11. Theorizing & (re)discovering the Self : An autoethnographic & affect-theoretical approach to swedishness & colombianness
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Centrum för genusvetenskapSammanfattning : This thesis is structured as a feminist creative endeavour, a practice of self-love that aims at exploring (my) depression as a cultural and social phenomenon caused mainly by an inability to correctly embody swedishness, a constant haunting of a colonial and Colombian past, and the affective dimensions of language. This text is based on autoethnographic material about the experiences of being a Colombian-born migrant in Sweden and uses mainly affect theory and decolonial theory to make sense of these experiences.

14. λόγος ζῶν καὶ παγκάλη παιδιά : Phaedrus and the contexts of discovery
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologiSammanfattning : In a short dialogue, philosopher Paul Feyerabend made some remarks regarding the interpretation of Plato’s theory of writing in the Phaedrus, which boil down to the suggestion that written works are didactically valuable when having the right kind of resemblance to “live exchanges”, adding that Plato in this respect resembles modern philosophies of science. In the present thesis, I flesh out and vindicate Feyerabend’s suggestions by a thematic reading of Phaedrus 274c–278b and a subsequent comparison of the interpreted theory with a few relevant modern philosophies of science.

15. Djur och mystiska gestalter - En begrepp- och traditionshistorisk analys av djurmetaforiken i Jesaja 34.
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskapSammanfattning : There is a dramatic apocalyptic prophecy in Isaiah 34 that contains many strange animals and creatures, and the question is: why are they lurking there in fire, smoke and darkness? This thesis aims at examining the meaning of these beings using traditio-historical criticism and key word and image analysis, in an attempt to understand Isaiah's reason for using them in the biblical context. The fate of Edom has been smitten by an angry God, wild animals and even metaphysical powers are used in the description of the prophet. LÄS MER
