The aim of this dissertation is to investigate a number of U.S. avant-garde films using Deleuzian film-philosophy in order to describe their thought. I develop the taxonomy of cinematic images created by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze by introducing a new type of image. The notion of the sobjective image I conceptualize points to the immanent semiosis that characterizes certain films. The s

In the wake of well-known instances of corporate misconduct – for example Enron in the U.S., and Skandia in Sweden – consumers ask for more transparent corporate brand practices to make corporate brands trustworthy. However, potentially, consumers who put their trust in brands may be sacrificing some of their own control, thus weakening themselves in the trusting relationship. The aim of this book

The biogeochemical cycling of silicon (Si) along the land-to-ocean continuum is studied by a variety of research fields and for a variety of scientific reasons. However, there is an increasing need to refine the methodology and the underlying assumptions used to determine biogenic silica (BSi) concentrations. Recent evidence suggests that contributions of nonbiogenic sources of Si dissolving durin

Shopping malls are a global phenomenon, and as such they reach a degree of local iconicity simply by being malls. One of the main roles shopping malls play in our everyday lives is nurturing social interactions. Shopping malls have been portrayed by many scholars as places where people go to practice consumer religion (Fiske, 1989; Ritzer, 1999; Zepp, 1997), prime temples which glorify consumption

Increasingly dominant Net Zero pledges to address climate change are promoting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to excuse business-as-usual of fossil fuel use and land grabbing. Through Participatory Activist Research in collaboration with the Climate Land Ambition and Rights Alliance (CLARA), this thesis investigates how to challenge the corporate appropriation of NbS in the Net Zero narrative. Throu

Despite the so-called ‘great retreat’, in which people arguably are distancing themselves from the political sphere and civic engagement, the last two years has seen an upsurge in political activities. Outside the realms of institutionalised politics, i.e. political parties, lies a whole terrain of alternative political activities, including social movements and media institutions. Following the E

One excuse for not making use of the visual sources is the difficulty in interpreting them. Before the historian can even try to make valid use of an image, he has to know what he is looking for, when and for what purpose it was made, in what circumstances, current visual conventions, technical and other constraints.1 Thus, extracting information from visual sources and combining it with literary

Researchers have called for the need to investigate the salesperson's role in customer value creation in the context of companies moving into service and solution businesses. Despite the indisputable importance of the sales function in the company's customer relationships and in value creation for these customers, relevant literature has not yet answered the question of what salespeople actually d

Objective. Infected pancreatic necrosis is the main cause of death in patients with acute pancreatitis, and therefore its early prediction is of utmost importance. Endogenous cortisol metabolism plays a basic role both in the course of acute pancreatitis and in the process of infection. The purpose of this study was to analyze corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), total cortisol, calculated free
