This qualitative study aims to look at how the knowledge and awareness regarding source criticism is seen amongst media students attending their first year at Linnaeus University. Our theoretical base includes to explain what source criticism is, about media literacy, the power media has in the Swedish society, the effects that media can create, and the effects of internet. This study consists of eleven interviews where knowledge and awareness regarding source criticism are in focus. Our interviewees have contributed with diverse reasoning and thoughts, which will be presented closer in this study. A central part of this study also contains questions about the reasoning of the eleven media students regarding source criticism in relation to their career choice and position in society.Our result shows that the knowledge and awareness regarding source criticism amongst the eleven students are high, however they also express that this might not be the case amongst the population in general. All interviewees testify that source criticism is a subject that affects and that it is a high possibility it does not get the attention it deserves.

Detta arbetes syfte är att se vilka olika familjekonstellationer som existerar i ett urval av bilderböcker som utkommit mellan 1989 och 2015. Dessa familjekonstellationers framställning har jämförts med hjälp av ett normkritiskt perspektiv, analyserats utifrån rådande normer som gäller familj och familjeliv i samhället och den statistik som tagits fram över olika familjeformer i Sverige under början av 2000-talet. Resultatet visar att de fyra olika bilderböckernas familjer alla på något sätt går emot normen, men att den familj som stämmer bäst överens med bilden om hur kärnfamiljen ska se ut är den nyaste av de fyra utvalda bilderböckerna. / The aim of this study is to explore the different family constellations that exists in a selection of children’s picture books published between the years of 1989 and 2015. The representations of these family constellations have been compared by critically investigating norms that applies to families and they have been analyzed by these norms and the statistics that existed in society at the beginning of the 21th century. The result shows that all of the four chosen picture-books goes against the norm on some point, but that the newest of the four books is the one that most resembles the picture of a nuclear family.

Luiz Gonzaga tornou-se um dos maiores intérpretes e compositores populares de sua época. Sua voz, sua vestimenta, seu modo particular de falar, sua entonação fizeram com que se transformasse em um grande ícone nacional, o representante de uma identidade regional. Considerado um dos maiores divulgadores da cultura, costumes e crenças do Nordeste, suas canções tentam representar o contexto sociocultural e sociopolítico da região Nordeste. Alguns pesquisadores consideram suas canções, até hoje, como uma marca legítima e mantedora das raízes culturais e folclóricas da região. Após leitura parcial da literatura sobre a sua obra percebemos uma carência de estudos críticos lingüísticos vistos numa perspectiva da Semiótica-Social. Este estudo investiga de que maneira as canções de Luiz Gonzaga contribuem na constituição de uma identidade nordestina. A relevância dessa abordagem, consiste em colaborar para a construção do conhecimento acerca dos processos de constituição da identidade nordestina, através de uma leitura crítica das canções, rompendo com as práticas discursivas que favoreçam a criação de estereótipos nordestinos e conseqüentemente a unificação de uma identidade cultural regional. Foram escolhidas, de forma aleatória, vinte canções da obra musical de Luiz Gonzaga, as quais foram analisadas numa perspectiva da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), segundo o modelo tridimensional de Norman Fairclough (2001). As categorias utilizadas na análise foram: Transitividade na perspectiva da Lingüística Sistêmica Funcional (LSF), Ethos/Identidade culturais, Intertextualidade e a Interdiscursividade. Nas canções observam-se articulações dos traços culturais da região com a natureza e seus componentes particularmente regionais, instituindo sentidos à construção de uma realidade social. A seca, nessas canções, transforma-se no único grande problema do Nordeste. Dessa maneira, Luiz Gonzaga reproduz a prática discursiva estabelecida pela sociedade da época, aderindo à ordem do discurso do seu entorno. Assim, contribui para reforçar uma visão estereotipada, reduzindo a identidade nordestina ao flagelado da seca. As canções de Luiz Gonzaga além de reforçar esse estereótipo nordestino, reproduzem a ordem social da época em que viveu Luiz Gonzaga. Suas canções, de certa forma, faziam com que o Governo mandasse cada vez mais subsídios para socorrer a região, o que gerou a indústria da seca. O nordestino é representado como um povo escravizado e dependente economicamente do Governo, incapaz de perceber as lutas hegemônicas da sua região e reagir a elas. / Luiz Gonzaga has become one of the most important composers and interpreters of Brazilian popular music of his time. His voice, his clothing, his particular way of talking and his intonation made him become a great national symbol, a representative of a regional identity. Luiz Gonzaga is considered one of the most active men who spread out culture, costumes and beliefs of the Brazilian Northeast, and his songs try to portrait the socio-cultural and sociopolitical context of the Northeast. This very day, some researchers consider his songs as a genuine mar k that also keeps alive cultural and folkloric roots of the region. After reading part of the literature on his work, we realized that there were few linguistic critical studies based upon Social Semiotics. This study investigates the way Luiz Gonzaga.s songs contribute to establish a Brazilian northeastern people identity. This approach becomes relevant while it helps to improve the knowledge on the processes of construction of that identity, through a critical reading of the songs opposite to those discursive practices which tend to favor the creation of stereotypes related to Brazilian northeastern people, and so to the unification of a cultural identity in the region. We chose at random twenty songs by Luiz Gonzaga, which were analyzed according to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and based upon the threedimensional model proposed by Norman Fairclough (2001). The categories for the analysis were: transitivity - according to Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), Ethos/Cultural identities, intertextuality and interdiscourse. In the songs, it.s possible to see a connection between cultural aspects of the region, nature and its regional elements, what confers meanings to the construction of a social reality. The drought, in those songs, appears as the only big problem in the Brazilian Northeast. Thus, Luiz Gonzaga represents the discursive practice of the society of that time and adheres to the discursive order that surrounds him. Then, he reinforces a stereotyped point-of-view which reduces Brazilian northeastern people identity to those of who suffered with the drought. In addition, Luiz Gonzaga.s songs represent the social order of the time he lived. His songs in a certain way incited the Government to send more and more supplies to help people in the region, an attitude that generated the Brazilian drought industry. Brazilian Northeastern people are represented as slaves and economically dependent on the Government, unable to perceive hegemonic struggles of the region and to combat them.

Zusammenfassung Diese Untersuchung besteht aus sechs Hauptpunkten. Nach der Einleitung (I.) zum Thema, werden unter II. verschiedene Begriffe definiert und die Inhalte gegenüber verwandten Gebieten abgegrenzt. Als dritter Hauptpunkt (III.) folgt eine Untersuchung zu den klassischen Typologien der Pflichtenkollisionen. Dieses Thema wurde in der Vergangenheit in der Theologie und Philosophie immer wieder breit diskutiert. Unter IV. werden die Pflichtenkollisionen im lukanischen Doppelwerk untersucht. Diese exegetische Analyse soll aufzeigen, wie Jesus und die Apostel solchen Situationen begegnen und damit umgegangen sind. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch die Frage nach möglicher Schuld, als Konsequenz, untersucht. Der fünfte Hauptpunkt (V.) beschäftigt sich mit dem richtigen Verhalten in Pflichtenkollisionen. Einerseits wird die Position des Autors näher begründet und andererseits ein Vorschlag für eine Wertreihenfolge als Richtschnur im Konfliktfall angeboten. Im letzten Teil (VI.) werden die Erkenntnisse der Untersuchung auf sieben konkreten Fälle von Pflichtenkollisionen aus der Gemeinde und der Geschäftswelt praktisch angewendet. / This analysis consists of six main sections. Following the introduction of the theme (I), various terms are defined (II), and the contents are distinguished from related topics, with pertinent reasons given. The third (III) section consists of the results of my research on the classic typologies of conflicting duties. In the past, this subject has been widely discussed in the theological and philosophical circles. In the fourth (IV) section, conflicting duties are examined in light of Luke's writings. The goal of this exegetic analysis is to show how Jesus and the apostles met such situations, and how they dealt with them. In connection with this topic, the question of possible guilt, as a consequence, is researched. The fifth (V) section deals with proper behaviour toward conflicting duties. On one hand, the position of the author is established, and on the other hand a proposal is offered for a prioritization of values as a guiding principle in conflict situations. In the last section (VI), the findings of the research are applied practically to seven concrete examples of conflicting duties within the church and society. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M.

Genesis ist ein Buch von Familiengeschichten, welche durchgehend von Konflikten geprägt sind. Insbesondere gilt dies für Rivalitäten zwischen Brüdern. Häufige Vertauschungsepisoden und weitere Katalysatoren entfachen Konflikte, die die familiäre Kontinuität stets gefährden. Die Geschwisterriva-litäten wurden in der Forschung ausgiebig behandelt, doch die Analyse verbindender und wiederkeh-render literarischer Motive zwischen den Erzählungen wurde bisher nicht ausreichend erforscht. Daher untersucht die vorliegende Studie drei Hauptrivalitäten zwischen Brüdern in ihren literarischen Verbindungen: Kain und Abel, Jakob und Esau sowie Josef und seine Brüdern. Dabei werden beson-ders die Abschnitte analysiert, die den Ausgangspunkt, die Eskalation und die Auflösung dieser Kon-flikte behandeln. Als Ergebnis der Studie werden lexikalische und thematische Motive, sowie Motive im Handlungsverlauf zwischen den Erzählungen erarbeitet. Die beschriebenen Motive stellen ein dicht verwobenes literarisches Netzwerk zwischen den Erzählungen dar. Sie zeigen einen narrativen Span-nungsbogen auf, der vom urgeschichtlichen Brudermord zur Bruder-Vergebung geht und sich im Verlauf stets am Rande eines Brudermords bewegt Genesis is a book of family histories which are marked throughout by conflict. This applies in particular to rivalry between brothers. Frequent episodes of reversals and other catalysts ignite conflicts which continually endanger family continuity. Although sibling rivalry has been extensively addressed by the academic research, the analysis of interconnected and recurrent literary motifs among the stories has not yet been sufficiently explored. Therefore, the present study investigates the literary connections among three principal rivalries: Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau and Joseph and his brothers. This includes, in particular, the analysis of those texts which deal with the origin, escalation and resolution of these conflicts. As a result of this study, lexical and thematic motifs, as well as motifs of plot development among the stories are worked out. These motifs present a tightly interwoven narrative network among the stories. They reveal a narrative arc of suspense which ranges from the primeval fratricide to fraternal forgiveness, teetering continually on the brink of fratricide / Genesis is a book of family histories which are marked throughout by conflict.
