The purpose of this study is to analyze if textbooks used in Swedish for second language learners incorporate translanguaging and inclusion. The textbooks used in this study are aimed at pupils in Swedish middle school (ages 10-12). The material that we have used and analyzed are the textbooks Språkis – svenska för nyfikna C and Entré elevbok A. As a theory we chose to apply translanguaging. Our analytical starting points for this study are text- and multimodal text analysis. The questions, that this study is based upon, are “Do the textbooks express a translanguaging language vision?” and “Do the textbooks include the intended reader?”. Starting with our questions we created indicators to be able to analyze the textbooks. The indicators that we used to expose translanguaging were comparison of language, mother tongue, meta-markers (looks like, reminds of…) and fixed phrases. The indicators that were used to expose inclusion were; prior knowledge that is assumed, if minorities are noticed -in what way?, how the reader is addressed and level of difficulty in the language. The study showed that the level of prior knowledge needed to be able to use the textbooks set the textbooks apart. It also showed that neither one of the textbooks used the mother tongue as a resource for future learning. We could also see how the usage of pictures differed between the textbooks. Both textbooks, somewhat, used the pictures to support the text, but to a different extent. In conclusion the study shows that the textbook Språkis – svenska för nyfikna C, uses translanguaging and inclusion to a greater extent than Entré elevbok A does.

Sociala medier är en plattform som kantas av känslor. Samtidigt vänder sig människor dit under kriser för att dela känslor och prata med varandra. I kommentarsfältet på Gröna Lunds Instagraminlägg, där de kommunicerar efter Jetlineolyckan, 2023, händer detta. Genom en kvalitativ socialsemiotisk multimodal textanalys erbjuder fallstudien en tolkning, och bidrar till en förståelse för vilka meningsbärande element som konstruerar vilka känslor i kommentarsfältet. En teoretisk och hypotetisk diskussion förs om känslornas möjliga betydelse för organisationens legitimitet. Först och främst analyseras Gröna Lunds Instagraminlägg kvalitativt med en innehållsanalys för att belysa kontexten, och de kriskommunikationsstrategier som används. Fallstudien visar på att Gröna Lund kommunicerar under krisfasen, tar på sig hela ansvaret och latent kommunicerar känslor av skam och skuld. Med hjälp av kriskommunikationsstrategier erkänner och bekänner nöjesparken krisen, och kommunicerar därefter åtgärdande handlingar. Den vanligaste känslan som konstrueras i kommentarsfältet är känslan av ilska och sorg. Ilska tar sig i uttryck både mot Gröna Lund och mot andra Instagramanvändare. Skuld konstrueras latent i konstruktionen av ilska. Det finns även en liten mängd kommentarer som konstruerar känslan lycka. Känslan av ångest uttrycks framför allt i form av frågor och en stor ovisshet. Fallstudien visar att känslorna många gånger konstrueras av liknande lexikala val, och att olika emojis förstärker vissa konstruktioner. En mycket liten mängd emotikoner har påvisats. Den teoretiska och hypotetiska diskussionen visar att känslor som ilska, skuld och ångest potentiellt försämrar Gröna Lunds tre former av organisatorisk legitimitet. Kommentarer med känslor av lycka och hopp visar motsatsen. Ilska kan däremot både förbättra och försämra legitimiteten, beroende på vem ilskan riktas mot. Det samma gäller för legitimitetsstrategier. Känslor av lycka hopp kan ge en teoretisk fingervisning på att strategierna stärker legitimiteten. Slutligen är det av stor vikt för samhället såväl yrkeslivet att förstå hur känslor tar form, i framför allt i medier med öppna kommentarsfält, då dessa potentiellt påverkar organisationens legitimitet. / Social media is an emotional platform. At the same time, people turn to it during crises to share emotions and talk to each other. In the comments section of Gröna Lund's Instagram post, where they communicate after the Jetline accident in 2023, this happens. Through a qualitative social semiotic multimodal text analysis, the case study offers an interpretation and contributes to an understanding of which meaningful elements construct which emotions in the comment field. A theoretical and hypothetical discussion is conducted on the possible importance of emotions for organizational legitimacy. First of all, Gröna Lund's Instagram posts are analyzed qualitatively with a content analysis to highlight the context and the crisis communication strategies used. This case study shows that Gröna Lund communicates during the crisis phase, taking full responsibility and latently communicating feelings of shame and guilt. Using crisis communication strategies, the amusement park acknowledges and confesses the crisis, and then communicates remedial actions. The most common emotion constructed in the comment section is the emotion of anger and sadness. Anger is expressed both towards Gröna Lund and towards other Instagram users. Guilt is constructed latently in the construction of anger. There is also a small number of comments that construct the feeling of happiness. The feeling of anxiety is mainly expressed in the form of questions and great uncertainty. The case study shows that the emotions are often constructed by similar lexical choices, and that different emojis reinforce certain constructions. A very small number of emoticons have been detected. The theoretical and hypothetical discussion shows that emotions such as anger, guilt and anxiety potentially impair Green Lund's three forms of organizational legitimacy. Comments with feelings of happiness and hope show the opposite. Anger, on the other hand, can both enhance and detract from legitimacy, depending on who the anger is directed at. The same applies to legitimacy strategies. Feelings of happiness and hope can provide a theoretical indication that the strategies strengthen legitimacy. Finally, it is of great importance for society as well as the professional world to understand how emotions take shape, especially in media with open comment sections, as these potentially affect the legitimacy of the organization.

Employable humanists. A qualitative study on humanist students' views on employability. The crisis of the humanities is a controversial debate in the media and within academic settings. Because of lack of request for humanists in the labor market, the question of humanistic skills and employability is becoming increasingly important. The concept of employability importance not only echoes within the economic discussions, but also on everyday agenda in the academic world and takes a large part in the communication between the university and the students. It is therefore important to get answers to the question whether there is conformity in the interpretation of this concept between the university and the students. The aim of this desk study is to examine how the concept of employability has its significance in the academic communication and how the responsibility for employability is portrayed. This is done by studying how the concept of employability is formed and how the responsibilities outlined in texts from Career Center at the University of Umeå, and by comparing study results with the students' perceptions of the concept of employability and responsibility. The study has a qualitative disposition and consists of two main methods: qualitative interviews with focus groups to explore students' views, and critical linguistic analysis of texts with a focus on metaphor analysis and syntax analysis which are also supplemented by the multimodal text analysis. Results of this study indicate that the concept of employability takes a central part of the university’s communication. There are many common starting points in the interpretation of the concept and the responsibility between the university and students. Both the Career Center at Umeå University and students believe that actual knowledge, skills, experience as well as network forms the meaning of the concept of employability, and has a big importance in the student’s position on the job market. However, because the students look at the use of the concept of employability in the texts as acceptance to the social ideological perception of the individual as objects, there is some criticism of the use of the term employability in the university’s communications.
