I detta arbete har vi undersökt hur terapeuter som behandlar våldsutsatta kvinnor beskriver sitt behandlingsarbete, sina förståelser av våld och sitt terapeutiska förhållningssätt, samt hur dessa förståelser och förhållningssätt förvaltas i deras terapeutiska praktik. Utgångspunkten har varit kritiska och feministiska perspektiv på psykologi och psykologisk praktik. Sex semi-strukturerade intervjuer ligger till grund för datainsamlingen. Data har analyserats med diskursivt färgad tematisk analys, vilket resulterade i temanaDen kritiska hållningen och Den kliniska hållningen. Vi tolkar det som att informanterna i sina utsagor under de två temana tillskriver feminism, genusvetenskap och maktstrukturer olika legitimitet som kunskapsfält.

This essay examines how witches are portrayed in American produced TV-series in the year 2000 and forward, what elements could have effected that portrayal in the series and also how this portrayal differs itself from witches within Wicca. The material used for this examination are the TV-series Charmed, The Vampire Diaries and Witches of East End and as comparing literature; Living Wicca, The Spiral Dance and Witchcraft Today. The methods used for this process are discourse analysis and content analysis. I used theories of Pierre Wiktorin about religion and popular culture. I used three themes (Characteristics, Practice and mode of thinking) for the processing of the material and to structure the result.

Vårt syfte med studien var att har varit att undersöka den rådande diskursen på sexsajtforum. Detta för att se vilka processer som pågår mellan och inom könen.Frågeställningarna var:? Vilka relationer och diskussioner framträder mellan kvinnorna?? Vilka relationer och diskussioner framträder mellan männen?? Vilka relationer och diskussioner framträder mellan männen och kvinnorna?? Vilken typ av maktförhållanden framträder när det gäller inom- och mellankönsliga diskussioner?Metoden vi använde oss av i vår undersökning, var att observera och samla information i vad som skrevs på ett allmänt diskussionsforum på sexsajten Sekreterarakademin. Vi har även använt oss av litteratur inom ämnet samt för att kunna bearbeta materialet med passande teorier, i detta fall feminism, maskuliniteter och homosocialitet.I vår undersökning kom vi fram till att det är en ständig maktkamp som pågår mellan de escorter och de män som befann sig på sajten. Escorterna som är prostituerade uttrycker med bestämdhet att de håller fast vid priser och ett rådande regelsystem vilket männen konstant utrycker nedlåtande åsikter om och försöker ändra.

This subject of interest in this paper is the ideas expressed and formulated in the making andinauguration of the Branting-monument at Norra Bantorget in Stockholm. The initiative for a monument honoring the late Social Democratic leader Hjalmar Brantingwas taken at the Swedish Social Democratic Party Congress in 1928. In 1935 the party board decided to give the task of designing the monument to the much renowned artist Carl Eldh. A national fund-raising campaign for the monument was also initiated. In1942 the model of the monument was completed, but because of the war it was stored in a shelter.

This essay is about gender equality in a Swedish upper secondary school. The aim is twofold: to obtain knowledge about feminism, gender equality, boys´ and girls´ situations in schools and gender equality work there; and to find out if government management documents for schools work effectively when it comes to promoting gender equality in schools. There are four research questions: How do teachers interpret what´s said in management documents for schools? What strategies do teachers use to promote gender equality? What opportunities and obstacles do teachers see for promoting gender equality at the specific school? And, finally, do the management documents for the school work effectively when it comes to promoting gender equality?The study has a socialist feminist perspective, which sees gender differences as a result of a mix of biological, historical and social factors. Important theoretical standpoints include gender socialization as an explanation for how girls and boys become women and men.The results of the study points out that teachers interpret management documents differently, and that they find the documents hard to understand.

The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze laws that completely prohibit abortion through a legal philosophical perspective. To demonstrate that abortion blanket bans cannot be seen as legally legitimate, the author has completed a literature study where she uses Robert Alexy?s ?Concept of Law? to analyze abortion laws both in general, and in Nicaragua in particular.Based upon Alexy?s ?Concept of Law? the author has identified three relevant key elements ? social efficacy, the argument from injustice and correctness of content - which she uses in her analysis. In order to apply these three elements on the total abortion ban, she then uses four different analysis tools - feminist theory, Human Rights, deontology analysis and right analysis. This has enabled a thorough analysis of the total ban on abortion that has demonstrates that such laws cannot be considered legitimate.By highlighting the human rights violations the law entails, one can conclude that the law has a social impact.

Birgitta Stenberg?s autobiographical novel Kärlek i Europa was published in 1981. It takes placein the fifties and is written in a genre popular in Sweden during the seventies, the feministconfession novel. The genre had a strong political purpose, by way of sharing experiences ofliving as a woman in a patriarchal society the aim was to raise consciousness of oppression andmake way for liberation and sisterhood. But there was not room for everyone in the feministstruggle.

The purpose of this thesis is to, based on interviews and document studies, critically discuss how the introduction of kickboxing in Physical Education (PE) could affect gender equality in society. Based on a queer feminist and norm critical perspective on the prevailing teaching of PE, which, despite official efforts to challenge and modernize PE, persists in reproducing gender norms by e.g. spending 75% of class time on ball games. The hypothesis is that girls accessing violence (empowerment) through a bodily awareness in the form of kickboxing, positively would challenge the power imbalance that gender norms create. Girls are brought up, even today, in accordance with gender norms arguing against girls/women wanting to use their bodies as powerful tools to set limits.

The purpose of this study has been to look into and analyze the view on sex equality in textbooks and teaching media, and teaching of a group of upper secondary school teachers, through a gender perspective. The teachers teach subjects within social- and political science. The two questions that I wanted to answer are: What views do the teachers have on sex equality in their teaching? What views do the teachers have on sex equality in the teaching media (textbooks and other teacher media) which they have access to? Since I wanted to look into the teachers own views I chose unstructured interviews as the method of gather empirical information. To interpret the transcribed texts I chose the hermeneutic view of people as intentional.

Särskilda undervisningsgrupper för elever med Aspergers syndrom har under 2000?talet vuxit fram både i grund- och gymnasieskolan, trots en nationell vision om en skola för alla. Detta framgår i Skolverkets rapport (2009)Skolan och Aspergers syndrom ? Erfarenheter från skolpersonal och forskare. Syftet med den här studien är att belysa hur ungdomar med diagnosen Aspergers syndrom beskriver sina skolerfarenheter utifrån villkor och möjligheter till lärande och utveckling samt belysa vilka generella och specifika pedagogiska implikationer som framträder ur ungdomarnas erfarenheter.Studien är en kvalitativ studie med en fenomenologisk utgångspunkt vilken studerar individers perspektiv på sin inre värld.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine children's communication and interaction during story time at the public library. The aim is also to examine how to develop the story time ? in terms of participation and equality ? at a specific library.Action research was used as a research strategy and participant observation, log, tutoring and interviews as methods to collect data. Since action research is done on the basis of practice, a significant collaboration with the librarian and the participant children is taking place within this study.Research from the fields of Library and Information Science, Education and Childhood Sociology form the interdisciplinary research area to which this study links. The theoretical framework consists of theory and concepts from the Socio-cultural Perspective, Poststrucuralist Feminism and Childhood Sociology.

The right wing party the Sweden Democrats is through their conservative and nationalist approach and socio-political heritage, connected to various extreme-right populist movements, which have all been in conflict with different branches of feminism. This connection is argued for in relation to the research survey. The party has likewise been accused of pursuing misogynistic, homophobic and racist politics, but differ from its ideological peers due to their outspoken equality policy. The party shows strong rejection of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation or geographical, religious or ethnical background. In the analysis chapter of this study, texts produced by members of the party are analyzed by means of parts of Karlberg and Mral?s rhetoric analysis method, aiming to clarify what ideals of family and the roles within it are being constructed.

I denna uppsats undersöks tre dagstidningars bruk av gammalstavning och nystavning efter 1906 års stavningsreform. Undersökningen sträcker sig från 1906 till 1926 och omfattar alltså en period på 20 år. De tidningar som ingår i undersökningen är Aftonbladet, Nya Dagligt Al- lehanda samt Social-Demokraten. Aftonbladet betraktades på denna tid som en liberal tidning. Nya Dagligt Allehanda hade en konservativ politisk hållning och Social-Demokraten var som namnet antyder en socialdemokratisk tidning med Hjalmar Branting som redaktör.Stavningsreformen 1906 rörde stavningen av v- respektive t-ljudet.

The Swedish alcohol market has for many years been in the hands of the government. The question of the monopoly, its being or not being, has for a long time engaged both Swedish citizens and politicians. Since joining the European Union it has also been on the European agenda, trying to adapt Sweden to the more liberal alcohol politic in Europe.The suppliers find themselves acting on a completely different market than a market based on free competition. The suppliers are faced with one retail channel to the stores which creates dependence and uneven power balance towards the retailer. In addition to this, their marketing activities are strictly limited due to the laws and claims.

I uppsatsen undersöker jag ur ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv, och med diskursanalys och dekonstruktion som metoder, heteronormativitet i skönlitterära bilderböcker. Analysen stödjer sig dels på Michel Foucaults samt Ernesto Laclaus och Chantal Mouffes diskursteorier, dels på Judith Butlers beskrivningar av samhällets heterosexuella matris och identitet som en performativ processuell konstruktion. Jag undersöker om och på vilka sätt heterosexualitet framställs som given sexuell identitet i de mest lånade bilderböckerna på Stockholms stadsbibliotek de senaste åren och i ett urval böcker som skildrar hur familjer får barn. Det innefattar granskning av såväl vilka relationer som representeras i böckerna som vilka subjektspositioner som böckerna erbjuder läsaren. Har läsaren möjlighet att identifiera sig med litterära figurer utan att först ta ställning till kön, undrar jag.
