Skriv en eller flera söktermer i sökrutan. Klicka sedan på knappen ”Sök”.
Sökmotorn skiljer inte mellan små och stora bokstäver.
En träfflista visas med en lista över webbsidor som matchar dina sökord. Den mest relevanta webbsidan visas överst, följt av nästa och så vidare.
Booleska operatorer
Operatorn AND fungerar som default mellan ord. Du kan kombinera flera ord eller fraser genom att använda de logiska operatorerna ”OR” och ”AND”.
Du kan även använda plus- eller minustecken för att inkludera eller exkludera ord (se nedan).
Ranking
Ju fler av orden som finns på webbsidan, ju högre upp i resultatlistan hamnar den.
Om orden förekommer i samma ordning som i din sökfråga, och nära varandra, hamnar dokumentet högt i träfflistan.
Frassökning
Använd citattecken för att sätta ihop ord till en fras. Om du vill söka efter en fras, skriver du texten mellan "..." citattecken.
Ex. "African studies"
Trunkering
Använd * för att trunkera söktermer. En sökterm måste inte alltid skrivas i sin hela form. Söktermer kan trunkeras både från vänster och från höger.
Ex. Tanza* eller *anza*
Ordprioritering
Plus (+) markerar att ett ord är nödvändigt. Genom att sätta ett plustecken framför ett ord eller en fras, säger du till sökmotorn att du endast söker efter dokument som innehåller det här ordet/frasen.
Ex. +policy +egypten
Ordexkludering
Minus (-) markerar att ett ord inte är önskvärt. Genom att skriva ett minustecken framför ett ord eller en fras, säger du till sökmotorn att den ska exkludera det här ordet eller frasen och att den endast ska leta efter dokument som matchar det resterande av sökfrågan.
Ex. nordic –africa –institute

This panel seeks to investigate the power of satire and caricature in mass media in Africa and its diaspora, especially the development that has taken place during the past ten years.The point of departure for this panel is research into popular culture, mediated in the massmedia such as newspapers, television, internet and mobile communication, in editoral cartoons,blogs, television satire or internet news sites. Satire and caricature thrive at the intersection of popular culture and political communication. Having had a long history in a number of African countries, satire and caricature seem to have experienced renewed success as it can now also befound in the internet. In a number of African countries, political commentary and opposition has managed to find a viable outlet through political satire in the mass media, and sometimes having been forced to move from one medium to another, or from domestic media to diaspora media, as harsh legislation have been introduced against their publications. Despite being heavily regulated by media legislation, which has left many political satirists in fear of their livelihood and indeed their lives, political satire continue to harbour a potential of offering topical commentary and criticism that may evade state repercussions and legal action. Several political satirists have established themselves as political commentaries in their own right, and a number of them even have a large international following. What is common is that political satire and caricature often remain popular with the general public. Satire and caricature may thus offer opinion to people, the power elite and in turn the overall critical discourse in any given society. Does this contribute to the opening up or keeping open spaces where political and democratic communication may be exchanged? What are the critical questions that should be posed to satirists across the political spectrums? Are there hidden agendas which researchers are liable to overlook in their possible focus on political satire as one of the tools for communication for social and political change? This panel seeks to investigate both the historical background and current development of political satire and caricature in the media in a variety of African countries and the diaspora, by means of interdisciplinary approaches within qualitative, critical textual and cultural analyses.
