1. Modality in Spiritual Literature : A Corpus Aided Discourse Study on Sadhguru and Eckhart Tolle
Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)Sammanfattning : This study investigates and discusses how two spiritual teachers from different parts of the world interact with their devotees, what the probable impacts of their interaction are, and whether they speak similarly or differently based on the use of modal auxiliary verbs and pronouns. Linguistically speaking, the mystics mostly have to address their audience/readers in a particular manner with expressions which represent certainty, possibility, obligation and so on; thus, a study of such is necessary and modal auxiliary verbs represent such expressions.

3. 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’.

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
