32	Bönens praktik : en teoretisk analys av Sarah Coakleys, Margareta Melins och Wilfrid Stinissens texter om bönens praxis Kling Einarsson, Malin January 2022 (has links) In this essay Sarah Coakley’s, Margaret Melin’s and Wilfred Stinissen’s texts on the use of prayer are analyzed with the help of Justin Barret’s theory of theological correctness and DZ Philips’ ideas on prayer. The essay is focused on finding out how useful they are to the study of prayer in practice. Parallels are also drawn between theological correctness and political correctness. The analyses show that Barret’s theories are useful, but not in the way formulated by him. Examination of the theologians’ writings in this essay shows that Barret’s theory is too narrow concerning how theologically correct thought develops. The theologians all had different theories on achieving a paradigmatic prayer, but not correctly from a theological point of view according to Barret. It seems that the social context plays a greater part in how theologians reach prayer in a manner that is correct to them, than the manner in which Barret formulates context in his theory. If cognitive context is interpreted in a wider concept, his theory becomes more easily applicable. DZ Phillip’s ideas about prayer is also useful to relate to the theologians’ texts, as they all assume that prayer is total dedication to God. But the theologians realize the challenges of prayer differently from the way that Philips does. The parallel between theological and political correctness raises discussion, as all the theologians, consciously or unconsciously, indicate norms for prayer that in a religious context can be interpreted as “politically incorrect” and represent norms for correctness that should be regarded critically. prayer theological correctness political correctness norms context Justin Barrett DZ Phillips bön teologisk korrekthet politisk korrekthet normer kontext Justin Barrett DZ Phillips Religious Studies Religionsvetenskap

Б., Gabibli, G. B. January 2021 (has links) Диссертация посвящена идентификации стратегий эвфемизации/дисфемизации при освещении конфликта в Нагорном Карабахе англоязычными СМИ. Показано, что обе стратегии в равной степени связаны с цитированием участников Второй Карабахской войны (Азербайджана и Армении). Осуществлена попытка идентифицировать «медийное поведение» конфликтующих сторон, не желающих брать на себя ответственность за эскалацию конфликта, но готовых отстаивать свои права на спорную территорию. / The paper is devoted to the identification of euphemization/dysphemization strategies in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as covered by the English-language media. It is shown that both strategies are equally related to quoting the participants of the Second Karabakh War (Azerbaijan and Armenia). An attempt was made to identify the «media behavior» of the conflicting parties, who do not want to take responsibility for the escalation of the conflict, but are ready to defend their territorial rights.

34	Den politiska läroboken : Bilden av USA och Sovjetunionen i norska, svenska och finländska läroböcker under Kalla kriget / Political textbooks : The depiction of the USA and the Soviet Union in Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish schoolbooks during the Cold War Holmén, Janne Sven-Åke January 2006 (has links) During the Cold War, Norway was a member of NATO, Sweden was neutral but depended on Western support in the event of a crisis, while Finland's foreign policy priority was to win and retain the Soviet Union's confidence. The purpose of the thesis is to study whether the three small states' different foreign policy choices had consequences for the ways in which the Soviet Union and the USA were depicted in school textbooks for history, geography, and social sciences in the period 1930 to 2004. To this end, a theory derived from small states' strategies to maintain their independence was applied to textbook production. The study demonstrates that there was a link between small state foreign policy and textbooks' accounts of the USA and Soviet Union. Swedish and Norwegian textbooks portray international conflicts from a legalistic perspective, taking the part of small states exposed to superpower aggression such as Vietnam and Afghanistan. In Finnish textbooks, however, an interest in defending small state's rights yielded to the need to demonstrate their goodwill towards the Soviet Union, which was described in far less critical terms than in Swedish and Norwegian textbooks. In time, in the name of neutrality, depictions of the USA also became increasingly uncritical. All three Nordic states had government authorities charged with inspecting and approving school textbooks. Foreign policy's chief influence on textbooks was not effected by direct oversight, however; instead, it was established indirectly by means of the social climate, which determined what was considered politically correct in the three countries, and it was to this that the textbooks' authors adapted their work. Textbooks are often said to be conservative and slow to change, but the thesis shows that in parts they were politically sensitive, rapidly adapting to changes in what society held to be politically correct.

The jokes of stand-up comedians are reflections of contemporary cultural notions and discourses. Stand-up comedy can also be seen as a form a cultural free zone where one is allowed to express oneself in ways that are not possible in other public contexts. In this study I am investigating how Swedish stand-up comedians relate to cultural notions about gender, sexuality, ethnicity/race, places, age, disabilities, social class and mental illness. By applying an intersectional perspective I am able to show how various power structures can interact and strengthen each other. The main empirical material consists of three observations at different stand-up comedy clubs and four interviews with stand-up comedians. By using cultural analysis as an analysis method I am showing how stand-up comedy both reflects and is affected by larger structural patterns and discourses in society. My analysis shows that stand-up comedians are both reproducing and challenging normative cultural notions. A variety of theoretical concepts are used to analyse how standup comedians are joking about prevailing cultural notions. For example am I using gender theories to analyse jokes about notions of gender and sexuality while postcolonial concepts as well as theories about racification are applied in the analysis of jokes connected to cultural notions about race and ethnicity. In some of the jokes different cultural notions are intertwined. Furthermore I am analysing how the stand-up comedians are reflecting over what they are allowed to joke about, depending on their own background and experiences as well as how they are relating to different discourses. Stand-up comedy is still dominated by a masculine discourse that has only recently been challenged by a feminist discourse, which stand-up comedians relate to in different ways. How stand-up comedians navigate between political correctness and the discourse that comedians should be able to joke about everything is also part of my investigation. Finally, I am analysing different comic strategies used by the stand-up comedians in their performances, which affect how they are joking about various cultural notions. Some comedians are joking about themselves in a self-deprecatory way while others invites the audience to join the perspective of an assumed normative community to make jokes about what makes other groups different. stand-up comedy cultural analysis intersectionality gender sexuality ethnicity race place age disability social class mental illness political correctness ståuppkomik kulturanalys intersektionalitet genus sexualitet etnicitet ras plats ålder funktionsnedsättning klass psykisk ohälsa politiskt korrekt Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst

Studien tar ett avstamp i tidigare forskning berörande populism, euroscepticism, GAL-TAN dimensionen, och applicerar detta till ett inte tidigare tillämpat teoretiskt perspektiv för denna typ av forskning, politisk korrekthet. Syftet med studien är att beskriva och kategorisera de huvudteser samt argument som förs i kritiken gentemot ett påstått PK-etablissemang i EU:s viktigaste och enda demokratiskt valda organ. De huvudteser som återfanns i argumentationen var följande: att EU består av ett etablissemang som underminerar EU-medborgarnas sanna vilja med PK-het, att EU är i politisk kris då yttrandefriheten förtrycks, att EU bär på en dubbelmoral av vilka åsikter som får uttryckas och inte, att EUs överstatlighet försummar nationernas egna intressen, och att PK- etablissemanget i EU förvrider den objektiva sanningen och kallar sina motståndarna för populister likt ett retoriskt vapen. Det nytillämpade teoretiska perspektivet, PK, bidrar med ett nytt synsätt på den politiska debatten och de dimensioner av sociala normer som tycks styra det politiska talrummet. politisk korrekthet political correctness EU debattanalys argumentationsanalys populism euroscepticism GAL-TAN PK-etablissemang yttrandefrihet
38	Toward reestablishing a Christian worldview in a postmodern age Mathews, Ned Lee, 1934- 11 1900 (has links) This work is comprised of an Introduction and two Parts. Part One treats, by way of historical review and evaluation, the disestablishment of the Christian worldview in a postmodern age. Part Two proposes the means by whichthe Christian worldview might be reestablished. The reestablishment includes the use of some of the benefits of postmodernism by Christians as well as a return to the responsible reading of texts, especially the biblical text. Part One, The Disestablishment of the Christian Worldview, is composed ofthree chapters. Chapter 1chronicles the change that has occurred in Western culture because of the ascendency of postmodernism. It isbest described as a change in authorityfrom the logocentric metanarrative which has characterized Christianity to the deconstructionist rejection of worldviews by postmodern literary critics. Chapter 2 reviews the paradigm shifts that have occurred in belief systemsthat have occurred in the West as a result of this change,and Chapter 3 shows the effects of all this in the culture's principal institutions. Part Two, The Reestablishment of the Christian Worldview, is also composed of three chapters. Chapter 4 shows the impact that postmodernity has had on the efforts now being made on behalf of reestablishing the Christian worldview as a viable intellectual position in Western culture. Chapter 5 is occupied with the negative and positive responses of certain Christian scholars to the challenge of postmodernism, and Chapter 6 closes the study with an extended treatment of the factors that must be in play for a reestablishment of the Christian worldview to occur in Western civilization. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / D.

40	Özz Nûjens ståuppkomik som diskursiv praktik: Humor, PK och självmotsägelser Connor Jutterstedt, Emelie January 2017 (has links) Humour has for a long time been regarded as something unproblematic that in general shouldn’t be taken seriously, and humour research has mainly focused its positive functions and effects. However, humour is indeed a social and discursive practise that, just like others, have social implications. The aim of this essay is, informed by an intersectional perspective, to problematize and critically examine stand-up comedy as discursive practise and to make visible how humour build upon dominating discourses in society. The aim is also to examine the self-contradictory dimension of the jokes. In a critical discourse analysis of Özz Nûjen’s show Dålig stämning (2013), using PC (political correctness) as an overall analytical framework, the analytical categories ‘women’ as well as ‘ethnicity and culture’ are focused. My conclusion is that in all cases of Nûjen’s prerogative of interpretation, ‘stupidity’, as the lowest common denominator, sticks to symbols, bodies and phenomenon that are associated with something deviant or negative. By what is not expressed, a white, normative Swedish PC-identity is constructed as the abstract, preferable subject. Nûjen’s stand-up comedy, i.a. in expressions of self-contradiction, proves to mainly reinforce social norms. Consequently, negative preconceptions and biased representations of reality are cemented. Though Nûjen does contribute to sociocultural change to some extent, the elaborations of the jokes in most cases prove to sustain the social order. A renegotiation of identities is therefore made strictly limited. However, in one case, Nûjen does challenge the notion of identities as fixed and essential, when renegotiating the master status and construction of “The ethnical Other woman”.
