Denna uppsats undersöker politiskt medvetna individers mottagande och tolkningar av humor i form av humoristiska medietexter. Mer specifikt studerar och analyserar uppsatsen hur personer med feministiska åsikter tolkar komediserien Family Guy, som innehåller skämt som personerna själva anser är sexistiska. Uppsatsens ansats är delvis fenomenologisk, i det att stor vikt har lagts vid att förstå

Frågan om människans plats i och förhållande till naturen diskuteras sedan länge i den offentliga debatten. Människans inverkan på jordens resurser genom produktion och konsumtion av olika tjänster och produkter debatteras ofta livligt. Samtidigt debatteras behovet av fortsatt exploatering. Även om många av dessa frågor rör sig på organisatorisk och statlig nivå har de knappast undgått samhällets

Aim of this study is to explore the term normalization as a social process that shifts the level of tolerance in societies through examination of the association between cannabis usage as daily life leisure activity and the growing tolerance of this substance use. Contemporary studies suggest that consumption and usage of cannabis should be examined as any other social processes, which are unavoid

Dams are pervasive features of the river systems in the United States. More than 80,000 large dams, and as many as 2.5 million small dams, are spread throughout every major watershed in the country. While this vast number of dams has made a considerable contribution to development, recognition of the environmental impacts has significantly increased. Furthermore, over 25% of the nation's dams

Källtextanalysen följs av ett avsnitt om överväganden inför översättningen och ett om vilka översättnings

This thesis is based on a qualitative study of paratexts, or paratextual elements, in Muḥammad Khalīfah al-Tūnisīys translation of the Antisemitic forgery Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion (in translation: al-Khaṭar al-Yahūdīy: Brūtūkūlāt Ḥukamā’ Ṣahyūn ), from 1951. Gérard Genette, and his book Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation constitutes the theoretical framework of the study, whi

I och med Hu Jintaos och Wen Jiabaos tillträde till makten har den kinesiska regeringens fokus kommit att flyttas från ren ekonomisk utveckling till att i högre grad än tidigare fokusera på att minska klyftorna mellan stad och landsbygd. Denna uppsats undersöker några av de problem som centralregeringen ser på landsbygden idag, samt några av de lösningar som presenterats. I undersökningen av situaSince Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao took office the focus of the Chinese government has been less on pure economic development than before and more on developing the countryside. This paper investigates some of the problems the central government sees in the countryside as well as some of their solutions to those problems. The book The Grain People: Will China’s Villages Disappear? (Liangmin－Zhongguo n

“Near-synonymy is the study of semantic relations between lexemes or constructions that possess a similar usage” (Glynn 2010: 2; Lyons 1995:60; Divjak 2006:21). In this study two near-synonyms awesome and wicked are to be looked more closely at. Near-synonyms have similar meanings but they do not mean exactly the same. The aim of the study is to try to locate whether such small differences in mean

Adams coined the term ‗American Dream‘ in the 1930s and in the 1960‘s, Martin Luther King gave his famous ‗I have a dream‘ speech. It i

Polysemy, the study of multiple meanings of a lexeme, is part of the field of Lexical Semantics and has been preoccupying linguists for a very long time. Among the first methods of investigation were categorization (Lakoff 1987), and the study of dictionaries in hopes of finding semantic variation in polysemous lexemes (Fillmore and Atkins 1992). In present time however, due to new technology, mor

Uppsatsen undersöker om den upplevda nivån av psykologisk egenmakt på arbetet kan påverka anställdas inställning till en organisations-förändring som har förlitat sig på toppstyrd kommunikation. Studien utförs mot en bakgrund av flera olika faktorer från tidigare forskning kring förändring. Resultaten gav inget belägg för en koppling mellan psykologisk egenmakt och engagemang i förändringen. Dock This thesis explores if the perceived level of psychological job empowerment for employees exposed to top-down communication during an organizational change, impact on the perceived level of behavioral support for the change. This is done against the backdrop of several constructs from previous research on organizational change. The results gave no indication of an association between the level o
