Boys playing robbers and girls playing with Barbie : A study about how gender is represented and made ​​linguistically in reading books for children in grade 1 (English)
Abstract [en]

In this essay there will be four text books from grade 1 studied, the first one are from the year 1976 and it will be going forward to the year 2012. The aim of this study is to see how the genders are depicted and represented, as well as what roles the genders are given. I do also want to see if there is a notable change in this over time. I will be doing a study based on the quantity of the contents, and I will also be doing a critical discourse analysis.

The result of the study showed that there were more gender-based constructions that referred to women in all of the four books, which indicates that women are represented more often in these reading books. It is most common to portray the genders in their stereotypical roles, which again are present in society, but sometimes these roles are depart from what’s present in society. My study did not show any noticeable differences over time. My study is also too small to be able to give me any results that can be view as general. My study in comparison to earlier reports on genus in text books , sexes in child books as well as genus in a progressive text book does not point at any obvious similarities to these aforementioned reports. This may have a direct result in the fact that my study is too small and does not depict the general results that is shown in the early research that has been conducted.

Abstract [sv]

I den här uppsatsen studeras fyra läseböcker för barn i årskurs 1 från år 1976 till år 2012. Syftet med studien är att se hur kön framställs och representeras och vilka könsroller som tillskrivs könen genom språket. Jag vill även studera om det går att urskilja någon förändring över tid. Jag utför både en kvantitativ innehållsanalys och en kritisks diskursanalys.

Resultatet visade att det var flest könsmarkerade konstruktioner som refererade till kvinnor i alla fyra läseböcker, vilket tyder på att kvinnor representeras mest i läseböckerna. Det är vanligast att framställa könen i de stereotypa könsrollerna som finns i samhället men ibland bryts dessa könsroller också. Av denna studie är det svårt att urskilja några påfallande förändringar över tid. Detta kan bero på att min studie är för liten för att ge några generella resultat. Min studie i förhållande till tidigare forskning om genus i läseböcker, kön i småbarnsböcker, genus i en progressiv lärobok visar inte på några markanta likheter, detta kan också bero på att min studie är för liten och skildrar inte de generella resultat som framkommer i den tidigare forskningen.
