After a century of Swedish State monopoly of printing, with only one printing office, that of the Royal Printer in Stockholm, the beginning of the 17th century marks a spread of establishments over the realm. This is a conscious change in Government media policy. Around 1650 there were nine printing shops active in Sweden, six of these in provincial towns with universities or diocesan schools, but

That democracy brings peace has been long known. That war may, in certain cases, bring democracy has not. However, the essay begins by exploring the history of humanitarian and liberal interventions, as well as the history of ideas behind them. I have found that the first cases appeared in the 19th-century, though they were rare until the second half of the 20th. I have also discussed legal and et

Ever since the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in February 1986, many different theories about who the killer could be have been created and discussed. One of the more intensely discussed theories is the “police-conspiracy theory”. In this thesis I investigate how this theory became a kind of public knowledge in the years after the assassination. Using a theoretical framework base

Digital visual effects (VFX) has become increasingly primary to film and TV production. With major media conglomerates historically exercising great influence over the spatial distribution of industry activity, production localisation has been determined by cost-effectiveness and access to local tax incentive programmes.

Sweden is renowned for its centralised wage bargaining system, which has been studied from the point of view of inflation, wage differentials and unemployment. This article studies media coverage of wage bargaining rounds in the 1950s–1960s and in the 2000s–2010s to investigate the social understanding of what the wage bargaining institutions are supposed to do. The results indicate that the opera

This dissertation defines a number of new concepts, such as pop-up mosque, social media adhan, non-Muslim Islam, and warping, to give a detailed description how the Mariam Mosque (with female imams) was established and the kind of phenomenon it is.
