2. Kaosets inträngande: Nihilismens metamorfoser i Nikanor Teratologens Att hata allt mänskligt liv (2009)
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för litteratur, idéhistoria och religionSammanfattning : This paper examines how various aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche’s notorious concept of nihilism can be identified in Nikanor Teratologen’s novel Att hata allt mänskligt liv (2009). Based on the theories formulated in French philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s seminal monograph Nietzsche and the Philosophy (1962), the study incorporates analyses of the novel’s relationship between the British empire and its colonial subject, India; its protagonist, Alexander Cunningham, and his affinities to Nietzsche’s predecessor, and in many regards coming-to-be antipode, Arthur Schopenhauer; its monstrous (im)moral center Bhairava, and the ways he can be interpreted as a personification of Nietzsche’s will to power itself; and, finally, the epitomizing reflections conveyed in its two concluding chapters.

5. With Cold Foreign Eyes? Existential Meaning in Truth vs. Mystery in Religion and Art
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskapSammanfattning : This essay explores two approaches to finding existential meaning in religion: either by an approach advocating feelings of mystery and sensuous immediacy, thus justifying an ineffability of mysterious experiences, or by an approach which advocates truth and objectivity. Although the latter approach views truth in existential terms (“existential truth”) it can be criticised for diminishing the “magic” of religion much in the same way science does in its pursuit of material truth.
