Certain ideas come to dominate DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY | LUND UNIVERSITY, 2017 an entire debate, time, or society and become an accepted truth through processes of naturalisation. Different active practices and processes contribute in making particular perspectives gain interpretive privileges: arguments resonate, concepts stick, and ideologies become common sense. Ideas and meanings are disseminated, inscribed, and institu- tionalised in the social world with far-reaching consequences. The question is how. How does one go about setting the agenda that shapes the debate? This dissertation is a contribution to the theoretical development concerning hegemony and the intellectual function. To make sense of meaning-making struggles, dominance, and interpretative privilege in the debate, the notion of “intellectuals” is reconceptualised through a critique of conventional perspecti- ves and an empirically grounded analysis. The analysis is focused on utterances in the medialised debate on privatisation in Sweden during the crisis years of 1988 to 1993, and conducted with inspiration from post-Marxist discourse theory and rhetorical political analysis. By examining the processes, practices, and strategies involved, the study shows how a hegemonic struggle unfolds around the meaning of “privatisation”.

In the thesis, a post-Marxist approach to discourse theory is used to adress questions of discursive shifts, hegemony and the intellectual function. It is supplemented by a rhetorical political analysis in order to examine how practices and strategies involved in hegemonic struggles take place on a more fine-grained level of analysis. The theoretical argument is complemented through empirical work that analyses the medialised debate on privatisation in Sweden from 1988 to 1993. As a step in the theorisation process this empirical analysis applies elements of both post-Marxist discourse theory and rhetorical political analysis to shed new light on the intricacies of the intellectual function and the hegemonic processes in which it plays a key part. Using a post- Marxist terminology, the intellectual function is conceived broadly as the articulation and mediation of ideology, and analysed with the aid of conceptual devices derived from the rhetorical political analysis approach. Empirical analysis thus plays an active, constitutive role in the production of theory. This also implies that empirical analysis is not undertaken primarily as an end in itself, but rather because it is needed to support the theorisation process. Nevertheless, the analysis of the privatisation debate in Sweden elucidates important discursive changes that took place in this decisive period of recent Swedish history. The focus of the study is directed towards the shifts in ways of defining and speaking about the concept under contention (in this case, privatisation) in a relational setting of concepts and political positionings; the formation and performance of an intellectual function and the types of subject positions made available in the debate, and the rhetorical practices used to inhabit such positions; and the rhetorical and political strategies employed to achieve (relative) fixation of a particular definition of privatisation by making it (appear to be) commonsensical. The analysis shows how a common sense centred on the right to private ownership, is established in the privatisation discourse. By disentangling moral and efficiency-based arguments, the empirical analysis provides novel insights that contradict existing economistic assumptions about neoliberal politics and ideologies. By fleshing out the post- Marxist notion of an intellectual function, the study offers a way of conceptualising a post-foundationalist theory of intellectuals. Moreover, performances of the intellectual function are typologised into three ideal types: “experts”, “spokespersons”, and “public intellectuals”. The dissertation also points to processual changes in the representation of these ideal types in mainstream and alternative media. By analysing discursive practices of coalitions building and the articulation of political frontiers in the privatisation discourse, the empirical analysis elucidates constructions of unity and division among political subjcets. What emerges from these processes is a new hegemonic order which supplants the previous hegemonic formation – which became the common enemy across political lines – the social democratic welfare state.

  • Må Sanningen Segra Även Om Livet Går Under– En Studie Om Att Minnas Glömma Och Förlåta Offentliga Orätter
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för historia och samtidsstudier. Kandidatuppsats 15hp | Idéhistoria| Vårterminen 2013 Må sanningen segra även om livet går under– En studie om att minnas glömma och förlåta offentliga orätter. Av: Kristina Falk Handledare: Magnus Rodell Examinator: Lena Lennerhed 1 Abstract En svensk delegation om fyra personer från Vänskapsföreningen Sverige- Kampuchea, var inbjudna av Pol Pot att besöka Kambodja under hösten 1978. Efter hemkomsten till Sverige vittnade samtliga av delegationens medlemmar om en lyckad revolution och förnekade att det skulle pågå ett folkmord i landet. Genom utställningen Middag med Pol Pot år 2009 på Forum för levande historia, blev den svenska delegationens resa till Kambodja åter igen ett hett ämne för debatt i media. Denna studie ämnar visa hur två av dessa personer valde att hantera problematiken kring att tidigare aktivt ha försvarat ett land och dess ledare, Pol Pot, som under sitt styre var ansvarig för att upp till två miljoner människor dog. Jag har med denna studie sökt visa hur personer genom att aktivt sprida åsikter i olika media med syfte att påverka den allmänna uppfattningen av ett fenomen, med stor sannolikhet leder till att personen blir en del av den offentliga debatten. Vidare har min ambition varit att påvisa att det med offentligheten följer ett ansvar och att ansvaret för det tidigare handlandet inte bara kan försvinna eftersom att de offentliga budskapen förblir offentliga. Titeln till denna uppsats ”Må sanningen segra även om livet går under” är hämtad från Alf W. Johanssons svenska översättning av Nietzsches, Om historiens nytta och skada (1998). 2 Innehållsförteckning 1.

Emma Elinor Lundin ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the struggle to increase women’s participation in public and political life by focusing on the activism of women within the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) from 1960 until 1994. It argues that internationalism was key to these women’s success, providing them with a source of support and funding as well as a stage to develop policies away from overwhelmingly patriarchal national settings. Creating and steering political trends and discussions in international fora, and bolstered by the approval of others in the international community, the women who feature here gained a foot in the door of power and created environments conducive to their presence, abilities and voices.
