This study highlights the stereotypical depictions of journalists in film using a narrative analysis of four major Hollywood productions, starting with All the President’s Men from 1976 through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from 2011. Its purpose is to highlight traits given to journalists in the movies and re-occuring themes in the portrayal of the media and the journalistic occupation. Differences and commonalities between the films are concluded in a discussion of ethics, personalities and the media’s self image. The paper can be seen as a contribution to the paradigm in which journalism in the movies is perceived at the moment. It offers a wide explanation to how the image of the journalist is conveyed to the public, an image that differs from how real life journalists go about in daily work life. This is essential, since most people never get to experience journalistic work in reality – but solely from popular culture – which distorts the perception of the media as the fourth estate.

La peau humaine est un élément singulier qui recouvre le corps et permet à chacun de bénéficier du sens du toucher. Qualifiée de tissu du corps humain, la peau est aujourd’hui soumise au même régime juridique que celui qui s’applique à l’égard du corps humain. Pourtant, si la peau est indéniablement une enveloppe qui entoure le corps et le protège, elle est également proche de la personne puisqu’elle en constitue l’apparence, renferme des éléments de son identité et contribue à son identification. Par conséquent, la peau recouvre la surface du corps et désigne aussi la personne, ce qui en fait un élément frontalier du corps et de la personne. Ainsi rattachée aux deux entités dominantes que sont la personne et le corps, la peau doit être envisagée dans une relation ternaire qui la placerait au centre des liens entretenus entre la personne et son corps. D’une part, la peau n’est pas seulement un élément du corps humain puisque la personne bénéficie d’un droit d’effectuer des choix concernant sa peau, voire de la modifier. D’autre part, la peau n’est pas seulement un élément rattaché à la personne puisqu’elle renferme le corps et en constitue une protection. Par conséquent, si ce lien entre la peau et la personne doit être mis en exergue, il doit également se conjuguer avec le lien qui existe entre la peau et le corps, afin d’assurer, non seulement une cohérence entre les différents principes juridiques qui s’appliquent alternativement à la peau en fonction de son entité de rattachement mais également, de garantir une protection effective de la peau quelle que soit cette entité de rattachement. / Human skin is a singular element that covers the body and allows everyone to benefit from the sense of touch. Described as a tissue of the human body, now the skin is subject to the same legal system enforced to the human body. However, if the skin is a protecting body shell, it is also akin to the person herself because it compose her appearence, contains elements of her identity and conduce to her identification. Therefore, if the skin covers the entire body, it also constitute the person. This makes of the skin a border element of the body and the person. Connected with this two dominant entities (person and body), the skin must be construed in a ternary relationship wich would place it in the center of the links between the person and her body. Indeed, the skin is not only an element of the human body because the person benefits from a right to make choices concerning it, even to modify it. But the skin cannot either only be an element of the person because it contains the body and constitutes a protection. However, if this link between the skin and the person must be hightlighted, it also has to merge with the link between the skin and the body to assure, on one hand, a coherence between the various legal principles alternately applied to the skin, according to its entity of pertaining, and, on the other hand, to guarantee an effective protection of the skin whatever is this entity of pertaining.

The theoretical part of the thesis should bring us into the issue followed by subsequent analysis and comparison of body modifications such as piercings, microdermal implants, tattoos and corsets in the socio-cultural discourse. The following section should be focused on the differences between ethnic cultures with respect to the issue outlined. The output of the practical part is based on theoretical knowledge, basic manual should be the final product, which would introduce the issue of deliberate physical transformation of the main points to the general public.

No contexto do culto hedonista do corpo e da ascensão do subjetivismo da vontade ao topo da escala de valores dos sujeitos contemporâneos, detectamos a existência de uma modalidade de identificação horizontal com aqueles que têm os mesmos traços de gozo, como por exemplo, entre aqueles que marcam o corpo. Partindo desta perspectiva este estudo articula dois elementos: o corpo marcado e as vicissitudes das identificações em tempos de fragilidade de referências simbólicas consistentes. Realizamos uma análise clínica a partir dos pressupostos da psicanálise dos dados de fala de quatro sujeitos que submetem seus corpos a tatuagens e alterações corporais. Esta pesquisa encontrou três sujeitos para quem seus corpos são palco de paixões que aí se inscrevem como forma de apelar por um lugar e pelo reconhecimento do Outro, e um sujeito que apresenta a peculiaridade de ancorar seu ser em suas modificações corporais e está identificado a uma insígnia de gozo / In the context of hedonistic cult of the body and the rise of subjectivism will the top of the range of values of contemporary subjects, we detected the existence of a horizontal mode of identification with those who have the same traits of enjoyment, for example, among those that mark the body. From this perspective this study combines two elements: the body affected and the vicissitudes of identifications in times of weakness of symbolic consistent. We performed a clinical analysis from the assumptions of psychoanalysis of the speech data of four individuals who submit their bodies to tattoos and body changes. This research found three subjects for whom their bodies are the site of the passions that then fall as a way to appeal for a place and recognition of the Other, and a guy who has the peculiarity of their being anchored in your body changes and is identified with a emblem of joy

Den här studien syftar till att söka förståelse för tatuerade personers individuella uppfattningar kring betydelsen av deras tatueringar, samt kring tatueringar på en generell nivå. Vidare har vi haft för avsikt att undersöka hur tatuerade personer upplever omgivningens uppfattningar och bemötande utifrån tatueringarna. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med främst ett induktivt förhållningssätt, vilket emellertid även innefattar vissa deduktiva inslag. Vidare intar studien idealism och konstruktivism som ontologiska ståndpunkter med en hermeneutisk och interpretativistisk epistemologi. Insamlandet av empiriskt material har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.   Resultat i studien visar att tatueringar utgör en betydande komponent i en individs identitetsskapande vilket samverkar med individens omgivning. Resultatet visar även att tatueringarna och dess symbolik kopplas till individens relation till omgivningen och dess roll som samhällsvarelse i vilken samhälleliga normer och uppfattningar tillägnas och tolkas. Slutligen visar resultatet att tatueringar och tatuerande som aktivitet kan återspegla det samtida samhället och dess utmärkande drag. / The aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the individual perceptions of tattooed persons about the significance of their tattoos, as well as of tattoos on a general level. Furthermore, we intended to investigate how tattooed people perceive the surroundings' perceptions and attitudes based on the tattoos. The study has a qualitative approach with mainly an inductive approach, which, however, also includes some deductive elements. Furthermore, the study adopts idealism and constructivism as ontological positions with a hermeneutic and interpretivist epistemology. The collection of empirical material has been done through semi-structured interviews. Results in the study show that tattoos are a significant component of an individual's creation of identity which interacts with the individual's surroundings. The result also shows that the tattoos and their symbolism are linked to the individual's relationship to the environment and its role as a social being in which societal norms and perceptions are assigned and interpreted. Finally, the results show that tattoos and tattoos as an activity can reflect the contemporary society and its distinctive features.

Abstract This thesis sets out to explore the cultural differences between Sweden and the United States by examining the substantial changes made to Men Who Hate Women, including the change in the book’s title in English to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. My thesis focuses in particular on changes in the depiction of the female protagonist: Lisbeth Salander. Unfortunately we do not have access to translator Steven T. Murray’s original translation, though we know that the English publisher and rights holder Christopher MacLehose chose to enhance Larsson’s work in order to make the novel more interesting for English-speaking readers, which resulted in Murray translating under the pseudonym Reg Keeland as he did not agree to the translation made by MacLehose and Knopf. Furthermore, this thesis touches on the ethics of translation, and will likewise argue the importance of facilitating a dialog concerning misogyny and rape culture.

It should be noticed that it is not properly an investigation of violence as an occurrence, but as a straight observation of actual dynamics of social practices and social relations. The central challenge of the investigation was to identify the imaginary world of gangs with relation to violence and their cultural background. The first incursions in search of youngsters’ dynamics within the field of violence itself aimed at identifying tracks which would lead to occurrences of meaningful cultural maps within the environment of targeted areas. The major issue of the observation and construction of an object of investigation was the following: What it is considered violence by poor youngsters who have joined gangs and groupings? How do machinations of violence are articulated and especially which meaning do they take? What is the gangs’ aim when they point to violence-dominated area in the city? What cultural references give support to violence and create the gangs experiences question. The methodological path of this study followed and ethnographic script that was mounted from a previous mapping of the field and a planning for connections and meetings with several territories of the city. Those local mediations were almost always arranged by representatives of “possessions” within the organized hip-hop movement. By the end of the research a specific group (The Courtyard Grouping) was selected as ethnographic landscape. In this fashion, while the research developed, so slowly grew the investigation’s major objective. The gang is the breeding grounds for dynamics related to meetings and actions of groups; it does not have an autonomous existence. The gang is an occurrence, a typical spellbinding manifestation; it reveals itself by action, it names itself according to repetition. Many times, the gang is the other’s perception about a set of juvenile practices. It is at the time of manifestation that youngsters attract the eye of the public in order to translate their social inscription and imprint their status as members of a gang. As a conclusion, it is advanced that violence becomes a voiceless dimension within the discourse produced in the interior of the gang itself; its public manifestation ends up gaining a positive evaluation and establishing differences. It is at this time that those residents of banned areas register their existence, make public their social exclusion grouping and challenge society in search of a new vision and research of their condition. / Esta tese trata de um estudo acerca das relações entre cultura e violência no campo das experiências juvenis de bairros de periferia de Fortaleza. Deve-se ressaltar que não se investigou a violência enquanto acontecimento, enquanto observação direta de uma dinâmica concreta de práticas e relações sociais. O eixo central dessa investigação colocou-se no desafio de identificar o imaginário das gangues acerca da violência e suas construções culturais. As primeiras incursões no âmbito de investigação de dinâmicas juvenis no campo específico da violência, se projetaram sob o objetivo de identificar pistas, recorrências capazes de compor, dentro do contexto cultural desses bairros, mapas de significado cultural. A questão central dessa observação e da construção de um objeto de investigação foi a de pensar o seguinte : o que os jovens de periferia, participantes de gangues e galeras consideram violência? Como se articulam as tramas da violência e, fundamentalmente, que significados elas assumem? o que querem expressar as gangues quando encenam um modo territorializado de violência na cidade? Que referentes culturais dão suporte e produzem a experiência das gangues ? A trajetória metodológica desse estudo seguiu um roteiro etnográfico, constituído a partir de mapeamento prévio do campo e das conexões e encontros com gangues e galeras em múltiplos territórios da cidade. Essas mediações locais quase sempre foram efetuadas por representantes de "posses” do movimento hip hop organizado. No final da pesquisa, escolheu-se uma galera específica (Galera da Quadra) como paisagem etnográfica. Desse modo, à medida em que a pesquisa foi se desenvolvendo, lentamente foi também se delineando o escopo da investigação. A gangue institui-se na dinâmica dos encontros e atuações do grupo; ela não possui uma existência autônoma. A gangue é acontecimento, ato tipicamente mágico de manifestação, ela se traduz na ação, ela nomeia-se na repetição. Sendo muitas vezes a gangue o olhar do outro sobre um conjunto de práticas juvenis. É no momento de manifestação que esses jovens mobilizam o olhar do espectador como meio de traduzir sua inscrição social e instituir-se enquanto gangue. É nessa trilha de ação e produção de sentido, na construção da fenomenologia gangue, que torna-se simplificador o registro de um conceito unificador e totalizador da gangue. Concluímos que se a violência torna-se uma dimensão muda, em nível de discurso produzido no interior da própria gangue, sua manifestação pública acaba ganhando uma positividade e instaurando diferenças. É quando os moradores dos bairros proscritos registram sua existência, tornam públicas as suas redes de exclusão social e desafiam novos olhares e pesquisas.

L'image miraculeuse de la Vierge de Guadalupe mexicaine est bien plus qu'une icône religieuse : aujourd'hui symbole national, c'est un objet politique qui s'est trouvé au coeur de rivalités constantes entre le pouvoir civil et l'Eglise depuis son " apparition " au XVIe siècle. Sans pour autant négliger les liens qui la rattachent à chacun, ou presque, des Mexicains, nous nous sommes efforcés de mettre en lumière cet aspect trop souvent négligé de son histoire qui se déroule sur près de cinq siècles. / The miraculous image of the Mexican Virgin of Guadalupe is much more than a religious icon : It is a national symbol and a political object which has been at the heart of constant rivalities between the civil authorities and the Church since her "apparition" in the XVIth century. Without neglecting the intimate relationship most Mexicans have developed with her, we have been focusing on this aspect, too often forgotten from most scholar studies on the matter.
