This thesis discusses Ireland’s rapid economic growth in the 1990s, in order to place in in the context of contemporary globalization debate. A great deal of the growth has been cited to stem from the state’s encouragement of globalization, in terms of increasing exposure to global markets. I investigate the interactions between the state and market, in order to determine of the economic growth wa
The aim of this master thesis is to examine the energy discourse of the EU. For this purpose history of concepts and discourse analysis is used. I show that the EU energy discourse is undergoing a change in the formulation of the Lisbon Treaty through the use of the concept of solidarity. This can be seen as the giving of a social dimension to the discourse and hence, a social dimension to the fut
In June 2009 A.D. the Government Offices of Sweden presented an investigation about conscription as the recruitment system to Swedish Armed Forces. Behind the investigation stood a parliamentary committe with the specific mission to investigate how the recruitment should be organised in the future. The committee suggest to abolish conscription and adopt voluntary recruitment. Two members of the co
Abstract Issue: Theories of how to use communication tools and what underlying strategies should be are many, but why do we not know how a successful organization values these tools and how they make these strategies into action? Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to expose how a large, decentralized and successful organization is using internal communications, and how they communicate organiza
This essay presents an analysis of the Russian director Alexandr Mindadze’s feature film Innocent Saturday, released precisely 25 years after the Chernobyl’ accident in Ukraine. In a comparative study between the Russian-speaking and non-Russian-speaking reception of the film, I will show that the philosophical dimension, depicting Chernobyl’ not as a “great” historical, technological event, but i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Partikelfysiken är studien av naturens minsta beståndsdelar --- De så kallade \emph{elementarpartiklarna}. All materia i universum består av elementarpartiklar. Den teori som beskriver vilka partiklar som finns och hur de uppför sig heter \emph{Standardmodellen}. Teorin har historiskt sett varit mycket framgångsrik. Den har gång på gång förutspått existensen av nya part
How do you approach an elusive phenomena like “travel fever”, the kind of mixed feelings travellers experience, hovering between anxiety and exhilaration? In an ongoing study of such links between motion and emotion I have worked with different arenas, above all the production of shared or contested moods and atmospheres in transit spaces. Here, I would like to try another approach: the suitcase.
Abstract in Uncoded languages U ranijim viktimološkim istraživanjima naglašene su jednostrane slike kategorije „žrtva“ i „zločinac“. Istraživači su isticali važnost priča i usmjerili fokus analize na priče o viktimizaciji, ali istraživači nisu analizirali poslijeratne intervjue kao arenu gdje se odigrava borba za status žrtve. Ovim člankom pokušava se popuniti ta praznina analiziranjem priča 27 osPrevious research on victimhood often has presented a one-sided picture of the “victim” and “perpetrator”. Researchers have emphasized the importance of narratives and they have focused on narratives about victimhood, but a researcher has not analyzed post-war interviews as a competition for victimhood. This article tries to fill this gap using stories told by survivors of the Bosnian war during t
Popular AbstractJag är konstnär! beskriver konstnärskapet i en mindre konstvärld ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Den lilla konstvärlden är specifik. Den utmärks av en hög grad av överblickbarhet, igenkännande och osäkerhet. Igenkännandet kan till en del minska den osäkerhet man känner inför vad som är konst och vad som inte är det, och vem som bör tillskrivas en konstnärsroll och vem som bör utdefI am an artist! describes the process of recognition that surrounds being an artist in a local art world; how boundaries are drawn up not only by the artists themselves, but also others in the art world. It also describes the advantages and restrictions of a local art world as far as the artist´s possibilities to be seen, mentioned, judged and distributed, and also the specific general view which
The politics of landscape production involve questions about the power to define what landscape means, who or what belongs to landscape and who or what belongs in landscape. Asserting the right to participate in landscape production and thus to help steer landscape along desirable development pathways remains a core component of landscape politics and grows in importance as many societies experienc
The currency devaluations of the 1930s facilitated a faster recovery from the Great Depression in the countries depreciating, but their unilateral manner provoked retaliatory and discriminatory commercial policies abroad. This article explores the importance of the retaliatory motive in the imposition of trade barriers by gold bloc countries during the 1930s and its effects on trade. Relying on ne
Forty-two years ago, Stephen Hawking made predictions that radiation does escape from black holes. Known as “Hawking radiation” this phenomenon is too weak to observe with current techniques, and remained the “Holy Grail” for astrophysics. It has remained as such until recently when researchers led by Professor Steinhauer at the Israel Institute of Technology observed radiation emanating from an a
Media combinations of different basic media types are always, literally, intermedial combinations that involve intermedial relations between different forms of communication. This chapter looks at how words and images on pages convey a graphic narrative in comics. In the specific case of comics, scholars have attempted to categorize different types of interaction between words and images, which cr
