Extremists are trying to divide Swedish society : A critical discourse analysis of the Swedish media’s presentation of the LVU-campaign (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur medias rapportering av LVU-kampanjen ser ut. LVU-kampanjen syftar till den kampanj där den svenska socialtjänsten påstås kidnappa muslimska barn utan rättslig grund. Med studien vill vi synliggöra de diskurser och eventuella underliggande attityder som skapas när media rapporterar om LVU-kampanjen. Fokus för studien ligger på vilka kategorier av människor som ställs emot varandra, vilka personer som kommer till tals i artiklarna och hur det påverkar hur debatten beskrivs samt hur språket används för att beskriva socialtjänsten och deras arbete. Uppsatsen redogör för och diskuterar de mest framträdande diskurserna i debatten; våldsdiskursen, diskursen om hot mot den svenska säkerheten, diskursen om den hotfulla socialtjänsten samt diskursen om den obildade andre. Analysen visar att nyhetsmedia porträtterar en bild av att debatten ger uttryck för hot och våld mot yrkesverksamma, som utifrån ett större perspektiv kan påverka den svenska säkerheten. Den visar också att socialtjänsten målas upp som hotfull samt en bild av att rädslan och misstron gentemot socialtjänsten är baserad på okunskap. 

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to analyze how the LVU-campaign is presented in news media. The LVU-campaign aims at the campaign in which the Swedish social service is alleged to kidnap muslim children without a legal basis. With the study, we want to pay attention to the discourses and possible underlying attitudes that are created in the media. The study focuses on the categorization of people, which people are spoken in the articles and how that affects how the debate is described, and lastly how the language is used to describe social services and their work. The essay describes and discusses the most salient discourses in the debate; the discourse of violence, the discourse about threats to Swedish security, the discourse about the threatening social service and the discourse about the uneducated others. The analysis shows that the news media portrays that the debate gives expression to threats and violence against professionals, which from a larger perspective can affect Swedish security. The analysis also shows that the news media portrays the social services as threatening and that the debate is developed because of lack of knowledge.
