Kvinnor är fria individer! - en diskursanalys av surrogatmödrar

Sammanfattning: This essay is a critical discourse analysis of the phenomenon of surrogate mothers. Surrogacy is prohibited in Sweden but it is still possible for a swedish couple to recive the service in a foreign country, such as India. Surrogacy is a inflected question and the opinions are varied. The purpose is to analyze in what way the writers uses the language to express their opinion and to problematize this perspective of surrogacy and freedom. In order to do so I did a conceptual analysis on freedom, exploitation and objectification in a selection of texts. This analysis shows a negligence in how the concepts are used. The discourse analysis then shows a problematic and complex picture where the writers talk about surrogacy as a revolutionary action.
