Den Socialdemokratiska Memoaren Som Retorisk Genre: Exemplen Palm, Erlander Och Persson
”Från mörkret stiga vi mot ljuset” Den socialdemokratiska memoaren som retorisk genre: exemplen Palm, Erlander och Persson “From Darkness We Rise Towards the Light” The Social Democratic Memoir as a Rhetoric Genre: the Examples of Palm, Erlander and Persson Magnus Gustafson Masteruppsats i litteraturvetenskap Termin: HT 2014/2015 Kurs: LV 2311 Nivå: Master Handledare: Christer Ekholm Abstract Master’s Thesis in Comparative Literature Title: ”From Darkness We Rise Towards the Light” The Social Democratic Memoir as a Rhetoric Genre: the Examples of Palm, Erlander and Persson Author: Magnus Gustafson Academic Term and Year: Autumn 2014/2015 Department: Literature, History of Ideas and Religion Supervisor: Christer Ekholm Examiner: Dag Hedman Keywords: Political Memoirs, Rhetorical Reading, August Palm, Tage Erlander, Göran Persson Although Social Democratic Memoirs comprise an extensive material, these texts have not attracted any systematic analysis as a distinct and yet varied form of textual genre. The focus in this MA-paper is the Swedish Social Democratic Memoir as a rhetoric genre. The main primary material is memoirs of the pioneer August Palm (1849–1922), the father of the nation Tage Erlander (1901–1985) and the political leader Göran Persson (1949–), published 1905, 1972–82 and 2007, respectively. The general aim is to find out what is the driving power of the memoirs and, more specifically, to shed light on the images of the party history and the history of the welfare state. The method is a comparative analysis of these texts. The overarching rhetoric of Social Democratic Memoirs relate to a general ideological theme corresponding to the progression from darkness to light. -
Det Förlovade Folkhemmet? En Studie Av Svensk Civilreligion Speglat I Socialdemokraternas Retorik 1928 - 2008
Beteckning: HRV:D08:3 Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap Det förlovade folkhemmet? En studie av svensk civilreligion speglat i socialdemokraternas retorik 1928 - 2008 Thorbjörn Brehmer September 2008 D-uppsats, 15 högskolepoäng Religionsvetenskap Religionsvetenskap med inriktning mot kultur och identitet D Handledare: Peder Thalén Abstract The aim of this paper is to try Robert N. Bellahs theory of civil religion, within a Swedish societal context. Bellahs theory was designed in, and influenced by American culture. Therefore, the “translation” of Bellahs theory does not come without problems. A methodological discussion concludes with methods focusing on national self- conceptions. Through this method, the Swedish social democratic notion of the “folkhem” can be related to the notions included by “the American way of life”. The “folkhem” as well as “the American way of life” includes ideas of the nation, made up by specific historical events, in both nations. Those ideas are vital parts of the national self conception in both nations. Historical premises are constantly reborn through the rhetorical reinterpretation, and through the eyes of Bellah, the notion of the folkhem creates a national embracive, ethical value system. The notion of the folkhem still is viable in the Swedish society. Contemporary use of the folkhem- notion is discerned by the threats of globalization and neoliberlismic tendencies. In the light of these threats, the folkhem- notion includes the preservation of Puritanism ideals. Keywords: Civil religion, -

Hjalmar Branting Folket I Bilds Förlag 1949
Zeth Höglund Hjalmar Branting Folket i Bilds Förlag 1949 Oljemålning av Richard Bergh Denna skrift, som utgör en kort sammanfattning av författarens 1929 utgivna arbete Hjalmar Branting och hans livsgärning, gavs ut 1949 i serien Banérförare som redigerades av en kommitté med representanter från ABF, LO; SAP, SSU och Folket i Bilds Förlag. Se även Kata Dalström, av Mauritz Västberg, från samma serie. 1 Ett svärd, en eld, en fana. Ett svärd, en eld, en fana. Hjalmar Branting. Redan i namnets metallklang låg en symbol av den kampens man han skulle bliva. Som svärdsklang brusar hans namn genom vår historia i modärn tid. Han var hövdingen för arbetareklassen. Han blev ledaren för hela vårt folk. Han gav ära åt sitt parti i Internationalen, åt sitt fädernesland i folkförbundet. Hans mäktiga kämpagestalt motsvarades av en andlig kraft, vilja, målmedvetenhet och karaktär, som skapade hans enastående ställning. Under en mansålder står Hjalmar Branting i spetsen för svensk arbetarerörelse. Han är dess banbrytare både på det politiska och fackliga området. Han gav den en fast teoretisk grund. Han lärde den sammanhållning och solidaritet. Han lärde den taktikens konst. Han utformade den till en bred social demokrati. På 40 år växte den, huvudsakligen genom honom, från intet till en folkmajoritet. I sin ungdom inspärrades han som en förbrytare på Långholmen för sin samhällskritiska verk- samhet. På sin ålderdom stod han tre gånger i spetsen för socialdemokratiska regeringar. Vilken väldig samhällsomdaning hade icke skett under denna tid och genom den rörelse han företrätt! En eld var denna rörelse — en väldig låga av den lidelse för sanning och rätt, som bodde i Hjalmar Brantings själ. -

RESOLVING THE DILEMMA BETWEEN EQUALITY AND LIBERTY : THE SWEDISH POLITICAL SYSTEM. Nathalie BLANC-NOEL* *Nathalie Blanc-Noël is Associate professor in Political Science, University of Bordeaux 4, France, researcher at CMRP-GRECCAP, and editor of the Nordiques journal. (www.revue- nordiques.com). 1 I Abstract Swedish democracy ranks very high in international democracy indexes. It fascinates political scientists from all over the world because it seems to have resolved a fundamental political dilemma: the choice between equality and liberty, without the historical inconvenient of regimes which favoured too much equality - but killed liberty, or regimes which favoured liberty - but failed to make citizens equal... The "'egalitarian pluralism" practiced in Swedish political system is rooted in a specific political culture. -

fascism 8 (2019) 9-35 brill.com/fasc The Fascist Who Fought for World Peace: Conversions and Core Concepts in the Ideology of the Swedish Nazi Leader Sven Olov Lindholm Johan Stenfeldt Dept of History, Lund University, Sweden [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the political conversion and ideological thought of the Swedish National Socialist Sven Olov Lindholm (1903–1998). Lindholm began his career as a fas- cist in the twenties, and became a member of Sweden’s main National Socialist party led by Birger Furugård, in the early thirties. Ideological divisions and a failed attempt to oust Furugård saw Lindholm found his own party in January 1933, the nsap (later renamed the sss). Previous research has often described this party as a left-wing Nazi alternative, but its ideological basis has never been thoroughly dissected. The present article uses a variety of archival collections, speeches, pamphlets, and newspaper ar- ticles to suggest a cluster of six interdependent core concepts in Sven Olov Lindholm’s ideological thought: anti-Semitism, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-material- ism, the idealization of the worker, and the definition of Nazi Germany as a worker’s state. Lindholm underwent a second political awakening in the sixties, redefining him- self as a communist, and thus the article also examines the ideological remains there- after. It is found that anti-materialism, linked to a broad antipathy to modernity, was central throughout his career.
