Abstract [sv]

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur prostitution, sexköpare och sexsäljare, framställs i tryckt media. I detta fall, i åtta nyhetsartiklar från Aftonbladet. Detta för att sedan kunna se hur eller om diskursen förändrats, före och efter #Metoo. Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ, kritisk diskursanalys, med grund i representationsteori och genusvetenskap. Med dessa teorier som utgångspunkt har flera skillnader kunnat visas, medan andra detaljer fortsatte att existera. Resultatet säger att prostituerade kvinnors historier sällan var beskrivna i artiklar innan #Metoo, vilket det i högre utsträckning var efter #Metoo. Sexköparnas historier däremot framkommer ofta innan, och allt mindre efter. Dessa beskrivs även som närhetssökande, ensamma män, medan de efter #Metoo alltmer framställs som förövare och torskar på gruppnivå. Aftonbladets problemformulering tycks också ha ändrats. Slutsatsen var att texterna innan uppropen fokuserade på männen, hur de gått tillväga och varför de köper sex. Efteråt beskrivs ett systematiskt samhällsproblem, som heter människohandel och prostitution. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this thesis was to examine how prostitution, sex buyers, and sex sellers are portrayed in print media. In this case, eight news articles from Aftonbladet were analyzed. This was done to see how or if the discourse has changed before and after #Metoo. The method used was a qualitative, critical discourse analysis, based on representation theory and gender studies. With these theories as a foundation, several differences have been identified, while other details continued to persist. The results indicate that the stories of prostituted women were rarely described in articles before #Metoo, but were more frequently covered after #Metoo. Conversely, the stories of sex buyers often appeared before and became less common afterward. Before #Metoo, sex buyers were depicted as men seeking closeness and being lonely, whereas after #Metoo they were increasingly portrayed as perpetrators and johns at a group level. Aftonbladet's problem formulation also seems to have changed. The conclusion was that the texts before the movement focused on the men, how they acted, and why they bought sex. Afterwards, a systematic social problem called human trafficking and prostitution is described.
