SUBKULT

Purpose: The aim of our work is to find out how the subcultures are being portrayed in Swedish newspapers. We wondered if the picture that emerges of subcultures is positive or negative. If cultural practitioners feel their culture is portrayed fairly and how they feel it is interpreted. Thesis: We had at the start of our work, a thesis that the representation of subcultures in the Swedish daily press is not a particularly positive reception of the practitioners themselves, that picture that emerges without some basis in reality and based on standard images.
