Gender Equality in Swedish Public Service Television

63%
EN
The purpose of the article is to present and analyse how gender equality principles are implemented in the Swedish public service television Sveriges Television (SVT). The analysis takes into consideration three aspects of the equal rights approach: employment policies, sources in the news programmes and the programme content. The employment of women in public service media is discussed from the historical and legal perspective while the news sources are analysed based on contemporary research and statistics. The last part of the article focuses on examples of portrayal of women in three television series produced by SVT. One of the television series aired in 1997 was aimed at younger audience and received a Swedish prize for successful implementation of gender equality in television content while the other two are contemporary crime dramas.

The article focuses on the strategies of provocation in films of the Danish director Lars von Trier. His two films, Manderlay and Antichrist, are interpreted here as the examples of the perverted denial of political, cultural, gender and moral norms. The text also discusses the differences in reception of von Trier’s films in Denmark, other European countries and in the USA.

The aim of the article is to look closely at the character of a pastor in selected works of the Scandinavian cinematography. The analysis covers two Danish films: Italiensk for begyndere (English title: Italian for Beginners) by Lone Scherfig and Adams Æbler (English title: Adam’s Apples) by Anders Thomas Jensen as well as one Norwegian film – De Usynlige (English title: Troubled Water) by Erik Poppe. All films presented were made after 2000, their actions take place in contemporary times and presume that the current social trends show con-tinuous departure of faithful people from the Church. How is the tendency reflected in the way a pastor is presented in the films? Intuitively one may guess that the pastor will be an outsider. However, in the films discussed in this article most characters are outsiders. Their faults and their failures remind us of the fundamental truth of the Lutheran anthropology and theology: man is a sinner. Also: no-one is alone in being a sinner. Being a pastor does not only involve a service within the Church, but first of all the power to forgive other people their sins. This means that the films presented in the article do not just tell stories about pastors, but – more significantly – they explore the Lutheran doctrine of universal priesthood. Each human is a sinner. Each Christian should be a pastor.
