Intentionen med denna uppsats var att, genom att göra en semiologisk analys av myten om samerna och deras symbiotiska förhållande till renarna, få klarhet i vilka konsekvenser denna stereotyp har, och har haft, för det samiska folket.   Undersökningen visar inte bara negativa konsekvenser, så som nedvärdering och förskjutning, utan att bilden även har en positiv sida. Idag när myten mer eller mindre avslöjat sig själv, givetvis mycket tack vare mytkonsumenternas ökade intresse och förståelse för ursprungsbefolkningar, blir stereotypen avmytifierad ? d.v.s. den blir åter en symbol för samerna och det samiska. Samerna kan nu själva, i förmedlandet av den egna historien, använda sig av bilden och medverka till att den förändras.   .

The 17th October 2014 the Swedish Armed Forces (SwAF) introduced an intelligence operation in Stockholm archipelago after receiving credible observations regarding illegal underwater activities. Following the data collection and associated analysis it could be stated with certainty that a foreign submarine had violated the Swedish territorial waters. Media depend on SwAF to provide them with accurate information due to the confidentiality in these matters and the general area of investigation is therefore how the actions of the Swedish Armed Forces, in the submarine incident 2014, were portrayed in the Swedish media. Newspapers and blogs of defense policy represent the media and the thesis is based on the theories constructed by Graham Allison, the rational actor, organizational behavior and governmental politics. Furthermore, it is relevant to examine if there are any similarities or differences in how the submarine incident is illustrated, and what may be the reason for any possible occurrences.

Jag har närmat mig Yat-tekniken ur en genuskontext för att se om det är möjligt att med den kunna göra mer medvetna val som skådespelare utifrån behovet av att inte följa den normativa bilden av vad en kvinna eller man ska vara, representera eller presenteras som på scenen. I mitt arbete har jag använt och undersökt Yat-tekniken som en möjlighet att se schablonen eller kategoriseringen i den vedertagna bilden av vad en människa ska vara. Jag har utgått från att femininiteter och maskuliniteter betecknar mänskliga karaktärsegenskaper fritt flytande. De har således inget med skådespelarens biologiska kön att göra. Med den utgångspunkten vore det potentiellt möjligt att med hjälp av Yat- tekniken kroppsligen applicera dessa rörelsekvalitéer på alla individer oavsett könstillhörighet.

SammanfattningUndersökningens syfte var att ta reda på vad som är bildens språkliga funktion, hur man kan använda sig av bildspråket i barnens läsutveckling samt varför man skall integrera ämnet bild och svenska i barnens läsutveckling. För att få svar på mina frågor har jag studerat litteratur samt gjort två intervjuer med en specialpedagog på komvux och en grundskollärare. Jag genomförde även en observation av fyra barn i klass 3. I undersökningen framkom att miljöbilder var ett arbetssätt med fokus på bilden som metod i barnens läsinlärning. Jag fann också att det finns många olika nivåer bland barnen i en klass, med bilden så kan man på ett bra sätt göra många olika uppgifter i varierad svårighetsgrad som utvecklar barnets språk.

Studiens syfte är att studera vilken bild av muslimer som förmedlas i svensk tidningsmedia veckan efter terrorattacken mot World Trade Center i New York den 11 september 2001. Undersökningen tar sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i postkolonial teori och Saids ?orientalism?-begrepp. Jag har valt att använda mig av en riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att undersöka vad källmaterialet förmedlar och har utifrån innehållet skapat kategorier som ska tydliggöra detta. Slutresultaten visar att den bild som tidningarna förmedlade av muslimer efter terrordådet den 11 september 2001 var präglad av stereotyper om Orienten, där muslimer bland annat beskrivs som känslostyrda, omoderna och religiösa.
