The news framing of the ‘Syria Fighters’in Sweden : A frame analysis of Swedish Newspapers / Nyheternas inramning av ‘Syria fighters’ i Sverige : En ramanalys av svenska nyhetstidningar

Johansson, Viktor January 2017 (has links)
This study examines the framing of Syria fighters in Swedish newspapers during selected time periods of 2016 and 2017. Syria Fighters refer to individuals who travel to Syria to join the ongoing conflict, an occurrence commonly known as Foreign Fighters. Using framing analysis and framing theory the study finds that Syria fighters and their actions are framed mainly as problematic and as a negative social phenomenon. The study also makes a comparison to similar, previous research of Dutch and Flemish newspapers and finds clear similarities as well as differences.

Evolution des traditions culturelles dans la vallée du moyen Euphrate de la fin du Bronze Ancien au début du Bronze Moyen / Evolution of cultural traditions from the late Early Bronze Age to early Middle Bronze Age in the Middle Euphrates Valley

Colonna d'Istria, Laurent 12 December 2009 (has links)
La vallée du moyen Euphrate, trait d’union entre la Mésopotamie du sud et la Syrie occidentale, est, durant la fin du la fin du IIIème millénaire et le début du IIème millénaire, gouverné par un šakkanakku installé à Mari (Tell Hariri, Syrie). Cette époque ainsi nommée « époque des šakkanakku » est, depuis deux décennies, étudiée avec un intérêt grandissant, en raison des découvertes archéologiques datant de cette époque. Une vue d’ensemble des données archéologiques et historiques de vallée du moyen Euphrate durant l’époque des šakkanakku suggèrent que le royaume de Mari, durant cette époque, s’est affirmé comme une puissance indépendante et prospère jusqu’au 19ème siècle (fin de l’époque des šakkanakku) où les données sont moins explicites sur le plan historique. Grâce à de nouvelles données textuelles provenant de Mari, mais également de Terqa (au nord de Mari) dont la majorité date de la fin de l’époque des šakkanakku, on a pu mettre en évidence des permanences et des ruptures entre la fin de l’époque des šakkanakku et l’époque suivante (époque « amorrite ») dans plusieurs domaines comme la langue, la « tradition scribale » ou encore dans la tradition juridique. Du point de vue dialectal, les textes du 19ème siècle montrent que la tradition linguistique est fortement ancrée dans l’univers syrien. Après l’avènement de l’amorrite Yahdun-Lim qui mit fin à l’époque des šakkanakku, la composante syrienne demeure présente, mais elle reste moins importante en raison d’une réforme de l’écriture modélisée sur la pratique sud mésopotamienne (Iraq actuelle), certainement due à la prépondérance politique d’Ešnunna durant l’extrême fin du 19ème siècle. Enfin, cette nouvelle documentation a également permis d’aborder des questions plus historiques notamment l’interaction des derniers šakkanakku de Mari avec des condottieres amorrites dont le père de Yahdun-Lim durant le 19ème siècle. / The valley of the Middle Euphrates, hyphen between South Mesopotamia and Western Syria, was ruled by a šakkanakku lived in Mari (Tell Hariri, Syria) during the end of the third millennium and early second millennium. This time period named "šakkanakku-period" is particularly studied since twenty years An overview of archaeological and historical data from the Middle Euphrates valley during the time of šakkanakku suggest that the kingdom of Mari during that time has established itself as a power independent and prosperous until the 19th century (end of the time of šakkanakku) where data are less explicit historically. The new text data from Mari, and Terqa (north of Mari), of the most dated from the end of šakkanakku-period, shows continuance and ruptures between the end of šakkanakku-period and the next period ("Amorite-period"). This continuance and ruptures are examined in several areas such as language, "scribal tradition" or in the legal tradition. The dialect of this text (19th century) shows that linguistic tradition is deeply rooted in the universe Syria. After the advent of the Amorite Yahdun-Lim who ended the time of the šakkanakku the Syrian characteristics in the dialect remains present, but it is less important because a reform of writing modeled on southern Mesopotamia (Iraq current), probably due to the preponderance of political Ešnunna during the end of the 19th century. Finally, this new text has also allowed dealing the historical interaction of the last šakkanakku Mari with condottieri Amorite whose father Yahdun-Lim in the 19th century.

Transcending the Darbuka

Oro, George January 2017 (has links)
Doholla or Darbuka is a traditional Arab percussion instrument with a specific restricted secondary role. My project aims to challenge this role and expand the possibilities and horizons of this instrument by using it as a solo instrument breaking the norms and expectations ruling the instrument. My research focuses on answering the following question: can I present this instrument as a solo or main instrument? I used different methods to experiment with the instrument, including but not limited to, exploring sounds on parts of the instrument’s body that were not used before to create new sounds, or switching the classical loop role of the instrument with a new more varied one. In addition to using techniques that are from different cultures and others that are specific to other percussion instruments in general. As a result, I came to find a wide collection of new sounds that can be used in different contexts, which can be utilized in composing vibrant compositions. I was also able to compose and perform solo compositions with doholla/ darbuka that are written specifically to present the instrument’s richness as well as compositions where doholla had the main changing part while another melodic instrument was providing the background loop role. And finally I managed to prove that this instrument could exist successfully outside its traditionally known boundaries. / <p>George Oro: Darboka, Doholla</p><p>Jiro Kevork: Drums</p><p>Liliana Zavala: Conga</p><p>Mårten Hillbom: Drums</p><p>Composition 6; Composition 9; Dueto; Longa Nahawand; Solo; Trio; ss;Two Darboka</p>

Chanter l'extase : approche psycho-cognitive de la musique dans les rituels de transe soufis / Singing the ecstasy : a cognitive psychological approach to music in Sufi transe rituals

Pavard, Amélie 20 March 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse propose d’étudier le rôle de la musique dans des contextes émotionnels intenses. Dans les rituels d’invocation de Dieu, les soufis tentent d’accéder à un état spirituel supérieur en s’approchant de la connaissance immanente du monde divin. La confrérie šaḏiliyya place la musique au cœur de ce processus : l’écoute de poèmes d’amour mystique chantés, puis la production collective de gestes dansés porte l’émotion à son paroxysme, en une extase contemplative (wajd). Entre ethnomusicologie et psychologie cognitive, cette thèse présente des pistes de réflexion pour l’étude des musiques vocales de tradition orale et leur expressivité. Dans un premier temps, une étude ethnographique dépeint le quotidien d’une confrérie damascène, pour tenter de déterminer les éléments musicaux pouvant être source d’émotion. Après une exposition des théories psychologiques cognitives de l’émotion, une analyse musicale acoustique s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux stratégies de deux interprètes. / The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate the role of music in intense emotional contexts. In Sufi invocation rituals, believers try to reach to a superior spiritual state in their quest for divine knowledge. The šaḏiliyya brotherhood includes music at the core of this process : by listening to mystic love songs followed by collective dancing, emotion reaches its paroxysm in an ecstatic contemplation (wajd). This dissertation lies in between the fields of ethnomusicology and cognitive psychology. It introduces several lines of thinking concerning the study of vocal music belonging to the oral tradition and its expressivity. First, a description of a Damascene brotherhood doctrine will highlight emotional elements in rituals. Then, following a presentation of major theories of emotions in cognitive psychology, two interpretations of the same work will be compared using acoustic and prosodic methods of analysis.

Úloha OSN při řešení syrského problému / The role of the UN in solving the Syrian problem

Pejchal, Vladislav January 2013 (has links)
This thesis deals with the Syrian conflict. The Syrian conflict has continued for over three years (April 2014) and still constitutes a topical and developing affair. It represents a pressing and unresolved national and international issue. There is a vast amount of groups with different ideas involved in this conflict. During the conflict, conventional, as well as chemical weapons were used. The consequences of the fighting are mostly faced by local inhabitants who have been severely suffering due to the harsh living and humanitarian conditions. The aim of this thesis is to depict the problems of the Syrian conflict, evaluate the role the UN has had up to the present, and answer the question whether the UN has totally failed in solving the Syrian conflict, or not.

Economie touristique et capital social : une étude de l'offre dans la région côtière syrienne / Tourism economy and social capital : a study of the offer in the Syrian coastal region

Halloum, Sinan 12 February 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse propose une analyse multidimensionnelle de l'effet du capital social sur la dynamique de secteur touristique à l'échelle territoriale. L'objectif de ce travail est d'interroger la capacité des acteurs locaux à mobiliser leurs stocks de capital social dans une dynamique du développement de l'offre touristique basée sur les ressources territoriales. Pour cela nous utilisons le cadre théorique de la théorie du capital social ainsi que les acquis de l'économie territoriale, dans le but d'éclairer de nouvelles perspectives concernant le potentiel du développement touristique basé sur les ressources du territoire. Ce cadre est appliqué à la compréhension des liens entre le capital social et l'offre touristique destinée à accueillir les touristes locaux au sein d'une station balnéaire de la région côtière syrienne. Le secteur touristique syrien s'est beaucoup développé au cours des années 2000. Ainsi on a compté près de 10 millions de touristes en 2010. Mais depuis 2011, le tourisme international en Syrie est à l'arrêt, cependant cela n'empêche pas la poursuite de la réalisation des projets touristiques ayant commencé avant ou même pendant la crise. Ce paradoxe montre que le secteur touristique n'est pas absolument condamné à l'échec, au moins dans certaines régions du pays dont la région côtière. Les pertes que subit le secteur touristique syrien actuellement prouvent que compter de manière excessive sur le tourisme international est un pari difficile dans une région aussi troublée que le Moyen Orient. Alors les efforts et les stratégies du développement touristique devraient se tourner plus vers l'encouragement du tourisme local et des loisirs de proximité. Après une crise aussi terrible, il est normal que les ressources soient mobilisées dans les efforts de reconstruction et de restauration du fonctionnement des secteurs comme la santé ou l'éducation. La restauration de la vie économique dans des secteurs créateurs de richesse comme l'industrie et l'agriculture devrait avoir la priorité dans les choix d'utilisation du capital financier, d'où la nécessité pour le secteur touristique de chercher à révéler et à valoriser toutes les ressources possibles pour venir alimenter la dynamique du secteur touristique. Parmi les ressources potentielles, l'importance du capital social est à souligner. De nombreuses études ont révélé une implication multiforme du capital social dans la dynamique du secteur touristique. Le rôle du capital social est d'autant plus perceptible dans le contexte de petits projets touristiques tels que la restauration, la location et les divers services liés au tourisme. La théorie de l'économie territoriale nous fournit un cadre théorique important pour étudier le capital social comme ressource territoriale. Ce choix ne se justifie pas seulement par les portées scientifiques de l'économie territoriale, d'autres facteurs nous guident vers ce choix dont les caractéristiques du secteur touristique syrien ; et le besoin d'accompagner au niveau scientifique une volonté affichée du gouvernement à encourager un nouveau mode de développement et de planification plus local que central. Pour nous permettre d'apercevoir le rôle du capital social dans la dynamique de l'offre touristique locale dans la station étudiée, nous procédons à l'élaboration d'un indicateur de ‘‘l'effet du capital social sur l'offre touristique''. Nous présentons également l'étude d'un réseau formé des acteurs de la station pratiquant la même activité. Dans l'étude du fonctionnement de ce réseau nous discernons la manière dont des normes et principes comme la réciprocité ou la réputation affectent l'activité des acteurs dans la station. Différents niveaux de conclusions peuvent être tirés de notre travail : sur le rôle du capital social dans la transformation du tissu économique territorial ; ou sur l'importance de la famille dans le financement des projets touristiques ; ou encore sur la déficience du capital social institutionnel. / This thesis proposes a multidimensional analysis of the effect of social capital on the tourism sector dynamics at the territorial level. The objective of this work is to question the capacity of local actors to mobilize their stocks of social capital in a dynamic of development of the tourism offer based on local resources. For this we use the theoretical framework of social capital theory as well as the territorial economy, in order to illuminate new perspectives on the potential of tourism development based on local resources. This framework is applied to the understanding of the links between social capital and the tourist offer in a seaside resort of the Syrian coastal region. To enable us to see the role of social capital in the dynamics of the local tourism offer in the studied seaside resort, we proceed with the development of an indicator of '' the effect of social capital on the tourist offer ''. We also present a study of a network of actors from the resort engaged in the same activity. In this study we discern how norms and principles such as reciprocity or reputation affect the activity of actors.Different levels of conclusions can be drawn from our work: on the role of social capital in the transformation of the local economy; or on the importance of the family in financing tourism projects; or on the deficiency of institutional capital.

På flykt - i en mer eller mindre fjärran värld : En komparativ innehållsanalys av Dagens Nyheters gestaltning av människor på flykt från Syrien och Ukraina / Refugees - in a more or less distant world : A comparative content analysis of the narrative used by Dagens Nyheter while portraying refugees from Syria and Ukraine

Vikström, Vilma, Vikström, Emil January 2022 (has links)
For the first time in almost 80 years, a war has broken out in Europe. On February 24 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. Even though this in fact is the first big scale war in Europe since the Second World War ended in 1945, Europe has been part of the consequences of war on a more common occasion.  Immigration has, in some regard, been the number one topic of the debate in both Swedish politics and media since the big refugee flows from the Syrian war started reaching Europe. It has been a heated debate. Some say that the media is framing the debate in favor of Ukrainian refugees and that the journalists in the Swedish news industry are affecting the audience to a more welcoming attitude towards Ukrainians than Syrians, through the narrative the media has created.   This study aimed to understand which narrative was used in Dagens Nyeter to describe the people fleeing each war. Our research material about Syrians consisted of articles published in Dagens Nyheter between September 2nd and October 2nd 2015 and articles about Ukrainians published between February 24th and March 24th 2022. Through agenda-setting theory, framing theory and news evaluation theory this study clarified what described the two wars and in which way the audience later got to experience and evaluate the news.  The result confirmed our original hypothesis. People fleeing the war in Ukraine are described with personalized and humbling circumstances, such as pregnant women and children. In contrast, people fleeing Syria were described as refugees and migrants, which on one hand is accurate, but doesn't affect the audience in the same way as more personalized descriptions. Moreover, the results in combination with earlier studies, show that the portraying that takes place in the media does affect how the audience later tends to create their perception of reality.

A Long Way Home : Spontaneous Returns and Potential Returns of Syrian Refugees Examined

Kerbabian, Shant January 2019 (has links)
The recent wave of Syrian refugees’ spontaneous return to conflict areas in Syria is not a new phenomenon, various cases of return to areas that do not meet safety and security standards has happened in cases like Somali refugees returning from Kenya or Angolan refugees returning from Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the Syrian case is important to study in order to examine any new patterns or elements in refugee returns that could arise or could be unpacked. This study examines Syrian refugees’ spontaneous returns, to what is considered by the international community as unsafe Syria and discusses the reasons for return that were provided by refugees returning currently and refugees who answer the question of return. The study finds that the notion of “home” and “homeland” are amongst the most influential when it comes to the decision to return coupled with push factors like livelihood issues and discrimination in host countries, in addition to pull factors from country of origin like amnesty regarding military conscription. The study finds that refugees not returning do so due to starting a new life, not having guarantees of safety and having lost everything in their home country. The study confirms King’s (2000) argument regarding home country pull factors having a bigger influence in impacting refugee returns. This study uses discourse analysis as a method using the proposed framework of Teun A. van Dijk’s (1985, 2011), the primary data source are interviews by Syrian refugees on YouTube in the Arabic Language. YouTube was chosen due to the role it played throughout the Syrian uprising in providing news to Syrians. The analysis of the data will use a four-dimensional framework which dissects push and pull factors, then examines them through the transnational and diaspora theories for refugee returns and has the place-identity theory as an overall starting point. The study concludes by recommending the international community pays more attention to the psychological factors from the home country so interventions and programmes of return make sure refugees are safe, protected and not falsely lured into return.
