Hedersrelaterat våld : En diskursanalys av hur offer och förövare av hedersrelaterat våld gestaltas i policydiskurser hos svenska förvaltningsmyndigheter / Honour-related violence : A discourse analysis of how victims and perpetrators of honorrelated violence are portrayed in policy discourses of Swedish administrative authorities

The aim of this study is to examine how victims and perpetrators of honour-related violence are portrayed in discourses of Swedish administrative authorities who have a national mission to combat honour-related violence. Carol Bacchi’s what’s the problem represented to be is used as an analytical tool together with the concept of cultural and universalist speech. This is used to analyse the problem representations on which honour-related violence is based on, how victims and perpetrators of honor-related violence are portrayed and with what consequences. The analysis shows that there are three salient problem representations: “lack of knowledge”, “failed integration” and “inadequate cooperation”. The analysis also show how victims and perpetrators of honor-related violence are portrayed in both cultural speech and universalist speech in a complex and intertwined social construction.
