När sexuella övergrepp reduceras till en fråga om etnicitet -En kvalitativ textanalys om medias framställningar av de sexuella övergreppen som skedde i Köln på nyårsnatten 2015-2016 ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv

Sammanfattning: Our aim with this study is to study from an intersectional perspective how Swedish printed press produced a narrative on the sexual abuse in the German city, Cologne, on New Year's Night 2015-2016. This study is based on a qualitative content analysis based on news articles from four newspaper publishers, TT News, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen. Where we come, our result will present from an intersectional perspective how different categories are constructed in newspaper articles and how they interact with each other. We will also discuss how the prevailing power structures are maintained by how journalists write about the sexual assaults that occurred at the New Year's Night in Cologne. Our study, among other things, illustrates how a narrative on women's vulnerability is used as an argument for a tightening of refugee policy in Sweden and Germany. There are also clear trends that sustain the ethnical difference as main characteristic of the perpetrators are linked to an ethnic and cultural belonging as a group and not from individuals.
