The Art of Creating Difference : A Postcolonial Text Analysis of The Paradigm of Difference in Swedish State Founded Dance (English)
Abstract [sv]

Uppsatsen har titeln Konsten att skapa o(jäm)likhet - En postkolonial textanalys om olikhetens paradigm i statligt finansierad dans och är skriven av Minoo Eneroth. Syftet är, med utgångspunkt i det teoretiska begreppet olikhetens paradigm (de los Reyes & Martinsson 2005), att kritiskt analysera hur essentialistiska föreställningar om olikhet och kultur reproduceras och utmanas i den svenska kulturvärlden. Studien är en tematisk textanalys av kommunikationen kring dansprojektet SWOP, som drivs av Skånes Dansteater.

Uppsatsen visar hur SWOP både speglar och utmanar etablerade diskurser om olikhet. Studien åskådliggör att SWOP tenderar att bekräfta föreställningar inom olikhetens paradigm genom att presentera en essentialistisk förståelse av olikhet, där identitetskategorin ”nyanländ” representerar mångfald och det Andra. Samtidigt framträder en motdiskurs inom projektet, där olikhet ses som en konstruktion av subjektiva erfarenheter och upplevelser. 1Vidare kan SWOP:s alternativa föreställningar om gränser, som utmanar koloniala och essentialistiska förståelser av gränser, representera en diskurs som utmanar olikhetens paradigm.

Abstract [en]

The thesis is titled The Art of Creating Difference - A Postcolonial Text Analysis of The Paradigm of Difference in Swedish State Founded Dance and is written by Minoo Eneroth. The purpose is, based on the theoretical concept of the Paradigm of Difference (de los Reyes & Martinsson 2005), to critically analyze how essentialist notions of difference and culture are both reproduced and challenged within the Swedish cultural sphere. The study is a thematic text analysis of the communication surrounding the dance project SWOP, which is led by Skånes Dansteater.

The essay demonstrates how SWOP both reflects and challenges established discourses on difference. The study finds that SWOP tends to reinforce notions within the Paradigm of Difference by presenting an essentialist understanding of difference, where the identity category of “migrant” represents diversity and the Other. At the same time, a counter-discourse emerges within the project, where difference is seen as a construction of subjective experiences and perceptions. Furthermore, SWOP’s alternative representations of borders, which challenge colonial and essentialist understandings of borders, could represent a discourse that challenges The Paradigm of Difference.
