Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att genom en jämförande studie mellan fyra svenska tidningar ta reda på hur bevakningen av svenska kungliga bröllop har förändrats mellan 1932 och 2010. De bröllop som studien behandlar är de mellan arvprins Gustav Adolf och prinsessan Sibylla, kung Carl XVI Gustaf och Silvia Sommerlath, samt kronprinsessan Victoria och Daniel Westling. Uppsatsen har sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i Vladimir Propps sagomorfologi och journalistikens dramaturgi. Nyhetsvärdering, partipress, kommersialisering och sensationsjournalistik är något som också diskuterats. Frågorna som ställts har varit hur materialets mängd, vinkel, textinnehåll och bildmotiv förändrats över tid, samt om det funnits skillnader tidningarna emellan.Uppsatsens undersökning är i grunden kvantitativ, men har ett övergripande kvalitativt perspektiv.

Author: Niklas JohanssonDirector: Olle DuhlinTitle: In policy and practice ? a study of how the cultural policy have effected the language of two cultural institutions.Background: The swedish cultural policy?s raison d?être is to safeguard all the inhabitants right to experience culture. Since 1997 the development in the field has resulted in an economisation and commersialisation were the culture more commonly is looked upon as a mean of reaching a higher rate of employment or financial growth. The concept of cultural planning and new public management are today part of the cultural pollicy debate which in its turn has effected the goals and ways to evaluate fulfillment.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show how the cultural policy in the swedish regions effect the language in the annual reports of the cultural institutions and how these documents have developed since 1997. This to further the knowledge of ho wchanges in the cultural policy effects the comunication of the cultural organisations.Method: This is a qulaitative study conducted in a inductivly.

This master?s thesis attends to a debate in the Swedish daily press concerning the public library which arose after the Swedish Moderate Party?s publication of their cultural political document Kulturen 2.0. This document contains a number of standpoints, of which three directly concern the public library: charges on book loans, libraries on contract and politically balanced purchase policy. In all, 28 articles are examined by means of an idea and ideological analysis. The purpose is to find out what is behind the conflicts surrounding attitudes about the public library's mission and activity in an era of needs for change.

The aim of this research is to examine the Göteborg International Film Festival Fund (GIFFF, 1998?2011) as a part of the festival's overall operations, to provide answers to questions about if/how the Fund can be understood as an expression of the festival's fundamental values, and how the Fund can be recognized within the festival's strategic development. The GIFFF is also discussed in relation to contemporary academic studies that interpret Western film funds for the developing countries ? such as Hubert Bals Fund and Fond Sud Cinéma ? as an expression of Eurocentrism.The investigation is based on the contemporary film festival research, previous academic studies on Göteborg International Film Festival, the festival?s printed material ? such as programs and press releases ? as well as interviews with the former festival director Gunnar Bergdahl, who initiated the Fund, and festival editor Ulf Sigvardson, who ran the Fund during its final years of existence.The conclusions are: The Fund's objectives ? such as to support filmmakers and film schools in the developing countries, and also to screen their films at the festival ? can be seen as a broader interpretation of the vision that was determined by the festival founders, that the festival should be a platform for independent filmmaking and also help screen the films that otherwise would not reach the Swedish audience. Also, the Fund was a significant part of the festival's expansion strategies during the 1990s.

This Masters Thesis is about the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs and the arms length principle. The principle is used to explain the separation of power between two parts with a common interest. The main purpose is to elucidate if, and if so in what way, the arms length principle can be used to explain the relation between the National Council for Cultural Affairs and the Ministry of Education and Culture, i.e. the Swedish government, but also to examine the structures of power and relations within the Council. In the thesis we show that in the field of cultural policy the content of the arm lengths principle varies due to the many interpretations of the meaning.

In this thesis, we have analyzed the Swedish debate about whether to impose a national canon, and make it compulsory in school curricula. Cecilia Wikström, a Liberal MP in Sweden, made the suggestion in July 2006, and the focus of our analysis is the subsequent debate during July and August 2006. Our materials are polemical articles from three Swedish newspapers, which we have examined to find the main ideas and arguments behind the various standpoints. Three issues have been our main focus; first, we have analyzed which concepts of culture the various debaters have used, where we have seen a difference between an anthropological and an aesthetical concept, but, surprisingly, found that there isn?t a very strong correlation between an aesthetical concept of culture and being pro-canon, or between an anthropological concept of culture and being anti-canon.

I Sverige är revisionsplikten lagstadgad för alla aktiebolag, oavsett storlek på företaget. Svenskt Näringsliv har föreslagit att revisionsplikten bör slopas i små och medelstora aktiebolag för att minska både kostnader och administrativt arbete för de mindre bolagen. Men hur ställer sig revisorerna till detta? Syftet med uppsatsen är att se vilka konsekvenser en slopad revisionsplikt får på företagens redovisning samt ta reda på om hypotesen om att revisorer vill ha en oförändrar revisionsplikt håller. Uppsatsen bygger på en deduktiv metod vilket innebär att utgångspunkten är befintlig teori i ämnet.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to study various views of sponsorship in relation to public libraries as found within three cultural policy documents. The main objective is to discover which ideas are considered relevant in the partnership between the Swedish retail chain, Åhléns, and the children?s public library, ?Room for Children? (Rum för Barn). In 2005, Åhléns provided SEK3.14 million in sponsorship to ?Room for Children? at Kulturhuset in Stockholm.

I denna uppsats studeras den semantiska utvecklingen hos ett antal ad-jektiv som betecknar sinnesstämningar. Syftet med arbetet är dels att undersöka vilka förändringar de enskilda adjektiven genomgått, och dels att ta reda på om några av de mest vedertagna teorierna om semantisk förändring på ett tillfredsställande sätt kan beskriva de observerade för-loppen.Den teori som huvudsakligen används är Gustaf Sterns klasser av se-mantisk förändring, såsom Sören Sjöström översätter och presenterar dem i Semantisk förändring. Hur ord får nya betydelser (2001). Jag ut-för dock även komponentanalyser på de utvalda orden för att studera om det kan vara en lämplig arbetsmetod.Sammanlagt åtta adjektiv har utvalts genom en process med det vikti-gaste slutliga urvalskriteriet att de ska ha genomgått en i jämförelse stor betydelseförändring. De undersökta orden är arg, belåten, ilsken, ledsen, lycklig, otrygg, rasande och slö.

Titel: Har storleken någon betydelse? Om drivkraften, roller och värdeskapande i en ideell förening Författare: Lina Holmqvist, Ulrika Maschmann, Sofia Wigström Handledare: Gustaf Kastberg, Cecilia Fredriksson Nyckelord: Marknadsföreningen i Helsingborg (MiH), föreningsmedlemmar, gränszon, roller, drivkraft, värdeskapande Problem: Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt i varför en ideell förening vill växa samt det värde som genereras för föreningsmedlemmar över att tillhöra en ideell förening. Vi problematiserar rollfördelningen att inneha en privat- respektive yrkesroll i en förening som MiH. Syfte: Vi vill studera vilket värde det genererar utifrån föreningsmedlemmarnas perspektiv att delta i föreningen samt drivkraften i att växa som förening. Syftet är även att identifiera möjligheter samt begränsningar med att medverka i en större ideell förening.

This critical examination of the concept of cultural heritage is based on an overall phenomenological approach, with focus on Alfred Schütz?s further development of Edmund Husserl?s idea of the lifeworld. With strong emphasis on the subjective and intersubjective dimensions, the concept of cultural heritage is contextualized, analysed and criticized from different aspects for the purpose of enriching the discourse of cultural heritage.A literature based methodology is used, including a hermeneutic analysis of theoretical texts in the field of cultural heritage studies and the new Swedish Culture Environmental Law (?Kulturmiljölagen?) and related bills. Qualitative interviews deal with people?s notions about the concepts of culture, cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage.

Kultursamverkansmodellen, en ny modell för statlig tilldelning av kulturmedel, infördes under 2011med fem regioner: Skåne, Halland, Västra Götaland, Gotland och Norrbotten. För att ingå isamverkansmodellen krävs att regionerna utarbetar en regional kulturplan vilken utgör underlag förstatens bidragsgivning. Mitt syfte med följande uppsats är att utifrån den franska filosofen MichelFoucaults arbeten om diskurs och makt synliggöra föreställningar om barn och barndom i ovannämnda regioners kulturplaner. Mitt kunskapsintresse rör hur föreställningar om barn och barndomuttrycks samt hur maktutövning och styrkeförhållandet mellan barn och vuxna speglas ikulturplanerna.Min utgångspunkt är att de regionala kulturplanerna som politiska dokument beskriver kollektivaföreställningar om barn och barndom. Utifrån studiens material kan jag konstatera attkulturplanerna uttrycker en komplex och mångtydig variation av diskurser om barn i relation tillestetiska verksamheter.

How do museums work with plurality in their organizations and in the production of exhibitions and other activities? This paper examines how civic museums, provincial museums and state museums work with plurality from a perspective of culture policies, particularly in relation to the government bill Tid för kultur, issued by the Swedish government in 2009.All together I examine 25 museums and their efforts to include marginalized groups in their activities and exhibitions. To do so I have studied four possible measures that are available for the museums. This includes the following: projects that pay attention to a marginalized group or their living conditions; projects that are specifically created for a marginalized group; projects that include a marginalized group in the museums preparations; and projects were museums give full responsibility to a marginalized group. I have also examined how plurality have been presented ? as isolated cultures and cultural expressions or as hybrids and interchangeable phenomenons ? and to what extent the museums are ready to involve marginalized groups in their physical environment and in their exhibition and activity programs.
