Att vara en bra gäst - En diskursanalys av den svenska mediedebatten om de ensamkommande i Sverige 2017

Sammanfattning: The aim of this paper is to analyse how the unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan, whom took part in the sit-in strike that took place in Stockholm the late summer and fall of 2017, is portrayed in the Swedish media discourse and how one can detect perceptions about hospitality in said discourse. To do this these following questions will be answered: How does the media discourse portray the unaccompanied minors that went on a sit-in strike the summer of 2017? How can one, though a hospitality perspective and discursive perspectives on discrimination, detect different Swedes notions of these minors and how are the existing power relations portrayed in this media discourse? The analysis is demarcated to the Swedish discourse by scrutinizing different discussion articles and one live debate from the period in which the strike was active in August-October 2017. The materiel is analysed through Jacques Derrida’s perspective on hospitality and power relationships with a method by Kristina Boréus to make visible the discursive discrimination. The result of this analysis is that people from the right part of the political opinion spectra more prominently used more excluding, diminishing and degrading words to describe the minors than the more left wing part of the political opinion spectra.
