Utifrån sex intervjuer med kolloledare, som uppsatsen baseras på, framkommer att en tydlig skiljelinje görs mellan kollo och livet utanför. Kollo beskrivs som en särskild och annorlunda värld. För intervjupersonerna innebär arbetet på kollo att separeras från sin vanliga kontext för att istället bli del av ett nytt och relativt slutet sammanhang. Genom att bland annat tillämpa Michel Foucaults idéer om heterotopier och antropologen Victor Turners tankar om liminalitet och communitas skapas förståelse för hur kollo som rum inverkar på ledarnas villkor, förutsättningar, handlingsmöjligheter, relationer, tankar, sinnesstämningar och kroppsuppfattningar. Uppsatsens övergripande intresseområde är rum, sammanhang och varande som erfars och konstrueras som något utöver det vanliga och vardagliga. / <p>Uppsatsventilering ägde rum den 13-01-2023 på Stockholms universitet. </p>

A través de su dramaturgia, las autoras Clorinda Matto de Turner y María Jesús Alvarado, contribuyeron a rebatir las narrativas de su época sobre la mujer peruana, desde la apropiación de dos figuras históricas, Hima Suma y La Perricholi. Ya que generaron la evolución de sus personajes, en términos narrativos, hacia su empoderamiento, cada uno, en correspondencia a su época. Propongo que dos estrategias de esta construcción son relevantes para visibilizar la postura de ambas dramaturgas sobre los mandatos de género: el cuerpo como algo visible y autónomo, y la palabra como medio para la toma de decisión, sobre ellas mismas y su futuro, y, también, para poder hacerse visible y tomar presencia frente al otro. Desde el cuerpo, María Jesús Alvarado propone para el personaje principal, Micaela, un cuerpo envolvente y cautivador, que cuestiona y se muestra inexorable ante sus interlocutores. En el caso de Hima Sumac, Matto de Turner propone que el cuerpo de la protagonista es un cuerpo firme y valiente, que resiste, ante los adversos sucesos que acontecen en la obra. En relación con la palabra, los diálogos críticos y reflexivos por parte de La Perricholi, y sensibles y valientes por parte de Hima Sumac; presentan que ambos personajes se constituyen en el acto de tomar la palabra, son mujeres que pueden usar su voz. Así, en la apropiación de ambos personajes, las dramaturgas lograron insertar temas relevantes de la lucha por la igualdad de género en el espacio público de su tiempo a través del cuerpo y la palabra de las propias mujeres en escena.

Buddhist prison outreach is a relatively recent development, in the United States of America and elsewhere, and has yet to be chronicled satisfactorily. This thesis traces the physical, legal and social environment in which such activities take place and describes the history of Buddhist prison outreach in the USA from its earliest indications in the 1960s to the present day. The mechanics of Buddhist prison outreach are also examined. Motivations for participating in Buddhist prison outreach are discussed, including Buddhist textual supports, role models and personal benefits. This paper then proposes that volunteers active in this area are members of a liminal communitas as per Victor Turner and benefit from ‘non-player’ status, as defined by Ashis Nandy. The experiences of the inmates themselves is beyond the scope of this thesis. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religious Studies)

This thesis explores how Shakespeare was used by Antebellum American writers to frame slave revolts as either criminal or revolutionary. By specifically addressing The Confessions of Nat Turner by Thomas R. Gray and "The Heroic Slave" by Frederick Douglass, this paper looks at the way invocations of Shakespeare framed depictions of black violence. At a moment when what it means to be American was questioned, American writers like Gray and Douglass turned to Shakespeare and the British roots of the English language in order to structure their respective arguments. In doing so, these texts illuminate how transatlantic identity still permeated American thought. This thesis also argues that the conscious use of British literature, Shakespeare in particular, by abolitionists constitutes a critique of the unfulfilled American ideals they believe slavery undermines. In addressing depictions of slave revolts and black masculinity in this period, this thesis explores how allusions to Shakespeare helped frame the historiography surrounding how slave revolts in America were and are remembered.

Ce mémoire propose une étude de la théorie de l’individualité biologique développée par Turner, des problèmes inhérents à celle-ci ainsi qu’une approche qui permet de surmonter les problèmes de la théorie de Turner tout en prenant en compte les aspects importants de cette dernière. Nous montrerons en premier lieu pourquoi, selon Turner, l’individualité est une question écologique et que l’individu ne peut être compris sans ses parties abiotiques si celles-ci jouent un rôle dans la fonctionnalité de l’individu. Par la suite, nous démontrerons que l’approche de Turner est sujette au problème du paradigme développé par Haber. Enfin, en s’inspirant de la théorie de l’individualité de Dupré et O’Malley et de leurs études sur les bactéries, nous forgerons une nouvelle théorie portée sur la fonctionnalité, qualifiée d’approche méréologique, qui surmonte les problèmes exposés tout en prenant en compte le rôle que les parties abiotiques jouent dans le fonctionnement de l’individu. / This master’s thesis consists in a study of the theory of biological individuality developed by Turner, its problems, as well as an approach of individuality that allows us to overcome Turner’s problems while also taking into account the important aspects of his theory. We will start off by showing that, according to Turner, individuality is an ecological matter since an individual cannot be understood without its abiotic parts if the latter play a role in the individual’s functionality. Afterwards we will demonstrate that Turner’s theory is subject to Haber’s problem of the paradigm. Lastly, by building upon Dupré and O’Malley’s theory of individuality and their studies on bacteria, we will develop a new approach focused on functionality, named mereological approach, which overcomes the problems we find in Turner’s theory while also taking into account the role that abiotic parts play in the functionality of individuals.

Esta investigación describe la situación de la educación de las mujeres peruanas de la élite limeña a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Analizando los aspectos educativos presentados en las novelas Herencia y Blanca Sol, de Clorinda Matto de Turner y Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera respectivamente, se explican e interpretan las características de la educación que se ofrecía a niñas y jóvenes en la capital del Perú. Por un lado, los colegios privados de la época presentaban tanto un currículo expreso y como un currículum oculto, de entre los cuales el último operaba con gran eficacia como respuesta a la falta de coherencia entre el discurso y la práctica educativa. En este sentido, se cuestiona si la educación brindada en los colegios católicos era la más adecuada para formar a las madres de los ciudadanos de la nueva república, así como para preparar a la mujer con la autonomía y criterio suficientes para autosostenerse, para dirigir su hogar y para vivir coherentemente de acuerdo a principios humanos y cristianos. Por otro lado, la educación en el hogar estaba bajo la responsabilidad de la madre de familia. Se esperaba que la mujer se condujera en todo según el ideal femenino católico de ángel del hogar y que, de acuerdo a dichos parámetros, educara a sus hijas. El análisis permite comprobar cómo la educación de las mujeres se desarrollaba de espaldas a la realidad, imitando modelos extranjeros y resultando de poca utilidad para responder a las exigencias de la vida en el Perú. Esto ocurría porque hasta ese momento la sociedad no llegaba a comprender todavía los aportes intelectuales acerca de la educación de la mujer presentados por las autoras de las novelas estudiadas en esta tesis, investigación que representa una oportunidad para hacer las revisiones y reflexiones pertinentes / This research describes women´s education in nineteenth century in Perú, focused on high society girls. It analyses educational topics in Herencia and Blanca Sol, novels written by Clorinda Matto de Turner and Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera. In these plays it is possible to see the way hidden curriculum was very strong in girls’ schools because of the incoherence between speech and practice. Aims of education are also analyzed considering women possibilities to live by themselves, to organize and manage their own homes by making responsible use of money or getting a good job. It is also questioned if that type of education was the best to afford the needs of the new republic and if it was in good path to educate the mothers of the future Peruvian citizens. / Tesis

Spain's invasion of the Andes initiated a social drama unprecedented in the experience of the Andean natives. Spanish and Spanish-conscripted native chroniclers wrote extensively about Inca pageantry, spectacle, and ritual, and hastily attributed pagan belief to performances they witnessed or heard about. With equal haste, the Spanish appropriated performance as means of introducing and enforcing Christianity. In this thesis, I treat performance as the central feature of Andean Colonial transition. Performance may be viewed as an ephemeral feature of the Andean transition but fortunately, in mortuary performances (dealing with death and treatment of the body); there are many theatrical elements that survive in mortuary contexts (e.g., staging, setting, costumes, make-up, props, and choreography). Archaeology, history, and ethnographic observation together illustrate that performance has alternately established, celebrated, or subverted Andean power relations during hundreds of years. Mortuary performances are especially excellent commentaries about religious climate of Colonial Peru. In this thesis I analyze mortuary performance in Colonial and contemporary Peru. I argue that the Colonial Spanish saw performance as evidence of belief and sought to transform pagan belief to Christian belief. Ultimately, communities, religion, and performance itself were transformed; integrated and reintegrated into dynamic personal and public expressions.
