1	Mötet mellan fotbollssupportrar och supporterpolisen : Utifrån supportrarnas perspektiv Norberg, Daniel, Sandström, Alfred January 2023 (has links) Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur supportrar upplever mötet med polisen under fotbollsmatcher i Allsvenskan. Mötet med medborgare är en viktig del av polisens förtroendeskapande arbete och upplevelsen medborgare får kan ha konsekvenser för bilden av polismyndighetens legitimitet. Studien har en teoretisk ram bestående av processuell rättvisa och subkulturteori. Åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts för att fånga supportrarnas upplevelser av mötet med polisen. En tematisk analys av intervjuerna utfördes efter att de transkriberats. Samtliga intervjupersoner beskriver en eller flera situationer då bemötandet av polisen uppfattas som negativt. Vissa anser att polisens närvaro vid matcherna ligger på en lagom nivå medan andra anser att polisen borde lägga resurserna på annat som anses vara viktigare. Supportrarna menar att för många poliser kan trigga supportrar och skapa en aggressiv stämning. Vissa supportrar har uppfattat ett onödigt våldsanvändande från polisens sida. En bättre dialog mellan supportrar och polisen tros kunna leda till bättre förståelse parterna emellan och är därmed också en nyckel till att minska den existerande konflikten mellan dem. / The purpose of this study has been to investigate how supporters experience the encounter with the police during football matches in the Allsvenskan. The meeting with citizens is an important part of the police's trust-building work, and the experience citizens get can have consequences for the image of the police legitimacy. The study has a theoretical framework consisting of procedural justice and subculture theory. Eight semi-structured interviews have been conducted to capture the supporters' experiences of the encounter with the police. A thematic analysis of the interviews was performed after they were transcribed. All interviewees describe one or more situations where the treatment of the police is perceived as negative. Some believe that the police presence at the matches is at an adequate level, while others believe that the police should spend their resources on other things that are considered more important. The supporters believe that too many police officers can trigger supporters and create an aggressive atmosphere. Some supporters have perceived an unnecessary use of force by the police. A better dialogue between supporters and the police is believed to lead to better understanding between the parties and is therefore also a key to reducing the existing conflict between them.

2	(Im)permanent body ink: the fluid meanings of tattoos, deviance, and normativity in twentieth-century American culture Fabiani, Christina 31 August 2017 (has links) This thesis examines the symbiotic relationship between the meanings of tattoos and social norms through a comparative analysis of three distinct periods in twentieth-century American history. I use extensive archival material and an interdisciplinary approach to explain how the meanings of body ink shifted and to identify factors that influenced the public’s perceptions of tattoos as deviant or acceptable. In the 1920s and 1930s, tattooing practices among favored social groups, specifically military personnel, middle- and upper-class white men and women, and circus performers, generally received more positive reactions than those among lower-class and criminal subcultures. In the 1950s and 1960s, body ink became practiced primarily by marginalized individuals, such as criminals, bikers, and sex workers, and the general public’s understandings of tattoos as indicators of deviance and dangerous immorality strengthened. The new clientele and practitioners of the 1970s and 1980s mainly came from a high socio-economic status and reframed their tattooing practices as artistic expressions of individuality. I argue that, although body ink aesthetic by and large supported American values of patriotism, heteronormativity, and racial advantage, tattooing practices among ‘respectable’ groups were more accepted than those by ‘deviant’ subcultures. My research shows that the fluctuations between public rejection and appreciation of tattoos in these periods rested principally on the appearance and function of the inked design and on the position of the tattooed body in the social hierarchy. This thesis demonstrates that tattooing practices created and perpetuated but also destabilized and influenced gender-, race-, and class-based American ideals, and my research exposes the nuanced connections of body ink with deviance and normativity, the malleability of social conventions, and a complex web of power relations constantly in flux. / Graduate / 2018-08-23 history American history sociology deviant bodies subculture theory tattoos body ink twentieth century cultural history freak shows body modification deviance normativity
3	Ungdomsbrottslighet, en allvarlig fara? : En diskursanalys av hur unga lagöverträdare framställs i svensk nyhetsmedia / Juvenile delinquency, a serious threat? : A discourse analysis of how criminal youth is portrayed in Swedish news media. Holmer, Sara, Öberg, Niclas January 2020 (has links) Ungdomsbrottsligheten i Sverige är ett stort problem enligt svensk nyhetsmedia, och vi möts av nyhetsrapportering om att våldsbrott bland unga blir allt vanligare och att det sker att oftare. Narkotikamissbruk, vandalisering, misshandel och organiserad brottslighet är skenande hos unga lagöverträdare. Det svenska rättssystemet saknar verktygen att lösa denna situation, då ungdomskriminella ofta är återfallsförbrytare. Det är bara en tidsfråga innan du faller offer för den här kriminella vågen. Är det här den verklighet vi lever i, eller är det en verklighet som nyhetsmedia väljer att visa genom att skapa sin egen bild av verkligheten? Resultaten av denna studie visar att svensk nyhetsmedia följer en egen agenda och använder några återkommande diskurser för att uppnå detta. Genom att använda en kritisk diskursanalys kommer författarna till denna studie undersöka hur svensk nyhetsmedia beskriver unga lagöverträdare. / Juvenile delinquency is a big problem in Sweden according to the news media. The newsreports that violent crime among youths is occurring frequently, now more than ever before. Drug use, vandalism, abuse, and organized crime is rampant among the criminal youth. The Swedish justice system is powerless to resolve this issue, as reoffenders are a common occurrence among the criminal youth. It is only a matter of time before you fall victim to this criminal wave. Is this the reality we live in, or is what the news media wants to portray by constructing their own version of reality? The findings of this study show that the news media are pursuing their own agenda and are using an occurring set of discourses as their means. The authors of this study are, through a critical discourse analysis, investigating how the news media are describing the criminal youth in Sweden.

4	The importance of counter-culture in art and life Ortlieb, Paulina Elizabeth 03 February 2015 (has links) Punk rock provided not only a watershed of creativity, innovation and a do-it-yourself spirit to a culture saturated in the mainstream, it physically brought like-minded people together in a community, or rather extended family, which in today’s hyper-d.i.y. culture, is progressively declining. As early as the 1940s, theorists such as Adorno and Horkheimer warned us about alienation in a society increasingly dependent on technology. By looking to punk, and other resilient and robust counter-cultures, perhaps we can find solutions to the pitfalls of the ‘culture industry’ (Adorno, Horkheimer, 1944). My thesis, consisting of a feature-length documentary film and textual analysis, is a culmination of: ethnographic research into the punk scene in my own community; theoretical research into the sociology, ethnography and subculture theory; and my own subjectivity. My personal findings are presented to offer insight into punk philosophy and to spur discourse, rather than deliver an objective account or didactic reproach. / Graduate sub-culture music punk rock counter-culture digital age sociology Victoria BC local ethnography documentary filmmaking film studies music sociology D.I.Y musicology grounded theory etic emic qualitative research Frankfurt school subculture theory Adorno Horkheimer egalitarian democracy culture alienation community hardcore globalism internet mass culture self-identity participant observation culture industry consumerism corporatism Vancouver Island fieldwork World Wide Web freedom of expression rebellion technology constructivist subversion CCCS Chicago School nomeansno embodied oral history Somewhere to Go
