1	The Rules of the Game : A qualitative study on the informal gender power structures of Folke Bernadotte Academy Hansson, Pontus, Holgersson, Anja January 2021 (has links) Development organisations are generally believed to be fairly gender equal workplaces, with gender related issues seen as something external or foreign to the organisation. However, all organisations exist within gendered structures, and should not be considered as gender neutral or separate. Building on the theory of feminist institutionalism, this paper aims to study how informal gender power structures are experienced by employees in a development organisation, namely the Folke Bernadotte Academy. To research this, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to study the experiences and opinions of the respondents. A feminist institutionalist framework identified three areas of particular interest, “Tasks and assignments”, “Support norms” and “Interactions between employees”. After conducting interviews the information was analysed. The conclusions drawn are that FBAs employees describe experiences of some gender power structures. Most notably relating to parenting norms and logic of appropriateness. Seconded employees in general seemed to experience more gender power structures than internal employees. Additionally FBA and its employees seem to express the view that gender inequality is an external problem or that they are unaffected because their workforce is made up of a majority of women. feminist institutionalism development organisations Folke Bernadotte Academy gender power structures semi-structured interviews Globalisation Studies Globaliseringsstudier

4	Var är hon? : En kvantitativ innehållsanalys och semiotisk bildanalys ur genusperspektiv av läroböcker i historia för årskurs 4-6 / Where is she? : A quantitative content analysis and semiotic image analysis from a gender perspective of textbooks in history for grades 4-6 Edqvist, Linnea, Johnsén, Greta January 2017 (has links) This study contains an analysis of images through a gender perspective of three history text books for middle schools. The aim of this study is to clarify if the images reflect a gender power structure where men are superior women. The answered questions were: do women and men appear as often in the pictures of the books? How are women and men portrayed from a gender perspective in the pictures? What possible consequences could the portrayal of men and women cause the education and pupils? Our theoretical perspective is Yvonne Hirdman’s gender theory, Vivien Burr’s social constructionism and Ferdinand de Saussure’s and Roland Barthes’s theory about semiotics. Our methods were a quantitative content analysis combined with a qualitative semiotic analysis of images. The quantitative content analysis showed that there is an overrepresentation of men in the pictures of the books. The qualitative semiotic analysis showed that men are portrayed as main characters in the pictures. This by given more space by positions, accessories and activities. Women on the other hand is portrayed as passive and to some extent as accessories to the men. The women seem to rule in the sphere of children and home, while men seem to be absent in these same areas. Women and men are also physically separated on the images which makes the gender power structure even more clear. gender gender system gender contract gender power structures semiotics denotation connotation social constructionism kön genussystem genuskontrakt könsmaktsordning isärhållning hierarki semiotik denotation konnotation socialkonstruktionism Pedagogy Pedagogik
