Ethnography of Archaeology is a new but fast growing field of interest and approach, investigating the practice and materiality of professional archaeology. Often the focus is on archaeological fieldwork, as the present volume illustrates. This contribution addresses the question of what kind of experience project members have on an archaeological excavation project. Besides the way a project can
The object of this paper is to develop a discussion of territoriality in the built environment as a way of dealing with issues of accessibility and the public nature of urban space. A discussion of territoriality makes it possible to deal with issues of spatial control and access in detail, as well as to maintain some of the complexity in the discussion by refraining from solely analysing these is
This paper discusses processes of emotionalisation and commodification at home and work, a theme that has been a focus of Arlie Hochschild’s research in the USA over the last four decades. What happens when you look at similar processes within another national frame? The American experience is contrasted to that of two periods of rapid cultural and economic change in Swedish society during the ear
Seymour Mayne’s literary output is imbued with Canadian-fashioned multiculturalism. Additionally, an indefatigable search for his Jewish roots and Yiddish texts as preservers of ethnic memory involved his fictions and word-sonnets in a restorative approach. In spite of his academic profession, Mayne has a keen eye for landscape, nature and ecological implications. His subtlety resides in the mello
A growing literature (i.e. Jaffee, Lynch, Richardson, and Van Nieuwerburgh 2009, Acharya and Schnabl 2009) argues that securitization improves financial stability if the securitized assets are held by capital market participants, rather than financial intermediaries. I construct a quantitative macroeconomic model with a novel specification for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to evaluate this clai
The present article is a functional analysis of intonation in Russian declarative utterances. Pragmatically relevant tonal patterns and their functions are identified and described. Utterances are analysed in terms of theme and rheme. Theme is signalled by a tonal rise and rheme by a falling tonal gesture. Beside thematic and rhematic tonal gestures, other rising accents in the utterance are ident

Prior research have highlighted various determinants that have contributed towards increasing levels of household debt. Using data on financial development and household debt, collected from multiple databases, the study aims to isolate the effect of financial development index on household ind
Den här uppsatsen ämnar belysa relevansen av feministisk kritik mot rättsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning och exempletsteriliseringspolitik och steriliseringslagstiftningar vill jag visa hur lagstiftningar reflekterar och återskapar normer tillhörande det samhällssystem inom vilken kontext de är stadgade i. Vidare vill jag visa att det är dessa normer och rådande system som lagstift
Some consider increasing income inequality within countries as one of the biggest threat to the world economy in the year of 2015. Increasing within country inequality creates both political as well as economic insecurity. It erodes economic initiatives as well as democracies and people are left in exclusion, which undercut the ideal of human equality. In the light of the above, this thesis invest
Sammandrag Syftet med denna uppsats är att fastställa positiva och negativa fursteideal i Karlskrönikan, ett propagandaverk som utformats på beställning av Karl Knutsson i mitten av 1400-talet. Genom att använda mig av den hermeneutiska cirkeln som metodologiskt angreppssätt har jag närmat mig materialet med ett öppet förhållningssätt och låtit Karlskrönikan själv styra mig till rätt frågeställninAbstract The purpose of this essay is to achieve deeper knowledge of the positive and negative ideals which apply to the sovereigns that occur in Karlskrönikan, a production of propaganda ordered by the Swedish king Karl Knutsson in the 15: th century. Using the hermeneutic circle as a methodological device has enabled me to to approach the material as openly as possible to let the Karlskrönikan i
This essay presents a picture of swedish reggae listeners and how their love of music give meaning to their lives and unite them in a sub-culture. Based on interviews with six young men about their involvement in reggae, it also investigates the relationship between music and identity, or more clearly; how identity is expressed through music. Furthermore, I discuss the notion of taste according to
In this study I analyse Polish foreign policy since it became a member of the European Union. This period, 2004-2007, has been characterized by some controversial decisions by the Polish government, creating an image of Poland among the other European member states as an ?awkward partner?. Taking Thomas Pedersen's conception of cooperative hegemony as a point of departure, I aim to deliver a c
This thesis deals with urban planning in connection with social and spatial integration. It´s a study of a new planning project in Malmö in southern Sweden. It´s an interesting case because this new, fashionable area will be located next to areas facing socio-economical challanges and stagnation. By using two theoretical models I analyse how the visions for planning a city are formulated and appl
