11. Den gudomliga kroppen : en psykologisk tolkning av hinduisk śāktism och tantrism
Sammanfattning : The Hindu Çåktism and Tantrism are based on psychological assumptions and philosophical theories that are closely related to ritual phenomena. The primary purpose of this thesis is to present a psychological understanding of this relation, more specifically from the point of view of object-relations theory, and even to some extent, Sundén's role-theory, speech act theory and Lacan's use of the concepts of "metaphor" and "metonymy".

12. Minding the Body : Interacting socially through embodied action
Sammanfattning : This dissertation clarifies the role and relevance of the body in social interaction and cognition from an embodied cognitive science perspective.

14. Tomboys, Belles, and Other Ladies : The Female Body-Subject in Selected Works by Katherine Anne Porter and Carson McCullers
Sammanfattning : This study investigates how the Southern writers Katherine Anne Porter and Carson McCullers negotiate the process of becoming a woman in their texts and expose and ridicule the artificiality of that category. Focusing on a selection of Porter’s “Miranda stories” (published between 1935 and 1941) and “The Princess” (1993) and McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), The Member of the Wedding (1946), and The Ballad of the Sad Café (1943), I argue that both writers voice their protest against patriarchal society that forecloses women’s assumption of subjectivity.

Sammanfattning : This book is about the participatory aesthetics of the fantastic. In it, the author argues that the definition of the fantastic presented by Tzvetan Todorov in 1970 can be used, provided it is first adapted to a media-ecological framework, to theorize the role of aesthetic participation in the creation of secondary worlds.
