In this essay I have studied the Swedish Working Class whose part of LO.Ideological texts in LO- Magazines is used to quote texts by collective orindividual terms. Method and theory material show high level of solidarity andequality while theory shows higher level of individualism and autonomy. Myresearch is closer to Boréus than Blocks. Politics taking under the 1980: s apowerful right turns holding a steady course through my material.The question in the essay is: What vision on the collective shows in theLO- Magazine in a time during individualization? Answer to this question is thatthe collective unofficially through LO: s: staff on central level tries to showstrength and unity with terms like solidarity and equality between the sexes.

The idea to this bachelor thesis was born after carefully following the coverage of Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media during their imprisonment in Ethiopia from June 2011 to September 2012. Based on our interest we designed two questions to answer throughout the thesis. These are:(1) How are Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye portrayed as journalists in the discussion about them that has taken place in Swedish media?(2) How is the journalistic profession described in the discussion about Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media? To answer these questions we decided to analyse texts that can be defined as the genre of opinion journalism, which all came from Swedish printed media. We have chosen 16 texts to analyse which show the variety of ways to write about Persson and Schibbye in the chosen genre during the chosen period of time. Opinion journalism is what newspapers use to attract readers, as they want to supplement the news coverage with comments and analysis from ?experts?. Persson and Schibbye were imprisoned in Ethiopia in June of 2011, and weren?t released until 15 months later, in September of 2012. To analyse our material we have amongst others used theories regarding social constructionism, representation, discourse, the journalistic identity and the journalistic ideals that exist in Swedish society.

In school, pupils learn to critically relate to sources of various texts. In the course of time they also learn how to make references and cite properly. Yet, alarming reports show increasing cheating and plagiarism in colleges and universities. Plagiarism prevention services are used today in Swedish high schools. We are questioning how this relates to the sociocultural perspective and curriculum view of imitation as a natural part of the learning process, communication and language.Material from depth interviews, with four teachers in the school subject Swedish about their theoretical and practical approach to students' writing process and writing development are used to deal with the issues of this thesis.

According to the curriculum the teachers have a responsibility to adjust the activities in the classroom in order to suit the pupils and to give them the means of assistance the pupils need to be successful in their learning. The teachers should also stimulate the interest to learn and support the pupils? self esteem. One of the problems a dyslectic pupil faces is an often weak self esteem. Another is the weak phonological awareness which makes it hard to fully understand the context and to recognize different phonemes when writing.

The aim of this thesis is a comparative study of Djuna Barnes' 1928 book Ladies Almanack and turn of the century sexological texts focusing on Havelock Ellis' studies of 'sexual inversion in women'. The study is based on queer theory concepts from Judith Butler and Fanny Ambjörnson as well as Michel Foucault's studies of the history of sexuality. After a presentation of the theoretical concepts and a short introduction of earlier research on Barnes' works my reading and conclusions are presented in five chapters focusing on different theoretical and thematic aspects of the studied texts. A recapitulation and discussion ends the thesis.In short, my conclusions are that Ladies Almanack contrary to earlier research can be read as a queer text, and a form of counter-discourse to the general one regarding lesbianism in the early 1900's. The text also reveals itself as a pointed critique and a satire of Havelock Ellis' writings on 'sexual inversion in women'.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att 1) undersöka och beskriva vad digitalt berättande är, 2) redogöra för hur det i allmänhet används idag, samt 3) utvärdera dess potential som pedagogiskt redskap i skolan. Vi har i vårt arbete utgått ifrån socio-kulturell teori. Via intervjuer med personer med erfarenhet av digitalt berättande från Helsingborg och Landskrona har vi undersökt hur digitalt berättande används där. Under namnet digitalt berättande verkar metoden inte användas i skolorna i Helsingborg och Lanskrona. Våra slutsatser är att digitalt berättande används på olika sätt på de två institutioner vi fokuserat på, Dunkers Kulturhus i Helsingborg och Folkets hus i Landskrona.

Syftet är att skapa en förståelse för hur förskollärare ser på det sociala mötets förutsättningar och  betydelse  i  förskolan.  En  kvalitativ  studie  har  gjorts  med  intervjuer  som  metod. Intervjuerna gjordes med förskollärare verksamma i förskolan med åldern 1-6 år. Resultatet i  studie  visar  på  förskollärares  liknande  uppfattningar  om  mötets  potentialer  och  den påverkan barngruppens storlek har på detta möte. Enligt förskollärarna påverkas mötet av antalet barn inskrivna på förskolan men det är ändå förskollärarnas förhållningssätts som är viktigast. De diskuterar samhällets  ingång i en multimodal era och att resultatet av detta visar på betydelsen i det dagliga mötet för barns  sociala  utveckling.

This is a study of predictions made by the press during the financial crisis in Asia in the autumn of 1997. The study includes a qualitative, quantitative and comparative analysis of the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Industri. In the last chapter a quantitative analysis of the newspaper Finanstidningen, that today no longer exists, has also been made for comparative reasons. A theoretical framework is also set in the study to explain how the predictions can affect the economy. The quantitative analysis shows that 2/3 of the texts in the traditional morning papers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet included predictions about the crisis from an Asian or global perspective, while only 1/3 of the texts in the financial newspapers Dagens Industri and Finanstidningen included such predictions.

AbstractIn the paper, democracy's development and change are studied in Swedish textbooks related to social science. The study?s starting point is that the picture of democracy provided to students has changed over time. The study aims to see how the view on democracy has altered in Swedish textbooks in social science. In order to examine this, I have studied seven textbooks, from 1945 to 2006, in social science.

The study is a qualitative textual analysis comparing how two newspapers fromSmåland reacted to Nazi Germany during the interwar period. The purpose of the studyis to illustrate how newspapers' political orientation may influence its content. Theexamined material is limited to letters to the editor, editorials and columns. The twopapers are of different political orientations, Smålänningen is bourgeois andKronobergaren is social democratic. The theoretical basis is founded in Klas Åmarksperspective on Sweden's position in the war, the so-called small state realistic paradigmand the moral perspective, as well all Kosellecks theory about the written word.

The purpose of this study is to examine modern constructions of Jane Austens work in films and in books on history of literature. The theoretical framework contains sociology of literature, cultural studies and film theory. I compared Jane Austens books Emma, Pride and prejudice and Sense and sensibility with three film versions from recent years. In the books on history of literature I studied, I found three different attitudes towards history of literature, which also influenced the interpretation of Austens novels. The stories in Austens books and in the films are similar.

Syftet med arbetet är en fördjupning i och undersökning av filmens potential som didaktisk redskap i gymnasieskolans svenskundervisning och i vilken utsträckning mediet används. Multimodal teoribildning har studerats och en extensiv litteraturgenomgång genomförts för att identifiera möjliga användningsområden för film. Kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare som är verksamma i svenskämnet i gymnasieskolan idag har utförts. Det huvudsakliga resultatet från studien belyser att lärare är positivt inställda till att använda film i sin undervisning och gör det till viss del, men att det behövs mer vägledning och struktur runt både konsumtion och produktion av film för att lärarna ska kunna nyttja dess fulla multimodala och didaktiska potential i klassrummet..

Analysen syftar till att studera hur Ikeakatalogens modelläsare konstrueras i förhållande till familjen som social praktik idag genom att studera hur diskursen har förändrats över tid. Nedan följer en diakron multimodal textanalys av fem svenska Ikeakataloger mellan 1973 och 2013. Analysen tar i första hand avstamp i ett sociolingvistiskt perspektiv med Hallidays systemisk-funktionella lingvistik, SFL, som grundverktyg men då analysunderlaget innehåller en stor del bilder finns även ett sociosemiotiskt perspektiv. Dessa inslag vilar på Kress och van Leeuwens applikation av SFL vad gäller tolkning av andra semiotiska artefakter än verbalt språk.Analysen visar att säljdiskursen har genomgått en betydande förändring under de senaste 40 åren. Sedan millennieskiftet marknadsförs inte längre inredning med argumenten kvalitet eller design.

This thesis explores how Muslim youths? lifeworlds are depicted and narrated in the following two studies on Muslim youth in Sweden and Denmark: Muslima (2007) and Samtidsislam (2010). The aim of this thesis is to answer the following question: In what ways do these works treat the aspects of the lifeworlds that are being highlighted in their studies of Muslim youth in contemporary Sweden and Denmark? An underlying aim is to analyse the results within the framework of theories of socialisation, cultural emancipation and rituals and traditions.With a hermeneutic approach I analyse the texts and operationalize the research question into four themes: the effects of socialization, cultural emancipation, rituals and traditions and secularization. The texts are treated in the analysis with textual analysis and hermeneutic method.

This essay focuses on strategies for acquisitions in Swedish publiclibraries. The topic has been occuring in the public debate off andon since the70s. The dominant view has been that librarians haveallowed demand direct the purchases of media and thus haveignored quality literature.This debate has caused me to reflect on the librarians constantdilemma when purchasing media. Are they supposed to chooseliterature that are in demand, or should an evaluation made bylibrarians be the decisive?The previous research has shown that the library profession istraditionally characterized by a non-judgmental approach.
