1. Vantar av läder från det svenska örlogsskeppet Vasa 1628 : Arbete och materiell kultur i en maritim kontext
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Konstvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : The collections of the Vasa Museum in Stockholm Sweden not only include the world’s only complete 17th century warship, the famous Vasa who sank on her maiden voyage outside Stockholm in the summer of 1628, but also a unique and extensive collection of dress artifacts, fragments from clothes in textile and leather recovered during the excavation of the ship. This study aims to present historical narratives about the labour, knowledge of craft and everyday life of the ship’s crew by analysing leather mittens and other types of artifacts related to the work on board as material culture, aided by early modern Dutch depictions in art showing work being done on large ships contemporary with Vasa.

5. The Animal in the Mirror : Zoomorphism and Anthropomorphism in Life of Pi
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för språkstudierSammanfattning : This essay explores the application of zoomorphism and anthropomorphism in Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi.
