Syftet med denna studie är att analysera spoken word texter för att undersöka vardagsproblem i dagens svenska förorter och vetenskapliggöra de sociala kontexterna till de olika vardagsverkligheterna som beskrivs i texterna. Vidare syfte är även att se vilken betydelse poesi och spoken word kan ha för människor i utsatta områden, samt på vilket sätt kan spoken word öka dessa människors känslor av delaktighet och erkännande. För att uppnå syfte har det genomförts narrativ metod för tolkandet av sju spoken word texter. Vid tolkning av texterna har det använts en intersektionell analys. Även en intervju har genomförts för att få djupare förståelse för studiens bakgrund. Analysen av empirin kommer att ha sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i begreppet vardagsverklighet och de olika strukturerna som formar ramarna till de olika vardagsverkligheterna. Mikropolitiska aktiviteter kommer även att analyseras som ett sätt att göra motstånd i det vardagliga livet, och för att förstå motstånd i relation till makt så har denna studie utgått ifrån Foucaults maktperspektiv. Resultatet visar att poeternas vardagsverkligheter präglas av postkoloniala samhällsstrukturer och att de jämnt bemöter fördomar från det övriga samhället. Intersektionell analys på maktstrukturer blir användbar då det visar sig att tjejerna inte känner sig hörda och sedda i förort som för killar symboliserar trygghet. Spoken word ökar inte bara självreflektion och känslan av empowerment men kan även bli ett sätt att göra motstånd mot dessa strukturer och visa en motbild till den bilden av förorter som resten av samhället har.

The aim of this study was to examine Swedish hiphop-artists’ view on conditions in the suburbs and to find out what their music represent, and to reach an understanding about whether social movements exist in suburbs. The study was based on qualitative interviews with hiphop-artists’ whose music had a connection to suburbs. The artists had different ages, gender and residential area. Six of the interviews were conducted through video calls and one of them through a physical interview. The questions were made up through a framework before the interviews and our choice of interview approach enabled us to ask additional questions. The result showed that the conditions in the suburbs were characterized by community and love. It also showed that residents had difficulties because of their life choices and it affected their possibilities regarding to school and work. Further the hiphop-artists’ music was described as a reality portrayal or as a way to express their feelings. Some of them also felt responsible as role models, wanted to affect others, had the music as an interest and some just wanted to convey real experiences. The analysis was based on Eyerman and Jamison (2005) perspective about social movements, which means that a group collectively joins and acts to change existing conflicts and problems in society. As a conclusion the hiphop-artists’ experience racism from the society which affect them and their music. Another conclusion is that it exists a social movement in the suburbs and can be understood by the hiphop-artists’ descriptions of the suburbs conditions.

Sveriges förorter har gått från att vara föredömen för social jämlikhet till att lyftas fram som skräckexempel både nationellt och internationellt. Detta beror delvis på händelser som upplopp, bilbränder och skjutningar, som har florerat i de så kallade utsatta områdena de senaste åren. Framställningen av händelser kan ge uttryck för olika typer av föreställningar och kan tänkas bidra till att skapa utsatta områden, genom att konstruera dem som sådana i hur de framställs. Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa hur upploppet i Rinkeby 2017 framställs och används i media. För att belysa detta undersöker vi hur framställningen konstrueras och vilka maktuttryck som kan tänkas finnas i framställningen. Därför undersöks här inte bara nyhetsrapporteringen om händelsen, utan hur artiklarna efteråt såg ut och i vilka sammanhang som händelsen användes som ett argument för något. Den kritiska diskursanalysen användes som metod för att analysera framställningen av upploppet i de fyra största svenska tidningar i Sverige: Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet, Expressen och Svenska Dagbladet. Med hjälp av den kritiska diskursanalysen, det socialkonstruktivistiska ramverket och teorin om hegemoni, analyserades tidningarnas framställning och användning av händelsen. Studiens resultat visar att framställningen av upploppet i Rinkeby främst bestod av åsiktsartiklar och reportage, och konstruerades av journalister, politiker, polisen och lokalbefolkningen, men på olika sätt. Händelseförloppet vid upploppet skiljer sig åt på centrala punkter, vilket tyder på att det dels konstruerades olika framställningar och dels inte var helt klart vad som hände. Studien kom även fram till att det finns tecken på makt i framställningen av upploppet genom sättet som området Rinkeby beskrivs i samband med upploppet och det stora utrymme politiker fick att använda upploppet för politiska ändamål. På så sätt tycks framställningen av händelser i förorter konstruera olika typer av föreställningar som kan bidra till att konstruera området som ett utsatt område.

Studien intresserar sig för nyhetsmediernas konstruktion av de platser som benämns som no go-zoner i artiklarna. Uppsatsen behandlar tryckta artiklar från Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressenoch Svenska Dagbladetunder en fyraårig period, 28 oktober 2014 till 28 oktober 2018. Syftet är att analysera hur så kallade no go-zoner konstrueras i svensk morgon- och kvällspress, med avsikten att vidare analysera och diskutera hur journalistiken gestaltar annorlundaheter (otherness) och svenskhet samt undersöka huruvida rasism uttrycks i artiklarna. Frågeställningarna berör hur no go-zonerna representeras i artiklarna, hur identiteter konstrueras, vilka framträdande teman som återfinns samt vilka platser som är mest återkommande i materialet. För att besvara frågeställningarna genomförs inledningsvis en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av hela materialet i syfte att kartlägga materialets omfattning. Vidare görs en kritisk diskursanalys inspirerad av Norman Faircloughs tredimensionella analysmodell. I den kvalitativa textanalysen görs en närläsning av fyra artiklar. Teorier hämtade från framförallt Stuart Hall används för att identifiera hur kultur och identitet konstrueras i artiklarna. För att identifiera stereotyper används teorier hämtade från Richard Dyer, Stuart Hall och Ylva Brune. Teun A. van Dijks teorier om vår tids nya rasism används dels för att identifiera hur kulturella skillnader uttrycks i gestaltandet av no go-zoner, samt för att sätta texten i ett socialt sammanhang. Studien visar att våld och kriminalitet är det mest framträdande temat, samt Sverigebilden och motstånd är återkommande. Hur begreppet no go-zoner används i tidningsartiklarna för att beskriva vissa områden kan förstås som ett retoriskt verktyg för att reducera en redan ojämlik maktfördelning men också för att bekräfta det som inte är no go-zon.

<p>The emerging Swedish suburbs of the 1960- 1970s started out as a utopian vision: a new city for the modern people. Media presented a different view and emphasized the inhuman livingenvironment and the social problems of the suburbs. Nationwide there have been local attempts to avoid this negative publicity by adjusting identified suburban problems. Due to medial presentation the suburbs are still associated with segregation, criminality and social problems. The presentation of suburbs and immigrants affects not only the process of integration and the general public idea of integration processes, but also the individual perception of themselves and their living. Media have opened on to a collective discrimination of the neighborhood and its inhabitants. This essay aim to contribute to the understanding of how identities arise and are maintained when people are associated with certain geographical spaces, that is suburbs. The majority of the Swedish study of suburban discrimination and segregation takes place in the periphery off ocused on Andersberg, a suburb in a smaller city called Halmstad. It is a typical high-rise, concrete suburb with a high density of immigrants and unemployment. This essay has studied the power structures in the language regarding Andersberg, to discover the discriminating construction of suburban otherness.

In this study we examine five selected media organisations with different forms of production platforms that all appear in Stockholm's southern and western suburbs, which are part of the million-construction project. Their stated ambition is to present an alternative image of the suburbs than that found in mainstream media. They want to portray themselves instead of constantly being described by others. The purpose of the study is to gain a better understanding of the reason for the emergence of these media, their visions according to the media producers themselves, and how they relate to mainstream media. The study is based on a theoretical framework that focuses on diverse approaches of alternative media and the journalists' role in a democratic society. The wide data analysis from qualitative informant interviews, with small observations as a complement, showed results indicating criticism against the misrepresentation of Stockholm suburbs in mainstream media. Furthermore the results show that the overall dissatisfaction of this misrepresentation is one of the main reasons why the different media, which are both represented by citizens and journalists, were founded. The founders saw their work either as a reaction to this misrepresentation or as a way to fill a gap in their community. The local papers we visited embraced the notion of citizen journalism, which proved to be a part of filling the mentioned gap, while other organisations expressed political goals. In summary, there were similarities between the media organisations in terms of problem definition as well as differences in how they approached these problems. Furthermore the analysis confirmed the democratic shortage that is experienced in these areas, and that these media therefore are trying to oppose. They provide the local community they operate in with news, information and opinion, but they also aim to be a platform for participation and discussion.

In my essay, I write about the work at a pre-school in a segregated suburb. I begin my essay with examples from my workday. In one case, it is about Sara, playing games where other children are excluded and she also exhibits a power game towards me. In the second example, it is about how a group of children conspire and expose both themselves and others for destructive conspiracy patterns. When I write down what happens in the group of children at my pre-school, I see patterns reminiscent of destructive gangs. I reflect about whether I am witnessing that my preschooler is in the preliminary stage of youth gangs with destructive patterns. The purpose of my essay is that for my own sake, and from a social perspective to provides deeper understanding of the causes that can generate power game and conspiracy patterns in children in segregated neighborhoods. I also describe how it can be to work in a kindergarten in a segregated suburb. M y questions are what happen to children when norms in the home are in conflict with the norms of the preschool. The norms in the homes may also be an illegal act in Sweden, when punishment and spanking occurs. Children may be in a conflict of loyalties when they know that parents may not spank their children in Sweden, but still do it. I examine whether there may be negative factors in the family's integration that allows contexts do not meet in a positive direction, and therefore can cause cultural clashes. I start from my own experiences as child-minder in the suburbs during twenty five years. I do this by writing the essay, I reflect on my own thoughts, but also through reflective conversations with others. To obtain scientific perspective on my research, I have chosen as the starting point to the support of other studies in ethnological and sociological aspects. I have come to the conclusion that there may be several reasons for pre-school children of my workplace to act as they do. One reason that I think is important is that families in my pre-school are segregated in the segregation, their meetings consisting mostly of their own countrymen and relatives. The majority of parents have no work and their contact with the Swedish society is done by the authorities and at the pre-school. I have met families where parents have lived in Sweden for twenty years, but still have limited language in Swedish. I have also seen that there is an aversion to the "Swedish" and that there is a conscious choice to refrain from it.
