Mononormativ flersamhet och förvirrade bisexuella: En kritisk diskursanalys av hur bisexualitet framställs i reality-programmet “Alla dejtar alla”

Abstract [en]

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine the bisexual discourses and stereotypes within the Swedish reality show Alla dejtar alla (Double up love), where a group of bisexual men and women explore romantic relationships in a luxurious Spanish villa.  I have conducted a thematic analysis of Alla dejtar alla, and chosen three main themes: binary, monogamy and openness. The themes are then studied through Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis. By combining queer theoretical perspectives such as performativity and homonormativity with Stuart Hall's theory on stereotypes, I examine how bisexual stereotypes and discourses are both challenged and reproduced within the TV-show. The findings conclude that the conflicting bisexual representations in Alla dejtar alla challenge bisexual stereotypes such as cheating through its monogamous discourses, but also frames contestants who do not conform to monogamy as confused, which reproduces stereotypes.
