  1. 1. From Dawn to Dusk: studying the origin of the Islamic fivefold daily liturgy in the Qur’ān

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap

    Författare :Davide de Francesco; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Islam; prayer; Qur anic studies; Qur anic exegeses; Christianity; Judaism; Philosophy and Religion;

    Sammanfattning : Despite prayer being one of the most central tenets of Islam, this subject has drawn the attention of surprisingly little scholarship, especially when it comes to studying its origin against pre-Islamic analogues. Thus, this thesis proposes a reconstruction of the very early history of the fivefold daily Islamic liturgy, attempting also to weigh the extent of the influence that pre-Islamic religions, primarily Middle Eastern Christianity and Judaism, might have had in its development.

  2. 2. Being Like Water: Exploring Openness, Intuition, and External Creative Tools as Parts of the Creative Process

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Konstnärliga fakulteten i Malmö

    Författare :Eli Tausen Á Lava; [2022]
    Nyckelord :music composition; openness; intuition; external creative tools; creative blocks; changing plans; decision-making; Eastern philosophy; Performing Arts; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : How can openness, intuition and external creative tools be valuable assets to the creative process? In this thesis, I explore that question as it relates to three distinct perspectives: my reflections on my own approach, other artists’ thoughts on the subject and the composition of my orchestral piece "let me cry" (2022). My findings are that by integrating openness, intuition, and external creative tools into one’s creative practice, one can more easily overcome creative blocks, come up with material, and think of original ideas while saving time and energy that would otherwise be spent on considering various options or coming up with solutions to creative problems.
