<p>Syftet med vår rapport har varit att få ta del av rektorernas tankar kring ämnet svenska som andraspråk. I Lpo94 kan vi ta del av hur skolan ska vara likvärdig var i landet den än anordnas men vår uppfattning var att ramarna för svenska som andraspråk kunde skilja sig åt. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod och vårt undersökningsinstrument var en kvalitativ intervju. Fem rektorer som är verksamma inom samma kommun i södra Sverige har deltagit i vår undersökning. Vårt resultat visar att det råder viss okunskap kring ämnet svenska som andraspråk och även respondenterna menar att det borde lyftas fram mer på skolorna. Faktorer som skolans tradition och antal elever med utländsk bakgrund har visat sig ha stor påverkan på hur undervisningen organiseras och bedrivs i svenska som andraspråk. Vi fann att eleverna faktiskt möter olika förutsättningar beroende på vilken skola de går på.</p>

This dissertation presents a diplomatic edition of a journal and notebook kept by the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer (1931-2015) during 1952 when he composed most of the poems in his debut collection, 17 dikter (17 Poems, 1954). That debut began a career that saw him become the most internationally renowned Swedish writer besides Swedenborg and Strindberg (Espmark in Schiöler 14), and “one of the most translated poets of the post-war period, probably the most translated” (14), and culminated, in 2011, with his winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. Lightly edited type facsimiles of the journal and notebook, including his marks of revision, illustrated with reproductions of the poet’s sketches from the documents, and accompanied by en face English translations provide unprecedented insight into his composing process at the time when he was finding his poetic voice. These are in turn followed by an extensive section of commentary identifying literary allusions and echoes in the documents and analyzing his composition and revision process. Also included are metrical translations of the three long poems in blank verse that conclude 17 dikter two of which have not previously been translated in this manner. There are at present no scholarly editions of any of Tranströmer’s published or private works, so this edition represents a major contribution to studies of his poetry, and more broadly to a study of Swedish poetry at mid-century.

No / The Swedish-language media landscape in Finland is exceptionally rich. It forms one of the institutions that underpin the cultural position of the Swedish-speaking Finns and the use of Swedish in Finland. This example has yet, however, been given only little attention in sociolinguistic research. Based on secondary data of mass-media audience research, this article analyzes the situation of Swedish media in Finland with regard to production and reception in relation to ethnolinguistic vitality and offers conceptual tools for linking the analysis of media consumption to sociolinguistic concepts. The nine daily newspapers, two radio stations, and Swedish-language television channel put at the service of this relatively small population provides an ideal test case for how extensive media supply interacts with linguistic vitality. The role of minority media has been rapidly and significantly changing over the past decades due to the fragmentation of media spaces and diversification of media reception. With the complexity of hybrid identities, factors such as age, gender, class, and regional and language identities are taking on increasing importance. In this new media environment, the viability and relevance of Swedish-language media will be determined by the degree to which the presence of Swedish language is a criterial attribute of the identity of the Swedish-speaking Finns.
