On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of urban Syrian refugees in re-establishing livelihoods in Istanbul after displacement. The first part of the thesis identifies social exclusion mechanisms, including lack of access to a stable legal status, education and permission to work legally, as well as extensive discrimination and harassment as constituting

Thesis purpose: This thesis studies the subject of exclusivity by examining the narratives of consumers in the subculture of equestrian sports in Sweden. Through socio-cultural analysis of the value of cultural capital, we seek to build an understanding of how myths and stories create an image of exclusivity and influence taste and consumption in the equestrian field. Methodology: In-depth intervi

This thesis concerns oaths, curses, and prayers in Roman comedy, more precisely the comedies by the playwriter Terence (185/84 - 159 BC). So-called informal/interjectional oaths and prayers constitute the main focus of this investigation, however, asseverations, formal oaths, formal prayers, and curses are included as well. In this study, carried out by utilizing the methodological frameworks herm

Elections to the European Parliament have since they were introduced in 1979 been, as scholars define it, a “second-order” election. They are typically as such characterized through the losses for national government parties, surge of smaller parties, low interest from the public in general and most of all low levels of voter participation. Expectations were therefore for once higher that the Euro

The period from 1910 to 1930 was a time when a number of theoretical systems saw the light of the day in Central Europe: psychoanalysis, neopositivism, phenomenology, the Warsaw School of logic, Gestalt-psychology and the structuralism of the Prague School of Linguistics. The Prague School arose in the liberal-minded Prague of the 1920s and came to have an enormous influence on multiple fields wit

This dissertation investigates the labour migration from Southern Europe to Sweden, and the changes in Swedish immigration policy between 1960 and 1972. The overall ambition is to bring both the state and employers into the analysis of immigration policy and the recruitment of foreign labour - not separately but together in one study. The dissertation is divided into two main parts. The first part

Popular Abstract in Swedish I över 200 år har en rad historiker, språkmän, folklorister och arkeologer försökt att återskapa en svunnen kultur. Med hjälp av antika texter, medeltida uppteckningar, filologiska observationer och arkeologiska lämningar har de beskrivit en värld, en religion och ett folk äldre än sumererna, med vilka all historia annars sägs ha börjat. De som upprätthöll denna svunna By using ancient texts, medieval documents, philological observations, and archaeological artifacts, scholars have reconstructed a prehistorical world and religion. The people who upheld this culture have been named, inter alia, "Indo-Europeans", "Aryans", "Japhetites" and "Wiros". Yet, these people have not left any texts, no artifacts can with certainty be ascribed to them, nor do we know any in

The Phoenicians were the dominant traders in the Mediterranean Sea two thousand to three thousand years ago and expanded from their homeland in the Levant to establish colonies and trading posts throughout the Mediterranean, but then they disappeared from history. We wished to identify their male genetic traces in modern populations. Therefore, we chose Phoenician-influenced sites on the basis of

Few other social technologies and institutions are more consequential to human societies than money. Yet money remains a deeply perplexing phenomenon. On the one hand, it is a pan-human system of valuation, but on the other, it is conventional and variable in its uses. While it is controversial if money instantiates a fully-fledged sign system, it is rife with semiotic capacities. To present an il

This essay has translation of the Bible in view and more specifically inclusive language. I study a new test translation of Galatians, commissioned by the Swedish Bible Society this year. This translation has applied inclusive language and my problem for this essay is: is the Swedish Bible Society ́s test translation of the Galatians a plausible application of inclusive language? To be able to ans

This thesis examines the Roman birth certificates, their content and physical appearance. Twenty certificates still exist: 17 diptychs (AD 60-164) and 3 papyri documents (AD 194-240). Birth certificates were widely used in the Roman empire, but the remaining ones are from three regions in Egypt: Alexandria, Fayyum and the Roman border to Nubia. They were all discovered in the beginning of the 20th

This paper is about the hoplite army and the men in it who fought for their family and polis. I wanted to write this paper because I think that we get too little information about the ordinary men who fight in wars. We are always told about the great generals and the outcomes of the battles but never about those who have to leave their normal life to maybe get killed. My purpose is to give a broad
