Pirfält, Tim, Boukachabia, Sebastian January 2015 (has links) I denna uppsats har målet varit att försöka skapa en uppfattning om hur lärare säger sig resonera kring styrdokumentens skrivningar om Sveriges nationella minoriteter, hur de hävdar att deras förkunskaper i ämnet ser ut och sedermera hur de säger sig planera och utföra undervisningen kopplat till minoriteterna. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sju högstadielärare - tre svensklärare och fyra samhällskunskaps- och historielärare har vi kommit fram till att endast en av de intervjuade lärarna har fått med sig någon kunskap om de nationella minoriteterna från sin lärarutbildning. Detta har lett till att lärarna fått inhämta kunskaper på eget håll. Resultatet visar att alla lärarna i studien säger sig undervisa om minoriteterna, men upplägget på undervisningen ser olika ut sett till innehåll och var det får plats i terminsplaneringen. Mycket beror på klassens komposition då flera av lärarna väljer att styra undervisningens innehåll mot det som känns relevant för demografin i klassrummet. En annan viktig aspekt i vad som styr innehållet är lärarens egna kunskaper och tolkning om vad som är relevant för ämnet. Lärarnas gemensamma uppfattning är att det är ett viktigt område och att det är viktigt för eleverna att lära sig om minoriteterna och deras historia. Respondenterna försöker arbeta interkulturellt och lägger stor vikt vid etik och moral i undervisningen; att ha empati och förståelse för minoriteterna anser lärarna vara något av det viktigaste med undervisningen. Det är därför inte ovanligt att lärarna hävdar att de inkluderar arbetet om minoriteterna i områden som handlar om etik och moral och det är en gängse uppfattning att ämnesöverskridande arbete är att föredra. minoritet skola romani jiddisch meänkieli finska samiska romer judar tornedalingar
2	Synliga eller osynliga? : En kvalitativ textanalys om hur Sveriges nationella minoritetsgrupper framställs i läroböcker för SO-ämnena Huuhka, Johanna, Kreku, Lina January 2020 (has links) Den här studien har haft som syfte att genom en undersökning belysa och beskriva hur Sveriges fem nationella minoritetsgrupper framställs i historia-, religions-, geografi- och samhällskunskapsböcker. Tidigare forskning inom fältet har konstaterat att fakta om Sveriges nationella minoritetsgrupper i läroböcker till stora delar är bristfällig och bygger delvis på schablonartade stereotyper. Studien tar avstamp i de teoretiska utgångspunkterna följemeningar (Östman, 2008; 2015), skolan som anti-diskriminerande praktik (Kumashiro, 2000) samt andrafiering (Kamali, 2005; MacQuarrie, 2010; Krumer-Nevo & Sidi, 2012). Genom en kvalitativ textanalys av åtta aktuella läroböcker besvarades den här studiens frågeställningar om i vilken mån fakta förekommer och vilken fakta som lyfts fram om Sveriges nationella minoritetsgrupper samt om och i så fall vilka uttryckssätt som används för att skriftligt minska andrafiering. Resultatet visade bland annat att det är en begränsad mängd fakta som förekommer, vilket även tidigare forskning om äldre läroböcker visat. Judar och samer är de minoritetsgrupper som är mest synliga medan sverigefinnar och tornedalingar är nästintill osynliga.

3	MED RÖTTERNA DÄR UPPE : En studie om identitetsförändring hos tornedalingar / Rooted up there Boström, Anders, Ekersund, Jonathan January 2020 (has links) Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur identitet och processer av identitetsförändring påverkas av uppfattningar om platser och en regional flytt. Detta med fokus på Tornedalingar som har flyttat bort från Tornedalen. För att uppnå detta syfte intervjuades fyra utflyttade tornedalingar, varpå datamaterialet analyserades genom tematisk analys. I likhet med tidigare forskning som har visat att rötter är av stor vikt för människors identitet, visar den här studiens huvudslutsatser att rötter även är av stor vikt för tornedalingars identitet och förhållningssätt. Slutsatserna påvisar även att en flytt från Tornedalen i sig inte nödvändigtvis påverkar identiteten, men kan leda till att individer träder in i nya sociala sammanhang som i sin tur kan kopplas till identitetsförändring. identitet identitetsförändring platsidentitet regional identitet kollektiv identitet personlig identitet social identitet Tornedalen tornedalingar platsanknytning Sociology Sociologi
4	Islossning : Relationen mellan svenska staten och kvänerna 1960-200 / Debacle : The Relation Between the Swedish State and the Kvens 1960-2000 Fjällborg, Anna January 2023 (has links) Author: Anna Fjällborg Title: Debacle: the Relation Between the State of Sweden and the Kvens 1960-2000. The purpose if this study is to investigate the relation between the State of Sweden and the minority Kvens in the years 1960- 2000 and to learn who the Kvens are. This include the investigation of what distinguish a National Minority in Sweden. This study uses the theoretical concepts of Nation, Nationalism, Identity and Etnicity as a base and it also includes a brief history of the relation between the Swedish State and the Kvens 1809-1950. The sources for this are Public Prints from the Swedish Government and Newspaper articles, all from the period 1960- 2000. Kvens are a collective name for the minorities Kvens, Tornedalingar and Lantalaiset. Differences and similarities among those Minority groups is something that this study investigate. The name Kvens also includes Kvens in Norway, Finland and Russia. The Kvens share history, langauge, culture and traditions over the borders. 1840- 1950 was a hard time for the Kvens because the Swedish State was using coercive methods to make the Kvens to good Swedish citizens which included speaking only Swedish and live according to Swedish culture and traditions. The nationalism was strong and the State believed in one nation, one language and one etnicity. Generations of Kvens got wounds and scars and was ashamed of who they where and today a majority of them can´t talk there own language Meänkieli. In 1995 the Framework Convention for Protection of National Minorities from the Council of Europe shed a light of how the Swedish State deals with the Kvens and pointed out that it is important that the Kvens gets protection. As a result of the Convention Sweden decided that the Kvens, in terms of Tornedalingar, are a National Minority and Meänkieli is a Minority Language. The Framework Convention led the way to fast changes for the better. When this study is written the State of Sweden has decided to investigates its historical treatment of the Kvens in form of a Truth- and Reconciliation Commission which make the topic of this study both relevant and up to date. The relationship between the State of Sweden and the Kvens has steadily improved since the 1980´s and the Framework Convention has helped in many ways. This study tells us what the Framework Convention includes and which amendments Sweden has done to implement it,which became a reality in the year 2000.

Wikander, August January 2024 (has links) The aim of this study is to analyze teachers' perceptions of the changes made by the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) to the central content of the courses History 1a1 and 1b for Gy25. The focus has been directed towards the central content concerning the national minorities. The study is based on John I. Goodlad's curriculum theory, Curriculum Inquiry. Through qualitative interviews with five upper secondary school history teachers, empirical data has been collected. Subsequently, a variant of qualitative content analysis has been used to review the material and answer the study's research questions, which are: - How do teachers perceive the inclusion of the five national minorities in the subject curriculum's central content? - How do teachers connect these changes in the central content to the societal context? - How do teachers perceive that this will affect their course design? The results show that the interviewed teachers have different opinions of how big of a role the national minorities should have in the central content and in Swedish history education. Most teachers consider the Sami people to have a logical place in Swedish history education, while the other minorities are given varying and lesser roles. All teachers connect the central content to current events and political trends in today's society. Teachers show varying opinions on the extent to which the central content on national minorities will change their teaching. Some argue that it will occupy a significant portion of their respective course, while others argue that it will only change the examples they provide and the parallels they draw in their current teaching. Based on the teachers' reasoning, the study demonstrates how different interpretations can be made from the same curriculum based on the teachers' own experiences and circumstances. minoriteter samer sverigefinnar tornedalingar judar romer centralt innehåll läroplan uppfattad läroplan verkställd läroplan lärares åsikter historia History Historia
6	Tornedalens kulturella gränser : En studie av Norrbottens museum och Tornedalens museums hantering av det tornedalska kulturarvet / The Cultural Boundaries of Torne river valley: : A study of Norrbottens museum and Tornedalens museum’s handling of the tornedalian cultural heritage. Asp, Evelina, Pettersson Juntti, Emma January 2023 (has links) Introduction: This thesis investigates how two regional museums, Tornedalens museum in Finland and Norrbottens museum in Sweden handles the cultural heritage of Tornedalen (Torne River Valley) and the tornedalian culture. The aim of the study is to understand how place, cultural heritage and nationality work together regarding visibility and dissemination of knowledge. The focus of this study surrounds the demarcations between the Finnish and Swedish side of Tornedalen, where the two regional museums with belonging archives are explored and compared. Method: In this study, ten interviews with a total of 12 participants were conducted, five at Tornedalens museum and five att Norrbottens museum, as well as field studies at both museums. The participants hold positions as archivists, educators, antiquarians, archeologists and managers at the museums. The interviews were taped and transcribed, and notes were taken during the field studies. Analysis: The theoretical and analytical framework consists of critical heritage discourse. Additional theoretical concepts are place, representation, identity, demarcations, narration and performativity. Results: the two museums portrait and relate to the tornedalian region and culture in different ways. Tornedalens museum portrait the partition of Tornedalen into two separate nations, and how this affected the lives of people living in the region and does to this day. The museum also represents a narrative that does not divide Swedish tornedalians from Finnish tornedalians and uses Tornio River as a symbol of unity. At Norrbottens museum, this narrative is not represented. Here, the linguistic oppression that Swedish tornedalians, lantalaiset and kvens were subject to is highlighted, as well as questions concerning how people and cultures in Norrbotten are united and share a common history and cultural heritage. This is a two-year master’s thesis in archival science and museology and cultural heritage science.

7	Låg panna, ljusa ögon : En raskritisk läsning av Stina Aronsons Hitom himlen (1946) / Low forehead, light eyes : A critical reading on the construction of race in Stina Aronson’s novel This Side of Heaven (1946) Karlsson, Linnéa January 2022 (has links) Stina Aronson (1892–1956) is a celebrated Swedish modernist who published twenty-five works during the first part of the 20th century. Her writings are considered to be progressive and ethical due to extensive feminist and eco-critical research. Aronson’s novel Hitom himlen(This Side of Heaven, 1946) captures the life in upper Northern Sweden, in the Torne Valley, during the beginning of 20th century. In this thesis, I examine the narrative by placing it in relation to the racial hierarchies permeating society during the initial decades of the 20th century. The Finnish-speaking minority living in the Torne Valley came to be considered racially different from the national majority, due to national and international race science – today understood as scientific racism– and anthropology. My analysis shows how the characters are racialized using such ideas as the Mongolian theory and the cephalic index. It is further made evident that the novel captures a perception claiming the so-called ‘Finns’ were of an inferior race. And further, the belief that a mixture of Swedish, Finnish and Sami blood had weakened the group genetically. The mixture of races was defined as a serious threat to the Swedish population, who was regarded as the whitest and purest population on earth. Aronson captures this belief of a future extinction by depicting the death and illness of the youngest generation in the novel. Furthermore, the main character, Emma Niskanpää, believes that she meets God during the church service at the yearly holiday Marie bebådelsedag. I argue though, that the man she encounters is a fictitious Herman Lundborg (1868–1943), the most prominent of the Swedish race biologists, who, in reality, repeatedly performed skull measurement during this celebration. Directly following on this encounter, the ”deaf-and-dumb” daughter of the family Renström is buried along with several others and Emma Niskanpää’s son falls ill with tuberculosis. In this way, the novel captures the racial surveys carried out on minority groups– surveys which are today considered a national trauma. In This Side of Heaven, Stina Aronson turns into literature a specific form of racism and a forgotten part of Swedish history as a pioneering country in the formulation of race hierarchies.

8	Det felaktiga folket : Svenska kyrkans roll i försvenskningen av kvänerna 1840–1950 / The Faulty People : The Role of the Church of Sweden during the Assimilation Policy against the Kvens 1840–1950 Fjällborg, Anna January 2024 (has links) This thesis is about the Assimilation Policy against the minority Kvens in the years 1840-1950. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate which role the Church of Sweden played in the assimililation and what made bishops and priests to take this role. The base is the theoretical concepts of nation and nationalism, identity and etnicity, minority and majority and authority. This study is mainly a collocation of previous research. In november 2023, the Swedish state finished a commissionwork about the Assimilation Policy against the Kvens and gave an account for the discrimination, excesses and assimilation from the state and the Church of Sweden against the Kvens. (SOU 2023:68) That work is the main source in this thesis. During the investigated period, the church was intertvined with the state which made it a part of the nationalistic endeavor to make every person in Sweden a good citizen and a good Evangelic-Lutheran Christian. The church contributed in coercive methods such as language compulsion to teach every person Swedish, Racial biology and Eugenics and to make the Kvens change place for worship. The only approved language in both the state and the church was Swedish and this enforced the Kvens to learn a new language and stop using their own minority language Meänkieli. It started with the children, but with time every Kven was affected by the Assimilation Policy. The Religious Revivial movement the Laestadianism became a safe haven for the Kvens because during their services Meänkieli was allowed. Thanks to the Laestadianism the Kvens could continue to meet Kvens in Finland and Norway in a transnational community. Both the Swedish state and the Church of Sweden felt treatened by this transnational community which they feared was a threat to the nation and the homogenization. The church became a part of the nationalistic struggle to make Sweden strong and independent. Both the state and the church believed in "one nation–one language–one church". A strong nation was homogenous with all citizens sharing in traditions, history, religion and language of the majority. The Kvens were faulty people according to race, language and worship. The period with Assimilation Policy is a dark chapter in the history of both the Kvens and the Church of Sweden.

9	Representationen av Tornedalen : En kvalitativ diskursanalys av en svensk minoritet i riksmedia / The Representation of Tornedalen : A Qualitative Discourse Analysis of a SwedishMinority in National Media Lundblad, Andreas, Wettainen, Ebba January 2023 (has links) This study aims to investigate the representation of the region Tornedalen and tornedalians, a Swedish minority, in national news media through a critical discourse analysis. Despite being recognized as a national minority, tornedalians have reported a lack of media coverage, which can lead to feelings of invisibility and discrimination. News media has a significant impact on what we discuss and think about, and they have the responsibility to provide a broad representation of society, including its diversity. However, historically, minority groups have been overlooked or devalued in news media, which can have consequences for marginalized groups lacking significant power, including minorities. Therefore, this study seeks to deepen the understanding of the media’s impact on society’s perception of the minority. The study analyzes how power structures and ideologies shape their representation, interpreted from a post-structuralist perspective, using concepts such as producers/consumers, positioning, otherness, subaltern, and cultural identity. The study’s findings suggest that Tornedalen is often represented as a peripheral and exoticized place, reinforcing the idea of a homogeneous Swedish identity. Tornedalians are often positioned as “the other” with their cultural practices and language being portrayed as inferior or irrelevant. Journalistic practices play a crucial role in shaping knowledge and understanding of minority groups such as tornedalians, and the study highlights the need for news media to provide a more diverse and accurate representation of society. The study also suggests areas for further research, such as investigating how different audiences interpret and react to news articles, and how Tornedalen and tornedalians are represented in public service media. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of how news media shapes society’s perception of minorities and highlights the importance of providing a diverse and accurate representation of society.
