Ice covers ten percent of the earth’s surface, seven percent of its oceans and is currently dominating the visual landscape as a key theme of climate communication in the media. Focusing on representations of climate change that implement ice as a key motif, this thesis postulates why and how climate discourse shapes, and is shaped by, the technological, social and institutional production of imag

During the war in Bosnia in the 1990s, and the Wars of Yugoslav Succession more widely, ‘balkanist’ views, which hold the people of the Balkans as backwards and violent, were widespread in debates in the UK. Using theories of ‘balkanism’ as developed by scholars such as Maria Todorova, Andrew Hammond, and Lene Hansen this thesis explores how the countries heavily involved in the Bosnian War–Serbi
The article is a discussion of works by two Danish composers who both, with self-constructed instruments challenge computer music both as genre, the understanding and use of conventional technology and the relation to history. At first glance, the use of the homemade instruments appears as a common characteristic. But, when one takes a closer look, different discourses and various discussions of m
Studies on food media rarely engage with the visual aspects. If it does it is mostly concerning cookbooks, television and film. This thesis will take another approach by examining food media on YouTube, through the YouTube channel Buzzfeed and their series “Worth it”. Through the theoretical concepts of spectacle, food porn and culinary capital the thesis Worth it? – A visual reading of spectacle,

The Swedish radiologist Torsten Almén is the first clinical radiologist ever to have made a fundamental contribution to intravascular contrast medium design, the development of non-ionic contrast media. He became emotionally triggered by the patients' severe pain each time he injected the ionic "high-osmolar" contrast media when performing peripheral arteriographies in the early 1960s. One day he
From the horizons of media and communication studies, this article begins with the premise that the media, and the in particular theWeb, as central features of a turbulent late modernity. The Web has become ubiquitous and central to our sense of who we are, how we live, think, relate to others and experience the world. This process of mediatization is complex and historically without parallel; it
This thesis examines how Chinese media reports published between 2010 and 2024 present the subject of the Japanese war orphans in China after World War II. How are Japanese war orphans depicted in official Chinese media? The use of emotional language and connotative word use is analysed in 18 articles published by Chinese state-owned news agencies. By analysing the historical, political and social
This thesis analyses Georgian history textbooks to examine how the narrative of “choosing Europe” is constructed and reconstructed across political periods from 1920 to 2023. The study explains how the nation articulates itself and reimagines its identity in a changing world. Drawing on theories of collective memory, narrative templates, and political identities, the thesis examines how textbooks
This chapter investigates how reports in Swedish mainstream media framed the 1980s peace movement collective actions in Sweden. By revisiting press coverage of protest events, the analysis identifies the central characteristics of the framing. Primarily, the protests are found to be framed in positive terms and successfully conveyed what Charles Tilly and others have noted as key for a social move
This paper starts off with an editorial sewing circle and a patchwork seminar where participants were invited to contribute to an SMS-embroidery-feuillton by embroidering one of their own text-messages. Whereas research on participatory journalism has been based on established journalistic platforms (Karlsson 2010), this paper tries to understand the gathering, processing and publishing of informa
