1. Experientiality and Sensorial Gesamtkunstwerk in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury
Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the semiotic experiences in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury from a reader perspective by analyzing in what ways sensorial gesamtkunstwerk is used to convey or evoke sensations that appeal to the reader on a cognitive level. Drawing from Marco Caracciolo’s theories on experientiality which operate under the assumption that an evoked feeling from a text is dependent on the reader’s familiarity with their emotions and senses, this thesis claims that the bridge between narratological (textual) experiences and the reader’s experiences in the novel is made possible through sensorial aesthetics that appeal to our sensory modalities and that operate in a gestalt fashion to form a sensorial gesamtkunstwerk.

5. "If I had been there I could not have seen it this plain" : Minnesforskning och William Faulkners Absalom, Absalom!
Kandidat-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för kultur och lärandeSammanfattning : In this essay I employ memory theories to examine Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. How are the memories depicted and how do they function in the novel? What are the characters 'allowed' to remember? Scholars that have written about William Faulkners usage of memories and narrative time in his novels, often claim that they together represent and create a sense of determinism and/or fatalism.
