Sverigedemokraterna - En retorisk studie
(2007)Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- The Sweden democrats are a political party that has had a time of success during
the last year. However many people believe them to be a racist party, in contrast
to how they view themselves and their political message. How is it possible that
the views of the same party differ to this extent, it seems to be a large ambiguity

and can be crucial to how a political party is perceived by people. Can therefore
the use of rhetoric be a factor that has contributed to the different perception of the

With the help of theories such as semiotics, classical rhetoric and antiestablishment
strategy, different texts, such as motions, and pictures published by
the Sweden democrats can be analyzed to find ways they use rhetoric.
In the analysis it was obvious that they used rhetoric, even though the
rhetorical quality differed between the leading persons in the party and the people
who represented the Sweden democrats in the local government. However it
seems that they have, to some extent, managed to shape or design their own kind
of rhetoric. (Less)
