This study examines communicative strategies of short-term lenders online, focusing on verbal languageand pictures. The method is a combination of discoursetheory and semiotic theory. The empiricalmaterial consists of selected parts from five corporate websites. Words as “quickly and simple”permeates the entire material. It can almost be regarded as a corporate trademark and business concept.The concept of "quick and simple" includes a radical approach to credit assessment and credit historywhich is also used to position themselves against traditional banks. Customers are portrayed asunlucky figures with urgent bills and a salary that is not enough. It is emphasized that the loan is smalland therefore should not be linked with security, credit review by the UC or non-payment records.Loan application is a rapid process in three steps which are completed within minutes. The customer isoffered to assume certain identities which includes positions of disadvantage and innocence.A common denominator is responsibility, which the customer is disclaimed from. Possible conflictsoccurs when identities collide with each other, such as when the customer is encouraged to think twicebut as soon as possible hit the button of the colorful loan offer on the website's front page. Companiesstrives to maintain a certain "story" about themselves, the customers and the loans. Some signs areconnected and some excluded to create clarity in the discourse. short term loan payday loan discoursetheory semiotics Snabblån smslån diskursteori semiotik Media and Communications Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap

The object of study is the Mayor of Örebro, Staffan Werme and the position connected to that post. I’ve used the method “shadowing”, and I’ve been following the Mayor in every physical room that he appears in for nearly two weeks. The aim is too see which subject-position that the Mayor ascribes to in those different rooms, and also how the concept of power is used.</p> Michel Foucault discoursetheory Mayor Örebro Chantal Mouffe Ernesto Laclau shadowing power politic.
