Unveiling Melodies in Shadows: An Analysis of Swedish Female Composer Amanda Maier’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in B Minor
No full textAmanda Maier (1853−1894), a pioneering Swedish violinist and composer of the late nineteenth century, holds a unique place in music history as the first-ever female music director in Sweden. Despite her significant achievements, her compositions have remained relatively unknown. Therefore, the document aims to illuminate Amanda Maier's violin works, focusing on investigating her violin sonata in terms of violin performance and pedagogy. Specifically, the study offers insights into the performance techniques employed and provides other pertinent pedagogical suggestions for each movement. The document features an introductory chapter and a review of the historical context of Maier's life and the violin sonata. Subsequent chapters shift the focus to performance practice and pedagogical suggestions with theoretical analysis. One distinctive feature of the study is the inclusion of practice exercises composed originally by the author, tailored specifically to the techniques found in the sonata. These exercises aid practitioners in incorporating Maier's violin sonata into their program. The study assists violinists in diversifying their performance and teaching literature. It seeks to inspire renewed appreciation for Amanda Maier's artistic legacy because it is important to recognize the remarkable contributions of women in the classical music industry, and Amanda Maier, an underrepresented composer, exemplifies this. The document not only contributes to music research but also enhances pedagogical practices, fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment for female composers in the classical music world
Belonging: natural histories of place, identity and home
No full textCanongate's synopsis:
"Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy – home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.
Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson’s artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language and family shape us and make us who we are."
Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize, 2023
Some of the reviews...
Outstanding - ROBERT MACFARLANE
Amanda Thomson’s new book manages to carve out a distinctive niche for itself . . . This is a passionate book and infused with a sense of rootedness - STUART KELLY, The Scotsman
In recent years rural landscapes have turned into battlegrounds, and nature writing has become increasingly polemical. Belonging is a quiet book of questions in a genre full of answers, but it is all the more powerful and beautiful for this - PATRICK GALBRAITH, TLS
One of the best things I have read in ages . . . Quiet and beautiful and powerful - ALYS FOWLER
Thomson writes of the natural in a way I have yet to encounter before. There is no real hoo-haa, no flowery description of which to speak yet somehow, I came away with that ache inside me — that renewed obsession with the world that is only borne of a very particular kind of writing — poetic, loving, raw . . . Like no other - KERRI Ní DOCHARTAIGH, Caught by the River
In strikingly original takes on Scottish history, environmentalism, Black feminist theory, artmaking, list-making, memory, and memoir, Thomson crafts a cadence that is as wise as it is vitally alive. - MARGOT DOUAIHY, author of Scorched Grac

Kathleen Jamie, Chitra Ramaswamy & Amanda Thomson: Antlers of Water - Live Event
No full text‘When we read and write, when we love our fellow creatures, when we walk on the beach, when we just listen and notice, we are not little cogs in the machine, but part of the remedy.’ These luminous words by Kathleen Jamie form part of the introduction to Antlers of Water, an outstanding collection of contemporary Scottish writing about nature and landscape.
The generosity of Jamie’s approach as editor of the collection goes beyond the stellar selection of contributors such as Amy Liptrot, Karine Polwart and Malachy Tallack: she also invokes the agency of readers to make a difference. ‘If, by reading, you are encouraged or confirmed in your love of the natural world, if you’re inspired simply to… look outside, then our job is done.’
In a discussion led by the BBC's Clare English, Jamie is joined by award-winning journalist Chitra Ramaswamy as well as visual artist and writer Amanda Thomson – both contributors to the anthology – to discuss Scotland, landscape and the more-than-human world around us.
This is a live event, with an author Q&A.

Fastighetsmäklarens syn på förhandling : En diskursanalys om hur fastighetsmäklare beskriver och ser på förhandling utefter Big Fives personlighetsdrag
No full textTitel: Fastighetsmäklarens syn på förhandling Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå(kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Amanda Lindberg och Ellen Lundstedt Handledare: Lars-Johan Åge Datum: 2022 - maj Syfte: Syftet med studien är att studera hur olika fastighetsmäklare, utefter deras personlighetsdrag, ser och uttrycker sig om sina förhandlingar. Metod: Studien har genomförts via en diskursanalys. Sex fastighetsmäklare har intervjuats med hjälp av frågor kopplade till förhandling. Intervjusvaren har sedan analyserats genom en utformad femstegsmodell anpassad för diskursanalyser. Utöver intervjun har varje mäklare genomfört en personlighetstest. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar vad som anses viktigt för respektive fastighetsmäklare i en förhandling samt vilka ord mäklarna tenderar att använda. Det framställs att mäklare med höga nivåer av neuroticism talar mycket om ståndpunkter medan mäklare med höga nivåer av extraversion talar om social förmåga, samarbete och relationer. De med höga drag av agreeableness talar i stället om relationer, förtroende och behovsanalys. Mäklare med höga nivåer av openness to experience håller med om att behovsanalys är viktigt i en förhandling medan mäklare med personlighetsdraget conscientiousness fokuserar på mål och förberedelse. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien bidrar till en ökad förståelse för hur fastighetsmäklare, utefter Big Fives personlighetstyper, talar om förhandling. Studien öppnar möjligheter till fastighetsmäklarbranschen och kan bidra till utveckling hos mäklare och mäklarstudenter. Förslag till vidare forskning: Ett förslag till vidare forskning är att differentiera fastighetsmäklarna från stad och kontor. Därefter studera om fastighetsmäklarens syn på förhandling beror på annat än deras personlighetsdrag. Nyckelord: Big Five, förhandling, diskursanalys, fastighetsmäklare
