1. THE CHOSEN CREATURES: HOW ANIMAL JUXTAPOSITIONS IN ANTISEMITIC PROPAGANDA CONTRIBUTED TO INSTITUTIONALIZED OTHERNESS
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för filosofi, lingvistik och vetenskapsteoriSammanfattning : This paper discusses how anthropomorphic animals have been used in depicting Jews in antisemitic art and propaganda imagery since the late High Middle Ages until the first half of the 20th century. It sheds light on why certain animal species were chosen to symbolize Jews, and categorizes the animals into three groups: creatures taken from the Hebrew Scriptures and the Jewish folklore inspired by it, animals presented in secular and pagan folklore influenced by legends from Ancient Greece and Rome, and the “anti-charismatic” fauna.

Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)Sammanfattning : Browsing patterns in large herbivorous mammals are complex and decisions regarding food items occur at different levels depending on internal or external factors such as energy requirements and available food sources.

5. Of Chaos And Clockworks : A Formal Criticism Of The Modern Sustainability Paradigm
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/MiljövetenskapSammanfattning : This thesis is a critical review of two central theories in the modern sustainability paradigm – namely… (1) the theory that the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere form a complex adaptive system – the Earth system, and (2) the theory that all human activities are intrinsically dependent on, and constrained by, non-anthropogenic states and processes in the Earth system. The thesis explains the origins and the logic of these theories, and subjects them to formal, semi-formal and comparative criticism. LÄS MER
