1	Att prata om ras : En diskursanalys av rasbegreppet i nutida svensk dagspress Dufberg, Amanda January 2021 (has links) Race is a concept that is often avoided in Sweden, and many try to detach present day racism from the antiquated racial biology by not discussing race. To Talk About Race: A Discourse Analysis of the concept of race in present day Swedish daily press aims to investigate how ”race” (in Swedish: ”ras”) is articulated in Swedish daily press within the debate about whether the word “race” should be used or not. The study focuses on looking into which arguments are presented in articles that are in favour of using the word “race” in Sweden as well as which power relations are made visible or invisible through the language that is used within the debate. The empirical material is discursively analysed with guidance from theoretical framework consisting of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s discourse theory as well as postcolonial theory. The results of the study show that the writers of the articles distinctively disagree with earlier discourses of race as racial biology, and instead articulate a discourse of race as a social construct. The use of the word “race” in Swedish daily press is often argued for with reference to the existence of biological racism in Sweden and how discussing the concept of race and using the word “race” can enable to talk about and counteract those problems. In the articles power relations such as those between white and non-white people can be see, as well as between Swedish people and non-white non-Westerners. race racism racial biology social construct discourse ras rasism rasbiologi social konstruktion diskurs Gender Studies Genusstudier

Between 1928 and 1932, this organization transformed from a purely gymnastic and cultural association into an influential platform for the production of Swedish nationalist ideology. Based on theories of National Socialism’s formation within modern society, the analysis focus on the conditions regulating Gymniska Förbundets relation to modernity. Thus the study examines the association’s ideas in relationship to the concept of modernity. The analysis shows that the ideological fusion between ideas regarding gymnastics and culture on one hand, and of Swedish racial biologyon the other, provided the conditions needed for an alternative vision of modernity, similar to that which international research has characterized as the blut und boden-ideology. By presenting how and in what ways the Swedish blut und boden-ideology emerged and took shape, the study contributes to the research on the party-politically independent National Socialist ideology in Sweden. Furthermore, the analysis reveals networking strategies and idea transfer within the ideological movement based on wider applications of ideas concerning racial biology.

3	Searching for Svea Rike Hallstensson, Filippa January 2022 (has links) 2030 marks the 100-year anniversary of The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 and what is often described as an important breakthrough of modernism in Sweden. The “special exhibition” Svea Rike - with the task of strengthening the national identity- has not been given the same attention as other exhibition halls in The Stockholm Exhibition in architectural history. Svea Rike was not part of the initial plans of The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 and is therefore missing in the early and most published plans and models of the exhibition. Exterior and interior photographs of the special exhibition disclose parts of Svea Rike but it’s never entirely uncovered. In the Svea Rike pavilion at The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 the development of Sweden was shown in a full picture and near the entrance, Herman Lundborg, Head of the State Institute for Racial Biology in Uppsala presented his work on typical racial descriptions and the significance of heritage through photographs, sculptures, and illustration. To see the building Svea Rike is also to see how race and modernity are interconnected and central in the history. Through careful research into archives and collections, examining drawings, photographs, objects, correspondence and other texts, this project aims to find out what the building Svea Rike looked like. Through reading, investigating, approximating, drawing, and model, information is overlapped and a reconstruction of Svea Rike offers a way to see the Stockholm Exhibition from the building Svea Rike.

4	Rasdefinition i förändring : En kvalitativ textanalys av svenska uppslagsverks framställning av folk (ras) i Afrika, Asien och Orienten, under perioden 1845-2020 Andersson, Jesper January 2020 (has links) The use of encyclopedias has since their entry in Sweden, played a central role in communicating and defining knowledge to society. This essay examines the representation of peoples (race) in Africa, Asia and the Orient in encyclopedias between 1845-2020. The essay aims to explain and show how several selected concepts have changed in the encyclopedias’ descriptions over time in Sweden. The results show that the encyclopedias were highly influenced by racial biology and scientific racism the further back in time the encyclopedias were issued. People from Africa, Asia and the Orient were described with external characteristics and at times associated with different psychic characteristics. Through the representation of appearance, at times presented as different and foreign, one can see a construction between “we” and “the others”. The encyclopedias also made descriptions of people with generalizing derogatory concepts that were imbued by racism and dogmatic views on the different. Descriptions of peoples appearance and character traits were something that gradually disappeared over time. encyclopedia race peoples Africa Asia the Orient postcolonialism Loomba Said racial biology orientalism other the Other uppslagsverk lexikon uppslagsbok encyklopedi ras folk folkslag Afrika Asien Orienten postkolonialism Loomba Said rasbiologi orientalism Andra de Andra History Historia
5	”Den är den enda räddningen för Europas kulturfolk – varken mer eller mindre” : En komparativ studie av svenska tidningars framställningar av Rasbiologi 1919–1958 / “It is the only salvation for Europe’s cultural people – no more no less” : A comparative study of Swedish newspapers’ representations of Racial Biology 1919–1958 Svensson, Hanna January 2021 (has links) This dissertation examines two daily newspapers’ representations of eugenics from the incipient racial biological investigation 1919 until 1958, and the State Institute for Racial Biology is reorganized. The dissertation also aims to examine whether there are any distinct turning points where the newspapers distance themselves from the ideas and the research of eugenics. The analysis material is based on newspaper articles from two national dailies, i.e., Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The theoretical framework and method are based on Fairclough’s discourse theory and analysis to observe and elucidate how eugenics is represented over a longer period of time. The conclusion of the dissertation is that the newspapers continuously designate racial biology as something unique and being the salvation from degeneration until Herman Lundborg resigns as head of the institute. After Gunnar Dahlberg took over the managerial position the activities at the Institute changed course and the research undertaken there became engaged in medical genetics and social medicine instead of racial biology. The main argument for the establishment of the institute was that it would provide protection for the Swedish race. The norms and attitudes were more about the science and somewhat about nationalism, while what we now call racism did not seem to be included at all. The discourses about racial biology that have arisen have been maintained in society through the newspapers, as the recipients have been continuously fed with praiseworthy and warning words. This fits with Foucault’s reasoning and theory which he clarifies the fact that discourses are conditioned by how society discusses about something that over time has been an influence on how people are classified or treated by the newspapers that maintains it.
