Abstract:

The Romani people have, since their arrival in Europe during the turn of the last millennia, been the subject of stigmatization and hatred. Despite efforts to end discrimination against the Romani population, they remain one of the most stigmatized groups throughout Europe. Media has often been blamed for presenting and reproducing stereotypes concerning the Romani people consequently further cementing preconceived notions about the group. Numerous researchers have studied how these stereotypes are manifested as well as the underlying reasons behind their existence in both Swedish and internat

Abstract:

Magister Theologiae - MTh<br>The Bible, a treasure of all Christian churches, contains the irreplaceable primary documents of the Christian faith. The Bible is also a collection of ancient documents, written in strange and even exotic languages of other ages and cultures. Much in the Bible is foreign to urbanized Western civilization and requires exploration. The Bible is also the major source of information about the history of Israel in pre-Christian times and the origins of the Christian faith and the Christian Church. Under all these aspects the Bible has been the source of information and

Abstract:

This thesis critiques aspects of the work of Mary Douglas and Victor Turner. It develops previous criticisms and pursues them in greater depth, questioning the degree to which these respective models are universal. It is a mainly anthropological study of the relationship between a university and the largest evangelical group operative at that university. It draws upon participant observation fieldwork with Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, Aberdeen University Christian Union and Navigators Studenten Leiden. This thesis examines the degree of liminality at each university and compares th

Abstract:

Personal archives are a largely neglected subject in archival theory. Among the consequences of this is the absenceof any general established or formalized practices when it comes to arrangement and description. Thisstudy opposes the notion that an archival institution without formal systems of arrangement and description doesnot order and describe archives in accordance with a general conceptual framework of a correct order. Supportingitself on the anthropological theory of Mary Douglas on dirt and cleanliness, it studies the implicit notions oforder that can be found in the archival descript

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Richard R. Gaillardetz<br>This dissertation analyzes the various images of the body in the metaphor of the church as a body, or the body of Christ, in modern Catholic ecclesiology in order to reimagine the corporeal metaphor for postconciliar ecclesiology. The metaphor of the church as a body has a vertical dimension expressing the relationship between Christ and the church and a horizontal dimension expressing the relationships among Christians. In its vertical dimension, “body” has been understood as ‘self’ and/or as ‘spouse.’ In its horizontal dimension, the body has been un

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera fyra vampyrfilmer med Mary Douglas teori för att se hur föreställningar om renhet, orenhet och anomalier framställs samt ifall dessa föreställningar har förändrats i de fyra utvalda filmerna mellan 1979-2016. Med kritisk diskursanalys som metod har filmerna Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), The Lost Boys (1987), Twilight (2008) samt Daylight's end (2016) analyserats genom en tematisering av vampyrers egenskaper där en jämförelse dem emellan gjorts. Uppsatsens resultat visar att vampyrer som befinner sig i ett tillstånd mellan liv och död anses vara

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to contribute to the research about the role of rituals in the construction of social identity of women in Newar society. By studying the Kumari tradition, I explore how religious traditions play a role in maintaining social values and gender roles. Following this, I analyze how this role contributes to the continuation of the practice in the face of calls for its abolition in recent years. Of central importance is the controversy surrounding the Kumari tradition fueled by criticism from the UN and western media alleging that the religious practice of Kumari worship is
