”FRÅN KOMEDI TILL BLODIGT ALLVAR” - Lär dig att bli svensk genom Stig-Helmer och Beck

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the commercial streaming and distribution company C More Entertainment AB’s project “Filmtegration”. In collaboration with Svenska för invandrare (SFI) the project has made six Swedish films available for free screening for SFI-students. Every film has a unique teaching guide that gives examples on the Swedish language and culture to discuss and learn from. The aim of the study is from a critical viewpoint analyse the project and more in depth look at three of the chosen films from a perspective of “imagined communities”, nationalism, structural discrimination and representation. The result indicates the problems of teaching a homogenous depiction of Swedish culture and the risk of consolidate such statements.
