Amatören - den som älskar : En kulturanaltyisk studie av amatörteaterns betydelse och möjligheter i VästerbottenMolin, Olivia January 2023 (has links)
The amateur – the one who loves is an assay about the conditions of existence for amateur theatre in the region of Västerbotten, Sweden. During the last 20- something years the number of active amateur theatre-companies has gone from being a well-established form of cultural expression to being absent in the majority of the Västerbotten-communities. The purpose of this essay has been to understand why the people who are still active amateur theatre-performers-and- (volunteer)workers is interested in this form of art and which kinds of conditions of existence matters and enables these people to live their amateur theatre-lives. To be able to answer to this purpose it has been important to meet and speak to people from different parts of Västerbotten, why the study is multisited with shorter visits to several different places. By doing so, I have interviewed 12 people who still are, or used to be, engaged in amateur theatre, and I also visited three different amateur theatre companies to observe while they were rehearsing. Theoretically, the starting point has been the term culture and cultural theories such as a gleaning from Pierre Bourdieu's theories of practice where field, conditions of existence, habitus and symbolic capital has been identified in the empirical material and clarified with the help of feeling-work from Erin Hurley and orientation from Sarah Ahmed. The results have shown that the participants who has been interviewed all have (or used to have) three things in common: a great passion and love for the arts, an urge for self-realization and a longing to be part of a field or community of practise. But depending on where you live and where you come from, your conditions of existence differ quite a lot - even within the region of Västerbotten.
