This anthology explores the memory work performed by Baltic and Central and East European far-right actors in the online space. Situated at the crossroads between memory studies, far-right studies, and media studies, the volume’s seven chapters show how a wide range of far-right actors, from small movements to major parties, have exploited digital communication technologies in order to establish t

In the late 1970s, the Swedish economy faced a profit squeeze which threatened to hamper investments and hence the creation of jobs. This engendered a massive debate in the media and among economists and policymakers. This paper investigates the discussion of “the politics of profits”, the policy measures directed towards manipulating the distribution between capital income and labour income in th

An analysis of the Turkish film Yol and the reception of it in Swedish media.

In this thesis, I study representations of summer and winter Olympic Games and Olympic athletes in six Swedish popular magazines 1948-1972. The purpose is to examine the forms of identity produced within the nation as an “imagined community”, in discursive processes where gender, sexuality, ”race”/ ethnicity, class and age/generation intersect and mutually construct each other. The study is inspir

The thesis explores online knowledge production around a subject that has been considered taboo and inappropriate through history – sexual, reproductive and genital health for people with female genitals. Therefore, it also examines the political potential of coming together to openly discuss such “delicate issues”. The focus of the study is the Swedish Facebook-group “Fittlife – underliv och häls

In contemporary Sri Lanka, nationalistic Sinhala organizations like Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) have made a great impact on the debate over what role Buddhism should play in the country. BBS claims that Islam is a non-Sri Lankan element in the Buddhist majority society, campaigning on such issues on social media between 2012 and 2014. This led Sri Lankan Muslim organizations to use social media to counte

This article studies conceptualisations of social class in Swedish education research, c. 1945–1960. The article follows knowledge produced about talent and class in state commissions and in the newly expanded social sciences, and how it in turn was interpreted and used in political debates and in the media. I show that the taxonomy of the population in social groups (Socialgrupper) was key for co

The Swedish South Asian Studies Network (SASNET) organized a conference entitled “Modern Matters: Negotiating the Future of Everyday Life in South Asia” at Lund University on 20-22 September 2016. The conference attracted more than 60 researchers, many from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. South Asia has been described as in a state of flux. While it is part of the soaring ‘Asian

This article addresses the role of television as a ‘new media’ in government public relations. Drawing on sociological theories on informalisation, this study analyses three features of the Swedish public information programme Anslagstavlan during the 1970s and 1980s: first, formal techniques such as editing, pacing and use of animations; second, narrative strategies including the utilisation of c

This study is concerned with how contemporary Belfast riots are represented in digital culture, with a specific focus on how social resilience is discursively cultivated (or hindered) through memes about said political violence.While a substantial amount has already been written about everyday practices in post-conflict Belfast, less is known about how digital narratives represent and make sense o

1950-talets svenskar konfronterades aldrig direkt med det kalla kriget, utan mötte det i medierna. Populärkulturens berättelser hade en formande kraft. Trots att de handlade om mode, sport och skönhetstävlingar, bar de ändå stormaktkonfliktens signatur. Reportage om nylonstrumpor och kärleksliv laddades med politik och strukturerade tänkandet. En femtitalsberättelse visar hur ideologi och politi

Despite its post-Soviet history, Azerbaijan is an under-investigated country in academic research - compared with the other former constituencies, such as the Baltic countries or Russia, of the USSR-and gender questions of the contemporary Azerbaijani society are even less touched on. Within the current context of the post-"Arab Spring" era of mediatized connectivity and collective political engag
