Does an inclusive organization succeed in including? : A semiotic analysis of sexual identities in RFSU's commercials (English)
Abstract [sv]

I följande studie har olika sexuella identiteters skildring och inkludering analyserats i tre av RFSU:s reklamfilmer, men med ett specifikt fokus på homosexualitet. RFSU, Riksförbundet för sexuell upplysning, är en etablerad svensk riksorganisation som arbetar med sexual upplysning, preventivmedel, aborträtt, frågor gällande sexualitet och rättigheter. Det framgår att reklamkampanjernas primära fokus är att få fler att använda och prata om kondomer, men också att köpa deras kondomer. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur framställningen och inkluderandet av homosexualitet har sett ut i reklamfilmerna i förhållande till heteronormativa strukturer. Studien behandlar dessutom likheter och skillnader reklamfilmerna emellan. Analysen och resultatredovisningen har genomförts med hjälp av ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv och en semiotisk metod, och dess redskap; denotation, konnotation och myt. Studiens resultat visar att RFSU reproducerar heteronormativa strukturer, även om graden av heteronormativitet varierar i de olika reklamfilmerna.
