21. Dreams of Democracy within Extreme Dystopias : A Study of the Imperium of Man
Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur (from 2013)Sammanfattning : The purpose of this essay is to analyse several of the extreme dystopian elements found in the Warhammer: 40000 megatext and reveal how these elements display critique towards authoritarian policies and philosophy. I opted for a close reading of several texts and analysed several characters’ relationship to the galactic empire known as the Imperium of Man and found themes of suppression of thought, self-existential crises and wishes for freedom.

25. The Apostle to the Intelligentsia : Father Alexander Men’ and the Rediscovery of the Russian Silver Age
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informatik och mediaSammanfattning : This thesis seeks to shed light on a remarkable figure in Russian history, Father Alexander Men’. How and why did Men’ identify Vladimir Solovyov, Nikolai Berdyaev, and other pre-revolutionary cultural figures as representatives of authentic Russian religious culture? Why would a popular Russian Orthodox priest present the writings of mystics, anarchists, and the Silver Age counterculture as the antidote for seventy years of Soviet materialism? What role did Judaism and the Russo-Jewish intellectual tradition have on Men’s identifications as an Orthodox priest? I use a semiotic theory of culture following Yuri Lotman and the Tartu–Moscow Semiotic School as a framework to analyze the historical development of Orthodox personalism. LÄS MER
