  4. 23. Spår, kropp, tid : En undersökning av den måleriska gestens materialitet 1952–1965

    Författare :Joel Odebrant; Håkan Nilsson; Kristoffer Arvidsson; Södertörns högskola; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Gesture; materiality; abstract art; painting; abstract expressionism; art informel; material agency; capacity; Gest; materialitet; abstrakt konst; måleri; abstrakt expressionism; art informel; agens; kapacitet; Kritisk kulturteori; Critical and Cultural Theory; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies;

    Sammanfattning : I Spår, kropp, tid undersöks den måleriska gestens materialitet i måleri som förknippas med abstrakt expressionism och informell konst. Ett återkommande drag i beskrivningarna av denna konst är att den sägs peka mot, eller handla om, individen eller individualitet; antingen som ett uttryck förkonstnärens inre liv genom fria, improviserade stråk på duken, eller i relation till sociala och historiska sammanhang där individualiteten har uppfattats som undertryckt av industrialismens effekter eller av kollektivistisk statligpolitik.

  5. 24. Corruption, Distortions and Development

    Författare :Sebastian Jävervall; Niklas Bengtsson; Eva Mörk; Jakob Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Accountability; Corruption; Economic Development; Information Disclosure; International Trade; Meritocracy; Political Distortions; Social Unrest; State Capacity; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Essay I: Does increased government transparency make bureaucracies more meritocratic? I study the impact of politician disclosure requirements on the assignment of bureaucrats to public posts. I collect detailed information on bureaucrats' qualifications and construct a novel measure of bureaucratic mismatch—an index measuring the extent to which a bureaucrat is under- or overqualified to perform a specific task.

  7. 25. Desirable Victims: Systems of Refugee Selection in Swedish and Canadian Migration Governing

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores how states try to govern refugee migration by classifying and ordering its subjects. It argues that a unifying construct of state migration control is selection: to maintain a system that offers protection to wanted people and keeps out unwanted people. LÄS MER
