This paper explores the emic use of ?Internet trolls" and trolling behaviour in one specific Internet community. The findings are compared with, and put in relations to the conventional definition of Internet-trolls as individuals who deliberately, typically anonymously, antagonize other users of online common spaces.A forum dealing with matters of relationship issues in the Swedish online community Message Board of Familjeliv.se, was the subject of field-work that provided the basic empirical material for the research; three comparable threads on the subject of infidelity. These could all be said to contain suspected trolling, and such suspicions were also ascribed participants throughout the discussions. The analysis was undertaken mainly in terms of quality of narrative, performance and interaction.A comparative method and a genre analysis out of a holistic and functionalistic perspective is used to shed some light on how forum participants organize themselves and steer narratives towards desired outcomes.

In 1896, a French cinema pioneer named George Méliès demonstrated that an object could be set to motion by changing the objects shape or movement frame by frame. But it was not until the early 1900s that this specific genre of filmmaking became a great success. The animations were essentially short and were animated and published in The United States of America. The interest in animated movies began to increase, not only in the west, but also in Europe and Asia. The art of animation grew especially popular in Japan, and emerged as a parallel to Japanese comic books known more commonly as Manga.The history of Japanese animation is not as commonly known as the history of American animation.

The eyewitnessed reportage has a pronounced character of narrating. The imaginative power of the text helps the reader to empathise with the characters. That makes constructing empathy a necessary skill of reporters. But how can this be done?Despite a tradition of story telling among reporters, narratologists virtually have neglected the reportage genre.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att genom en genusvetenskaplig och socialkonstruktivistisk ansats undersöka hur kvinnor framställs i de svenska hårdrocksmagasinen Close-Up Magazine och Sweden Rock Magazine. Då majoriteten av den genusrelaterade medieforskningen har intresserat sig för reklam- och modebilder finns en kunskapslucka kring hur kvinnor framställs i bilder inom genrer vid sidan av dessa.Denna studie avsåg att genom semiotisk textanalys undersöka bilder i dessa magasin, för att identifiera de kvinnliga stereotyperna i dem och sedan jämföra dessa med etablerade stereotyper som tidigare forskning påvisat. Sammanlagt analyserades 28 bilder i 15 magasin från 2013 utifrån feministisk blickteori och Goffmans teori om könsframställning.Tre tydliga kvinnliga stereotyper framträdde i resultatet. Dessa benämnde vi som Den hårda, Den medkännande och Den objektifierade. De två sistnämnda är väl kända sedan innan inom forskningssammanhang medan Den hårda kvinnan, som bland annat uppvisar tecken på aggressivitet, avsky och överlägsenhet, inte påträffats i liknande studier innan.

Uppsatsen behandlar hur skivbolagen väljer att marknadsföra begåvningar/egenskaper hos en artist. Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ studie där sex mindre fallstudier inkluderades. De sex artister/grupper som studerats innefattade valen av marknadsföring vid lanseringen, begåvning samt varumärkesbyggande. I undersökningen har alla använt sig efter det som kallas ett planerat angreppssätt, vilket går ut på att ha en strategisk plan på hur de skall marknadsföra artisterna/grupperna för att uppnå störst möjlig effekt. För att påverka konsumenterna väljer skivbolagen att sammansätta marknadsföringsinsatserna efter benämningen i referensramen, marknadsföringsmaskinen.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the academic discipline translation studies; the analysis centers upon bibliometric aspects, and is carried out chiefly by means of quantitative methods, enabled by the databases Web of Science and Scopus as well as by the corpus-linguistic software Wordsmith; however, this quantitative focus is complemented by auxiliary qualitative means of investigation, i.e. a discourse-analytically oriented study of a corpus of domain-endemic reviews.A number of core journals are analyzed in order to show what and whom are cited in translation studies, and, furthermore, what adjacent domains hold sway over it; attention is also given to influential authors, regions and languages operating within the domain. It is shown that the domain under scrutiny is quite differentiated, even fragmentary; the term pluricentric is used to describe this tendency towards sprawling. No superior authors (in terms of publication frequency) emerge, which arouses the suspicion that the domain may be conditioned by a hierarchical divide between journals and monographs. Furthermore, it is clear that translation studies is a eurocentric domain: European languages dominate.

This essay is an examination of the examples in Kant?s Critique of Judgement. The examples which I have focused on all converge in an idea of wildness. These examples of the beautiful are illuminated by a culture-historical perspective, where the literary and scientific travelogue genre is of great importance. Apart from being exegetic and culture historical, my method is also analytic.

Tidningens personporträtt är en journalistisk genre som skiljer sig från konventionell nyhetsjournalistik genom en artig och hyllande, snarare än kritisk och granskande karaktär. I den här uppsatsen har jag för avsikt att undersöka hur personporträtt i två svenska tidningars söndagsbilagor, Dagens Nyheters ?DN söndag? och Aftonbladets ?Söndag? konstrueras. I uppsatsen studeras 8 personporträtt utifrån frågeställningen: vad i de valda personporträttens livsbeskrivningar väljer journalisten att se och hur beskrivs det? Syftet är att placera frågeställningen i en sociologiteoretisk kontext av moderniteten som tillstånd och media som viktig social kunskapskälla och förmedlare av erfarenhet.

Marknadsföring kan te sig på flera olika vis, beroende på metod eller tillvägagångssätt. De olika marknadsföringsmetoderna har olika genomslagskraft, oberoende om de är konventionella eller okonventionella. Marknadsföringen har under en längre tid dominerats av ett traditionellt synsätt, marknadsmixen och de 4P:na. Detta synsätt har kommit att bli kritiserat och många aktiva inom fältet har hävdat att ett paradigmskifte har skett. Marknadsföringen har utvecklats till att inrikta sig mot relationsbyggande och andra alternativa metoder.

Uppsatsen syftar till en underso?kning av Moa Martinsons framsta?llning av ma?nnen i serien om MiaStenman som kan o?ppna upp en ny tolkning. Genom ett genusperspektiv har jag tittat pa? strukturen i hur ma?nnens utseende och personlighet portra?tteras och hur detta pa?verkar Mia. Sedan har jag skildrat Martinsons politiska liv och behandlat delar av hennes relationer fo?r att uppna? en ba?ttre tolkning.Analysen av ett urval av ma?n i hela serien, mestadels hennes styvfader, da? han a?r den som figurerar mest hela serien igenom, visar pa? hur olika de framsta?lls.

When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently gone through a change management/strategy implementation process.The research reviewed in this paper originates in two different worlds. One world is a research world where stories come from textbooks and articles.

My essay is about the latter period of Anne Charlotte Leffler?s authorship. In Part I of my essay, I describe her path from the 1880s, where she described femininity as a shortcoming, as writes Ingeborg Nordin-Hennel, towards the 1890s and towards describing femininity as a possibility. This development took place on two levels ? on an outer level, where all the woman writers in the late 1880s were influenced and where they were pushed out by the male writers, and on an inner level with Leffler herself.Her late literary works depict new and more independent types of women, and eroticism is given a more prominent position.

Title: "Oh how brightly May-sun shines?". I have chosen to write about culture differences in music. My purpose with this study is to unite two music cultures into one piece of art. Through my story and film you can see my attempt to teach a men's choir two songs in ten rehearsals.

The purpose of this essay, entitled ?Heja Sverige! Heia Norge?, was to study the difference in nationalistic tendencies between Swedish and Norwegian news coverage of the 2015 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun, Sweden, which took place between 18 February and 1 March 2015. It was the fourth time the event took place in Falun, previous games having been held in 1954, 1974 and 1993.I performed a critical discourse analysis of a total of twelve articles split over two race days ? one where Swedish athletes outperformed Norwegian athletes and vice versa. I did this order to study if the news coverage in each of the two countries? most promininent sports papers; Sportbladet in Sweden and VG Sport in Norway, was charaterized by a nationalistic discourse, as well as comparing the two to find similarities and differences between them.Having based my analysis on theories and previous research regarding media events, nationalism, national identities, ?us and them?, imagined communities et cetera, I came to the conclusion that a nationalistic discourse is, without a doubt, present in the news coverage ? something very unique for sports journalism as a genre.
