- This article investigates the relation between science respectively nation, class and gender in the televised Nobel Banquet. The body of the Swedish Queen is used as a lens in order to analyse intersectional power dimensions. Drawing on cultural, media, and gender studies, this article examines the mediated persona of the Queen in the televised Nobel Banquet via contextualised textual analysis.The televised Nobel Banquet, like the awards ceremony preceding it, provides representations of both science and a social elite. But not all representatives of the Swedish elite equally attract the gazes of the cameras: the focus of attention is in particular on the Swedish queen, who since her debut in 1976 has received more TV time than anyone else – male or female, scientist or not. How is her body represented in the televised Nobel Banquet? And what are the consequences of these representations for the image of science?The analyses shows that the body of the Queen signifies that heterosexuality, class affiliation, and nationality are important and normative factors in the discourse of science. In the televised Nobel Banquet, her body is a symbol of the aspired status of science, representing its desire to belong among the heterosexual and white elites as well as an acknowledging of a traditional, ideal femininity.

- This study explores the aims of the Nobel Banquet broadcast, produced by the Swedish public service company SVT and the Nobel Foundation. The study suggests that the programme can be viewed as a co-construction of science and media, and that the Nobel Foundation has three primary purposes: 1) to teach the audience about science; 2) to honour the laureates; and 3) to maintain and increase the status of the Nobel prize. SVT, for their part, has two main purposes: 1) to teach their audience about science, and 2) to entertain. The aims of the Nobel Foundation and SVT may seem disparate, but they are interrelated. At the same time, the subtleties between the entities create a tension that develops through mutual negotiations. The study ends with a discussion of two unexpected findings: 1) the shared, yet essentially differently-grounded aims of both parties to inform about science, and 2) the fact that their scientific content has increased in both absolute and relative terms over the years, a finding that questions notions of a continuous mediatisation of social institutions.

Drawingon cultural, media and gender studies, this article examines the mediatedpersona of the Queen in the televised Nobel Banquet via contextualisedtextual analysis.The article suggests that the purpose of the Nobel Foundation in invitingthe royals is to enhance the social status of science. But it is the Queenwho has received more TV time than anyone else – scientist or royalty –since her TV-debut in 1976. How can the camera focus on her silent bodybe interpreted in relation to science? This article suggests that the meaningof the Queen’s body also implies certain understandings of central powerdimensions. The body of the Queen signifies that gender, heterosexuality,class affiliation, nationality and race are important and normative factors inscientific discourse. At the Nobel Banquet, the representation of her bodyidentifies science as associated with the heterosexual,

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Scientists are a poorly covered area of research in the field of celebrity studies. This article attempts to rectify this issue by discussing representations of science and scientists in a televised Nobel Banquet on Swedish public-service television, SVT. The televised Nobel Banquet is a genre hybrid that consists of two genres; namely, science communication and award show. Drawing on cultural, media, and gender studies, this article examines the mediated persona of the scientist in the televised Nobel Banquet via contextualised textual analysis. The main questions of this article are as follows: in what ways do the media, the genre, and the idea of geniality affect the representation of the scientist? The article suggests that the increasing celebrification' of scientists is characteristic of the past several decades, and that, among other factors, this has been due to the entry of aspects of entertainment into banquet broadcasts. Through such processes, the celebrity-scientist' has emerged within the high-status sphere of science. However, a very specific type of celebrity is represented in the Nobel context: the celebrity-scientist is commonly a white man of high education whose fame has been reached through hard work in competition with others of the same kind. This representation of a scientist and its associated quality of genius will here be examined from a gender perspective.
