Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur mannen konstrueras hos Maria Sandel. Några noveller ur Vid svältgränsen och andra berättelser analyseras, liksom ett par kapitel ur Familjen Vinge, samt en episod ur Mannen som reste sig.Tesen är att mannen hos Sandel konstrueras i förhållande till hemmet. Vid detta kan man urskilja två roller. Den ena är mannen som sabotör, den andra är mannen som konstruktör. Mannen som konstruktör blir också, i sin kontext, till en utopi.Fokus för analysen är skötsamhetsbegreppet och hemmet. Dessutom diskuteras Ellen Keys inflytande över författarskapet och hur det yttrar sig i texterna. Slutsatsen är att Ellen Keys idéer är närvarande men att Sandel förhåller sig ambivalent till dem. Denna ambivalens kan i viss mån härledas till motsägelser hos Ellen Key själv. De utopiska mansrollerna, där mannen intar en omvårdande roll, utgör också exempel på detta.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore contemporary communitarian thinker Michael J. Sandel¡¦s political philosophy concerning one that realizes the importance of ¡§virtue¡¨ and ¡§ends¡¨ in citizenship and the state. I argue that although Sandel is often known as one of the most compelling critics of John Rawls¡¦ justice theory, his more ambitious commitment since 1984 is to provide a vision about the nature and aim of political life through insights of civic republicanism. The goal of this essay is to sort out Sandel¡¦s perspectives on these normative statements. Introducing from the debates between justice and the good in ethics, I explain what motivates me to write this essay and briefly describe the framework and approach of the thesis. In the second chapter, I elaborate Sandel¡¦s philosophical anthropology. Different from Rawls¡¦ the conception of human, Sandel¡¦s version is one with moral disposition¡X¡Xthat is to say, at the moment when we ask ourselves ¡§ who am I¡H¡¨, it comes to the answer that we are constitutive beings, rather than unencumbered selves from nowhere. Only when an agent is capable of self-reflection and recognizing how self is situated can self-knowledge and political practices possible. In short, only in a political community can spirit of citizenship be realized. In chapter three, I trace Sandel¡¦s argument and point out the fact that the theory and practice of contemporary liberalism has practically become a synonym to procedural republic. It is presented not only the ideas of ¡§rights as trumps¡¨ and neutral state, but also revealed by the erosion of community and the loss of self-government. Therefore, how to rebuild moral life in modern democratic practices has become an important task for people of our time. Following the political tradition of republicanism in American history, Sandelian republicanism, inherence of Aristotlian perfectionism, stresses the importance of political community as a whole to cultivate civic virtue. So I discuss the meaning of freedom/liberty and self-government. Through above discussions, I try to reveal Sandel¡¦s idea of democracy that insists conserving certain conceptions of the good, common ends and substantial moral contents in political life. In chapter four, I deal with how Sandel respond to the tension between republicanism and liberalism. From communitarianism to republicanism, I am persuaded that the core of Sandel¡¦s philosophy lies in the idea of citizenship and the ends of state. Civic virtues are so intrinsic to political life and will help to lead us to a good life. State or government shouldn¡¦t just be neutral but should play a role in developing good citizens. In final chapter, I concluded that Sandel¡¦s concerns to community and citizen and his republican ideals revive an yet long forgotten tradition in democratic thoughts.

Cora Sandel published three collections of short stories during the 1920’s and the 1930’s; En blå sofa og andre noveller (“A blue sofa”, 1927), Carmen og Maja og andre noveller (“Carmen and Maja”, 1932) and Mange takk doktor, noveller (“Many thanks, Doctor”, 1935). However, the studies of Cora Sandel’s work have mostly focused on her three novels about Alberte. This thesis is an attempt to shed light on the short stories from the interwar period, from the perspective of artistry. Cora Sandel started out as a visual artist herself, but, rather unwillingly, abandoned it for writing when painting became harder to combine with being a mother and a wife. This thesis looks at how artistry is portraited in the short stories. Many kinds of artistry are discussed; painting as well as writing, acting, crafts and musicality. What is artistry associated with and what roles does it play? Short stories have been selected from the three collections where artistry plays a significant role. The result is accounted for in four segments, each about an aspect of how artistry is portraited in the short stories; “Incompatible Parenthood”, “Passion”, “Poverty” and “Men, Women and Artistry”.

Although the ideal of liberal neutrality remains common in political philosophy, some authors argue that moral judgments are indispensable in public decisions. In particular, Michael J. Sandel has proposed that the question of legalizing same-sex marriage cannot be settled without ideas about the value and purpose of marriage. In this study, the final debate in the Swedish parliament about gender-neutral marriage is analyzed in terms of members of parliament’s opinions on state neutrality. It is shown that the ideal of moral neutrality are either rejected or accepted, but in the latter case the value-neutral ideal is not sustained throughout the course of the debate. Instead, members of parliament invoke ideas about the moral value of marriage and same-sex relationships. This adds some credibility to Sandel’s opinion that important public decisions rely on conceptions on what constitutes a good life. However, the ultimate success of Sandel’s argument depends on whether state recognition of civil marriage in itself can be justified on value-neutral grounds.

This aims signals an attempt to solve a problem internal justice as fairness but became the target of external critics, who saw in this situation their practical and conceptual limits. Even acknowledging external criticism, the proposed solution to the limits presented involves an internal response. The proposal includes: ?) the displacement of the problem of priority to the problem of congruence; ?) the affirmation of the relevance of conceptions of good, both from the moral and political point of view, of a conception of justice; ?) the recognition that a rejection of a vision of good could weaken political institutions. The implication of this perspective is that any absolute understanding of these perspectives is undone if emphasized the elements of justice and good in the perspective of congruence. Given these objectives and proposals, the research plan is based on the state of how this question is found in the work of Rawls, either in terms of priority or of congruence. Then are the critical considerations that Sandel presents as limits to the realization of that theory of justice and that form of political liberalism. Namely, that justice cannot be primary and that political liberalism leads to a loss of the politics of good (common, public). The result is a "procedural republic". The last part is to demonstrate that the problem of congruence ? that of showing the possibility of a theory of justice finding a place within the conceptions of good ? it is not rejected by liberalism. This idea reinforces the possibility of Rawls's theory goes beyond the limits indicated by Sandel. / O objetivo desta pesquisa sobre a cr?tica de Michael Sandel a John Rawls ? investigar a possibilidade de se efetivar outra solu??o, para os limites da teoria da justi?a e do liberalismo pol?tico, ao problema da prioridade do justo sobre o bem. Esse objetivo sinaliza uma tentativa de resolu??o de um problema, interno a justi?a como equidade, mas que se tornou alvo dos cr?ticos externos, que viram nessa situa??o os seus limites, pr?ticos e conceituais. Mesmo a cr?tica externa sendo reconhecida, a proposta de solu??o para os limites apresentados abrange uma resposta interna, que envolve: ?) uma guinada do problema da prioridade para o problema da congru?ncia; ?) a afirma??o da relev?ncia das concep??es de bem, tanto para o ponto de vista moral, quanto pol?tico, de uma concep??o de justi?a; e, ?) o reconhecimento de que uma rejei??o de uma vis?o de bem poderia enfraquecer as institui??es pol?ticas. A implica??o desse ponto de vista ? que, enfatizados os elementos da justi?a e do bem na perspectiva da congru?ncia, desfaz-se qualquer compreens?o absoluta destes aspectos. ? luz desses objetivos e propostas, o plano de investiga??o ? realizado ao se partir do estado de como essa quest?o encontrase na obra de Rawls, seja no que se refere ? prioridade, seja no que se refere ? congru?ncia. Em seguida, encontram-se as considera??es cr?ticas que Sandel apresenta como limites para a realiza??o daquela teoria da justi?a e daquela forma de liberalismo pol?tico, a saber, que a justi?a n?o pode ser prim?ria e que o liberalismo pol?tico conduz a uma perda da pol?tica do bem (comum, p?blico). O resultado ? uma ?rep?blica procedimental?. A ?ltima parte consiste em demonstrar que o problema da congru?ncia ? aquele de mostrar a possibilidade de uma teoria da justi?a encontrar lugar dentro das concep??es de bem ? n?o ? rejeitado pelo liberalismo, refor?ando, assim, a possibilidade da teoria de Rawls ir al?m dos limites apontados por Sandel.

Taking Yvonne Hirdman's theory about the gender system as a starting point I will show how the living conditions and the different roles of men and women are represented in the novel and how they are changing during the centuries before and after the First World War. I am particularly interested in Alberte, the main character, what attitude she takes to her position in the gender system and in what way she differs from the traditional female model. Is she a New Woman, a different ”species”, who doesn't fit into the rigid gender system? Does the New Woman have a male counterpart, and is he to be found in the novel?
