I want to thank you for the time you took to talk to me, to share your stories with me, and for trusting that I would actually turn them into something worth reading. May no one believe that what is written in a book can actually, truly mirror the complexity of the migration stories you told me! Thank you to Virgina Caputo at Carleton University in Ottawa who first opened my eyes to feminist theories, and to Kalissa Alexeyeff at University of Melbourne in Melbourne who then made me question them all. Thank you to my advisers, Peo Hansen, for never pushing me in any particular direction and always letting me go my own way, and Ulrika Dahl, for theoretical and methodological depth, and for pointing me in the right directions. Thank you to everyone at REMESO who has helped me over the years, with a special thank you to Anita Andersson. Also, I would not have got as far or enjoyed myself nearly as much if it weren’t for Jennie K. Larsson, Karin Krifors, and Nedžad Mešić. Jennie and Karin’s feminist minds have also had a great influence on this dissertation. Thank you to the readers of my half and final seminars who read and commented on the text in ways that significantly improved it: Anna Adenji, Catrine Andersson, Sabine Gruber, Pia Laskar, Catrin Lundström, and Jenny Payne Gunnarsson. Jenny and Anna, who are both amazing readers, have particularly influenced the direction the text took.

  • Kongen Og Dronningen Av Norske Talkshow
    KONGEN OG DRONNINGEN AV NORSKE TALKSHOW - EN SAMMENLIGNENDE ANALYSE AV SKAVLAN OG LINDMO Foto: NRK/Mette Randem Foto: NRK/Evy Andersen AV: LINDA CHRISTINE STRANDE Masteroppgave i medievitenskap Institutt for informasjons- og medievitenskap Universitetet i Bergen Våren 2013 Forord Det er mange som fortjener en takk for å ha hjulpet meg i arbeidet med denne masteroppgaven. Først og fremst vil jeg benytte anledningen til å takke min fantastiske veileder, Jostein Gripsrud. Med dine gode råd, din faglige kompetanse og, ikke minst, ditt upåklagelig gode humør har du ikke bare gjort arbeidet med oppgaven lettere, men også hyggeligere. Jeg er utrolig takknemlig for det. En stor takk vil jeg også rette til Fredrik Skavlan, Anne Lindmo og deres nære medarbeidere Marianne Torp Kierulf, Jan Petter Saltvedt og Stine Traaholt. Jeg setter veldig stor pris på at dere velvillig stilte opp til intervjuer. Jeg opplevde å bli utrolig godt tatt imot av dere, og fikk mange gode svar som har vært til stor nytte for meg i dette forskningsprosjektet. Jeg vil også takke mine kjære medstudenter som har sittet sammen med meg på rom 539. Vi døpte tidlig vårt kontorfellesskap GOE DAGA. Et navn som spesielt de siste, intense månedene har fremstått som mer og mer ironisk. Likevel er jeg sikkert på at vi, etter hvert når skuldrene senker seg, vil se tilbake på tiden som har vært med glede og savn. Vinterning og bråkebøter er begreper jeg alltid vil minnes med et smil om munnen. Sist, men ikke minst, vil jeg også rette en stor takk til familie og venner. Spesielt takk til verdens beste mamma og pappa.

  • Integreringsretorikken I Arbeiderpartiet
    Integreringsretorikken i Arbeiderpartiet Det nye norske vi Sjur Aaserud Masteroppgave ved institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studier UNIVERSITETET I OSLO 14/11- 2014 Sammendrag Målet for denne oppgaven er å se på integreringsretorikken til Arbeiderpartiet. Jeg har brukt diskursmodellen til Fairclough for å belyse de ulike sidene av politiske tekster. Denne oppgaven er tredelt. En del er viet de sosiokulturelle arenaene for politiske tekster, den andre er viet den diskursive praksisen innenfor Arbeiderpartiet og det tredje segmentet er viet en teksthermenautisk analyse av Mangfold og muligheter. Forord Det er mange som skal takkes når regnskapet over nesten et og et halv år med masteroppgavejobbing skal gjøres opp. Først og fremst er det mange i selve Arbeiderpartiet jeg må takke: Kristine Kallset, Lise Christoffersen, Jonas Gahr Støre og Håkon Haugli. Min veileder i dette arbeidet har på tross av en ufattelig arbeidsmengde alltid funnet tid til meg og brutt illusjoner, sparket meg i gang og fått fokus på det som skulle bli den røde tråden i arbeidet. Takk Kjell Lars Berge! Ellers vil jeg takke Sindre Bangstad for interessante diskusjoner. Og som alltid min våpendrager Sofus Kjeka som alltid er der for gode diskusjoner. Og sist, men aller viktigst, min kjære Pil som mer eller mindre opprettholdt ”vårt lille vi” i en relativt monoman tilværelse.

  • AUTENTISITETENS GJENNOMSLAGSKRAFT En Studie Av Talkshow Som Arena for Politisk Kommunikasjon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives AUTENTISITETENS GJENNOMSLAGSKRAFT En studie av talkshow som arena for politisk kommunikasjon Jenny Kanestrøm Trøite Masteroppgave i medievitenskap Universitetet i Oslo - Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Våren 2012 ii Sammendrag Denne oppgaven undersøker hvordan norske politikere bruker talkshowet som arena for politisk kommunikasjon. Fjernsynet har langt på vei brutt ned grensa mellom informasjon og underholdning, noe som har ført til en framvekst av nye hybridsjangre, nye politikertyper og, ikke minst, en ny politisk retorikk. Talkshowet er et resultat av denne utviklinga, og er derfor et spennende utgangspunkt for å undersøke hvordan norske politikere har tilpassa seg den nye mediesituasjonen. I talkshowet må politikerne stadig skifte mellom de ulike krava som stilles til politikk og underholdning. De må opprettholde den autoriteten og makta de er avhengige av å ha som politikere, samtidig er de nødt til å gi av seg selv og vise sin personlighet for å skape samhold med publikum. En vellykka opptreden i talkshow fordrer derfor at politikeren oppnår en suksessfull sammensmelting av den offentlige og private sfære. Ved hjelp av en innholdsanalyse, som er forankra i retorikkteori og retorisk terminologi, studeres ti talkshowopptredener med sikte på å avsløre hvilke virkemidler politikere bruker for å gi et troverdig inntrykk i slike program. Deretter settes oppgaven inn i et større perspektiv, ved å vise hvordan oppgavens funn kan si noe om hvilken retorikk som er mest hensiktsmessig og overbevisende å benytte for politikere som gjester talkshow. Analysen viser at samtlige politikere i utvalget er storforbrukere av personifisering, som har til hensikt å skape samhold og identifikasjon.
