About Home and Giving Voice to Experiences of Marginalization: a femi...
Edgren, Monika Journal article in Scandinavian Journal of History;4 : Routledge Taylor & Francis (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Abstract This article explores and analyses narratives in social report-books in the context of structural rationalization during the 1960s and 1970s in Sweden, which entailed large movements of people both in Sweden and Finland (as it did in other countries of Western Europe). The characteristics of the report-books are that they claim to depict the truth and to give voices to marginalized people with the aim to contribute to social change. The analysis dwells not only on the content of the books, but also on the narrative techniques employed. It is discussed how the authors were tied to their political context and the general discourse of social critique in their rendering of voices. The main questions of this article are: whose voices were paid attention to and how was home narrated and represented? One kind of narrative content links home attachment to roots in a rural context, where home centres on reproduction of families, territorial claims and nature hugging. It is established through rhetoric of nature and timelessness, fathers passing inheritance on to their sons and a desire for a non-alienated existence in an archaic landscape. The narrative techniques used are based on an invisible narrator and on a travel narration with questions and answers. It is mainly male voices that are paid attention to. Female voices are to some extent heard but marginalized. Female bodily practices and habits are connected to positions as wives and daughters. The fisherman, the hunter, the woodlander and the farmer, are (re)presented as threatened male positions and therefore male bodies will in a near future be out of place. These narratives are framed by a patriarchal discourse where bodies are naturalized and made straight. Quite another kind of narrative content is forward-looking, dealing with voices in a suburban context. The montage as a narrative technique is systematically used there, combining text and image. The didactic montage is intended to be educational, to enlighten people with the aid of pointers. This calls for activity on the part of the reader/observer, who is supposed to be given the impression of having interpreted the meanings independently. It is based on consciousness-raising as a feminist method for change. This narrative of home is about societal participation and resenting and resisting patriarchal distinctions such as public/private. It is framed by a feminist discourse where bodies are denaturalized and orientated at finding space for the displaced body to expand.

Saveljeff, Sigrid; Kiiskinen, Jenny Malmö Studies in International Migration and Ethnic Relations;9 (2010)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract:	The strategic approaches towards radical right-wing populist parties (RRP-parties) are in focus for the thesis. The aim of the thesis is reconstruction and analysis of the content of the established parties’ strategic approaches towards parties that challenge central principles of liberal democracy, such as pluralism and tolerance, and who´s presence are creating a democratic dilemma. The aim has been operationalized within a Swedish context with focus on the strategic approaches used by the Social Democratic party and the Conservative party towards the Sweden Democrats, a Swedish RRP-party. The methodological framework is built upon a qualitative perspective with focus on interviews with representatives for the two established parties and the Sweden Democrats. The empirical material has been analysed with the PSO-theory (Position, Salience and Owner-ship theory) as point of departure. The theory shows how strategic approaches used by the established parties are related to 1) the specific political issue raised by the RRPparty and 2) the degree of threat posed by the challenging RRP-party towards the established parties. The results generated from the thesis show that the content of the strategic approaches from the established parties towards the Sweden Democrats have changed since the election 2006, and that the specific issue politicized by the Sweden Democrats, i.e. the immigration- and refugee issue, is central to the way the content of the strategic approaches used by the two established parties have been shaped.
Swedish abstract:	Etablerade partiers strategiska bemötande av radikala högerpopulistiska partier (RHP-partier) står i fokus för avhandlingen. Syftet med avhandlingen är rekonstruktion och analys av innehållet i de etablerade partiernas strategiska bemötande av partier som anses utmana centrala principer inom den liberala demokratin, såsom pluralism och tolerans, och vars närvaro också anses skapa ett demokratiskt dilemma. Syftet har operationaliserats inom ramen för en svensk kontext med fokus på Socialdemokraternas och Moderaternas strategiska bemötande av ett svenskt RHP-parti i form av Sverigedemokraterna. Det metodologiska ramverket utgår från ett kvalitativt perspektiv med fokus på intervjuer med representanter för de två etablerade partierna och Sverigedemokraterna. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats med hjälp av PSOteorin (Position, Salience and Owner-ship theory). Teorin visar hur de etablerade partiernas strategiska bemötande av RHP-partier kan relateras till 1) den specifika sakfråga RHP-partiet politiserar och 2) till vilken grad RHP-partiet hotar de etablerade partierna i fråga om väljarstöd. Avhandlingens resultat visar att innehållet i de etablerade partiernas strategiska bemötande av Sverigedemokraterna har förändrats sedan valet 2006 och att den sakfråga som Sverigedemokraterna politiserat, flykting- och invandringsfrågan, är central för utformningen av de etablerade partiernas bemötande av partiet.
