Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studier forskar om äldre, modern och nutida konst, arkitektur och design utifrån historiska, samhälleliga och estetiska infallsvinklar. Konsthistoria är en humanistisk disciplin i betydelsen ett studium av det mänskliga.

It has often been stated that the Chronographia by the eleventh-century prolific author Michael Psellos is a piece of historiography that reads almost like a novel, and that Psellos spends much time on describing characters and taking ironical stances towards his imperial protagonists. This article claims that a refined version of this may be seen in Psellos’ book six on Constantine IX Monomachos.

The short stories from Francisco Tario, a relatively unknown Mexican author, show signs of a postmodern and individual aesthetic. In order to reach this conclusion, it has been necessary to analyze the phenomenon of the fantastic in its history, its relation to myth and fantasy, and in its particular reception throughout Latin America and Mexico.

Immunsystemet håller oss friska och kan på ett kontrollerat sätt öka sin aktivitet (inflammation) för att bekämpa infektioner. Om inflammationen i luftvägarna är överdriven och långvarig kan det skada lungvävnaden och leda till bindvävsombyggnad (fibros), infektionskänslighet och försämrad lungfunktion. I projektet undersöker vi nyckelmekanismer som kan användas för att begränsa vävnadsskadan i luThe immune system keeps us healthy and upon infection, its activity is upregulated in a strictly controled manner (i.e. inflammation) to eradicate invading pathogens. Excessive and long-standing inflammation cause tissue injury, subsequently resulting in remodeling (fibrosis), vulnerability to acquire infections, and respiratory failure. In the project, we characterize key mechanisms of importance

Tomas Eloy Martínez´ Santa Evita displays a profusion of ekphrastic sequencies through which the photographic representations become a recurring theme. This study examines these descriptions of photographies with the purpose of studying what the inclusion of this visual collage responds to and what place this occupies in the temporal development and in the general imaginary economy of the work.
