Abstract [sv]

 This bachelor thesis aims to examine how Palestinian women are portrayed in Swedish media discourse. The study is delimited to the presentation of Palestinian women in Gaza, focusing on the period from the events of October 7th, 2023, to the current date, 20th of november 2024. In this research, I analyze 14 articles from two prominent Swedish newspapers to understand how Palestinian women are portrayed, depicted, and presented. The thesis seeks to answer the two following research questions: How are Palestinian women portrayed in Swedish media reporting after October 7, 2023, and to what extent do trends of invisibility, stereotypical portrayals, or silence around their experiences and agency manifest? What colonial power structures are reflected in the media discourse about the occupation in Gaza, and how do these structures influence the portrayal of Palestinian women? By applying feminist postcolonial theory and the three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis, the study delves into these research questions by identifying trends in their representation. This involves examining key aspects such as who is speaking, who the intended audience is, whose stories are being highlighted, and how these stories are conveyed. The thesis identifies four discursive themes: Silences and women as anonymous victims, Women’s own stories, Women’s experiences of vulnerability and loss, and The power of representation.
