Den endimensionella etnicitetens reproduktion i en kommunal strategi

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay is to investigate if Botkyrka municipalitys policy Strategi för ett interkulturellt Botkyrka (Strategy for an intercultural Botkyrka), reproduce a previously discovered discourse about swedishness, etnicity and culture as something static and one-dimensional. How they tackle the challenge to n’either homogenise nor culturaly essentialise their citizens. This is examined with the use of a social constructivist approach on the strategy. By using this approach and with the frameworks from discourse analysis and governmentality, this study shows that despite rethinking in goals and course of action, the examined material follows the previously demonstrated discourse, through their use and articulation of the investigated concepts.
