Detta examensarbete är en kvalitativ studie om känslor, tankar och minnen av musikundervisningen i den svenska folkskolan mellan cirka 1925 och 1950, med särskilt fokus på de personer som kände sig utestängda från musikundervisningen, samt deras förhållande till musik senare i livet. Studien är baserad på intervjuer med 13 personer födda mellan 1914 och 1942.På den här tiden såg samhället och skolan helt annorlunda ut än de gör idag och det speglas naturligtvis i synen på musikalitet, sångförmåga och begåvning, och även pedagogik.Resultaten pekar på att undervisningen i musik vid den här tiden skilde sig från dagens undervisning ganska mycket i några avseenden. Idag strävar lärare mot att alla elever ska nå målen i kursplanen och det är en otänkbarhet att utesluta någon från undervisningen, men mellan 1925 och 1950 kunde detta förekomma i skolorna. Resultaten visar också att de personer som blev ”befriade” – som de själva säger – ofta har känt sig hämmade och osäkra på sitt eget sjungande i hela sina liv, trots försök att komma över detta som vuxna.

The objective of this thesis is to describe and analyze "asymmetric interaction." It seeks to find out what the consequences of asymmetry are in an actual confrontation and for the parties involved in it. This study is an attempt to develop, to operationalize, and to illustrate the concept of asymmetry in an empirical investigation. Symbolic interactionism constitutes the basis for both my own perspective and my theoretical frame of reference. Asymmetry cannot be described in a void. It must be described in terms of interaction between two or more players in a social context. I therefore apply the analysis to a specific social case at Stockholm's Social Services Department using the hermeneutic method. My objective is to better comprehend the whole by understanding its elements. To start with, I try to understand the specific elements, such as labeling, through the whole. The dialectics between specific elements and between the elements and the whole comprise my methodological impetus. Using the empirical process, I repeatedly return to the same events. I do so in different ways to augment my understanding, thus making it possible to create a cumulative, spiral- shaped learning process. The method can also be described as a dialogue-oriented, observation study. In this case, I follow a basic premise in hermeneutic social science. Human action and the actual culture must be studied and described from the basis of the individual's conception of himself. Initially I establish that asymmetric interaction exists between players in the social context I describe. There are two different ways to see and understand the same process. I show that these two approaches are incompatible because of asymmetry. The client's objective is to defend his rights and his opinions. The social workers feel their duty is to re-socialize and discipline the deviating individual. This confrontation between the two parties leads to conflict. I see "formal rationality" as an overwhelming social ideology. Power and authority comprise the central concept. The model raises the analysis to a social level. Because of this, it adds to the understanding of asymmetric interaction. / digitalisering@umu

This study examines how yoga is presented in a Swedish journal called Sökaren. Sweden is often presented as one of the most secular states in the world, and for that reason it is interesting to examine the Swedish way of religiosity by looking, in this case, at the depiction of yoga. I compare two periods of time, the first one from 1964 to 1974 and the latter from 1998 to 2008. I will thereby be able to examine tendencies and changes in the presentation of yoga. For a further understanding of the context around the elected periods this study introduces religiosity in Swedish society, such as Christianity and the New Age movement. An introduction of the Yoga Sutra, the Hindu tradition and a yogic view on the body is further included in the background.
