I den här uppsatsen har jag valt att undersöka pressbilden av Nazitysklands erövringar av under 1938. Först det så kallade Anschluss i Österrike och sen ockupationen av delar av dåvarande Tjeckoslovakien, det så kallade Sudetenlandet. Som forskningsmaterial har jag valt att undersöka två tidningar, Social-Demokraten och Stockholms-Tidningen. Syftet har varit att försöka förstå den vilken bild en läsare fick av de här händelserna när de föregav sig samt undersöka hur tidningarna förhöll sig till sina källor och hur de beskrev frågorna kring folk och minoriteter som de här kriserna handlade om.Som utgångspunkt för min undersökning har jag anlagt ett moraliskt perspektiv som det målats upp av Klas Åmark i hans bok Att bo granne med ondskan. Jag har utfört en kvalitativ hermeneutisk studie av 135 antal artiklar jämt fördelade mellan de två tidningarna där jag dels jämfört tidningarna med varandra men även jämfört det som skrivs med vad som faktiskt skedde rent historiskt.Jag har kommit fram till att tidningarna skiljer sig markant åt i sin rapportering, Social-Demokraten presenterar en mycket negativ bild av det som sker och ger klart Nazityskland skulden för det som sker medan den bild av händelserna som Stockholms-Tidningen framför är mycket mer ”neutral” och bitvis pro-tysk.Båda tidningarna rapporterar om minoritetsfrågan, både den judiska och den sudettyska och intar olika attityder mot dessa men upphör sedan att vidare beskriva dessa minoriteters öden allt eftersom kriserna går mot sitt slut.

World War II is one of the largest historic events that we learn about in schools today. The war ended 75 years ago which means that we are left with stories, books and old news papers for information. Sweden was not an acting part in the war, it was declared neutral. Therefore, because of my interest in world war II and journalism, I want to investigate what certain news papers said about Hitlers actions a year before the invasion of Poland when world war II began. From earlier reserach I will discuss the paper Aftonbladet and in my own research I will investigate my local news paper Hallandsposten.

Abstract The present dissertation analyzes the role of the fairy tale in the literary works of the Czech author Ota Pavel. Ota Pavel (1930–1973) started as a sports reporter and later became a popular and esteemed writer of fiction, mainly short stories. His works have been translated to many languages, among them Swedish. The study consists of a biographical reading of Ota Pavel’s texts and a discussion of the function of the fairy tale in his stories. My analysis of his literary development and use of various prose elements is based on narratological theories of the fairy tale – Karel Čapek’s motifs and fairytale characters, Gérard Genette’s paratexts and Vladimir Propp’s functions and dramatis personae – and includes remarks on the function of diminutives, etc. Ota Pavel is also viewed in the context of the literary landscape of his time – the 1960s and 1970s – and the reception of his work is discussed. Pavel’s stories contain a number of characteristic features which together form his unique style: direct allusions and references to fairy tales--for example, fairies and witches – and the linguistic markers and distinctive use of the narrator’s voice. One of the most common characters in Ota Pavel’s work is the hero, who, often with the assistance of magical objects or supernatural helpers, defeats supernatural antagonists or solves impossible tasks. Developing and growing as he – the hero is usually male–strives toward his goal, Pavel’s protagonist struggles not with dragons and giants, but with himself and his own difficulties and misfortunes. Earlier research refers to Ota Pavel’s two “genres”: sports prose and retrospective, or “memory” prose. This study shows that the boundary between the two is fluid, and that all Pavel’s work might be called memory prose. The title of this thesis – Ota Pavels sagovärld (The Fairytale World of Ota Pavel) – indicates the perspective from which the subject is approached. On the one hand, it alludes to the influence of the fairy tale on Pavel’s work, while on the other it points to the fact that his own life was such that he sometimes needed to retreat into a fantasy world of his own.
