Det villkorade hemmahörandet: en kritisk diskursanalys av integration och medborgarskap i jämlikhetskommissionens betänkande "En gemensam angelägenhet"
(2021) GNVM03 20211Department of Gender Studies
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Uppsatsens mål är att utifrån ett feministiskt och postkolonialt perspektiv belysa den diskursiva konceptualisering av integration som artikuleras i jämlikhetskommissionens betänkande. Vidare är målet att undersöka vilka idéer om det svenska medborgarskapet som betänkandets konceptualisering av integration bygger på och ger upphov till. Genom att belysa och undersöka detta ämnar uppsatsen begripliggöra det nationella hemmahörandets gränser och villkor samt kritiskt analysera hur staten positionerar sitt eget respektive individens ansvar över integrationen och den ökade ojämlikheten. Studiens övergripande syfte är sammanfattningsvis att bidra med förståelse och kunskap om de diskursiva relationer som konstrueras mellan integration,... (More)

- Abstract
- This master thesis in gender studies analyses how integration and Swedish citizenship are conceptualised in the official governmental report A Common Concern (SOU 2020:46), written by the Commission on Equality. Feminist and postcolonial theories on citizenship and belonging are used in combination with previous research on Swedish integration politics and inequalities in the welfare state. Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis is used as the methodological point of departure, by implementing chosen analytical tools from his three-dimensional framework. The analysis shows that concepts such as “social cohesion”, “human capital” and “gender equality”, as well as interdiscursive relations to ideas of a redistributive welfare state... (More)

Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis is used as the methodological point of departure, by implementing chosen analytical tools from his three-dimensional framework. The analysis shows that concepts such as “social cohesion”, “human capital” and “gender equality”, as well as interdiscursive relations to ideas of a redistributive welfare state and a neoliberal rationality, are central to the Commission’s conceptualisations of integration. Altogether, the thesis concludes that discourses on integration play a central part in both how and why the Commission advocates for a renewed social contract between the Swedish state and its citizens/residents. It also concludes that Swedish citizenship and national belonging are restricted by economic, cultural and gendered conditions and by various ideological assumptions about “Us” and “Them”. Finally, the conceptualisations of both integration and citizenship are shaped by the hegemonic social practice: capitalist realism, leaving the potential for increased equality quite limited. (Less)
