Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) har under modern tid växt fram att bli ettstandardförfarande bland företag och en strategi för att eftersträva legitimitet. Grundati ökade krav och förväntningar från omgivande aktörer, åtar sig organisationer ettsamhällsansvar utifrån ett miljömässigt, socialt och ekonomiskt perspektiv. Parallelltmed det stegrade ansvarstagandet inom organisationer öppnar det upp för fråganhuruvida detta fenomen är direkt applicerbart på alla branscher, så som kontroversiellaindustrier. Av den anledningen utreds i denna studie huruvida konsumenter anser attPhilip Morris International, ett företag verksamt inom tobaksindustrin, uppnårlegitimitet genom deras CSR- engagemang. Genom fokusgrupper och djupintervjuerhar konsumenters uppfattning om Philip Morris International CSR- engagemangkunnat fastställas och slutsatser har kunnat erhållas. Sammantaget uppnår PhilipMorris International ingen legitimitet genom CSR, av det skälet att tobaksproduktenoch industrin till sin helhet inte är socialt accepterad. De positiva effekterna av CSRengagemangetbeskuggas av industrins negativa effekter och framhäver även en tydligdubbelmoral. Vidare poängteras även vikten av kommunikation baserat på resultatetav konsumenternas obefintliga kännedom om Philip Morris CSR-arbete.

Research on the neural and cognitive basis of spatial navigation over the last 30 years has been largely guided by cognitive map theory and many of the studies have used a standardized procedure in a single task, the Morris Water Maze (MWM). Although this theory proposes that acquisition of place knowledge should be very rapid, little evidence has been provided to support this point. The present study investigates the possibility that a new procedure for measuring place knowledge in the MWM will show that place learning is faster than previously shown. In a virtual MWM with a fixed goal location, participants were given pairs of standard learning trials plus new explicit probe trials in which they were directed to go to where they found the goal on the immediately preceding trial. The distance between their estimate and the actual location was measured as “Place Error”. Results indicated that Place Errors were surprisingly small after just one learning trial and were equivalent for females and males. These findings provide new evidence for the fast learning proposed by cognitive map theory and demonstrate the value of this new method for measuring place learning. / Graduate

The areas of investigation are the portrait, the gaze, the American filmmaker Errol Morris, representation of reality and subcultures. These are discussed within an historical, technical, cultural and social framework. Colour, the film theorist Bill Nichols, the filmmaker Errol Morris are discussed with reference to the central gaze and what constitutes reality. Taking on another identity, the role of subcultures and my influences as a photographer are explored within this context. Work for Examination Other Lives is a photographic work consisting of portraits including: civil war re-enactors who believe that the war between the northern and southern states of America still exist Elvis Presley impersonators and fans who believe that Elvis Presley still lives people who take on another identity as scarecrows in the context of a local festival people who take on another identity as medieval knights.
