The realization of sex and bodies: Discursive strategies in Swedish media representations of biomedical research on alcohol moreCo-authored with Katarina Winter. Work in progress, paper presented by Katarina Winter at the 25th Conference of the Nordic Sociological Association, Oslo 4-7 August, 2011.
During recent decades, biomedical research on alcohol has increasingly entered the press scene. In particular, media stories of health and lifestyle often rely on references to biomedical alcohol research. Furthermore, these types of story are frequently entangled in arguments about bodily sex differences. The purpose of this study is to analyze how sex and the body are realized (Kraus 2000) as objects of knowledge in Swedish media representations of biomedical alcohol research during the period between 1995 and 2010. Using discourse analysis, we address the issue of how these realizations are produced and, particularly, the discursive strategies used in transforming descriptions of sex and body into facts.
