Abstract in English<br />
In this thesis I investigate the discourse around the teachers in the contemporary Danish society in<br />
order to identify the identity of the teachers that is expressed through the discourse and the<br />
narratives of the discourse.<br />
More specifically I focus on the discourse how I find it in the mass media. I base my investigation<br />
on a data material consisting of 112 media texts. My method is a multi perspectivistic discourse<br />
analysis, where critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough is the dominant theoretical and<br />
methodological inspiration. Within the methodological frame I import linguistic, sociological,<br />
psychological and philosophical theory in order to define and clarify my approach where I<br />
investigate discourse as narratives. Narrative Theory emphasis the connectedness between the<br />
discourse, as narratives, and the social reality of human beings or groups of human beings.<br />
My analysis of the corpus of media texts shows that the identity of the Danish teachers is structured<br />
by some structural metaphors which I identify as the following:<br />
1. THE TEACHER IS INCOMPETENT<br />
2. THE TEACHER IS A VICTIM<br />
3. THE TEACHER IS A PATIENT<br />
4. THE TECHER IS A SOCIAL WORKER (WITH EXTENDED RESPONSIBILITIES)<br />
5. THE TEACHER IS A HERO<br />
6. THE TEACHER IS A CRIMINAL<br />
I treat the media texts in my data material by categorising them and analysing them linguistically. In<br />
this analysis of the discourse around the teachers I look at the corpus of texts as well as at samples<br />
which I investigate and analyse more thoroughly.<br />
The narratives I find in my data material, categorised in the 6 categories, show an overall picture of<br />
the group of teachers as a professional group in crisis concerning self identity. Following Anthony<br />
Giddens thoughts about the emergence of Life Politics, as a suitable strategy to obtain and maintain<br />
identity in late modernity, the conclusion is that the identity of the teachers in contemporary Danish<br />
society is structured by emancipatory politics, which is concerned with the reduction or the<br />
elimination of exploitation, inequality and oppression, rather than by life politics. I plead therefore<br />
