This study aims at exploring a new phenomenon labelled here as green populism. Building on modern theories of populism and green ideology, this case-study is focused on finding which elements of green populism are present, if any, in Greta Thunberg’s discourse. Using a Qualitative Content Analysis methodology and what is known as a coding process, it was possible to determine that all six subcategories of green populism, defined by this study as a) ecological crisis of cosmic proportion, b) victimisation of "the people", c) blame attribution to "the elite", d) green radicalisation, e) trust in science, and finally, f) intergenerational justice, can be identified in Greta Thunberg’s speeches. The analysis leads to the conclusion that Greta Thunberg is a populist actor which combines both populism thin-centred ideology and green ideology into a new phenomenon: green populism. / <p>Contact: ac222sd@student.lnu.se</p>

This study analyses the frames and discourses in different news media reporting on the same events in news outlets in Canada, the US, and Sweden. This was done by analysing both digital-born media and legacy media. The theoretical framework consists of theories about discourse, framing, media logics, the economic prerequisites for journalism, and environmental journalism. The aim is to find what frames, discourses, tone and what voices are being heard in the news coverage of Greta Thunberg’s climate protest, the migrant caravan, and the UN report on climate change released in 2018. Also, differences in the different media are analysed. This is done through discourse analysis by using Fairclough’s CDA and the three-dimensional model, combined with tools from critical linguistics. The analysis of the news texts found that the discourses in the coverage of the three events followed previous research on journalistic values, production and the way that climate change events were reported (or not reported) on. The study also found some themes, frames, that were producing new discourses in climate change journalism. Among these was the way that Greta Thunberg and other young voices were heard on a subject that previously has been heavily focused on politicians, scientists and NGO’s. Thunberg and the migrant caravan were also covered more extensively by the news media included than the UN report, not framing climate in the articles, even though they are about climate change events.

Uppsatsen är en biografisk och receptionshistorisk studie av en svensk nutida konstnär. Tidningarnas recensioner och artiklar, personliga samtal med Johan Thunberg och analys av Thunbergs målningar ger underlag till uppsatsen. Materialet har hämtats från bibliotekets mikrofilmsarkiv, tidningarnas internetarkiv och konstnärens hemsida på Internet med länkar till Konstnärslexikonet Amanda och Svenska konstnärer.   Vid informationsinsamlandet av underlaget till uppsatsen har långsamt en ”bild” av Johan Thunbergs konstnärliga verksamhet vuxit fram som idag år 2011 kan ses som en mindre affärsrörelse. En intressant del i affärsrörelsen, förutom den konstnärliga kreativiteten att framställa originalmålningar, är marknadsföringen av enmansföretaget. En särskild analys av denna marknadsföring har gjorts.   Slutligen har en analys av studien gjorts och slutresultatet redovisats.

The main objective of this dissertation is to build site index curves relating dominant height and age and to elaborate density management diagram (DMD) for individuals of Hovenia dulcis located in the central area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. To do that, it was used information from 4 stands, aged 25, located at Fundação de Pesquisa Agropecuária (FEPAGRO) and from a population of free trees, with DAPs varying from 5 to 45 cm, located at the campus of Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), both in the municipal district of Santa Maria. For the construction of the sites indexes, information from 18 dominant trees was gathered in the 4 stands located at FEPAGRO, observing the methodology for trunk analysis. In places where trees were under competition, data for the elaboration of the density management diagrams were collected in trees of dominant, intermediate and dominated strata, considering the method of the punctual density. In the place where trees were free from competition, census was made. As a result, in the elaboration of the site index curves, the Backman model was selected, being verified the necessity of construction of two groups of index curves, from 5 to 25 years-old, with interval of 2 meters and index of 25. For the Site I-A, 3 index curves were created from 22 to 24 meters and, for the join of the Sites I-B+II+III, 6 index curves from 8 to 18 meters were produced. It was also possible to conclude that the Reineke model adjusted itself to calculate the closing density lines of the dossal and of the self-thinning, with angular coefficients very close to -1.5, for both of them, being demonstrated that the potency law of -3/2 of self-thinning was taken into account and that it was very similar to the hypothesis postulated by Reineke. The population density, for the beginning of the total capacity of the dossal, was of 42.5% of the maximum number of trees that the place allows, and that, with the collected data, it was possible to build diagrams for the density management, from the 5 to the 31 cm of diameter of the tree of medium basal area. / O objetivo principal deste trabalho é construir curvas de índice de sítio relacionando altura dominante e idade e elaborar diagramas de manejo de densidade (DMD), para populações de Hovenia dulcis localizadas na região central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Para tanto, foram utilizadas informações de 4 povoamentos, com idades de 25 anos, localizado na Fundação de Pesquisa Agropecuária (FEPAGRO), e de uma população de árvores livres, com DAPs variando de 5 a 45 cm, localizado no campus da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), ambos no município de Santa Maria. Para a construção dos índices de sítios, coletaram-se informações de 18 árvores dominantes, nos 4 povoamentos localizados na FEPAGRO, observando a metodologia para análise de tronco. Nos locais onde as árvores estavam sob concorrência, os dados para a elaboração dos diagramas de manejo da densidade, foram coletados em árvores dos estratos dominante, intermediário e dominado, pelo método da densidade pontual. No local onde as árvores estavam livres de concorrência, realizou-se censo. Como resultado, na elaboração das curvas índice de sítio, o modelo de Backman foi o selecionado, ficando constatada a necessidade da construção de dois conjuntos de curvas índices, da idade de 5 a 25 anos, com intervalo de 2 metros e idade índice de 25 anos. Para o sítio I-A, foram geradas 3 curvas índice, de 22 a 24 metros e, para a união dos Sítios I-B+II+III, 6 curvas índices de 8 a 18 metros. Também foi possível concluir que o modelo de Reineke ajustou-se satisfatoriamente para estimar as linhas de densidade de fechamento do dossel e de autodesbaste, com coeficientes angular se aproximando muito de -1,5, para ambas, ficando demonstrado que a lei da potência de -3/2 de autodesbaste foi contemplada e que se aproximou muito da hipótese postulada por Reineke. A densidade populacional, para o início da total lotação do dossel, foi de 42,5% do número máximo de árvores que o local permite, sendo que com os dados coletados foi possível construir diagramas para o manejo da densidade, dos 5 aos 31 cm de diâmetro da árvore de área basal média.

Since Greta Thunberg started her environmental school strike in August 2018 she has become a world famous activist and has been portrayed in news media everywhere. The aim of this bachelor study has been to examine how Greta Thunberg has been portrayed in the Swedish news media through examining two daily press newspapers and two evening press newspapers. This resulted in analyzing articles in Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. By using a qualitative and a quantitative content analysis we investigated three different events connected to Greta Thunberg through published articles. During 2018 the event that started her journey, which is the school strike, was selected as one of these happenings. During 2019 we chose her UN- speech in New York, and for the last event her speech at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos was chosen. By choosing these specific events we could build a perception of what the media's portrayal of Greta Thunberg has been like during these three years. Therefore this study also aimed to answer the following research questions: - How has Greta Thunberg been portrayed in the daily press and the evening press? - Has the portrayal of Greta Thunberg changed over time? In this study we used the Framing Theory and also the protest paradigms as guidelines and we also applied von Zabern &amp; Tulloch (2020) and Bergmann &amp; Ossewaardes (2020) different frames. This study then led to an identification of a new framing of Greta Thunberg which we named “Speaking without speaking”, mostly consisting of what politicians and celebrities are saying about Greta Thunberg in the press. We also found that by examining these specific events that Greta Thunberg has been portrayed in different ways. Therefore we could also conclude that the framings and portrayals of Greta Thunberg changed throughout time. This means that she went from being portrayed as a young girl skipping school for the climate, to a world famous environmental activist and finally becoming a trustworthy leader. Therefore our study shows that Greta Thunberg was being undermined due to her young age in the ibeginning, but as her status grew the media changed their portrayal of her into the role model that she has become today.

Author: Raffael Antonio Title: The politics are a joke - a qualitative interview analysis about the view of media consuments on memes and Greta Thunberg.   The purpose of this study is to look closely at the media consumers and their views on political memes and how other consumers and producers on social media are producing Greta Thunberg as a political figure by the help of memes.    The analysis has been done by qualitative semi-structured interviews with people as regular social media consumers. This was made by an interview guide with semi-structured questions about political memes, politics on social media and how Greta Thunberg is produced by meme creators according to the consumers.    The results have shown that there are two groups when it comes to Greta Thunberg on social media; the ones who are disliking her and the ones who stand up for her. These groups are based on opinions, political views and different generations which are also seen among the meme creators and what type of memes they made. Those who are disliking Thunberg, do it for different main reasons, such as age, origin of family and political beliefs.    Memes also matter in this study because of its format in picture and text, which give consumers an idea of the meme creator and its beliefs. Results also show that the behaviour of memes reflect society on different levels, political beliefs as an primary example. / Skriven av: Raffael Antonio Titel: Politiken är ett skämt – en kvalitativ intervjustudie om mediekonsumenters syn på politiska memes och Greta Thunberg   Syftet med denna studie är att titta närmare på mediekonsumenterna och deras syn på politiska memes och hur andra konsumenter och producenter på sociala medier producerar Greta Thunberg som en politisk figur med hjälp av memes.   Analysen har gjorts genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med människor som vanliga sociala mediekonsumenter. Detta gjordes av en intervjuguide med semistrukturerade frågor om politiska memes, politik på sociala medier och hur Greta Thunberg produceras av memeskapare enligt konsumenterna.   Resultaten har visat att det finns två grupper när det gäller Greta Thunberg om sociala media; de som ogillar henne och de som står upp för henne. Dessa grupper är baserade om åsikter, politiska åsikter och olika generationer som också ses bland memen skapare och vilken typ av memes de gjorde. De som ogillar Thunberg, gör det för olika huvudskäl, till exempel ålder, familjens ursprung och politiska övertygelser.   Memes spelar också roll i denna studie på grund av dess format i bild och text, som ger konsumenterna en idé om meme-skaparen och dess övertygelser. Resultaten visar också att mönstren som visas i memes, återspeglar samhället på olika nivåer, politiska övertygelser som ett primärt exempel.
