Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’analyser les manifestations oniriques (rêve, hallucination, projection mentale) dans six films de Terry Gilliam réalisés entre 1985 et 2009 : Brazil, Fisher King, L’Armée des douze singes, Las Vegas parano, Tideland et L’Imaginarium du docteur Parnassus. Après avoir déterminé l’étendue et les limites de l’espace onirique, la première partie en décrit les principales caractéristiques sur le plan dramatique (organisation et place des manifestations dans les films) et sur le plan formel (effets oniriques). La deuxième partie s’intéresse plus particulièrement au corps du héros "gilliamien", qui sert d’interface entre le réel et l’onirisme, en insistant sur trois points : le mouvement du corps, l’importance accordée au regard et la capacité de dédoublement. Enfin, la troisième partie aborde les manifestations oniriques sous l’angle de la dimension critique à l’œuvre dans ces six films. À partir d’une vision pessimiste de l’existence tempérée par des notes d’espoir, Gilliam remet en cause les sociétés occidentales contemporaines, leur matérialisme et leur idéologie libéraleThis Ph.D. attempts to analyse the numerous dreamlike scenes (dreams, hallucinations, mind projections) to be found in six films directed by Terry Gilliam from 1985 to 2009: Brazil, The Fisher King, Twelve Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Tideland, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The first part delineates the range and limits of the dreamlike occurrences as well as their main characteristics, both on the dramatic side (the organisation and distribution of dreamlike scenes) and on the formal side (dreamlike effects). The second part deals with the main character’s body as an interface between the “real world” and the dream world depicted by the films, laying emphasis on three aspects: the body language, the all-important gaze and the hero’s ability to split himself in two. Finally, the third part studies how the dreamlike scenes contribute to build up Gilliam’s critical stance toward the modern world. Informed by a pessimistic view on human life barely alleviated by some glimpses of hope, Gilliam challenges the contemporary occidental societies, which he sees as suffused with materialism and a free-enterprise ideology

Deroche, Sophie. "L'esthétique grotesque chez Lydie Salvayre, Tim Burton et Terry Gilliam : dénonciation et échappatoire de la société contemporaine du simulacre." Thesis, Reims, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013REIML003.
Full textAbstract:
Les œuvres de l'écrivain française Lydie Salvayre et des cinéastes américains Tim Burton et Terry Gilliam présentent une même dénonciation de la société du simulacre à travers une esthétique grotesque. Ils contestent dans leurs œuvres la pratique de la novlangue, celle du politiquement correct et le mélange de la réalité avec la fiction. Le fonctionnement dialectique du grotesque et sa capacité à procurer un vertige étonnant lui permet de rendre visible ces contradictions. La modification de l'imaginaire par la société de consommation et du simulacre les préoccupent particulièrement, car les auteurs observent que la transformation des signes en simples signifiants, dont le postmodernisme illustre le fonctionnement, conduisent l'individu à avoir un rapport déformé à la réalité, à la conscience historique et au symbole. Le grotesque est cette esthétique qui leur permet de former des mélanges dans leurs œuvres en préservant l'identité des signifiés et de restaurer ainsi un rapport à l'Histoire et au symbole. Le grotesque est cette esthétique qui permet le mélange sans équivalence, car elle donne à voir les contraires et leur confère du sens. Les auteurs lient leurs œuvres grotesques au mythe, cette fiction particulière qui permet d'avoir un rapport instinctif à la connaissance par le biais d'images particulièrement fortes. Le grotesque, dans sa dimension anthropologique et ontologique, réhabilite en définitive des fictions qui échappent aux problématiques du simulacreThe works of Lydie Salvayre, American movie directors Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam present a similar criticism of a society of simulacrum, by their use of the aesthetically grotesque. In their work, they question the use of newspeak, of the politically correct, and the mixing of reality and fiction. The dialectical working of the grotesque and its ability to produce an astonishing sense of vertigo enables it to bring out these contradictions. They are particularly concerned by the extent to which a society of consumption and simulacrum has modified the imaginary. These autors have observed that the transformation of signs into mere signifiers, something the workings of which are demonstrated in postmodernism, leads the individual to have a distorted relationship with reality, historical awareness and the symbol. The grotesque is that aesthetic form which allows them to make mixes in their work whilst preserving the meaning of the signified and which thereby allows them to restore a relationship to history and the symbol. The grotesque is that esthetic form which allows them to make mixes with no equivalent, since it shows opposites whilst conferring sense on them. The autors link their grotesque works to myth, that kind of fiction which enables us to have a instinctive relationship to knowledge by the means of particularly strong images. When all is said and done, the grotesque, in its anthropological and ontological dimension, reinstates a fiction which avoids the problems of simulacrum

Full textAbstract:
The type of commentary a narrative is able to make is fully dependant on the type of narrator who is relating it. The visual elements present in a film are the true narrational forces which guide it. The presence of the camera, the use of lighting, the architecture, and the objects present in the film each have their own meaning. These elements come together to make a greater commentary than the dialogue. How these meanings interact with each other is what defines what type of narrator is present in the film. By analyzing what type of narrator is relating the story it is possible to examine what commentary the film is able to make. Mike Nichols? 1967 film The Graduate and Terry Gilliam?s 1998 film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson?s 1971 literary work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas make commentaries that act as bookends for the ideals of the youth culture during the late 1960?s. Where as The Graduate is condemning the shining emptiness of 1967 suburban California society which its narrator inhabits, Fear and Loathing?s narrator is depicting the twisted abomination which grew within the emptiness of that society during those four years. The fact that Gilliam?s adaptation came 27 years after the source material was created allows for an even more specific translation of Thompson?s message. The Graduate is looking towards the unknown future where as Fear and Loathing is look backwards at the results. The Graduate is commenting on the current situation and looking forwards where as Fear and Loathing is looking backwards to see what has happened in the interim. It is this difference that forces the type of narration and the visual style employed by the films to be diametrically opposed.

Full textAbstract:
As narrativas em torno da busca do Graal tiveram origem no século XI e foram de grande importância para fixar a imagem de um personagem típico da sociedade medieval, o cavaleiro, como um novo modelo heroico. Nesse sentido, os cavaleiros que encontraram o Graal nessas narrativas, especialmente no ciclo literário conhecido como Matéria da Bretanha, representam a configuração máxima desse paradigma. Esta pesquisa visa analisar a permanência de tal imagem no cinema, que é igualmente uma arte narrativa, como o eram as novelas de cavalaria que originaram o modelo. O corpus a ser analisado são três significativas obras do cineasta norte-americano Terry Gilliam que direta ou indiretamente retomam a questão do Graal: Monty Python em busca do Cálice sagrado (Monty Phyton and The Holy Grail, 1974), O pescador de ilusões (The Fisher King, 1991) e Os doze macacos (Twelve Monkeys, 1995). Assim, procura-se com esta tese traçar um panorama das retomadas da imagem literária e medieval dos cavaleiros no cinema, assim como observar as mudanças no padrão dessas imagens descritas literariamente para sua representação óptico-sonoraThe narratives around the quest for the Grail originated in the XI century and were of great importance to fix the image of a typical character of medieval society , the knight , as a new heroic style. In this sense, the knights who found the Grail in these narratives, especially in the literary cycle known as the Matter of Britain, represent the maximum configuration of this paradigm . This research aims to examine the permanence of such an image on film , it is also a narrative art , as were the novels of chivalry which originated the style. The corpus to be analyzed are three significant works of American filmmaker Terry Gilliam who directly or indirectly reproduce the issue Grail : Monty Python and The Holy Grail , 1974; The Fisher King, 1991 and Twelve Monkeys, 1995. Thus, looking to give an overview of thesis resumed literary image and medieval knights in film, as well as observe the changes in the pattern of these images described literarily to optical - sound representation

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats var att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur unga tänker och handlar kring ”likes och om de gör det till en värdering där de kan mäta sig själv och andra både när det gäller online som offline. För att ta reda på detta undersökte vi om det sociala samspelet både online och offline påverkas av denna eventuella värdering. Forskning visar på att sociala medier har en påverkan på unga, dock finns det ingen forskning om just ”likesfenomenet” och hur det tar sig uttryck bland unga användare av sociala medier. Studien är av kvalitativ art och har genomförts med hjälp av fokusgrupper vilka senare har tolkats utifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv samt med stöd av teorier så som socialt kapital (Bourdieu), jaget och maskerna (Goffman) och panoptikon (Foucault). Huvudresultatet visar att unga tillskriver en värdering av sig själv och andra utifrån antalet ”likes”. Denna värdering har visat sig innehålla både positiva och negativa effekter. Positiva effekter på så vis att omtyckta och populära personer offline får ännu en konfirmation på att de är omtyckta- genom många ”likes” och negativa effekter för de personer som är mindre omtyckta offline genom att de får den tillskrivningen även online- genom få ”likes”. Vårt resultat visar även att unga använder sig av olika tillvägagångsätt och strategier för att uppnå så många ”likes” som möjligt och ett av dem är att framställa sig från sin allra bästa sida på bland annat bilder.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med min undersökning är att se om litteratursamtalet kan öka elevernas lust att läsa genom att samtala tillsammans om litteratur. I kursplanen för ämnet svenska (Lgr-11, 2011) står det att undervisningen ska stimulera elever till att läsa, samt att formulera egna åsikter och tankar. Vidare framhävs litteraturens roll i svenskundervisningen i Lgr-11 samt i forskning genomförd av Tengberg, Chambers, Gibbons, Thorson och Eriksson Barajas. Jag väljer att göra denna undersökning då jag tycker att boksamtalet verkar vara ett intressant arbetssätt och då det visat sig att svenska elever har sjunkande kunskaper i läsförståelse (PISA 2012). Det tillvägagångssätt som ligger till grund för undersökningen baseras på att elever fått i uppgift att läsa en bok. Därefter genomförs ett boksamtal tillsammans med en lärare och en grupp elever. Upplevelsen av detta boksamtal dokumenteras genom forskningsintervjuer med sex elever, där de redogör för vad de lärt sig samt om de efter samtalet har mer läslust än tidigare. I min undersökning kommer jag fram till att eleverna ”gillar att snacka”, d.v.s. de uppskattar boksamtalet som arbetssätt. De föredrar att samtala om litteratur till skillnad mot att bara skriva om den som de tidigare har gjort. Jag kommer även fram till att de elever som i vanliga fall inte läser känner att de har mer motivation att läsa böcker när de vet att de slipper skriva och istället får samtala om boken. De upplever att boksamtalet stimulerar till fortsatt läsning. Undersökningen har gett mig ett nytt arbetssätt som jag kommer att använda mig av i min framtida undervisning.

Sexual arousal is likely an important situational factor in date rape. Research shows that
sexual arousal increases self-reported willingness to engage in sexually aggressive
behaviour. Chapter One reviews the situational, perpetrator, and victim characteristics of
date rape. Chapter Two describes an experiment that examined the effect of sexual
arousal on measures of decision-making, including Risky Choice Task, Balloon
Analogue Risk Task, Future Discounting, and on a measure of Viewing Time.
Participants were 20 heterosexual men and 22 heterosexual women 18 to 25 years old.
Results revealed that sexually aroused women preferred higher variance options
compared to women who were not, and the opposite was observed for men. No other
significant effects were observed. Chapter Three describes Experiment 2 which included
another neutral condition and a measure of sexual decision-making. Results revealed no
effect of condition on behavioural or sexual decision-making, nor on viewing times.
Chapter Four provides a general discussion and directions for future research.ix, 156 leaves; 29 cm

Brower-Latz, Andrew Phillip. "The social philosophy of Gillian Rose : speculative diremptions, absolute ethical life." Thesis, Durham University, 2015. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11302/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides an original reconstruction of Gillian Rose’s work as a distinctive social philosophy within the Frankfurt School tradition that holds together the methodological, logical, descriptive, metaphysical and normative moments of social theory; provides a critical theory of modern society; and offers distinctive versions of ideology critique based on the history of jurisprudence, and mutual recognition based on a Hegelian view of appropriation. Rose’s philosophy integrates three key moments of the Frankfurt tradition: a view of the social totality as both an epistemological necessity and normative ideal; a philosophy that is its own metaphilosophy because it integrates its own logical and social preconditions within itself; and a critical analysis of modern society that is simultaneously a critique of social theory. Rose’s work is original in the way it organises these three moments around absolute ethical life as the social totality, its Hegelian basis, and its metaphysical focus on law and jurisprudence. Rose’s Hegelian philosophy includes an account of reason that is both social and logical without reducing philosophy to the sociology of knowledge, thereby steering between dogmatism and relativism. Central to this position are the historically developing nature of rationality and knowing, and an account of the nature of explanation as depending on a necessarily and necessarily imperfectly posited totality. No totality is ever fully attained but is brought to view through the Hegelian-speculative exposition of history, dirempted experience, and the tensions immanent to social theories. Rose explored one main social totality within her social philosophy – absolute ethical life – as the implied unity of law and ethics, and of finite and infinite. This enables a critique simultaneously and immanently of society and social philosophy in three ways. First, of both the social form of bourgeois property law and social contract theories reflective of it. Second, of social theorising that insufficiently appreciates its jurisprudential determinations and/or attempts to eliminate metaphysics. Third, the broken middle shows the state-civil society and the law-ethics diremptions as two fundamental features of modern society and as frequently unacknowledged influences on social theorising.

Full textAbstract:
SammanfattningTrots att magasin utgör en stor del av mediesystemet har det inte gjorts så mycket forskning på det området. Den forskning som finns handlar främst om magasinens innehåll. Vi har i stället undersökt omslaget eftersom det är det som i första hand säljer magasinet. Livsstilsmagasinen har en bred målgrupp och många titlar innefattas i genren. Därför är deras omslag om möjligt än viktigare än andra tidskrifters för att locka läsare. En stor del av medieinnehållet formas utifrån vad medierna tror att män och kvinnor vill ha och därför har vi valt att undersöka vad det finns för skillnader och likheter mellan livsstilsmagasin som riktar sig till kvinnor och män. Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilka likheter och skillnader man kan hitta mellan omslagen på kvinnomagasinen Cosmopolitan och Solo och mansmagasinen Café och Slitz. Tyngdpunkten i våra resultat bygger på en omfattande kvantitativ innehållsanalys av magasinens omslag från 2007. Vi har där sett till aspekterna omslagsbilden, puffarnas innehåll och placering, färganvändning och logotypens placering. Vi har också genomfört något man kan kalla en kvalitativ överblick av materialet för att se till aspekter som helhetsintryck när det gäller layouten, språk och stil i puffarna, omslagspersonernas utseende, poser och ansiktsuttryck samt sexuella anspelningar i puffar och bilder.Vi har kommit fram till att magasinen uppvisar skillnader i de flesta undersökta aspekterna och att de traditionella könsrollerna visar sig tydligt på de undersökta omslagen. Tjejmagasinen har tjejfärger och använder typiskt kvinnliga ord. Puffarna på tjejtidningarnas omslag är formulerade som tips och uppmaningar och handlar oftast om mode, skönhet, sex och relationer. På tjejtidningarnas omslagsbilder syns vackra kvinnor som ler och tittar in i kameran. Magasinen som riktar sig till män har typiskt manliga ord och färger på sina omslag. Deras puffar är sensationella, skämtsamma eller uppräknande och handlar framförallt om kändisar men också om mode och sex. Den vanligaste omslagsbilden är en lättklädd kvinna med ett förföriskt ansiktsuttryck som talar till mannens lust. De män som ofta pryder Café är fullt påklädda och mest där på grund av något de åstadkommit och inte för att de är snygga. Båda typerna av magasin säljer på sex och liknar varandra layoutmässigt.

Full textAbstract:
Culture, orgin and identity are hot topics that are being discussed everywhere, for example in newspapers, lunchrooms and on Twitter. Politicians, media and ordinary people have displayed different antiracist acts, for example campaigns, marches and political actions. But you may wonder if it really is that effective, or if the antiracism reproduces racism with its language. The purpose of this study is to see if articles from the newspaper Aftonbladet's antiracist campaign ”We like different!” reproduces racism through its language. The method that is used is discourse analysis, more specific Chantal Laclau och Ernesto Mouffes discourse theory. The theories the study relies on are race, racism, framing, racism in news, binary oppositions, stereotypes, whiteness and orientalism. Two discourses were found in the material, ”We like different” and ”We like the same”. The most central piece in the ”We like different”-discourse is ”different”, which is associated with other origins than Swedish and different skincolor than white. ”Swedish” and ”white” are instead connected to ”the same”. ”Different” is portrayed as “the other”, the negative part of an binary opposition against ”the same”. ”We” is an identity the articles gives ”We like different” and is a dominant part of a binary opposition against ”them”. The identity ”immigrant” also exists in the discourse and is build as a stereotype. ”We like the same” is given a ”them” identity. ”Racism” is a central piece in the discourse and is associated with categorizing humans after ”race”. ”The Swedendemocrats” is build as an identity, and is connected to ”ignorance”, ”judging people after the color of their skin” and ”cold”. ”The voters of the Swedendemocrats” is described in a different way than the party itself. The peoples responsibility is taken away and they are instead connected to ”dissatisfaction” and that they ”don't understand” what they are voting for.

Till skillnad från konstnärens beskrivning av verket som ett minne från sin barndom, anser jag det finnas aspekter i det som talar om såväl Dysons som andra kvinnliga konstnärers roll i konstvärlden. Även användandet av kvinnokroppen i konst och som förmedling av konst diskuteras.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a missing link between the British feminist art movement from the 1970s onwards and three contemporary female artists, namely Tracey Emin, Gillian Wearing and Sam Taylor-Wood. The dissertation demonstrates the influence that feminist art has had on contemporary women's art. It shows how various elements, typically associated with feminist art from a previous generation of female artists. have been either consciously or unconsciously incorporated into the way the three artists in question approach their work. The ideas. concerns and ways of working of a previous generation of feminist artists are discussed in relation to gender politics, the idea of the traditional male "genius", the question of feminist art practice, the role of the female body, performance versus performativity and the representation of women in visual culture. The contemporary work is discussed in relation to the above issues, drawing out comparisons to feminist art practice where appropriate. The thesis also contextualises Tracey Emin, Gillian Wearing and Sam Taylor-Wood within the generation of the Young British Artists (YBAs) of the 1990s. Here it focuses on ideas such as self-promotion versus patronage, the particular sensationalist art practice of the YBAs, the problematic attitude towards cultural theory and finally, it demonstrates how women artists of that particular period tended to work. The dissertation does not aim to present a comprehensive survey of all feminist visual arts activity in Britain and North America, the geographical locations of interest for this thesis, nor is it an all encompassing art historical overview of the activities in London, during the 1990s. The thesis should be understood as a celebration of the significance of the feminist art movement and as a demonstration of the validity of many of its concerns, even today, as exemplified in the work of the three artists in question.

Min studie beskriver hur ungdomar framställer sig själva genom Instagram och vad för påverkan det har till deras identitetsskapande. Med hjälp av 10 ungdomar vid 16 års ålder på har jag samlat ihop material som jag kopplat till teori. Dessa teoretiska perspektiv som jag använt mig av är: Identitet från Jostein Gripsrud ”Mediekultur- Mediesamhälle” 2008 samt dramaturgiska perspektivet av Erving Goffman ”Jaget och maskerna” 1974. Jag har tagit inspiration från Kenneth Ögren (2013) avhandling angående ”flickor och sociala medier” samt olika artiklar kring Instagrams påverkan på ungdomar och Berglez & Olaussons förklaring av medier och identitet som bakgrund till mitt ämne. Frågorna som jag besvarar i min studie är: Hur framställer ungdomar sin online identitet genom Instagram? Vad ger detta för resultat på ungdomarnas identitetsskapande? Min studie visar att Instagram har en påverkan på ungdomarnas livsstil och identitet. Det vill säga hur individer representerar sig själva skapar det normer, mönster, status och regler i samhället som fortskrider och vi blir ständigt omedvetna påverkade av varandra och hur vi ska vara och bete oss. Sociala medier har en påverkan på oss individer och genom Instagram kultur skapar det en omedvetenhet för dessa ungdomar där de alltid ska behaga sin publik med oärligheter.

Full textAbstract:
" Gillion de Trazegnies " est un roman anonyme en prose, composé au milieu du XVe siècle, sous Philippe le Bon. Dans le premier livre, nous proposons une édition critique du roman jusque-là pratiquement inédit, en donnant le texte de ses cinq manuscrits en moyen français. Une introduction détaillée présente le roman à travers l'étude de la date, de l'auteur, des manuscrits, des illustrations, etc. L'auteur cherche à glorifier les Trazegnies, grande famille du Hainaut, en racontant les aventures (fictives) d'un de ses membres bigame et de ses fils jumeaux. Le roman sert la politique de Philippe le Bon (Hainaut-Orient) mais surtout il peut se définir comme un récit " dynastique ". À travers d'autres textes " dynastiques " (Mélusine, La Geste du Chevalier au cygne, La Grande Chronique de Normandie et le cycle de Jean d'Avesnes), nous étudions dans le livre II les caractéristiques d'un récit dynastique médiéval, qui, au lieu de servir de mémoire familiale, a toujours des enjeux politiques" Gillion de Trazegnies " is an anonymous novel in prose written in the middle of the fifteenth century and dedicated to Philippe le Bon. In the first book, we submit a critical edition of the novel, unpublished as yet, including its five manuscripts in middle French. A detailed introduction presents the novel through the study of the date, the author, the manuscripts, the illustrations, etc. The author tries to glorify the Trazegnies, a great family of Hainaut, by telling the (fictitious) adventures of one of its members, a bigamous man with twin sons. The novel is useful to Philippe le Bon propaganda (Hainaut-Orient) but above all defines itself as a " dynastic " account. Through other dynastic stories (" Mélusine ", " La Geste du Chevalier au Cygne ", " La Grande Chronique de Normandie " and the cycle of " Jean d'Avesnes "), we study in the second book the characteristics of a medieval dynastic narrative, that always serves political stakes more than family memories

Full textAbstract:
This study considers a small group of recent video works by artists Melanie Gilligan and Hito Steyerl through the Foucauldian lens of biopolitics. I argue that these works implicitly reveal how biopower viscerally exposes and abstracts the neoliberal subject, constructing it in precarious tension as ostensibly coherent yet infinitely fissionable. Introducing the study by discussing the concept of biopower in Michel Foucault’s work, I also draw on work by Gilles Deleuze, Boris Groys, Brian Massumi, and others to suggest how biopower shapes the subject through ever-expanding forms of surveillance and documentation. Biopower does not merely take advantage of the subject’s legibility, however; instead, I argue, it produces subjectivity through visual and data-driven forms of description that tend to both function and be masked as representation. In the second chapter, I contend that Steyerl’s Strike (2010) and Strike II (2012) and Gilligan’s Popular Unrest (2010) intimate how biopolitical subjecthood is fashioned through photographic, behavioral, physiological, and other technoscientific forms of tracking and modelling. These works propose “strikes” against biopower’s relentlessly visualizing drive. I argue in chapter three that Gilligan’s Popular Unrest and Steyerl’s Lovely Andrea (2007) and Red Alert (2007) make explicit the relationship between contemporary forces of intensity and abstraction (formal, economic, social), revealing them as complementary dimensions of biopower that produce a fractured, divided subject amenable to “orderly” visualization. These works propose the redemptive potential of redeployments of affect. In the fourth chapter, I argue that Gilligan’s Self-Capital and Steyerl’s In Free Fall (both 2009) demonstrate the relationship of global economic crisis to crises of biopolitical subjectivity. Gilligan’s work suggests the character of the archetypical neoliberal subject Foucault describes as “entrepreneur of himself,” tracing its modes of self-production and projecting its imminent collapse. Steyerl’s turns away from the subject, exploring the vitality and agency of the object and questioning object-subject distinctions. In different ways, Gilligan and Steyerl offer proposals for shedding a biopolitical subjectivity that is increasingly untenable. Illuminating the role of visceral exposure in the biopolitics of subjectivation while reconfiguring this very process, their work extends and exceeds other forms of political engagement with the problem of biopolitics.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The work environment of today is synonymous with stress, fatigue and exhaustion. As a result, the
incidence of workplace injury and disease is increasingly commonplace. Repetitive Strain Injury
(RSI) is the most common form of work–related ill–health. If the symptoms are not recognised and
addressed early, serious and more chronic manifestations of the symptoms can emerge,
subsequently affecting the quality and duration of a persons' working life. RSI also has significant
implications for organisations in terms of lost productivity, drops in work quality and costly
compensation claims. Although there is ongoing international research available concerning
workplace injury and disease to inform business and the employee, there is less comprehensive and
regularly updated research within the South African context. Considering employers can be held
accountable for diseases that have arisen out of and in the course of an individual's employment,
this research adds value in ascertaining the magnitude of RSI in South Africa. Bearing in mind
international research has expanded its focus to include the potential influence of ergonomic and
psychosocial factors in the development of RSI, it has become necessary to consider additional
factors that may play a role in the development and maintenance of RSI.
The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the frequency of RSI experienced amongst South
African employees; 2) examine the frequency of RSI across three well–being groups; and 3) identify
whether there are significant differences across the three well–being groups. An availability sample
(N = 15 664) was utilised to determine the frequency of experience of RSI in a sample of South
African employees. Frequencies were used to determine the incidence of RSI symptoms for the
total sample. Participants were then selected into groups based on their experience of vitality, work
devotion and exhaustion (n = 4 411) in order to determine the frequency of RSI experienced for three well–being groups. ANOVA was used to determine if there were significant RSI differences
between these three well–being groups.
The results of this study highlight that RSI is prevalent amongst the South African population. Of
those participants who responded 'sometimes' and 'frequently' (experiencing RSI), 47% indicated
experiencing neck, shoulder and back discomfort, followed by 42% reporting eyestrain, and 24%
muscle stiffness. These results are comparable with international statistics, indicating that a
relatively large percentage of South African employees experience RSI. The results further showed
that the frequency of experience of RSI symptoms does differ across the three well–being groups. It
is evident that RSI is more prevalent in the well–being group that demonstrates vital exhaustion
when compared to those who are work engaged yet exhausted, and those who are truly work
engaged. Secondly, the results clearly revealed statistically significant differences between all of
these groups. Thus, those individuals who are vitally exhausted experience significantly greater RSI
symptoms than those who are truly work engaged or engaged with exhaustion. In addition, those
individuals who are work engaged with exhaustion demonstrate significantly more RSI symptoms
than those who are truly work engaged. Thus, this study suggests the potential role of exhaustion in
the development of RSI.
Recommendations were made for the organisation and for future research.Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Previous issue date: 2010-11-30To elucidate the important contribution of care ethics in improving human relations and social intimates, this work reveals the fragility and lack of ethics on the formation of a just society, equal, peaceful and caring. To this end, we study on the moral development of men and women, warning of the natural differences between the sexes, which change for both the way of seeing life and live it - which does not imply inferiority to some genres. From this study it is clear that the natural care is innate to humans, it provides a tendency to act for the good of all life forms and nature as a whole. But it is evident here a greater sensitivity of women to such care because they possess perception and more emotion than men, which make them more participatory and involved in relationships. This greater openness to care found in women, due in part to the strong and lasting relationship with their mothers. Thus is revealed the power that women have to positively change the direction of human relationships, providing careful with your example, protective and caring, the awakening of a new and comprehensive ethics - opens to the truth, and features especially for affections. Therefore, the care ethics arises from the life experiences of women and aims, through them, to join the men's morality in order to bring out the relevant fact of interdependence between human beings, of human fragility and the need for relationships to the fullness of life
Visando a elucidar a importante contribui??o da ?tica do cuidado no aperfei?oamento das rela??es humanas ?ntimas e sociais, este trabalho revela a fragilidade e insufici?ncia da ?tica atual para a forma??o de uma sociedade justa, igualit?ria, pac?fica e cuidadosa. Para tanto ? feito um estudo sobre o desenvolvimento moral de homens e mulheres, alertando para as naturais diferen?as de comportamento e pensamento existente entre os sexos, as quais modificam para ambos a maneira de ver a vida e de viv?-la - o que n?o implica em inferioridade para algum dos g?neros. Partindo desse estudo, fica claro que o cuidado natural ? inato ao humano, o que lhe propicia a tend?ncia de agir em favor do bem de todas as formas de vida e da natureza como um todo. Mas evidencia-se aqui uma sensibilidade maior das mulheres a esse cuidado por elas possu?rem percep??o e emotividade mais agu?adas que os homens, o que as tornam mais participativas e envolvidas em relacionamentos. Essa maior abertura ao cuidado encontrada na mulher, deve-se em parte ao forte e duradouro relacionamento com suas m?es. Assim, ? revelado o poder que as mulheres t?m em mudar positivamente a dire??o dos relacionamentos humanos, proporcionando com seu exemplo cuidadoso, protetor e sol?cito, o despertar de uma ampla e nova ?tica - com abertura para a verdade, para particularidades e principalmente para os afetos. Portanto, a ?tica do cuidado surge das experi?ncias de vida das mulheres e almeja, por meio delas, juntar-se ? moralidade masculina no intuito de trazer ? tona a relevante realidade da interdepend?ncia entre os seres, da fragilidade humana e a necessidade das rela??es afetivas para a plenitude da vida

The aim of this essay is to investigate the meaning and importance of the female friendship within Ellen Moers tradition and theory regarding the female gothic. In this essay, I argue that the female friendship has played an important role in the portrayal of the Gothic fiction as socially critical of women’s position in the society, mainly by examining the two works Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. The essay is also interested in how the female gothic has developed over time and whether the notion can be applied while analysing more contemporary gothic, and thus, considers the works’ different time periods.

Full textAbstract:
In eighteenth-century England, general anxieties towards the unchecked and excessive British power and authority were caricaturized in images depicting France and its people. Extensive literature has been published on the representations of French individuals and symbols in satirical prints, yet scholars have neglected the role of monuments in satirical imagery. This thesis looks at James Gillray’s Siege de la Colonne de Pompée—Science in the Pillory (1799) and Design for Naval Pillar (1800) and George Cruikshank’s A view of the grand triumphal pillar (1801) to unveil how British printmakers utilized satirical monuments to warn viewers of both Napoléon Bonaparte’s threat to the European continent and the harmful actions of their own British governmental figures. The role of monument culture, victory culture, nationalism and print distribution is also analyzed to highlight the affect of these prints on the British, and larger European, publics.

Full textAbstract:
A crítica de Carol Gilligan ao modelo de desenvolvimento moral de Kohlberg suscita novas considerações quanto à importância dos paradigmas na investigação e a necessidade de se encontrar uma perspetiva ética que ultrapasse o unilateralismo de género. A desconstrução deste modelo através da inclusão do “feminino” contempla a ideia de reciprocidade a partir da natureza contextual das relações, possibilitando uma visão mais global do desenvolvimento humano e alargando os limites da compreensão ética para além da interpretação intelectual do juízo moral. Ao introduzir a temporalidade e a relação entre pessoas como ingredientes da justiça, permite abarcar na definição de maturidade humana outras perspetivas e critérios que possibilitam a integração das dimensões dos direitos e da responsabilidade, articulando cuidado e justiça na reflexão ética. A sua relevância é, assim, não apenas ética, mas também axiológica, já que refletir sobre uma ética do cuidado é pensar essa “voz diferente” e é também um debate sobre os valores e sobre como deve ser uma ética para todos – uma ética inclusiva que permita a partilha do espaço público e do espaço privado, por mulheres e por homens, numa sociedade onde seja possível viver melhor; ABSTRACT: Carol Gilligan’s criticism to Kohlberg’s development model brings about new concerns related to the relevance of paradigms used in research and the need to define an ethical perspective in order to overcome unilateralism of gender. Deconstructing this approach by including the “feminine” view introduces the idea of reciprocity within the context of human relations. It, thus, provides a more comprehensive approach on human development and expands the boundaries of ethical understanding beyond the intellectual interpretation of moral judgment. Considering temporality and people’s relationships as part of the concept of justice, it allows other views and standards when defining human maturity because it opens up to the domains of rights and responsibility, articulating care and justice in the ethical thought. Its relevance is both ethical and axiological because reflecting upon the ethics of care is to consider that “different voice” and to set an argument about values and an ethics for all, an inclusive one that allows public and private places to be shared by men and women, within a society where we can hope for a better life.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to investigate why a group of young adults, living in the village of Järvsö in Hälsingland, choose to live their lives according to the ideals attributed to the peasantry in the early 19th century. The essay examines what gives them inspiration for their way of living and the driving forces behind their choices. The theoretical starting points of the study are production of cultural heritage, nostalgia and performance studies. The study is based on interviews with young adults, and the older generation that inspires them, living in Järvsö, as well as participant observations and media coverage. The examination of how the cultural heritage has been produced in 2018 gives an insight into the everyday life of those who choose to live by these ideals today in Järvsö and how it has shaped and affected how Järvsö is presented to the outside world. The study concludes that the ideals that the young adults strive for are to live as environmentally friendly as possible. The inspiration comes from stories about people who lived during the 19th century and the aesthetics attributed to the folk culture. They use folk culture that includes stories, folk music, folk dance, folk costumes, crafts and games and reshape these expressions and adapt them to a contemporary life in the 21st century. Because the decorated farmhouses of Hälsingland have been declared world heritage, there is also an authenticity guarantee which gives the interviewees legitimacy for their life choices and confirmation of the importance of passing these folk traditions on to future generations.

Full textAbstract:
Reading comprehension among boys is something that has deteriorated over the years. But is it so that boys do not read or do they just read things that does not count? Today there is an expanded textual concept. This means that even movies, comics, games, music and images counts as text, not just printed words on paper. I therefore want to investigate how boys in upper secondary school describes the text they encounter during their free time as well as the texts they encounter in school during the subject of Swedish. I want to see how their attitude is to these two textworlds. Six interviews with six diffrent boys from a upper secondary school north of Stockholm has been made. They are all in the alignment electricity program and are now in the second grade. They have all been reading the course “Svenska 1, 100p”. At first, the respondents said they did not read or meet text during their free time. They pointed out that they did not read books. When the respondents then learned that text could be more than only books, their answers changed and a textworld was created. The respondents describe the textworld in their free time as primarily screen-based. This is where they create a community with their friends and the texts has also the function to pass time. In the subject “Svenska 1” the respondents describe the textworld as non-screen based. They mean that they mainly read books. On the other hand, they see this as a positive thing as they are confident that the teacher chooses the "right" books and that they will learn something from it. This result shows that boys are reading, but usually not books. In the texts they encounter, one finds mostly male main characters. They are often supernaturally strong and smart and are classified as superheroes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to examine the respective ways in which Simone Weil and Gillian Rose assessth e human condition as the conflict and tension of human life. The use of the notion of `contradiction' represents conflict. Employed by both women, `contradiction' will be explored through their assessmentso f the human condition. With their respective uses of this notion, Weil's and Rose's assessmentsd evelop into a wider field of application using very specific, conceptual precepts: the `void' by Weil and the `broken middle' by Rose. The essential constructive claim is that each of these conceptualities can properly be viewed as attempts to explore what shall be referred to as the genesis of the search for salvation; the attempt, that is, to elucidate through both women the possibility of negotiating in and with `contradiction' towards a sense of inner-transformation. This claim is supported by their illumination of what it means to live with, in and through contradiction in the world in relation with God. Given that Weil and Rose identified with Gnosticism, neo-gnostic soteriology, which draws the human condition into a fulfilled sense of self-realisation about the divine, will be used to test these claims made by both women. Despite the fact that they have each attracted significant academic interest over the years, this is the first work to bring these two thinkers into relation with each other. This thesis is divided into four distinct parts. Part I identifies the wider philosophical, existential and theological issues at play. Part II explores Weil's relation to and use of the concept of the `void' (that acts as an intermediary between the human and divine) both impersonally and personally in order to uncover her perception of the human situation in relation to God. In turn, Part III explores Rose's personal and intellectual vocation. More importantly, Rose's `broken middle' will be explored, which broadly speaking, addressesth e difficulty and tension (contradiction) of the middle between the universal and the particular. Part IV places the respective accounts of the human condition and contradiction in Weil's `void' and Rose's `broken middle' in explicit conversation with each other in order to establish and elucidate what they each separately and together suggest about the genesis of the search for salvation.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur personer som definierar sig som ickeheterosexuella och som tidigare behandlats för ätstörning beskriver en eventuell heteronorm samt andra normer inom den behandling de genomgått. Uppsatsen syftar vidare till att undersöka hur tidigare patienter med en normbrytande sexuell identitet beskriver vårdpersonals bemötande kopplat till sexuell läggning. Materialinsamlingen genomfördes med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med personer som definierar sig som icke-heterosexuella och som har behandlats för ätstörning. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av Grounded theory. Studien belyser situationer där heteronormen har synliggjorts samt tillfällen där andra normativa förväntningar varit märkbara under ätstörningsbehandling. I studien behandlas även behovet hos intervjupersonerna att i efterhand förstå sin egen situation och placera in sig själv i ett större sammanhang utifrån normer och samhälleliga förväntningar. Resultatet visar att heteronormativa antaganden kan identifieras och påverkar behandlingssituationen. Hur vårdpersonal förhåller sig till normer och i synnerhet heteronormen kan påverka hur patienten upplever behandlingssituationen och patientens val av att vara öppen kring sin sexualitet. Resultatet visar även en tendens att sätta den sexuella läggningen i relation till ätstörningen i reflektioner kring den egna sjukdomshistorien.

The focus of this thesis is to examine posts on library’s Facebook pages and to investigate possible connections between posts and user response. The study examines posts published from thirty different libraries Facebook pages over a two week period to examine if any correlation between different subjects or types of posts affects the degree and type of response from the users.The findings show that photos stand for the majority of the published post concerning its type and that activities at the library was the most common subject of posts. After using eta as measure of association a tenuous connection between degree of response and the posts subject and between the degree of response and the type of post was found. The standard deviation, however, was high in the majority of the variables used. The data also showed that posts containing videos had a very high mean of user response as did the subject culture news, although either of them constituted a sufficiently large part of the examined material in order to prove a connection. Previous research also supports the connection between posting of multimedia like videos and the engagement from the users.Program: Bibliotekarie

Denna studie handlar om på vilka sätt som sociala medier kan ge uttryck för bekräftelsebehov hos användare. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer på fem användare av sociala medier samt användning av teorier inom självrepresentation, behaviorism och Uses and Gratification, blev det möjligt att finna flera typer av bekräftelsebehov. Det gick dels att urskilja tre strategier inom självrepresentation som användes för att uppnå bekräftelsebehov; en strategi till direkt uppmärksamhet, en strategi till specifik målgrupp och en strategi för generellt bekräftelsebehov. Vidare gavs också information på hur användare uppfattar och använder sig av sociala mediers mediala mekanismer, till att nå bekräftelsebehov. Slutligen blev det också möjligt att uppfatta användares känslor efter detta behov.This study is about social media and in what ways it can give expression for a need ofconfirmation, by the individuals who are using it. By using qualitative interviews on five users of social media, combined with exploiting theories in self-representation, behaviourism and Uses and Gratifications, it was possible to discover several kinds of need for confirmation. Thus, three strategies in self-representation was being used: a strategy mainly for attention, a strategy to reach a specific target group, and a strategy for general need of confirmation. Furthermore, information on how the users are aware of the mechanisms from social media is being showed and also how they make the most out of it. Eventually, after their need for confirmation had been examined, the users’ feelings were presented.

Full textAbstract:
Sociala medier som externa kommunikationsverktyg har sedan länge stått på organisationers agenda. Idag står många organisationer i startgroparna för att introducera sociala medier även i den interna kommunikationen. Sociala intranät, traditionella intranät som utrustats med sociala funktioner som exempelvis chatt, blogg och personliga profiler, återfinns i allt större utsträckning inom organisationer. I nuläget finns emellertid mycket lite forskning kring detta fenomen. Syftet med vår studie är att öka förståelsen för vilka positiva och negativa effekter sociala intranät skapar för medarbetare i deras dagliga arbete. 13 medarbetare på IT- tjänstföretaget Tieto intervjuades för denna studie som visar att medarbetare upplever både positiva och negativa konsekvenser med sociala funktioner. Studien finner klara stöd för att sociala teknologier främjar sociala relationer, samarbete och kommunikation. Studien indikerar att en bristande kollektiv användning och uppkomsten av ett informationsöverflöde är de främsta problemen med sociala teknologier i den interna kommunikationen. Dessa två faktorer motverkar införlivandet av potentiella fördelar, som exempelvis effektiviserad informations- och kunskapsdelning, och skapar negativa effekter för beslutsfattandet då beslut fattas på sämre underlag och då ett obalanserat inflytande mellan aktiva och passiva användare uppstår.

Full textAbstract:
Moral och moralutveckling är ett komplext område som kan vara viktigt att belysa i socialt arbete, då det visat sig att ungdomar med ett normbrytande beteende ofta har en lägre moralnivå än andra ungdomar. Det kan därför hävdas att det finns ett behov av moralfrämjande insatser inom ramen för behandling. Studiens syfte är att undersöka moralutveckling och ställa detta mot behandlingsprogrammet Aggression Replacement Training för att se hur de moralbildande komponenterna är tänkta att främja normbrytande ungdomars moralutveckling. Ett vidare syfte är att undersöka hur moralteorier och ART kan förstås ur ett genusperspektiv. I Studien används scoping samt en riktad innehållsanalys för att tematisera manual, forskning och litteratur. Resultatet visar att ART:s syfte med moralträning är att ungdomar ska ledas framåt i sin moralutveckling och nå en medvetenhet kring ömsesidigt beroende mellan individ och samhälle. Behandlingsutfallet påverkas av en kombination av olika faktorer, inom och utanför behandlingsprogrammets ramar. Det är oklart huruvida det finns ett behov av att anpassa behandling utefter kön, dock kan det hävdas att det utifrån ett genusperspektiv krävs individanpassning. Diskussionen belyser att det kan finnas ett behov av att göra en distinktion mellan moraliskt resonerande och moraliskt handlande, samt så diskuteras genusperspektivets betydelse i relation till könsroller och socialisering.Morality and moral development are complex topics that may be important to social work, as it has been found that adolescents with antisocial behavior often has a lower moral level than other juveniles. It can therefore be argued that there is a need for moral interventions when different interventions are organized. The purpose of this study is to explore moral development in relation to the treatment program Aggression Replacement Training, how the components in moral skill training are meant to promote moral development in juvenile delinquents. A further aim is to examine how moral theories and ART can be understood from a gender perspective. Methods used in this study are scoping and directed content analysis. The results show that ART:s aim with moral training is to lead juveniles forward in their moral development. A combination of factors, both within and outside the treatment program affects the treatment outcome. Whether there is a need to adjust treatment to sex is unclear, thus it can be argued that there from a gender perspective may exist a need for more personalized treatment. The discussion illuminates a need to make a distinction between moral reasoning and moral action in treatment. Furthermore the discussion considers gender perspective in relation to gender role and socialization.

William Gillies Whittaker (1876-1944) was one of Britain's most influential musicians during the first half of the twentieth century. Though he is now sadly neglected, during his highly productive life his name was ubiquitous in almost every branch of indigenous music-making. This study seeks to explore in depth a musical life and achievement which has until now remained cursory in detail and lacking in critical appraisal. Since little is known of Whittaker's life, the first two chapters attempt to redress this balance by charting the direction in which Whittaker, an autodidact, forged his career. A man strongly linked with the North East of England (his unpublished Autobiography of a Provincial Musician accentuates this association), he did much to elevate music in Newcastle and the surrounding regions whether through folk-song arranging, school teaching, choir training, concert promotion, playing the organ, composing and as an academic lecturer. Before World War One, a period which might be described as his apprenticeship, he remained a provincial figure, but with the formation of the Newcastle Bach Choir in 1915, he was able to project his seminal interests in the music of J. S. Bach and the works of his contemporary compatriots. A close friendship with Hoist and other modern British composers located the Bach Choir at the cutting edge of new music and performances of Bach's choral works (which led to the posthumous publication of his pioneering The Cantatas of Johann Sebastian: Sacred and Secular in 1959) established his reputation on a national scale. Finding Newcastle too restrictive he eventually secured a newly-created appointment as Principal of the Scottish National Academy of Music and Professor of Music at Glasgow University, an appointment which, though productive, proved disappointing and embittering. As a national figure, galvanised by his work for the Bach Choir (see Chapter Three), Whittaker was engaged as the General Editor for Oxford University Press's newly-founded Educational Music Department through which his name became known in schools and choirs throughout the country and gave rise to germane publications such as The Oxford Orchestral Series, Oxford Songs from the Old Masters and The Clarendon Songbooks (See Chapters Four and Five). This and his position as a member of three Musical Advisory Committees for the newly inaugurated BBC allowed him to 'network' and befriend a large number of fellow musicians throughout the country, and his chauvinism on behalf of British music between the wars was well known for its pugnacity and single-mindedness, as can be measured by his leadership of the ISM in 1934 and the international exposure of his choral masterpiece Psalm 139 in Frankfurt. One further important facet of Whittaker's career was composition, for which he had no formal training. Encouragement from Hoist, who was not only a major stylistic influence but also believed in his abilities, gave rise to creative work, much of it shaped by practical circumstance. For schools there were simple unison and part-songs; for larger choruses there were fertile folksong arrangements and more extended canvases such as The Lyke-Wake Dirge, The Coelestial Sphere and Psalm 139; he was also prolific in the province of solo songs (where he was arguably most successful) and during his period at Glasgow he produced a substantial amount of Gebrauchsmusik; and he was a Carnegie winner for his piano quintet Among the Northumbrian Hills. Chapter Six seeks to explore the range of Whittaker's mainly unpublished output which acted as a process of catharsis during the many periods he spent abroad in Australia, America and mainland Europe

Full textAbstract:
Vi ville med vårt arbete undersöka om det var möjligt att förverkliga en virtuell funktion från det sociala nätverket Facebook, och se om funktionens ursprungliga syfte haft samma resultat i den fysiska verkligheten så som i den virtuella världen. Vi ville alltså ta en befintlig Facebook-funktion och skapa en fysisk gestaltning av denna.Vi valde att förverkliga Facebook’s Gilla-knapp eftersom vi ansåg att denna lilla funktion har en stor betydelse på och för det sociala nätverket, men även också eftersom den används alltmer i verkliga sammanhang som exempelvis i marknadsföringssyfte. Utifrån detta skapade vi två fysiska prototyper, en lo-fi mockupversion och en hi-fi prototyp.Resultaten visade att det var möjligt att skapa en fysisk gestaltning av en virtuell Facebook-funktion och att den ursprungliga innebörden var densamma i den fysiska verkligheten. Däremot uppnådde dem inte samma resultat i den fysiska verkligheten eftersom den inte påverkade människors sociala beteende på samma sätt som på det sociala nätverket.In our thesis we wanted to examine whether it was possible to realize a virtual function from the social network Facebook, and see if the initial purpose of the function would have the same result in the physical reality like as in the virtual world. Thus, we wanted to take anexisting Facebook feature and create a physical interpretation of it. We chose to create the Like button because we felt that the small function has a significant impact on and to the social network, but also because it’s increasingly being used in real situations such as for marketing purposes. Based on this, we created two physical prototypes, a lo-fi mockup version and a hi-fi prototype.The results showed that it was possible to create a physical form of a virtual Facebook function and the initial purpose was the same even in the physical world. However, the prototypes did not achieve the same results in the physical reality because it didn’t affect people's social behavior in the same way as in the social network.
