Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och analysera hur invandrare porträtterades i tidningsartiklar publicerade i Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter under tidsperioden 2020–2023. Studien grundar sig i en kritisk diskursanalys, där det empiriska materialet bestod av 16 nyhetsartiklar som analyserades med hjälp av det socialkonstruktionistiska perspektivet samt begreppen stereotyper och kategorisering. Studiens resultat visade på en övervägande negativ porträttering av invandrare och tre framträdande diskurser identifierades i det analyserade materialet: ”vi” och ”de andra”, den kriminella och våldsamma invandraren samt invandrare som ekonomisk och kulturell belastning. Resultatet visade på en tydlig differentiering mellan invandrare och svenskar, där invandare porträtteras som det avvikande i förhållande mot det normativa ”svenska”. Resultatet visade också på en genomgående kategorisering av invandrare där de framställs i negativ dager och repetitivt förväntas assimileras till det svenska samhället och ta efter ”svenska” normer och värderingar.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze how immigrants were portrayed in newspaper articles published in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter during the period 2020–2023. The study is grounded in a critical discourse analysis, where the empirical material consisted of 16 news articles analyzed using the social constructionist perspective along with the concepts of stereotypes and categorization. The results of the study showed a predominantly negative portrayal of immigrants, and three prominent discourses were identified in the analyzed material: "us" and "them", the criminal and violent immigrant, and immigrants as an economic and cultural burden. The results indicated a clear differentiation between immigrants and Swedes, with immigrants portrayed as deviating from the normative "Swedish" society. The results also showed a consistent categorization of immigrants in a negative light, with an expectation for them to assimilate into Swedish society and adopt "Swedish" norms and values.
