victims or traces of crime, and consequences of violence. Seen over the period covered by the study, one can observe an increase in the number of images with violent content. The depictions change from being political messages to becoming more provocative and questioning power structures. This is a development which is happening simultaneously with the breakthrough of postmodern art.The artists have in several works been influenced by or relate to images of violence shown in news media and popular culture, a genre that grows during the 1980s home video epoch. But the art not only interacts with other visual media, it also wants to involve the viewer by exploring and questioning values and hierarchies in society.The girl as a symbol of an innocent victim is represented in several of the works, and the girls are given a much greater freedom of action in the artworks than in reality. A concealed aggression is made visible and in several of the works the girls act violators.Depiction of violence has not been treated as a theme or categorized as a separate genre in the arts. To the extent that I have found analyses of works containing violence in the arts, there has been a hesitative attitude and the images have been perceived as simple in a communicative or interpretive aspect. In my study, I come to another conclusion, Seeing that the processing of violence in the artistic works creates a counter-image to stereotypical and simplified images in media and and so helps us to see the normative values, power imbalances, behaviours and expectations that are often the basis for acts of violence.

Det omättliga ögatLjung, Bo January 2020 (has links)
This is a master thesis dealing with reception-theoretical aspects of the 96 meter long photomontage called That day and that grief, created by the Swedish photographer and artist Larseric Vänerlöf. The artwork is situated in the Karlaplan metro-station in Stockholm. The text is an extension of the master thesis that I wrote in 2017-2018, entitled The Cinematic eye. This new essay aims to deepen the understanding of how the photomontage reveals it´s meaning and how it is received by the viewer in the metro context at Karlaplan. Main questions: 1/ What is it in this big photomontage, that makes the viewing travellers, wanting to stay and watch it, even though they are in a hurry towards another place, in another matter? 2/ How does this artwork speak to me and how does it want me to watch it? 3/ What does the photomontage want to tell me? 4/ What does the work represents? Since my study focuses on the imagery and communication-act of the artwork, I find semiotics and reception-theory as the obvious theoretical tools. Part of the interpretation of the image relates to the semiotics of Roland Barthes and his statement that all images are polysemic and ambiguous and that they are culturally and historically conditioned. In my conclusion I discuss and to some extent challenge the mechanism and interaction between literal, denoting information and symbolic connotation in the viewer’s reception. The reception analysis is based on Wofgang Kemps conceptual apparatus formulated in The work of Art and its Beholder (1998), and Peter Gillgrens concept of interartial references. Hans Georg Gadamers view of art as a performative game complements the essays theoretical construction. I use a deductive and systematic interpretive working method. Based on the chosen semiotic and reception theoretical formation and through my questions, I have studied the phenomenology of the photomontage, i.e. as an artistic and linguistic phenomenon. Empathy in site/location, beholder and zeitgeist form the basis of the methodological work.The conclusions of the thesis are radically different from that of my former text from 2017-18. Imagery and symbolic ambiguities and focalics that refuse to reveal the "meaning" and content of the photomontage, activate the viewer in a performative way and creates a highly communicative work, which involves the viewer in the theatrical course. Through a deeper study of the “zeitgeist”, I have also concluded that the collective and political symbols from the 1970s in the work, have lost power and content at the time of the dismantling in 1982. The character that I previously perceived as "Art as weapon" has in this essay been transformed to "Art as visuality". The art of photography appears as the real subject matter for the photomontage at Karlaplan subwaystation.
