1. ”The shrieking of nothing is killing me” : Representations of society of the spectacle and hyperreality in David Bowie’s lyrics
Kandidat-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskapSammanfattning : This text explores how the lyrics of David Bowie can be applied as supporting the critique against hyperreality and society of the spectacle, as articulated by Guy Debord and Jean Baudrillard. This is done by focusing on three questions: 1) what elements in Bowie’s lyrics support Debord and Baudrillard, 2) how can these elements function to portray Bowie as primarily a sociologist and secondly an artist, and 3) what are the benefits of using fiction (in this case lyrics) as empirical material? From a theoretical framework building on Debord’s society of the spectacle and Baudrillard’s focus on hyperreality, I will apply a two-folded methodology of sociology through literature and socio-poetics.

3. Practically Naked: Fan Service in Anime as Hyper-Gendered Performances of Spectacle
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studierSammanfattning : This thesis combines Judith Butler’s concept of gender understood as a performance and Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle in order to apply it onto the sexually charged imagery in anime known as “fan service.” In doing so, it endeavours to answer what visually constitutes a gendered performance in fan service, and how those visuals can be read as a form of spectacle.

4. Fashioning the political statement : A qualitative study into the duality of postfashion
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för modevetenskapSammanfattning : The aim of this study is to examine the interrelationship between contemporary French luxury fashion and political struggles by examining the garments with explicit political statements from the ready-to-wear spring/summer 2015 Chanel runway, the ready-to-wear spring/summer 2017 Dior runway and the menswear fall/winter 2017 Balenciaga runway analysis as to discern the possible reasons and effects of the making of these statements. The focus of this thesis is to examine the way political struggles, as immaterial social relationships, can be commodified into garments, as according to the Marxist situationist theories of Guy Debord, and how the commodification in question by haute couture houses, rich with the sociological notion of cultural capital as described by Pierre Bourdieu, can have a potential effect on the formation of both fashion discourses and political discourses by using Foucauldian discourse analysis.
