Denna studie hade till syfte att med en narrativ analysmetod studera interaktionen mellan hiphop-rapparen Petter och Stockholm City. De specifika frågorna som vi ville ha svar på i den här studien var hur Petter beskriver Stockholm som plats och som social struktur, hur hans inställning är till staden, hur detta påverkar individens livsstil och identitet, hur Petter beskriver sin relation till staden och hur detta kan förklaras genom tidigare forskning, vilka konsekvenser som Petter ser Stockholm har för honom och för andra som bor i den staden när det gäller etnicitet och sociospatiala faktorer. Metoden som användes i denna studie var en narrativ analys av 5 raptexter av Petter. Texterna analyserades och indelades i teman i enlighet med det som kallas tematisk analys, som är en form av narrativ analys. Resultaten visar att Petter beskriver Stockholm som en plats han älskar men också kritiserar hårt. Stadens sociala struktur beskrivs ur ett marxistiskt perspektiv. Denna studie visar också att Petter beskriver Stockholm som en plats som har sina fula och vackra sidor. Hans inställning till staden är ett slags hat-kärleksförhållande. Petter identifierar sig mycket med staden och detta sätt att identifiera sig med den lokala storstaden man bor i förklaras i teorin om urbanism, så resultaten backas upp av tidigare forskning. Resultaten visar också att Petter ser Stockholm som en plats som får människor att bete sig på vissa sätt, till exempel att göra människor materialistiska. Resultaten kopplades till teorin om urbanism och diskuterades. En intressant notering är att Petter inte till hundra procent faller i linje med förklaringen av urbanismteorin genom att han inte lägger någon större vikt, om alls, vid etnicitet eller sociospatiala faktorer. Han har mer av ett marxistiskt klassperspektiv, åtminstone i dessa 5 raptextlåtar som analyserades i denna studie. / This study had the purpose of studying, with a narrative analysis method, the interaction between the hiphop-rapper artist Petter and Stockholm City. The specific questions that we wanted answered in this study was how Petter describes Stockholm as a place and as a social structure, how his attitude is towards the city, how this effects the individual`s lifestyle and identity, how Petter describes his relationship with the city and how this can be explained through earlier research, what consequences Petter sees Stockholm has for him and for others who live in that city when it comes to ethnicity and sociospatial factors. The method used in this study was a narrative analysis of 5 rap texts of Petter. The texts were analyzed and divided into themes in accordance with what is called thematic analysis, which is a form of narrative analysis. The results show that Petter describes Stockholm as a place he loves but also heavily criticize. The social structure of the city is described from a Marxist perspective. This study also shows that Petter describes Stockholm as place that has it´s ugly and beautiful sides. His attitude towards the city is a kind of a love-hate relationship. Petter very much identifies with the city and this way of identifying with the local big city you live in is explained in the theory of urbanism, so the results are backed by earlier research. The results also show that Petter sees Stockholm as a place that makes people behave in certain ways, for example making people materialistic. The results were linked to the theory of urbanism and discussed. An interesting note is that Petter don´t onehundred percent fall in line with the explanation provided by the theory of urbanismin that he doesn’t put much emphasis, if at all, on etnicity or sociospatial factors. He has more of a Marxist class perspective, at least in these 5 rap text songs that were analyzed in this study.

Background: In recent studies a lot of attention is drawn to the connection between networking and entrepreneurship. Many scholars consider successful business and networking inseparable. Taking into consideration the topicality of the two notions discussed above the authors of this thesis decided to conduct the research dedicated to these phenomena in the field that interests them most – in the field of Swedish fashion. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to gain a deeper insight into entrepreneur’s experiences to point out the role of entrepreneurial networking in the process of internationalization of a micro-sized Swedish fashion company and to contribute to the research in this field by telling its unique story. Method: To achieve the purpose of the research a narrative ethnographic research was conducted. This research strategy was chosen because it suits the purpose best by giving an opportunity to get fresh insights into the field of entrepreneurial networking from the point of view of the entrepreneur. The data collected has a narrative nature therefore narrative analysis is used to present it. The methods of gathering the data are face-to-face interview and documents. Conclusion: we can define the most important role of entrepreneurial networking on the internationalization process of Odeur as an effective accelerator and a tool to fulfil the knowledge and expertise gaps in certain areas through other actors in the network.

The aim of this study is to examine the use of famous historical or fictional persons in place branding. It seeks to analyze the images of places that are produced, and the representations of persons that are used in branding practices. Largely this use is located within a tourist discourse, begging the question how tourists take part in the shaping of these cities. In sum, the study aims to examine constructions of the past and the present, as well as representations of gender. The main question is which parts of the history of a city are described and which sites are highlighted. Four cases studies are presented. First, the uses of the heritage connected with author Selma Lagerlöf in and around Sunne are examined, in particular her former residence, Mårbacka, now musealized. Second, Uppsala's and Småland's uses of the Carl Linnaeus heritage are surveyed. Third, the uses of inventor Johan Petter Johansson in Enköping are studied, and fourth the tourist and heritage practices around fictional police detective Kurt Wallander in Ystad are examined. Taken at face value, these examples differ from each other in many ways. The aim of the dissertation is to track these differences, but also the likenesses in practices, meaning production and visualizations. In sum, the aim of this dissertation is to examine how the productions of meaning are influenced through the use of these individuals. How do visitors influence the production on these heritage sites? Is there room for change in descriptions of persons and places? How are ideas of authenticity produced when places are viewed through one individual? What ideas of gender and masculinity are produced?

Innehåll/Content: Elsa Beskow was an artist and a writer who for 50 years, from the turn of the 19th century, produced a wide variety of books for children. The books have been read for several generations and are translated into multiple languages, and they are still released and appreciated. This essay is based on literature studies and several different art scientific image analysis on selected paintings from Elsa Beskow picture books. The aim is to investigate how the children and their environments are portrayed in her picture books. The theoretical approach assumes that it is possible to preform image analysis on picture book paintings. In the analysis, Beskow’s contemporary theoretical ideas about children, education and also later feminist theory have been taken into account. The methodical approach is based on different image analysis as formal and style analysis according to Wölfflin, iconographic and iconological analysis according to Panofsky, semiotic analys according to Barthes and feminist image analysis or analysis from a gender perspective. The paintings that are analysed are from Children from the Forest, The Flowers’ Festival, The Children of Hat Cottage, Emily and Daisy and Petter and Lotta’s Christmas. The results of my analysis focused on how the children's environments are portrayed. For the showing, the environments are divided into multiple categories: the physical environment (country and city, exteriors and interiors), the family situation (different family constellations), children's education and schooling including ethics and morals, norms and values, the food situation and realism were set against fantasy. The comparison of the analytical methods provided that the formal and style analysis are appropriate to use on picture book paintings, as well as the description and interpretation of the iconographic analysis. The results demonstrated that iconological and semiotic analysis, respectively, were possible but not optimal. Analysis from a gender perspective was suitable. Lastly, the literature studies gave insight into how much of Elsa Beskow's life is reflected in her books.

The purpose of this essay is to discuss what kind of normativity can be considered acceptable in academic theology today in Sweden. This I do by critically and comparatively analyze two debates. The first debate is from Sweden and has its origin in the book Den okände Jesus written by Cecilia Wassén och Tobias Hägerland. The second debate is an international debate about Joseph Ratzingers or Benedict XVI book Jesus of Nazareth. For the purpose of comparison I am working with three analytical questions. I am asking the different texts whether the author express any ontological assumptions or if he or she argumenting at a epistemological level, what enables intersubjective verifiability according to the author and what kind of methods does the author see as acceptable to reach historical knowledge? This questions works as a methodological cluster and the answers indicate what the authors think about acceptable normativity in academic theology. After that I identify similarities and divergences and I ́m comparing different positions and arguments. Finally I evaluate the reasonability of these positions and argument. The reader will be lead to the conclusion that intersubjective verifiability in academic theology and exegetic doesn ́t demand naturalistic or empirical points of departure but rather transparency and cognitive understandable argument which includes theological normative arguments and research. An attitude I name as methodological reciprocity.
