En narrativ analys och komparativ studie om nyhetsnarrativen i de senaste USA- och EU-valen
Författare
Summary, in English
This essay analyzes the differences and similarities in the most recent EU and U.S. elections. A narrative analysis is employed, and the theory is based on a social constructionist approach to knowledge. An analytical framework is developed comparing categories/contents of right-wing populism and democracy in relation to the narrative elements building on Labov och Waletskys (1967). The study shows that democracy is discussed more in the news narrative of the U.S. election while right-wing nationalism is more discussed in the news narrative of the EU election. The conclusion of the study is that the threat to democracy is more apparent in the Swedish narratives on the U.S. Election compared to the EU Election, and that the narratives on the U.S. Election was framed in a more negative manner than the EU Election.
