This doctoral thesis centres on children of immigrant background, who live and go to school in a non-urban community. The emphasis is on their narrated experience of a sense of belonging in and out of school. The study is based on interviews with 13 children at two different schools in two small-sized municipalities, and aimed at identifying the factors in their narratives that impact on their sense of belonging as well as the related conditions and means of action. The interviews were conversational and most of the children were interviewed on three occasions.   Each result chapter analyses a specific dilemmatic space related to a sense of belonging, such as peer relationships, trips to the “home country”, and managing in school. In particular, the emotions related to the children’s narrative positionings are analysed as well as the narrative resources employed in their narration.   The results show that their sense of belonging is produced in the interplay between the conditions of immigration and the socio-cultural conditions in the small-sized community. The children describe extensive relational and emotional work to enter into comradeship. Dimensions of being like and unlike gain importance and involve clothing, height and colour of skin. Several of the children describe how they cope with ‘racifying’ and other excluding processes of ‘othering’ on a daily basis. Trips to the home country emerge as central events in their lives and it is clear that a sense of belonging is connected to place attachment and anchored in embodied sensory emotions. Managing school is important to all the children but is attributed different meanings in the pursuit of the long-term goal of employment.   In conclusion, the children’s experiences are discussed in terms of two interwoven and sometimes separate projects emerging in the children's narratives: the Swedishness project and the family project. / Vad innebär det att vara barn med migrationsbakgrund om man bor och går i skolan på en mindre ort? Vad och hur berättar barnen om sin vardag och sina sociala relationer i och utanför skolan? Om dessa frågor handlar den här avhandlingen och det specifika forskningsintresset är känsla av tillhörighet i och utanför skolan. Denna studie bygger på intervjuer med barn med migrationsbakgrund som bor och går i skolan på två mindre orter i Sverige. De har alla erfarenhet av att antingen de själva eller någon av deras föräldrar har brutit upp från det sammanhang där de tidigare levt. Barnen har därmed ofta erfarenhet av att tillhörighet blir något som utmanas. Resultaten visar hur känsla av tillhörighet formas i samspelet mellan migrationens villkor och villkor på den mindre orten. Barnen beskriver ett omfattande relationellt och emotionellt arbete i berättelser om kamratrelationer, resor till hemlandet och om att klara skolan.   Barnens erfarenheter kan ses som relaterade till två tydliga projekt: svenskhetsprojektet och familjeprojektet. Dessa projekt vävs samman i barnens berättelser och svenskhetsprojektet kan både vara och inte vara en viktig del i ett familjeprojekt.

A pesquisa discute estas características e seus impactos para os cronistas, através de depoimentos dos próprios autores de crônicas e da análise de críticos como Afrânio Coutinho, Gustavo Corção, Alceu Amoroso Lima, Jorge de Sá e Julio Cortázar. São apontados três caminhos, em relação à forma e ao conteúdo, escolhidos pelo cronista: o diálogo com o leitor, a presença da cidade como tema e o autor como personagem. Para analisar estes recursos narrativos, o trabalho recorre a textos teóricos e exemplos literários. Em relação à conversa com o leitor, referências da crítica sociológica e da estética da recepção. Sobre a cidade como tema, textos de Charles Baudelaire, João Luiz Lafetá, Sérgio Paulo Rouanet. Para o cronista que fala de si, reflexões de Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdier, Roland Barthes. Buscando representar e discutir o que representam estas escolhas,são referenciadas crônicas de Machado de Assis, José de Alencar, Olavo Bilac, João do Rio, Rachel de Queiroz, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Rubem Braga, Paulo Mendes Campos, Clarice Lispector, Nélson Rodrigues, Vinicius de Moraes, Fernando Sabino, Antônio Maria, José Carlos Oliveira, Stanislaw Ponte Preta, Otto Lara Resende, Carlos Heitor Cony, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Chico Buarque, Arnaldo Jabor, Arnaldo Bloch, Arthur Dapieve, José Miguel Wisnik, João Paulo Cuenca. Para efetuar esta análise, a pesquisa busca também compreender aspectos do desenvolvimento da crônica como gênero literário ao longo da história, discutir o papel da crônica no sentido de preservar a memória coletiva de um determinado grupo social e avaliar as relações entre literatura e jornalismo, apoiando-se em referências teóricas de Antonio Candido, Vanessa Pereira, Marlyse Meyer, Davi Arriguci Jr. e Wellington Pereira (sobre o desenvolvimento do gênero), de Maurice Halbwachs e Pierre Nora (sobre a memória) e de escritores e críticos como Candido e Barthes (sobre o relacionamento entre jornalismo e literatura). / The research develops an investigation about the conditions of the creative work of authors of literary chronicles for regular media and tries to identify the narrative resources used by the chroniclers to keep tosuch conditions as text size restriction, deadline pressure and a more direct relation with the readers. This study discusses these features and their impact on the chroniclers, through testimonials of chronicler authors and the analysis of critics such as Afrânio Coutinho, Gustavo Corção, Alceu Amoroso Lima, Jorge de Sá e Julio Cortázar. Three paths followed by the chroniclers related to the shape and content are pointed out: the dialogue with the reader, the presence of the city as the subject and the author as a character. To analyze these narrative resources, the dissertation draws on theoretical texts and literary examples. Those regarding the dialogue with the reader, use references to the sociological criticism and reader-response criticism. Those regarding the presence of the city as the subject, examine texts from Charles Baudelaire, João Luiz Lafetá, Sérgio Paulo Rouanet. And those in which the chroniclers write about themselves, reflect using thoughts from Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdier, Roland Barthes are presented. Seeking to represent and discuss what these choices mean the following authors and their chronicles are studied: Machado de Assis, José de Alencar, Olavo Bilac, João do Rio, Rachel de Queiroz, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Rubem Braga, Paulo Mendes Campos, Clarice Lispector, Nélson Rodrigues, Vinicius de Moraes, Fernando Sabino, Antônio Maria, José Carlos Oliveira, Stanislaw Ponte Preta, Otto Lara Resende, Carlos Heitor Cony, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Chico Buarque, Arnaldo Jabor, Arnaldo Bloch, Arthur Dapieve, José Miguel Wisnikand João Paulo Cuenca. To perform this analysis the research seeks also to understand the aspects of the development of the chronicle as a literary genre throughout its history, to discuss the role of the chronicle towards preserving the collective memory of a particular social group and to evaluate the relationship between literature and journalism, basing itself on theoretical references to Antonio Candido, Vanessa Pereira, Marlyse Meyer, DaviArriguciJr and Wellington Pereira (about the development of genre), Maurice Halbwachs and Pierre Nora (about the memory) and of writers and critics such as Candido and Barthes (about the relationship between journalism and literature).

Den här studien undersöker hur webbplatsen kan användas i syfte att förmedla en varumärkesidentitet hos företag inom kultursektorn. Fotografiska, en privat konsthall för samtida fotokonst, belägen i Stockholm, publicerar på sin webbplats texter om varje utställning som konsthallen arrangerar. Undersökningen utgår från antagandet att såväl den omgivande kontexten som innehållet i texterna bidrar till att skapa en varumärkesidentitet. Genom en multimodal och narrativ diskursanalys av webbplatsen och utställningstexterna analyserar jag hur denna identitet realiseras i samspelet mellan semiotiska och narrativa resurser och vilken bild den förmedlar av Fotografiska till betraktaren. Resultatet visar, enligt min tolkning, att Fotografiska använder webbplatsen i identitetsskapande syfte genom porträtteringen av fotokonsten och dess centrala aktörer som bärare av ett antal socioestetiska kärnvärden; minimalism, intellektualitet, exklusivitet, tradition och kunnighet. / This study examines how websites can be used for corporate branding purposes of institutions in the cultural field. It is based on my analytical findings on the website of Fotografiska, a gallery for contemporary fine art photography in central Stockholm. The thesis is based on the claim that both the surrounding context and the content of the exhibition texts plays a crucial role in the creation of a corporate brand for art galleries. Therefore my intention here is to show how Fotografiska all together use semiotic and narrative resources on their website in order to brand themselves. Supported by the findings from my sociosemiotic discourse analysis I argue that the extensive portraying of fine art photography and its key figures, maintains a few artistic core values that are characteristic for the branding of Fotografiska. Those are minimalism, intellectuality, exclusiveness, tradition and expertise.
