Comparing men and times : the classical sources and the political significance of Ben Jonson's "Sejanus" and "Catiline" in early Jacobean and Restoration England
No full textThe primary objective of this thesis is to examine the interaction between drama and
politics in Ben Jonson's two surviving tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, during the
early years of the Jacobean and Restoration periods. Jonson relied heavily on
classical scholarship in writing his two extant tragedies, his stated reason being to
convince the readers of their "truth of Argument". But Jonson, nevertheless,
adapted his sources in an ingenious way that both suited his dramatic purposes and
served to cast light on social and political realities in the England of his own day.
For Jonson, as for many Renaissance historians, the past had meaning primarily
because of its valuable lessons for the present and the future. Thus, one of my aims
is to examine both the nature and the extent of Jonson's dependenceo n the classical
sources which provided him with the historical stories and details that he dramatized
in the two plays. SuccessiveE nglish governmentsi n the seventeenthc entury treated
drama, especially that based on historical material, as a potentially dangerous
medium for disseminating propaganda and for influencing public opinion against
specific government policies. Therefore, part of this work will be devoted to
discussing censorship regulations within early Jacobean and Restoration England,
and to examining their effects both on Jonson and on the reception of his two
tragedies. Each of the two plays is studied in the context of its historical sources in
order to determine Jonson's method of adapting his sources as well as the extent of
topicality that each play seems to provide, both on the Jacobean and the Restoration
stage. The method adopted in this study is to place the two Roman tragedies within
the contemporary setting for which they were originally intended and then within
the context of the early Restoration period when the two plays are thought to have
been revived

Author Functions in Lars Kepler\u27s The Hypnotist: An Analysis
No full textThis paper examines Foucault\u27s notion of the author function as it pertains to Lars Kepler\u27s bestselling 2011 crime thriller, The Hypnotist. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of a Swedish husband-wife writing duo, making him the perfect subject for analysis centering on illusory notion of the author. This paper will answer these questions: Who is the true author of The Hypnotist? What factors influence the author function of this bestelling novel? And what can The Hypnotist phenomenon tell us about the relationships between authors and their readers? This paper will demonstrate that no literary works may be ascribed to an individual person, and that authors hold no privileged knowledge of the works they produce, because authors cease to be authors the moment pen is lifted from page

”Lärda nyheter” i Peter Hernquists korrespondens till Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck - med kommentarer och utvikningar
No full textI detta Meddelande nr 55 från Veterinärhistoriska museet har författaren - professor emeritus Lars-Erik Appelgren - gjort ett urval av den korrespondens som Peter Hernquist hade med sina mentorer Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck under sin vistelse i Frankrike, varvid ”Lärda nyheter” varit en ledstjärna för urvalet. Speciellt har breven till Bäck försetts med författarens personliga kommentarer men även kompletterats med faktaupplysningar från andra källor än breven om berörda nyheter. För att underlätta läsningen har dessa kommentarer omgetts med enkelkonturerad och utvikningarna med dubbelkonturerad ram. Lars-Erik Appelgren har inte bara genom sitt veterinärhistoriska författarskap utan också genom att ställa sina fackliga kunskaper och sin eminenta estetiska läggning till förfogande gjort Veterinärhistoriska museet ovärderliga tjänster. Det är med stor glädje jag noterar att region Uppsala nyligen visat sin uppskattning genom att tilldela Lars-Erik sitt Medicinhistoriska stipendium med motiveringen att de vill ”lyfta fram ett viktigt men ofta förbisett område inom medicinhistorien: veterinärmedicinen”. Med de varmaste gratulationer
Interpreting Wage Bargaining Norms
No full textFrom the mid-1990s onwards, Swedish wage bargaining has been characterised by informal co-ordination of the wage claims of big unions and bargaining cartels. In particular, it has been understood that the manufacturing sector should lead by first agreeing on a pay increase, whereafter the service sector and public sector unions choose a similar increase. We analyse his setup with two possible theoretical interpretations: (i) the manufacturing sector as a tackelberg leader and (ii) a normative role for the manufacturing sector’s pay increase, upported either by unmodelled social pressure or a modeled loss aversion (envy) of the heltered sector unions. The conclusion of the analysis is that the normative or leading role of one sector – in the Swedish case the manufacturing sector – can potentially bring big benefits for employment and output. Generalising an idea suggested by Lars Calmfors and Anna Larsson, our analysis also generates a rudimentary theory of why the wage increase norm sometimes binds and sometimes not. A comparison of the model predictions and the observed outcomes of the last five wage bargaining rounds in Sweden suggests that the model is generally consistent with the empirical observations: wage moderation and norm observance are stronger when the manufacturing industry’s initial relative wage is low.wage bargaining; bargaining co-ordination
