En kritisk diskursanalys av Språkporten 1 2 3 och Kontext 1 2 3

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of female and male authors from a genderperspective and how different cultures and ethnicities were represented in three textbooks: SpråkportenSvenska som andraspråk 1 2 3, Kontext Svenska som andraspråk 1 and Kontext Svenska som andraspråk2-3. I have chosen to use a critical discourse analysis to answer my questions. The method is based onNorman Fairclough`s model, which consists of three dimensions: text, discursive practice and socialpractice. The results showed an uneven distribution among female and male authors in all three textbooksmentioned above. Cultures and ethnicities other than Swedish were mentioned to a limited extent. Thecontent of the textbooks was often about differences between groups, while similarities between groupswere given a limited space. Descriptions of other cultures and ethnicities were in some cases one-sided andstereotyped. There were also tendencies towards a we and them discourse where the Swedish we was setagainst the non-Swedish them.
