Det nakna subjektet - En jämförande diskursanalys av individen

Sammanfattning: The process of constructing the individual must be understood as the production of a specific political subject. How the individual is constructed affects how the individual understand its identity framework and its perceived role as a political actor. The aim of this thesis is to compare the discourse production between the judicial discourse and the facebook discourse of the individual with the intention of examining from what perspective of power and values the individual is constructed and how the discourse production of the individual reestablishes structures of power. By viewing facebook as an institution and the theoretical perspective of intertextuality, I analyze the subject positions and the values that lay framework for the discourse. I claim that behind the universal construction of the individual there is stratified understanding of who is included in the notion of the individual and who is excluded.
