"Man får ju en väldigt skruvad syn på sex" : En tematisk analys på mediala skildringar av cismäns och hbtqi-personers erfarenheter av att ha sex mot ersättning / “You get a very twisted view on sex” : A thematic analysis based on media depictions of cisgender men and lgbtiq-peoples experiences of having sex for compensationAndlin, Elsa, Axelsson, Victoria January 2021 (has links)
I denna studie har cismäns och hbtqi-personers, särskilt transpersoners, perspektiv varit huvudfokus i undersökandet av teman i mediala skildringar av deras erfarenheter kring att ha sex mot ersättning. Anledningen till detta specifika fokus grundas i en brist på forskning kring dessa personers erfarenheter samt att det i undersökningar framkommit att dessa personer är vanligt förekommande bland folk som har sex mot ersättning. Målet med studien är att försöka fylla kunskapsluckan och belysa ämnet. Berättelserna är inhämtade från olika medier samt från organisationer för hbtqi-personer som har erfarenhet av sex mot ersättning och är därmed i form av sekundärdata. En tematisk analys har genomförts där temana Unga säljer våldsamt sex till äldre män, Startskottet är ett övergrepp eller längtan efter kärlek och närhet, Sex mot ersättning som självskada, “Man får ju en väldigt skruvad syn på sex” och Det finns inget rum att prata om det alls har identifierats, vilka diskuteras utifrån socialkonstruktionism, intersektionalitet samt den sparsamma tidigare forskningen kring ämnet. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet att maktstrukturer och tolkningsföreträde är viktigt för förståelsen av dessa specifika erfarenheter samt att det nuvarande myndighetsstödet är bristfälligt. / The perspective of cismen and lgbtiq-people, in particular trans people, has been the main focus in this study when investigating the themes in media depictions of their experiences of having sex for compensation. The reason for this particular focus is the lack of research regarding these people’s experiences and that surveys show that they are common within the population of people who have had sex for compensation. The aim is to fill in the existing gaps of knowledge as well as to shine a light on this topic. The stories have been collected from different media outlets as well as organizations for lgbtiq-people who have had sex for compensation and is therefore in the form of secondary data. A thematic analysis has been conducted, where the themes Young people sell violent sex to older men, Abuse or longing for love and closeness are the starting points, Sex for compensation as self-harm, “You get a very twisted view on sex” and There’s no room to talk about it at all have been identified, which are discussed in relation to social constructionism, intersectionality and the sparse previous research regarding this topic. In conclusion, the results show that power structures and interpretative prerogative are important in understanding these particular experiences and that the current support from authorities is deficient.

The Norms in the Body: Power structures and their Transgression through Arts-based researchKraler, Esther January 2019 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to explore the entanglement of various power axes with the body through 'body mapping' and to look into how the implementation of the method enriches research processes. 'Body mapping' is an arts-based method which places the body in the center of social inquiry. This allows the body to be explored as a central site where social identity is negotiated, while being engaged in this exploration. This orientation might allow insights into how embodied power relations affect people’s lives and how 'body mapping' can contribute to this exploration through raising consciousness and bringing forward personal embodied knowledges. 'Body mapping' will thus ideally allow participants to see themselves through a different angle and thereby engage with questions of how normative ideas in relation to identity are shaping their experiences and feelings of non/belonging in Swedish society. This might initiate newly informed understandings in participants’ lives regarding critical consciousness on their positionality and foster participants’ connection to their bodies as sources of knowledge.

Hur platt är platt? : En kvalitativ studie om icke-hierarkiska organisationer / How flat is flat? : A qualitative study of non-hierarchal organizationsLundström Wittenfelt, Emma, Stedt, Lotten January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att förstå hur fenomenet platthet fungerar och upplevs i organisationer samt att få en ökad förståelse för självorganisering och formella och informella strukturer i icke-hierarkiska organisationer. En experimentell fenomenologisk studie gjordes på svenska platta organisationer med kriteriet få eller inga mellannivåer av chefer. Metoden som användes var en metodkombination där gruppintervjuer och djupintervjuer kombinerades. Totalt intervjuades åtta antal personer på företagen där en semistrukturerad intervjuguide användes som baserades på Jo Freemans essä The Tyranny of structurelessness från 1970. Det empiriska materialet kategoriserades senare genom en tematisk innehållsanalys och analyserades genom tre ansatser för att kunna identifiera och beskriva hur företagen var platta. Resultatet och analysen visade att de två företagen kunde anses vara platta på olika sätt. Andra fynd var att konceptet platt är komplext där olika faktorer samspelar med varandra. Vidare forskning bör fokusera på om det är organisationen som initierar platthet eller om rätt individer väljs in i en organisation och gör den platt. Vidare forskning kan också fokusera på intersektionalitet och hur identitet och makt samspelar i en platt organisation för att främja demokratisk deltagarmakt. / The purpose of this study is to understand how the phenomenon of flatness works and is experienced in organizations and to gain an increased understanding of self-organization and formal and informal structures in non-hierarchical organizations. An experimental phenomenological study was conducted on two flat organizations in Sweden with the criterion of few or no middle levels of managers. The method used was a method combination where group interviews and in-depth interviews were combined. A total of eight people were interviewed at the companies where a semi-structured interview guide based on Jo Freeman's essay The Tyranny of structurelessness from 1970 were used. The empirical material was later categorized through a thematic content analysis and analyzed through three approaches to be able to identify and describe how the companies were flat. The result and the analysis showed that the two companies could be considered flat in different ways. Other findings were that the concept flat is complex where different factors interact with each other. Further research should focus on whether it is the organization that initiates flatness or whether the right individuals are selected into an organization and make it flat. Further research can also focus on intersectionality and how identity and power interact in a flat organization to promote democratic participation.

Fighting Tyranny in Fantastic Literature for Children and Young AdultsKokorski, Karin 10 June 2020 (has links)
The focus of fighting tyranny and the justifications of the consecutive wars in fantasy literature for children and young adults play a noteworthy role in the intertwinement of literature and its educational potential. This genre is filled with numerous images of violence, in particular different scenarios of war and its justifications. In the books war constitutes the final battle between good and evil, and thus manifests the protagonists’ ultimate moral decisions between these two forces. The following books constitute the corpus: C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia (1950-56), Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising Sequence (1965-77), Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000), J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (1997-2007), Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle (2002-11), Amanda Hemingway’s Sangreal Trilogy (2005-07), and P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast’s House of Night novels (2007-2014). Although not all the books feature wars, all display justifications for war and the imperative to fight tyranny. Located within an intersection of diverse critical theories, my thesis engages literary texts in order to reflect on their capacity to negotiate, challenge, subvert, and perpetuate values and power structures. Motif analysis forms the centre of this analysis. I deploy a varied approach to literary analysis, relying upon literary and cultural theories (especially theories of ideology) to understand the realizations of the different motifs. Through issues of character construction, (political) authority, religion, and the construction of difference, the reader learns much about the culture and values of the respective world. Furthermore, this analysis invites the reader to find parallels between the fabricated world and the real world, and thus transfer what s/he has learned from the texts his/her own world. Engaging in such a reading ensures the drawing of direct connections between the reality constructed in the books on the one hand, and politics, the construction of difference, religion, and just war theory in the reader’s world on the other. The content analysis leads to broader cultural messages, which comprise assumptions about gender, power, ethnicity, religion, and morality. This methodology emphasizes the relevance as well as the complexity of the books and their educative potential, and facilitates the analysis of the books as tools for the defence and perpetuation of Western values and culture.

Arns makt : Representationer av makt, positivt kapital och livsmål i berättelserna om tempelriddaren Arn / The Power of Arn : Representations of Power, Positive Capital and Aims in Life in the Narratives about Arn the Knight TemplarSärnbrink, My January 2011 (has links)
Uppsatsen behandlar böckerna och filmerna om Arn och undersöker genom berättelserna vilka representationer av makt, positivt kapital och livsmål som gestaltas. Uppsatsen baseras på den teoretiska tanken att populärkultur innehåller representationer med budskap, värderingar, normer och föreställningar gällande vår verklighet och därigenom påverkar vår uppfattning om världen, vår plats i samhället, vår identitet och vår uppfattning om vad som är värdefullt, viktigt och sant. / My Särnbrink hette tidigare My Ravin.
