Ett numinöst och programmerat kosmos : Religion och naturvetenskap i Peter Nilsons Projekt Nyaga
No full textA numinous and programmed cosmos: Religion and science in Peter Nilson’s Projekt Nyaga. By Mathias Persson. The purpose of the thesis has been to demonstrate one instance of interaction between popular science and science fiction. This demonstration has focused on the Swedish writer Peter Nilson, whose science fiction novels Nyaga and Rymdväktaren in many respects allude to his numerous essays on humanity and the universe. The thesis identifies four themes of a numinous character in the novels – one technological (omniscient super quantum computers), one mathematical or virtual (computer simulations of God), one evolutionary (god-like aliens), and one theistic (the design argument). When taken together, these not only indicate a harmonious relationship between science and religion, but between Nilson’s popular science and science fiction books as well. The contours of the world-view conveyed in Nyaga and Rymdväktaren are also traceable in the essays, which points to a coherent and enduring conception of reality on behalf of the author. Even if Nilson’s adherence to the modern, cosmology-based design argument cannot be definitively proven, much of what he has written suggests his acceptance of a natural theology wherein the beauty, intricacy, and order of the cosmos combine to display the existence of a Grand Programmer. Hence, Nilson provides a computerisation of the universe insofar as he characterises it as a program or a programmed artefact, made intelligible and accessible primarily by sophisticated computers in the service of a reformed, technologically superior Catholic Church.</p

Swedish integration policy documents: a close dialogic reading
No full textSweden as the great welfare state where everybody is equally welcomed and cared for has for long been the prevailing view. Although Swedish integration policy seems to confirm this view, this is far removed from many people’s experienced reality. I argue that part of this disharmony lies in how West European languages contain and relate to an ‘identity’ construction, which perpetuates and is perpetuated through dichotomies that strengthen the social and political cogency of concepts such as ‘race’, ethnicity and culture. Based on this, I carry out a discourse analysis of Sweden’s major integration policy documents from the mid 1970s up to today.
After an eclectic reading of discourses on migration and integration terminology, ‘identity’ and language, I assert the centrality of ‘identity’ construction to everything we do. With this in mind, taking the dialogism promoted by the Bakhtinian Circle as the dichotomy to monologism, I carry out a close dialogic reading in the tradition of Lynn Pearce (1994) and Peter Stallybrass and Allon White (1986).
Contextualising the policy documents, I present the history of migration and integration from a Swedish perspective. Focusing on the last five decades, I divide the different historic tendencies into themes ranging from: emigration to labour migration, refugee migration and the European Union, and from immigrant policy to integration policy.
Believing that the conceptualisation and the handling of categorisation, segregation, culture, discrimination and racism are all central to a successful integration policy, I analyse the policy documents thematically accordingly. I show how the interdependence of the common ‘identity’ constructions and language sometimes obscures and frequently counteracts the intention of the author. As a result, I argue that the Bakhtinian Circle holds the key to a better understanding of the invincibility of stereotyping within racialised discourses, through applying absolute ‘identity’ constructions in monologic speech, and how this may be counteracted in order to strive for a dialogic approach to the world

Infiltration of Waldheim
No full text"Infiltration of Waldheim" är ett spel gjort av David Lindell (grafik), Andreas Persson (programmering) och Mathias Jönsson (ljud och musik). Målet vi hade med projektet var att ha en spelbar bana med minst en vapen typ samt fiender att eliminera, allt ackompanjerat med pampig musik och en massa ljudeffekter. Jag kommer i denna rapport beskriva arbetets gång samt reflektera över vad som har fungerat och vad som varit mindre bra under projektets gång. Mina planer för spelet var mest att lära mig mera om framförallt AI samt arbeta mera i 3d. Spelet ska mest vara för mig själv, men med lite putsning och mera innehåll eventuellt användas vid jobb ansökningar i framtiden
Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé
No full textPaul Bourget, A committed writer, Yehoshua Mathias.
In the France of the early twentieth century, Paul Bourget's figure is that of a successful novelist who became gradually a «committed author». A monarchist, deeply conservative, passionate defender of religion and the family as the vital bases of the social order, he thus became the bard of the bourgeois ethic faced with the destabilization of modernity.Mathias Yehoshua. Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé. In: Vingtième Siècle, revue d'histoire, n°45, janvier-mars 1995. pp. 14-29
