  1. 6. The Female Reader at the Round Table : Religion and Women in Three Contemporary Arthurian Texts

    Författare :Kristina Hildebrand; Elizabeth Sklar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; religion; women; gender; Marion Zimmer Bradley; Mary Stewart; Stephen R. Lawhead; reader response; feminism; Arthurian; Engelska; English language; Engelska språket; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : Stretching back at least a thousand years, Arthurian literature constitutes a vigorous and varied genre that attracts scholarly attention. In a close reading of three modern Arthurian texts, Mary Stewart’s Merlin trilogy, The Crystal Cave (1970), The Hollow Hills (1973), The Last Enchantment (1979), Marion Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon (1982), and Stephen Lawhead’s Pendragon Cycle, Taliesin (1987), Merlin (1988), Arthur (1989), Pendragon (1994), and Grail (1997), this study focuses on the intersection between two of the genre’s motifs: religion and gender.

  3. 7. “Woke” Authenticity in Brand Culture : A Patchwork Ethnography

    Författare :Jonatan Södergren; Jacob Östberg; Nishant Kumar; Shona Bettany; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; authenticity; consumer research; cultural branding; deconstruction; marginalized consumers; marketing communications; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Authenticity is often considered the holy grail in marketing. Prior research has focused on authenticity in consumption and marketing communications based on countercultural images of personal freedom, including mythologies based on resistant rebels and social outlaws. LÄS MER

  4. 8. John Cowper Powys: Displacements of Voice and Genre

    Författare :Eivor Lindstedt; Engelska; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; John Cowper Powys; Porius; cornucopian writing; narrative structure; narratology; Mikhail M. Bakhtin; novelistic discourse; dialogicity; polyphony; parody; chronotope; genre; metonymy in literature; Roman Jakobson; Engelska språk och litteratur ; English language and literature; myth in literature; A Glastonbury Romance;

    Sammanfattning : This study is based on dialogic readings of two of John Cowper Powys´s major novels, A Glastonbury Romance and Porius. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the interrelationship in the examined texts between the chain of narrative displacements and the frequent changes of voice and genre. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Cellulose Nanofibril-based Hybrid Materials : Eco-friendly design towards separation and packaging applications

    Författare :Luis Valencia; Aji Mathew; Olli Ikkala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; hybrid materials; membranes; aerogels; separation; food packaging; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Sammanfattning : Nanocellulose has been lately considered as the “Holy-Grail” in the design of sustainable materials due to its bio-origin and an unprecedented combination of prominent features, including good mechanical properties, anisotropy and versatile surface chemistry. In addition, nanocellulose in the form of cellulose nanofibrils, can adopt variable structures and morphologies depending on the processing technique, such as aerogels, films and monoliths. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Aqueous graphene dispersions for paper packaging

    Författare :Wei Zhao; Anwar Ahniyaz; Abhilash Sugunan; Thomas Gillgren; Johan A. Larsson; Zhi-Bin Zhang; Shi-Li Zhang; Valeria Nicolosi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Graphene; Aqueous graphene dispersions; Noncovalent interactions; Composites; Barriers; Inkjet printing; Kemi med inriktning mot kemisk fysik; Chemistry with specialization in Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Graphene is widely touted as the thinnest and the most versatile material available. As an atomically thin layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal configuration, graphene has a combination of technologically important properties, such as thermal and electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and impermeability to gases.
