Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syfte var att undersöka hur synen på funktionshinder och sexualitet ger uttryck i Sverige bland personer som arbetar med individer med funktionshinder samt hos individer med funktionshinder. För att ta reda på dessa synsätt har en diskursanalys använts som både ett metodologiskt angreppssätt samt ett analytiskt redskap. Studiens empiriska material består av tre stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra personer som arbetar direkt med individer med funktionshinder samt med personer som arbetar med frågor som rör ämnet funktionshinder och sexualitet. Empirin i studien består även av internetobservationer på internetforumet funktionshinder.se.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the view on disabilities and sexuality in Sweden expresses itself among people working with disabled individuals and the individuals them self. A discourse analysis was used to study this phenomenon. The empirical information was gathered by using three semi-structured, qualitative interviews with four professionals working with individuals with disabilities directly or indirectly. The theoretical framework consists of the view of social constructivism on sexuality and disability and Rubin’s model of hierarchy in sexuality. The study shows that there is only a little or no discourse of disabilities and sexuality in the Swedish society. Results indicate that lack of guidelines regarding sexuality and disability in Sweden contributes to that individuals living with disabilities don’t have the same possibility to express their sexuality as non-disabled.
