Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera vilka nationaliteter som finns representerade, och hur utländskt och svenskt framställs i 12 kokböcker för barn utgivna i Sverige 1960-2014. Först gjordes en innehållsanalys för att finna lämpliga analyskategorier för att beskriva hur nationell och icke-svensk proveniens kommer till uttryck. Följande kategorier identifierades: explicit omnämnande av nationalitet, t.ex. land, världsdel eller område; delar av eller hela receptnamn på annat språk än svenska; recept med ingredienser på annat språk än svenska; informerande och förklarande text samt andra belägg som anknyter till utländskt ursprung. I ett andra steg undersöktes gestaltningen av utländskt och svenskt genom diskursanalys för att synliggöra hur normer och värderingar uttrycks diskursivt. Resultatet visar att förekommande nationaliteter överlag överensstämmer med kokböcker för vuxna under samma period, även när det gäller de kulinariska Andra. Resultatet visar också att det finns olika sätt att diskursivt uttrycka normer och värderingar om mat, länder och kulturer, vilket ibland innefattar stereotypiska föreställningar, och att barnkokboksförfattare har ett ansvar ur ett bredare didaktiskt perspektiv när de gäller dessa aspekter genom att de är förmedlare av kunskap och vänder sig till barnet som läsare. / The aim of this study is to identify which nationalities are represented, and how the foreign and the Swedish is depicted, in 12 cookbooks for children published in Sweden between 1960 and 2014. First, a content analysis was carried out in order to identify adequate analytical categories to describe how national and non-Swedish origin can be expressed. The following categories were identified: explicit mentioning of nationality such as country, continent, and other expression for specific areas; part or whole recipe names with foreign, i.e. non-Swedish words, and type of kitchen; recipes with non-Swedish names of ingredients; informative texts and explanations, and other evidence for foreign origin. Secondly, the depiction of the foreign and the Swedish was studied through discourse analysis to unveil how norms and values is expressed discursively. The study shows that the occurring nationalities overall correspond to those found in adults’ cookbooks, also in terms of the culinary Other. It also shows that there are various ways that norms and values can be expressed discursively regarding food, countries, and culture, which sometimes include stereotypical notions, and that authors of children’s cookbooks carry a responsibility regarding these aspects in a broader didactic perspective, by transmitting knowledge, and by addressing the child as a reader.

This bachelor thesis is a qualitative case study of whether the Olof Palme International Center’s (OPC) model of foreign aid, as a Swedish non-governmental organisation (NGO), is understood by leading figures of the three types of participants involved in the model; the OPC, Swedish member organisations, and, in this case, South African partner organisations, as taking either a solidarity- or charity-approach to foreign aid, in both theory and practise. The theories of Mutual Aid and International Solidarity are used to construct two opposing “solidarity” and “charity” models of foreign aid, against which the OPC model is compared. These two approaches are selected as they are most often associated with NGO foreign aid providers. The criticisms of, and suggestions for improvements to foreign aid practises are collected from aid experts and leading scholars in the field, such as Pearson (1970), the OECD/DAC, and the UN. These suggestions and criticisms are compared against both models and sorted accordingly as indicators in the analytical framework, whereby a preference among aid scholars and experts for the solidarity model is revealed. Empirical data is collected through semi-structured interviews with the involved parties and analysed through qualitative content analysis. By analysing which of the indicators in the analytical framework, belonging to the “solidarity-model” or “charity-model” were affirmed by a majority of the interviewees, it was found that both the OPC’s model and the way it is implemented, is understood by all involved parties as a solidarity model.
