    Voor 't gewone leven ongeschikt. Een biografie van Clare Lennart

    No full text
    Voor ’t gewone leven ongeschikt. A biography of Clare Lennart, is a literary and historical biography of author Clare Lennart (Clara Helena van den Boogaard-Klaver, 1889-1972). Her work contains many recognisably autobiographical elements, especially from her youth. An extensive overview of the life of this 'forgotten author' is the basis for this critical and interpretive biography. In addition it shows Clare Lennart's unique position in her time, the unusual choices she made and ‘the roads not taken’ in her life. The main focus of the research is the question of how Clare Lennart gained an economic position as a woman of letter. A second question focuses on the concepts of posture and self-fashioning. The thesis demonstrates that Clare Lennart was aware of her image as a 'poetic nature lover' and that she openly presented herself as a hack writer. Clare Lennart's poetic style nowadays seems more dated than the sober language used by contemporary authors. Nevertheless, she had a large audience between 1945 and 1972 and the reception was nearly always positive. The biography discusses the contemporary reception of her work in detail and why Clare Lennart's work is omitted from the Dutch canon, using the concept of ‘middle-brow’ literature.Modern and Contemporary Studie

    The Cat Blows in the Silver Horn… On Lennart Hellsing’s Poetry, and Its Folk-inspired Musicality

    No full text
    The literary works of Lennart Hellsing have had a significant impact on the rise of modern Swedish books for children. Having worked closely with outstanding illustrators and eminent composers, the author created an ultimate masterpiece which, at the same time, became an alternative to the aesthetics of the turn of the century, still dominant in the 1940s. Turning towards the new did not mean that the author wished to cut off his works from tradition. This article aims at presenting how Lennart Hellsing used rhythmical, syntactical and melodic structures originating in Swedish folklore on different levels of his literary achievements. A very special place in Hellsing’s writing was occupied by the folk song, which in his works was also present in a network of intertextual ties

    Policies of Minority Quotas and Discrimination in Higher Education: A case from Sweden

    No full text
    Lennart Wikander looks at the Swedish example of increasing the proportion of immigrants in Higher Education to illustrate the conflicts between policies in different areas when transformed into action plans. The increasingly multicultural Europe also has to develop a multicultural labour market with representation from different groups in all areas and at all levels. In this chapter the author highlights the conflicts between Minority Quotas and discrimination.</p

    Extracting Hadamard Coefficients from Green's Operators

    No full text
    We develop a formula for the diagonal values of the Hadamard coefficients associated to a normally hyperbolic operator on a globally hyperbolic spacetime in terms of the advanced and retarded Green's operators. We develop a local formula as well as formulae for integrals over (parts of) the diagonal. Furthermore, we develop analogues of the Hadamard expansion for powers of the advanced/retarded Green's operators and an analogue of a resolvent.Comment: This is the Author's Ph. D. thesis (with minor typo corrections), advised by Prof. Matthias Lesch and unofficially also advised by Dr. Koen van den Dungen. A shorter and more easily readable version of the part on additional expansions is in the makin

    Perturbations of APS Boundary Conditions for Lorentzian Dirac Operators

    No full text
    We study how far APS boundary conditions for a Lorentzian Dirac operator may be perturbed without destroying Fredholmness of the Dirac operator. This is done by developing criteria under which the perturbation of a compact pair of projections is a Fredholm pair.I would like to thank Christian Bar and Christoph Brinkmann for helpful discussions and feedback. Moreover, I would like to thank the anonymous referees for their detailed feedback

    Index Theory for Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes

    No full text
    An equality between the spectral flow of a family AA of self-adjoint Fredholm operators and the index of the associated differential operator ddtiA\frac{d}{dt}-iA with Atiyah-Patodi-Singer-style boundary conditions is shown. This generalizes a result by C.B\"ar and A. Strohmaier used to show their Lorentzian version of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer Index Theorem.Comment: This is the revised version of the author's master thesis, advised by Prof. Matthias Lesch and Dr. Koen van den Dungen at the University of Bon
