The aim of the paper is to present films made by Latin American filmmakers in Sweden and which constitute a minor cinema according to David James’ definition. In the early 1980s Sweden had Europe’s largest population of people from Chile. Among these were several filmmakers, intellectuals or other who began to collaborate on film projects in Sweden. This work, with a few exceptions, has been ignor

This paper presents and discusses the distribution of paper patterns for home sewing in Sweden during the war years, using the examples of three different pattern magazines. It shows how these magazines conveyed, interpreted, and adapted fashion to home sewers. Despite the fact t

An analysis of the Turkish film Yol and the reception of it in Swedish media.
The big Malmö newpapers Sydsvenska Dagbladet and Kvällsposten, both owned by the family Wahlgren, involved themselves heavily in Swedish party politics in the 1960s. The Social Democrats had in 1962 been in almost permanent power in Sweden since 1932. There was a desperate wish for change in power among many Swedishy voters. In this atmosphere Olof Wahlgren, Sydsvenska Dagbladet´s deputy editor,
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

In this thesis, Carl Sagan’s television series and book Cosmos is studied. Theories and concepts from literary studies (and related fields) are used to analyze the so-called “cosmic perspective”. The cosmic perspective is shown to be complex, composed of four different but related perspectives: space; time; humanity and cosmic evolution; and history of science and exploration. A number of ambiguit
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
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put the vulnerability of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant under the spotlight. Meanwhile, the remembrance and reflection of the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 has been ongoing in different media among which the HBO mini-series Chernobyl (2019) stands out and resonates transnationally. The existing analysis on Chernobyl mainly focuses on how the streaming series
This thesis takes a look at the origin, development and continuation of Thich Nhat Hanh’s literature (TNH). To do so, I first establish necessary Buddhist concepts and situate them in relation to Western ideas. I take special interest in the role of mindfulness and the Insight of Interbeing. I then explore the role of literature in traditional Buddhism, taking particular interest in the kōan. The
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
Critique of religion and its consequences is a topical theme. The attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris in January 2015 made the Western media establishment to rally in defence of freedom of expression, but it also raised the question of the limits of this freedom. There are always defined limits to freedom of expression, which change over time and are adapted to the political sy
This chapter discusses how processes of mediatization shape the increasing visibility and contestation of religion in public debate. Mediatization captures the interrelated processes of change between media technologies, institutions, and practices and other parts of society and culture. The first part presents a theoretical framework for the interplay between politics and traditional news media a
When the politically active Ukrainian community in Edmonton, Alberta, gathered in late November 2019 for their annual commemorations of the massive famine that ravished the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1932–33, their rituals followed established patterns. The politically well-connected Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) held its choreographed gatherings in the heart of the province’s political life
Uppsatsen behandlar den kinesiska dagstidningen Referensnyheter och med utgångspunkt från denna, det sätt på vilket Kinas politiska ledning genom nyhetsbyrån Xinhua förmedlade svenska nyheter om Kina till kinesiska läsare år 1966. Uppsatsen visar att Sverige och svenska medier sannolikt spelat en roll i den interna maktkampen inom KKP gällande propagandasystemet. Därmed synliggörs dels ett mediefeThe purpose of the thesis emanates from the Chinese daily newspaper Reference News and the way the Chinese political leadership through the news agency Xinhua selectively disseminated Swedish news about China to a domestic audience in the year 1966. The thesis shows that Sweden and Swedish media probably played a role in the internal struggle for power within the CCP regarding the propaganda syste
