Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- With the elimination of Soviet state communism in the early 1990s, the ideational foundation of politics in the five Central Asian former Soviet republics had to undergo fundamental rebuilding. Instead of the defunct basis of Soviet-style Marxism-Leninism, the rulers of the suddenly independent Central Asian states urgently had to identify other ways and means of legitimizing their hold on power. The following is an analysis of how this quest has fared in the case of Kazakhstan, a resource-rich state with regional great-power aspirations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The theoretical point of departure of this paper is that the perspective of political myth adds to the understanding of political developments in Russia. The upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Sochi in 2014 are discursively constructed as a manifestation of Russia's return to great power status. In official Russian discourse, there is an encounter between the Russian great power myth and the myth of Olympism, both of which are employed to strengthen the status of Russia and of President Putin personally. Thus, the Olympic values of humanism, internationalism, and progress are merged with Russian great power ideals. But there are also examples where the prevailing myths are turned around to criticise the regime and the Sochi Games. However, the most serious challenge to the Putin regime may stem from the great power myth itself, should the regime prove unable to deliver what it requires.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I kapitlet om religion sätts fenomenet religion i relation till IMER-fältet. Med kapitlet vill författaren lyfta fram den komplexitet som finns i begreppet religion i relation till migration och genom att problematisera begreppet religion - och begreppet IMER – visa hur en beredare förståelse skapas för hur dessa förhåller sig till varandra. Kapitlet börjar med en genomgång av vad religion kan vara bland annat utifrån olika nivåer och i relation till etnicitet, genus och ålder samt i förhållande till modernitet och sekularisering. Sedan presenteras hur religion utifrån denna komplexa förståelse kan kopplas till migration. Efter det lyfter författaren fram några teorier om hur religion påverkas av migration; bland annat hur migration hör samman med förändringar i religiositet hos individer och hur samfund anpassas efter det samhälle där de växer fram som en följd av migration. Dessutom ges en kort presentation av aktuell svensk forskningen på området. Kapitlet avslutas men en diskussion om hur religion inom IMER-fältet kan studeras genom att tex. visa på de svårigheter som följer av att studera förändring och att studera ett komplext fenomen som religion.

Coveted, detested and unattainable? : Images of the US superpower role and self-images of Russia in Russian print media discourse

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores how the image of the USA has developed in two major Russian daily newspapers, Izvestiya and Komsomolskaya Pravda, in a time period comprised of a total 20 weeks' of study in the years of 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2009. For Russia this time span was dramatic: it moved from seemingly stable superpower in the 1980s, over the chaos after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, to the partial comeback to great power status at the beginning of the 21st century. While telling the story of how the image of the USA has evolved, the article also describes how Russian self-images have developed. The image projected of the USA was Manichean in the 1980s, whereas the most benevolent images were found in the 1990s. The examples from 2004 and 2009 reflect an assertive Russia that is back on the world stage. The USA is here again often criticized, but also - as before - comprises the scale against which Russia itself is measured.
