"Expropriation without compensation" : En kritisk diskursanalys av representationer i den folkfinansierade internetdokumentären Farmlands / ”Expropriation without compensation” : A critical discourse analysis of representations in the crowdfunded internet documentary Farmlands

Lilljedahl, Carl-Magnus, Borg, Oscar January 2019 (has links)
Den här studien analyserar Lauren Southerns dokumentärfilm Farmlands, som skildrar konflikten mellan vita och mörkhyade om äganderätten till mark i Sydafrika. Vi analyserar Farmlands utifrån dess språkliga och visuella representationer av den vita respektive mörkhyade befolkningen. Filmen är producerad med hjälp av folkfinansiering (crowdfunding) och distribuerad på Youtube. Syftet är att undersöka vilka diskursiva medel som används och vad dessa har för konsekvens för hur de två grupperna framställs. För att undersöka detta har fyra sekvenser ur filmen valts ut och analyserats med kritisk diskursanalys (CDA) med multimodala inslag som teori och metod. Utöver CDA används teorier gällande dokumentärfilmens logik och förhållande till sanning och verkligheten. Resultatet av analysen visar att Farmlands diskursivt driver ett tydligt vi och de-narrativ som framställer den vita gruppen i rollen som offer och den mörkhyade gruppen som förövare. Filmen erbjuder tittaren en empatisk och personlig relation till de vita individerna medan de mörkhyade diskursivt avpersonifieras och distanseras. / This study analyses Lauren Southern’s crowdfunded doumentary Farmlands, which depicts the ongoing land disputes between the black and white population of South Africa. The analysis focuses on the various representations of the white and black population in South Africa. The production of the documentary was made possible with the help of crowdfunding before it was published on Youtube. The purpose of this study is to identify which discoursive tools Southern utilizes and how those tools shape the representations of the white and black population of South Africa. In order to do this we selected four sequences from the documentary which we then analyzed using critical discourse analysis (CDA) with multimodal features as both the method and theory. In addition to CDA, we also used theories of documentary logic and the relationship documentary film has with the concept of truth and reality. The result of the analysis shows that Farmlands discoursively enforces a we and them narrative which paints the white population as the victims and the black population as the perpetrators. The documentary offers the viewer an emphatic personal relationship with the white individuals seen in the documentary, while the black people in the documentary are, through Southern’s use of discoursive tools, dehumanized and made difficult to relate to.

Att förhandla sanning : En kulturanalytisk studie av sanningsstriderna i klimatdebatten

Svanström, Emelie January 2020 (has links)
The essay To negotiate truth is a cultural analytical study of the boundary work that takes place in the comment sections, more specifically in relations to the climate change debate and Greta Thunberg’s climate activism. This paper deals with empirical material in the form of comments obtained from the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet’s and Expressen’s comment field on Facebook. The data-gathering method used for this paper is digital ethnography. This study aims to create an understanding of how argumentation is presented in open social arenas such as Expressen and Aftonbladet's comments field. The purpose of the study has been to show how the contested claims and facts are legitimized and negotiated in the comment fields. The theoretical framework has consisted of discourse theory and Boundary objects theory. The questions to be answered in the study is: In what way is truth constructed in the debate? How are the various claims of truth legitimized? In what way are facts and science used in the legitimization of the different claims of truths? The analysis shows that truth is constructed in many different ways, partly through what i choose to call denial and distrust discourse. The analysis also showed how climate research and the climate can be seen as a boundary object and be used to stabilize the denial discourse further. The result also showed that scientific evidence can be used in a variety of ways in the legitimization of the different claims of truth. On the one hand, there is a demand for more nuanced research to be presented in the media, this creates an image that there are two sides of climate science that are of equal importance. The analysis also showed how mistrust and doubt against established media, political processes and science in general can be used in the legitimization of various statements of truth. I also claim that Greta can be seen as a boundary object in the ongoing negotiation. The use of religious metaphors also proves to be of great importance in trying to undermine the climate issue and climate research in general.

Sanning och konsekvens : En studie av den estetiska intentionen hos tre verk av Felix Gmelin / Estetik i förhållande tillverklighet : Tre verk av Felix Gmelin, Hito Steyerl och Ann-Sofi Sidén

Hydén, Malin January 2009 (has links)
<p>You could say that the Swedish artist Felix Gmelin in his art uses media to get closer or further away from what we consider to be the reality and also truth. The purpose of this study is to discuss what this means for the intention of his art works. The starting point is my own aesthetic experience of his painting and the installations <em>A Gentleman’s agreement (1996), Farbtest, Die Rothe Fahne II (2003) and Tools and Grammar 2.5 (2007).</em> Each of these works of art consists of different kinds of prefabricated material such as articles, films and documents. These kinds of material are often considered to stand in the way of the aesthetic experience, maybe because they are supposed to be closer to reality and therefore to truth. The thesis of this study is that the truth in art is inscribed in the aesthetic framework of each art piece and also in the technical support it uses. If for example the support consists of an investigative journalist’s documentary research, in Rosalind Krauss’ description, the truth might be found in the authenticity of the documentary material. If the technical support has to do with sampling instead, as in the re-use of existing materials to create new works of art, the truth can probably not be found in the different pieces of material but in the work ofart in itself. It does not matter then if the different pieces of material it consists of is traditionally considered unaesthetic. The conclusion of this study is that Gmelin’s <em>Gentleman’s agreement</em>, <em>Farbtest, Die Rothe Fahne II</em> and <em>Tools and Grammar 2.5</em> actually discuss what truth is and if there is an aesthetic truth.</p> / Examensarbetet består dels av en vetenskaplig rapport (se Huvudtitel och Abstract), dels av en vetenskaplig artikel (se Alternativ titel).

Identitet, makt och matematiska begrepp i åtgärdsprogram : Diskursanalys av elevens behov och åtgärd i matematik

Martin, Sonesson, Sjöberg, Carin January 2015 (has links)
I vår studie intar vi en hermeneutisk ansats och genomför en textanalys. I vår studie tolkar, analyserar och kategoriserar vi innehållet i åtgärdsprogrammets behov och åtgärd. Utifrån diskurser konstruerar vi en ram som hjälper oss att tolka formuleringar i åtgärdsprogram. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur identitet, makt och matematiska begrepp synliggörs i åtgärdsprogram. I studien undersöker vi i vilken omfattning begreppen ovan förekommer i behov och åtgärder för årskurs 6 och 7. Vi utgår från ett diskursivt perspektiv mot makt och identitet. Vår studie visar att koppling mellan behov och åtgärd saknas i vissa åtgärdsprogram. Tillskriva identitet har den största andelen för åtgärder. Matematiska begrepp har störst andel för upptagna behov. Makt (makt genom kunskap och titel) har lägst förekomst i upprättade åtgärder. Det är varje skolas diskurs och dess skolpersonal som avgör på vilket sätt och i vilket forum som arbetet kring elevens behov fungerar. På samma sätt är den skillnad som existerar mellan olika upprättade åtgärdsprogram ett uttryck för den kultur eller diskurs som råder just nu, lokalt på skolan. Detta är avgörande om åtgärdsprogrammet används som ett fungerande verktyg. / In our study we take a hermeneutical approach and interpret text. In our study we interpret, analyse, and categorize the content of the IEP´s needs and arrangements. Based on discourses we construct a framework that helps us interpret phrasings in IEPs. The purpose of this study is to investigate how identity, power and mathematical concepts are made visible in the text of IEPs. In this study, we investigate to what extent the concepts above occur in the needs and arrangements for grades 6 and 7. We start from a discursive perspective on power and identity. Our study shows that the connection between needs and arrangements is missing in some IEPs. Attributing identity has the largest share of arrangements. Mathematical concepts have the greatest proportion of occupied needs. Power (power through knowledge and title) has the lowest occurrence of written arrangements. It is the discourse of every school and its school personal that decides in what direction and in what context the work toward the needs of the student. In the same way is the difference that exist between different IEPs an expressian in the culture that is dominant at schools. This is crusial if the IEPs is working as a functioning tool.

Alternativa fakta i 1300-talets krönikor : Olika perspektiv i senmedeltida historiografi på olyckan vid Clemens V:s kröning 1305 / Alternative facts in 14th century chronicles : Different perspectives in late medieval historiography on the accident at Pope Clement V's coronation in 1305

Wibacke, Elis January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the construction of a historical event in late medieval chronicles, in a way that increases our understanding of the mechanisms behind historiography. The analysis is based on how the coronation of Pope Clement V in 1305 and the accident which then took place, in which a wall crashed and killed a number of people, is depicted in a selection of 14th century chronicles, mainly from France. This event has been largely overlooked by previous research on Clement V and the Avignon Papacy, which has tended to emphasise its meaning as a bad omen for the pope. Through a close reading of the chronicles inspired by a comparative methodological approach and the theoretical framework of Suzanne Fleischman this thesis proves that the French chronicles do not give much actual support for the interpretation of the accident as a bad omen and that the event occurs in multiple versions, which can be explained by the chroniclers’ different attitudes towards the alliance between Pope Clement and King Philip the Fair of France. The different versions are dependent on the texts’ contrasting aims and uses of narratives and facts, and is ultimately defined by the communicative situation between writer and reader.

Naturligt farligt : Hur visualiseringar av klimatförändringar är laddade med tecken och känslor

Jägerskog, Mattias January 2010 (has links)
<p>The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between feelings and visualizations of climate change. A case study was done on visualizations of climate change from a web page concerning climate change published by the Swedish newspaper <em>Expressen </em>and from the American photographer Gary Braasch’s web page “World view of global warming”. The thesis is based on the article ”Emotional anchoring and objectification in the media reporting on climate change” by Birgitta Höijer. I have been aiming to understand the feelings of fear, hope, guilt, compassion and nostalgia through semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.</p><p>Previous research has proven the difficulties in bringing the issue of climate change up on the public agenda – which is connected to the difficulties of visualizing climate change. The nature of climate change being slow and hard to spot on an individual level has been highlighted as a cause of both of these difficulties. Pictures and photos have in this thesis been seen as the “interface” between science and the public – and hence <em>decoders</em> of the science of climate change. Höijer’s article about feelings has been used to understand this process of decoding.</p><p>The results show that the analyzed material could be linked to and described by the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol. The emotional anchoring found in the material and the semiotic application have been shown to work complementarily with each other, leading to a broader understanding of the material’s relationship to social cognitions. The results further demonstrated that context is essential in some of the analyzed visualizations of climate change. Generic pictures found in the material could have been regarded as icon, index or symbol of other messages – but is through its contexts anchored with feelings, and becomes visualizations of climate change. The analysis also suggests that if icons of nature could be connected with feelings – so could nature itself. The consequences are speculated to lead to objectification of nature and ecophobia. By objectifying nature and using generic pictures, the material’s relationship to the concepts of “truth” and “myth” is questioned.</p><p>In conclusion, understanding of the analyzed material is advantageously achieved through complementary use of Höijers emotional categories and the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.</p>
