In a Swedish classroom today there will be students with different ethnicities, world views and religious beliefs.  The students will be taught religion through a non-denominational education, where as a teacher you are meant to be objective, open-minded and fair in the representation of different traditions. This representation is colored by the outsider-perspective and the students then learn about religion from a party which is not involved in the religion being taught. This essay discusses how to balance the outsider-perspective in religious education in the Swedish school with insider-voices. More specific, the use of Muslim websites when teaching about Islam. The material this essay studies are three Muslim websites: al-islam.se, islaminfo.se and islamguiden.se. In order to make a didactic analysis of the websites, they are compared to a standard Swedish textbook. The method being used to do the analysis is a text analysis with a didactic point of view. The essay focuses on questions of the websites presentation of Islam, claim of truth and discussion on the negative image of Islam by the West. The essay shows that websites is a good alternative method in the process of balancing the outsider-perspective but requires conscious didactic choices and the need to teach the students about source criticism. The websites, because of their insider-voices, will need to be analyzed and explained to the students to keep the classroom environment non-denominational.

This qualitative text analysis has studied medias portrayal of Taimour Abdulwahab, Anders Behring Breivik and their respective terrorist attacks. The purpose of the essay was to study the newspapers portrayal of the terrorists, with one terrorist being part of an us group and the other one part of a them group. It also aspires to uncover whether the medias portrayal of the terrorists reproduce mechanisms which help sustain the gap between us and them. To answer the essays research questions we have used the media theory about agenda setting and the sociologists Norbert Elias’ and John L. Scotsons theory about established and outsiders. The analysis of news articles the first two days after the terrorist attacks in Swedish newspapers Expressen and Aftonbladet showed a difference in the portrayal of the established Breivik, whos persona and actions were explained on an individual level, whereas the outsider Abdulwahab was connected to groups and his acts explained on a more structural level. The results have also shown how deeply connected terrorism and Islam are, which especially came through in the articles about Breivik, a Christian ethnic Norwegian man. / Denna kvalitativa textanalysstudie har undersökt medias framställning av Taimour Abdulwahab, Anders Behring Breivik och deras respektive terrordåd. Syftet var att undersöka tidningars framställning av terrorister, där ena terroristen tillhör en vi-grupp och den andra en dem-grupp. Den avser även att se om media reproducerar mekanismer som upprätthåller klyftan mellan vi och dem i sin rapportering av terrordåden. För att svara på forskningsfrågorna har vi tagit hjälp av den medievetenskapliga teorin om dagordningen och dess byggstenar samt sociologerna Norbert Elias och John L. Scotsons teori om etablerade och outsiders. Analysen av artiklar från de två första dagarna efter dåden i Expressen och Aftonbladet visade en skillnad i framställningen hos den etablerade Breivik, som framställdes på ett individuellt plan, medan outsidern Abdulwahab kopplades ihop med grupper och förklarades av strukturella skäl. Resultaten har även visat att terrorism är starkt ihopkopplat med religionen islam, även i Breiviks fall, som inte är muslim.

Body modification or body change is part of the circuit of piercings and tattoos, although they are socially less thinned and more extreme, like scarifications, subcutaneous implants, bifurcated tongues, surfaces and body suspensions. The aim of this paper is to cast an anthropological glance on these practices, joining at the same context all the subjects involved with these techniques, placing them inside the same relational focus and capturing their journeys and trajectories. The discussions are concentrated on the notion of body building and urban life style. Ideas as personal distinctness and prestige imitation are also present in this universe, as well as matters attached to genre, pleasure, art, and to the so-called alternative circuit . This way, the ethnography so far presented here, reveals the complex and contemporaneous character of these practices of body markings in which the body appears as the central element in the experiences of the subjects of this study / Diante da pesquisa de campo realizada com um grupo ligado ao universo da body modification, ? poss?vel perceber alguns usos e significados associados a essas formas de interven??es corporais. A body modification ou modifica??o corporal faz parte do circuito dos piercings e tatuagens, no entanto, s?o formas menos dilu?das socialmente e consideradas mais extremas, como: escarifica??es, alargadores, implantes subcut?neos, l?ngua bifurcada, surfaces e suspens?es corporais. O objetivo desta disserta??o ? lan?ar um olhar antropol?gico sobre essas pr?ticas, contextualizando os sujeitos envolvidos com essas t?cnicas, situando-os dentro de um enfoque relacional, percebendo seus percursos e trajet?rias. As discuss?es est?o centradas em torno da no??o de constru??o corporal e estilo de vida na cidade. Ideais como distin??o pessoal e imita??o prestigiosa tamb?m est?o presentes nesse universo, bem como quest?es ligadas a g?nero, prazer, arte, e ao chamado circuito alternativo . Dessa forma, a etnografia aqui apresentada demonstra o car?ter complexo e contempor?neo dessas pr?ticas de marca??es corporais, em que o corpo aparece como elemento central nas experi?ncias dos sujeitos desta pesquisa

Seu contexto envolve a apresentação de pistas que são usadas para chegar a uma conclusão. A presença dessas estruturas no gênero fantástico dá origem a uma estrutura narrativa interessante, com semelhanças e diferenças peculiares. O fantástico pode subverter a estrutura conclusiva do puzzle, como um quebra-cabeças montado, através do aspecto da hesitação que é inerente ao gênero fantástico, originando dessa maneira representações de um “desvio autorizado”. Para um estudo de caso foram escolhidos dois filmes: Abre los Ojos (Abre los Ojos, Espanha, Alejandro Amenábar, 1997, 117 min.) e Yella (Yella, Alemanha, Christian Petzold, 2007, 89 min.). É possível, a partir do estudo dos referidos filmes, encadear uma análise de como o puzzle e o fantástico se relacionam dentro de narrativas fílmicas e se as dicotomias estudadas ocorrem nas duas ocasiões. Pode-se traçar desta forma, alguns objetivos relevantes para o estudo. Os puzzle-films se relacionam com o gênero fantástico de maneira exclusiva ou relacional? O gênero fantástico serve como efeito subversivo da ordem final do puzzle resolvido, através de características de hesitação, transgressão, desvio e estranheza? Esse desvio pode ser motor de análise de possíveis reflexos de questões da sociedade contemporânea? Esses dois filmes, através de suas narrativas puzzle, são capazes de ser usados como exemplo para responder a essas questões? Feitas essas perguntas, partiremos então para a tentativa de respondê-las com uma metodologia e uma fundamentação teórica já bem consolidada. Aproximaremos-nos da questão de gênero através de uma perspectiva semântico/sintática pragmática. Quanto às questões do fantástico e dos puzzle, nos utilizaremos de pesquisas feitas no âmbito literário e cinematográfico. E, ao analisar a questão da transgressão, olharemos para teorias da sociologia do desvio para entender onde se localizam as representações dos outsiders. / Puzzle-films are films that present narratives with non-linear structures. Their context involves the presentation of cues that are used to arrive at a final conclusion. The presence of these structures in the fantastic genre results in an interesting narrative structure, with similarities and differences. Fantastic can subvert the puzzle conclusive structure, like a puzzle assembled, by the hesitation aspect that is inherent in the fantastic genre, giving this way representation of an "authorized deviation". For a case study we chose two films: Abre los Ojos (Abre los Ojos, Spain, Alejandro Amenábar, 1997, 117 min.) and Yella (Yella, Germany, Christian Petzold, 2007, 89 min.). It is possible so chain together from an analysis of how the puzzle and the fantastic relate in film narratives and studied dichotomies occur on both occasions. Then we can draw some important goals for the study. The puzzle-films relate to the fantastic genre exclusively or relational way? The fantastic genre serves as subversive effect of the final order of the puzzle solved through hesitation features, transgression, deviation and strangeness? This deviation can be an analysis engine of possible reflections of the contemporary societal issues? These two films through their narratives puzzle, are able to be used as an example to answer these questions? With these questions then we depart to the attempt to answer them with a methodology and theoretical foundation already well established. We will approach to the question of gender through a semantic perspective / pragmatic syntax. The questions of the fantastic and the puzzle we will use the research done in the literary and cinematic scope. And in discussing the question of transgression, we will look at the sociology of deviance theories to understand where are located the representations of outsiders.

The aim of this study is to investigate how inside and outside directors differ in their cognition and reasoning in regards to environmental sustainability issues. The theoretical background derives from a cognitive view and Stakeholder theory. The paper is further based on current research regarding insiders’ and outsiders’ relationship to environmental sustainability. In order to capture the cognition and reasoning of insiders and outsiders, a Think-aloud study was conducted, interviewing a total of 20 board members in the food industry. Results from this study showed that, when faced with environmental issues, outsiders are more likely to request, repeat, ponder as well as clarify the information given. Secondly, outsiders are more likely to consider a long-term perspective. Thirdly, outsiders are more likely to consider an environmental view. Lastly, both insiders and outsiders use analogical reasoning when contemplating around environmental issues. However, insiders are more likely to draw experience from their current position or company while outsiders are more likely to draw experience from outside their current position or company when solving environmental issues.

Syftet med denna studie är att genom kvalitativ metod få förståelse för hur det är möjligt för f.d. kriminella att gå från ett slutet system, präglat av utanförskap och ensamhet, till en gemenskap i organisationen KRIS. Utifrån tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer med f.d. kriminella inom KRIS (Kriminellas Revansch i Samhället) i Göteborg , varav fem var kvinnor och fem män, hämtade vi vårt material för att kunna besvara vår frågeställning. Resul-tatet av studien visar att man som kriminell individ lätt hamnar i ett utanförskap och är stigmatiserad vilket försvårat för våra informanter att skaffa jobb, ha tillitsfulla relationer etc. Man kan bli bemött av samhället som icke trovärdig vilket ökar avståndet och klyftorna mellan den kriminella och den icke kriminella vilket försvårar återetableringen i samhällsgemenskapen. Att gå från ett utanförskap med stigmatisering till att ingå i en gemenskap är en komplex process. Utifrån vår uppsats ser vi att ett gott och respektfullt bemötande, där man inte bemöter individen utifrån dennes stigma, är en av flera betydande komponenter för individens förändringsprocess. KRIS har varit en plats för den kriminella att i lugn, trygg och respektfull miljö kunna återetablera sig i samhället. / The purpose of this study is to use qualitative methods to understand how it is possible for the former criminals to move from a closed system, characterized by alienation and loneliness, to a community in the organization KRIS. Based on ten semi-structured interviews of former criminals in the organization KRIS (Criminals Return into Society) in Gothenburg we collected our material. The results of the study show that criminals easily fall into exclusion and stigmatization which making it difficult for the individual to get a job or to have trusting relationships etc. The individual can be treated by the society as non-credible and increasing the distance and the gap between the criminal and the non criminal which impedes the re-establishment in the society. To go from an outsider with a stigma to being a part of a community is a complex process. A good and respectful treatment, which does not react to the individual based on their stigma, is one of several significant components of the individual change. KRIS has been a calm, safe and respectful environment for the individuals to re-establish themselves in the society.

Several studies have shown that the Swedish labour market for different reasons is characterized by ethnical discrimination and that people who have another cultural background than Swedish are being excluded. Most studies done within this area have been focused on why it is harder for immigrants to enter the labour market and identifying the contributing mechanisms for this phenomenon. Instead the aim of this study was to see how the immigrants view their own cultural identity and background and how they perceive that their cultural competences are being valued when they apply for a job. To examine this, the following problematic was used: How does a person who has been brought up with both the Swedish culture and another culture look at using this as a cultural competence when they apply for a job. Two different theories were then applied to analyze the problematic, Erving Goffman´s theory about Stigma and Norbert Elias theory about the Established and the Outsiders. To carry out the study, a qualitative method with interviews was used and 8 people from 6 different cultural backgrounds participated. The results show that if the knowledge that had emerged from a persons cultural background turned out to benefit that person in his or her work situation than that person was more likely to see cultural background as a competence. Although if the condition was the opposite then there was no need to see it or to use it as a competence. Therefore cultural competence seems to be useful in specific situations and in interaction with certain people or groups of people rather than being viewed as an overall, general competence. To accentuate cultural competence also proved to be difficult due to the stereotyped conceptions about immigrants that exist in society. The conclusion of this study is that emphasizing cultural competence can sometimes benefit a person although there is always a risk that it could lead to increased stigmatization.
