De bidrag som skickas till Högre utbildning har stor bredd. Sammantaget ska stor bredd ses som tidskriftens styrka. Det innebär att olika perspektiv och röster kommer fram i de tre bidragsformer som ...finns: artiklar, reflekterad utbildningspraktik och fördjupad diskussion. Både läraren och studenten är i fokus i Högre utbildning. Alla dessa perspektiv och röster – läraren, studenten och forskaren – finns representerade i detta första nummer 2023.
In this article, I will explore the media of law in popular legal culture as an arena for alternative legal practices. This will be done through an analysis of one of its principles, the principle of ..."your words against mine", i.e. examples of states of exception that declare a communicative stand-still between two parties on the basis of the conflicting character of their contested accounts. Being able to define a conflict in terms of "your words against mine", which has no precise counterpart in official legal theory, is accomplished through a discursive strategy cultivated in the popular legal culture. From a partial point of view it can also be used in order to gain an advantage in a conflict.
The relationship between the media and politics is often negatively described as being in a state of confusion and turmoil in which new standards of public media performance are eroded by viewer ...ratings, commercialism and trans-nationalism. In this article, I will give examples from the Swedish setting to show how the relationship between media and politics is generally conceived, by indicating how media-workers and politicians become idealised in stereotypical roles of bad vs. good. "The State of the Ordinary" is what we refer to as a tendency toward everyday practices of "ordinariness" in language use and in the general rule of authenticity in the media, making room for a new kind of politician who claims to be not a "politician" but simply "him or herself" as a politician. Being "yourself" as a representative is a perennial feature of the attempt to legitimise dominant roles at the top of the hierarchy of power distribution.
