Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att se hur dags- och kvällspress framställer en konflikt som involverar dem själva och spekulera i detta hanterandes konsekvenser. Detta görs genom en analys av artiklar där tidningarna tar ställning i debatten. Fokus ligger på hur de olika parterna i konflikten framställs samt vilken syn på massmedias egen roll i konflikten som förmedlas. För att uppnå en givande analys har kritisk diskursanalys kombinerats med teorier om etnicitet och rasism..

How do men who define themselves as feminists create and maintain an identity as men? In this qualitative study four men involved in feminist organizations were interviewed about their views on women, men, sex and feminism. Theories of language, psychoanalysis and ethics were utilized to further our understanding of the material these men produce in their effort to define themselves. Our object of study is the text, which we believe holds the key to understanding how an individual shapes his world and himself. The result is our interpretation of the text and its underlying mechanics.

This study aims to find out what relationship high school students have to social networks at the Internet. This has been done by focusing on norms/standards that adolescents can feel under stress to achieve, through stressing themselves by social networks in a way that is consistent with the norms. The empirical data has been gathered by questionnaires which have been answered by adolescents in randomly selected schools and classes in a medium size Swedish town, Karlskrona. The result showed that all of the participating adolescents have user accounts on a social network. Furthermore it also emerged that a lot of the adolescents thought that norms existed that should be followed in a social network about how to stress oneself.

The aim of this study was to, with a social constructivistic approach, examine how parents,regarded as neglecting their children, are depicted in 12 LVU-legal cases from the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden. By using a document analysis influenced by discourse analytical tools, we found that there are repeated descriptions of the parents, which constructs an image of parents as shortcoming in the care of their children. The categories lack of emotions, mental disorder, substance abuse and physical maltreatment were the main reasons for child neglect that the parents were described from. Attitudes towards authority, aggression and immaturity, lack of insight, and deficiencies in the home were repeated in the description of the parent. We further found that mothers were regarded as more responsible of the children compared to fathers.

Genom vårt examensarbete1 har vi för avsikt att belysa hur pedagogers talade språk kommer till uttryck i bemötandet av flickor och pojkar i förskolans pedagogiska verksamhet. Vi perspektiverar och problematiserar pedagogers språk i förskolan med stöd av två, så som vi ser dem, kontrasterande teoretiska tankefigurer ? den modernistiska essentialismen och det postmodernistiska feministiska poststrukturalismen ? i syfte att visa fram olika sätt att förstå pedagogers ageranden och förhållningssätt i sitt bemötande av barnen. Vår undersökning lyfter fram pedagogers språk som en stark maktbärande faktor för barns identitetsprocesser och att pedagogers kunskap om sitt förhållningssätt möjliggör en breddning av flickors och pojkars aktionsarenor/könsroller..

Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilka insatser samhället sätter in för de hemlösa samt hur dessa individer upplever dessa insatser. Vi ville även ta reda på vilka skillnader det finns mellan hemlösa kvinnor respektive män, intressant är även hur livet ser ut efter hemlösheten. Vi har valt att göra en kvalitativ undersökning där studien består utav fyra halvstrukturerade intervjuer gjorda med människor som tidigare varit hemlösa.Resultatet visar att det finns hjälp att få ifrån samhället om man vill ta emot den. Ofta vill hemlösa inte motta hjälp, då de inte vill ha något med myndigheter att göra. Vidare får läsaren i denna studie ta del av stämpling och stämplingsperspektivet, stigma, kriser och inte minst motivationen och dess betydelse för hemlösa.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of being a homosexual immigrant in the Swedish society. Our questions were how the interviewed homosexual immigrants experience being treated by the people in their surroundings and how they are influenced by their attitudes. We also wanted to know what kind of thoughts they have about affiliation considering origin and sexuality, and what positive and negative aspects they experience from the combination of being both homosexual and immigrants.To get the answers to these questions we used a qualitative method and interviewed seven homosexual immigrants between the ages of 25 and 40 years. We then compared our material with earlier studies of the living situation of homosexual immigrants in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. We also linked our findings to Goffman's stigma theory and to heteronormativity.The main result was that the combination of homosexuality and immigrantness can result in various difficulties.

Background: People diagnosed with psychosis are often described as introvert, isolated and with little or no ability to create and maintain social relationships. While every angle of a phenomena is valid and important, we believe that the first-person perspective provides the only direct access to the diagnosed persons? feelings and experiences.Aims: The aim of this study is to explore how a few people diagnosed with psychosis describe their experiences of social interaction.Method: This study is conducted in a Grounded Theory manner. An analysis has been performed on interviews made with five individuals, all diagnosed with a psychosis diagnosis.Results: The main result of this study is that the self-image is a core factor in the individuals experiences of, and initiative to, social interaction. The social interactions are linked to the individuals own relation to their diagnosis in a dynamic process where all components affect each other in the creating of the self-image.Conclusion: This study concludes that people diagnosed with psychosis is no different than other people when it comes to dreaming and longing for functional social relationships, but that they have some difficulties in actually finding them due to both social stigma and a poor self-image..

Studiens syfte är att se hur debatten om hedersrelaterat våld förs i media och hur olika diskurser synliggörs inom denna. Metoden för studien är Ernesto Laclau och Chantal Mouffes diskursteori. Materialet utgörs av debattartiklar, krönikor och ledare i dags- och kvällspress. I den mediala debatten kring hedersrelaterat våld har två övergripande diskurser kunnat urskiljas. En kulturell förståelsemodell förklarar hedersvåld som ett kulturellt fenomen som inte är jämförbart med andra former av manligt våld mot kvinnor.

Abstract: The purpose with this study was to explore different peoples preconceived opinions of three psychiatric diagnoses; Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These designations are accompanied by a definite social stigma, which could have profound effects on a person diagnosed with either disorder. These designations carry the risk of excluding and labelling individuals and could provoke a feeling of abnormality and potentially segregate them from the Community. This study is a qualitative study of six individuals, (sample size equals six). The rationale behind the selection was to get a broad representation of different individuals? opinions.
