1. Den dödlige narren : En studie av satir och humor i dödsdansen av Hans Holbein den yngre
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Konstvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : Hans Holbein's Dance of Death has fascinated researchers for centuries, and in the shape of the book Les Simulachres et historiées de la mort, published in 1538, it was going to change the perception of the dance of death theme for a long time ahead.

2. The Many Identities of Trinidadian Women in Earl Lovelace’s Salt
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för språkstudierSammanfattning : This essay aims to explore the identities of a selection of female characters in Earl Lovelace’s novel Salt. My research questions are the following: How are the selected characters’ hybrid identities constructed? What role do different circumstances play in the formation of the characters’ identities? How do polyphony, mimicry and the carnivalesque affect their identities? Although the examined women are assumed to conform to similar gender norms, I argue that there is no common female role in Salt. LÄS MER

Kandidat-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskapSammanfattning : Tolkien’s Middle Earth is characterised by the conflict between the forces of good, often represented as guardians of nature juxtaposed to the forces of evil, marked by a voracious edacity for a nature destroying industry. In fact, the second volume of the LotR deals with Saruman’s war against nature. LÄS MER
