Abstract [en]

This paper is a investigation how the social constructs of immigrant women are made in the Swedish media. The aim of the study is through discourse analysis locate and analyse how immigrant women are described in the media. To help the analysis of immigrant women the study applies the theories concerning intersectionality, gender and ethnicity. The specific material is gathered from the Swedish newspaper Expressen during the years 2010, 2015 and 2022. The results show that immigrant women are described trough stereotypes that in most cases describe a victimisation. At the same time, the media also constructs a stigmatization around immigrant women through categories of culture, ethnicity, gender and religion. The most important part of the results is that it shows that the categories that are applied to immigrant women work in a segregated way against the dominant culture. This result also shows that in the newspaper ideas exist about culture incompatibility between what is understood as the Swedish majority culture and the immigrant culture. The view on immigrant women in the results also shows a belief that immigrants as group is homogenous which in related research is highlighted as a kind of stereotype when immigrants are portrayed in Swedish media.
