1. The suffocating enjoyment of the Other: An ideology critique of enjoyment in the mediatisation of the climate crisis
Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historiaSammanfattning : This thesis explores how the Lacanian concept of ‘the enjoyment of the Other’ (la jouissance de l’Autre) can be applied to break open normative understandings of the political factors shaping the climate crisis deadlock. The principal aim is to investigate how ostensibly disconnected environmental debates may be regarded as linked by an economy of enjoyment, more precisely by the promise of enjoyment by which the subject is libidinally attached to an ideology.

2. Epicness through level design : A God of War case study
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för informationsteknologiSammanfattning : Epic poems originate from Ancient Greece with the most well-known one being the Odyssey by Homer.

3. ”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.

4. Beer Festival and Place Identity : An Analysis of Munich Oktoberfest And Qingdao International Beer Festival
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Teologiska institutionenSammanfattning : As microcosms of German and Chinese societies, Munich Oktoberfest and Qingdao International Beer Festival are important manifestations of local culture. This study intends to answer the following question: to which extent are beer festivals in Germany and China related to local history and the local sense of place? A historical overview of the beer festivals in Munich and Qingdao is provided, as well as an analysis of how people seeking a sense of belonging creatively combine cognitive schemata of modernity with local cultural systems on a symbolic level.
