1. Ljuset från mörkaste Småland - Orrefors belysningsarmaturer under åren 1916 – 1949
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studierSammanfattning : The Light from darkest Småland Lighting products from Orrefors during the period 1916 – 1949 The Light from darkest Småland (a region in southern Sweden where Orrefors is located) aims to take a closer look at the lighting production at Orrefors glass works during the period from 1916, when artist Simon Gate was employed as Orrefors’ first artistic advisor, to 1949 when the transition from an experi¬mental activity where lighting products were produced as art glass to an industrial production can be considered as complete. The three main topics that this bachelor’s thesis covers are (i) the general deve¬lopment of the lighting production at Orrefors during the period, (ii) what main internal and external factors that can be identified as drivers for this development, and (iii) what signs that can be found in the products themselves that illustrate these drivers.

Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Konstvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : The aim of this study is to analyse the contemporary art critical reception of Siri Derkert’s Ristningar i naturbetong (translates to Engravings in natural concrete) (1965) at the metro station of Östermalmstorg in central Stockholm, and further contextualising the reception within the art debate of modern and public art in 1960’s Sweden. Using linguist Norman Fairclough’s three step-discourse analysis as both methodological and theoretical starting points, combined with art historian Wolfgang Kemp's reception aesthetics, archived newspaper articles, principally from the year 1965, are read and analysed in the study.

4. Visualisering av tystade historier - En dekolonial kulturanalys av verket I firandet av vår kamp finns deras undergång
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaperSammanfattning : The dominant narrative of history, prevalent in Sweden, is of a country which has no structural racism and that had no part in the colonization of the Americas or in the transatlantic slave trade. This is far from the truth, and this study connects Sweden’s role in the slave trade and as a country with colonial ambitions, as well as its history of racial biology, with the racialization of non-white bodies.
