    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to produce a discourse analysis, inspired by theorists Ernesto Laclau & Chantal Mouffe, of the debate in written media between 2005 and 2015 on lowering the voting age in Sweden to 16 years. Influenced by Barbara Cruikshank’s ideas of the citizen-subject, the author asks two questions; how a differential chain of equivalence can be used to explain the discursive construction of the citizen-subject; and what discursive obstacles are preventing a lowering of the voting age to 16 years? The thesis concludes that there is a series of generally considered criteria, either connected to individual ideals of maturity or collective ideals of political involvement. LÄS MER
