The objectives were to identify the concepts of medical students about being a doctor and the medical practice, to identify, at different stages of medical school, the students' perceptions about the professional identity, understanding if the processes of change in curricula of medical schools are related to professional identity formation and to identify the concepts of medicine and the medical profession to students at different stages of the course. For this, was developed an exploratory and qualitative methodological approach, using various techniques of field work, such as participant observation, interviews, discussion groups and use of information from social networks. It was noticed, with the research that medical students bring representations about the profession from before entering the university, many of them responsible for choosing a career, such as social status and the possibility of acquiring economic capital. Students go through processes of socialization during the course to acquire medical knowledge and the normative precepts of medicine. In the beginning of the course, neophytes maintains an idealist position, which is changing towards the acquisition of strong technical expertise focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. To change the focus of training from the disease to care about people the curricula of medical schools are becoming, in the midst of processes of resistance due to professional power. Constructing new identities in the context of curriculum change is extremely difficult, because the training is crystallized in the maintenance of professional power and the closing of the profession towards people and other professions. / Este estudo se dedica à discussão e compreensão dos processos sociais que fazem parte da formação e identidade profissional no campo da medicina a partir das reformulações no âmbito dos cursos de graduação. Os objetivos foram: conhecer as concepções dos estudantes de medicina sobre o ser médico e sobre o exercício da profissão médica; identificar, em diferentes etapas do curso de medicina, as percepções dos estudantes sobre a identidade profissional; compreender se os processos de mudança nos currículos das escolas médicas estão relacionados com a formação identitária profissional e conhecer as concepções de medicina e da profissão médica de estudantes em diferentes fases do curso. Para isso, desenvolveu-se um percurso metodológico qualitativo e exploratório, com a utilização de diversas técnicas de trabalho de campo, como observação participante, entrevistas, discussão em grupos e utilização de informação proveniente de redes sociais. Percebeu-se, com a realização da pesquisa, que os estudantes de medicina trazem representações sobre a profissão desde antes do ingresso na universidade, muitas delas responsáveis pela escolha pela carreira, como o status social e a possibilidade de aquisição de capital econômico. Os alunos passam por processos de socialização durante o curso para adquirirem o saber médico e os preceitos normativos da medicina. Inicialmente no curso, os neófitos mantém uma posição idealista, que vai se modificando no sentido da aquisição de forte competência técnica voltada para o diagnóstico e tratamento das doenças. Para se modificar o foco da formação da doença para o cuidado, os currículos das escolas médicas vêm se transformando, em meio a processos de resistências devido ao poder profissional. Construir novas identidades nesse âmbito de mudança curricular é extremamente difícil, pois a formação está cristalizada na manutenção do poder profissional e no fechamento da profissão em relação às pessoas e as demais profissões.

abstract: The Fundación del Estado para el Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Venezuela (FESNOJIV), also known as El Sistema, is an internationally recognized social phenomenon. By promoting social reform and development through music education, El Sistema is enriching the lives of thousands of impoverished youth in Venezuela by providing a nurturing environment for children in government-sponsored orchestras, choirs, and bands. In this thesis, I contend that the relationship between music education and social reform cultivates sociocultural ideas and expectations that are transmitted through FESNOJIV's curriculum to the participating youth and concert attendees. These ideas and El Sistema's live and recorded performances engage both the local Venezuelan community and the world-at-large. Ultimately, I will show that FESNOJIV has been instrumental in creating, promoting, and maintaining a national Venezuelan identity that is associated with pride and musical achievement. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Music 2013

Syftet med studien är att undersöka identitetsskapandet hos ungdomar som växer upp i ett så kallat ”särskilt utsatt område” samt att undersöka hur ungdomarna upplever att samhällets kollektiva representationer (kollektivt accepterade utsagor) av det område de växer upp i påverkar deras sociala identitet. Studien genomförs genom narrativa intervjuer med ungdomar som växer upp i stadsdelen Vivalla i Örebro. Ungdomarnas narrativ analyseras med två olika analysmetoder, dessa är tematisk analys och diskursanalys. Studien visar, i likhet med andra studier, att identiteten skapas i samspel med andra och i relation till platsen. Studien visar också att de kollektiva representationerna påverkar ungdomarna i hög grad då ungdomarna ständigt utkrävs moraliskt ansvar för händelserna i området. Det tillhör också vanligheterna att ungdomarna blir föremål för viss grad av symboliskt våld. Detta leder till att de relevantgör en motståndsidentitet för att förändra narrativen om förorten och ”invandrare”. Det symboliska våldet binder dem ännu starkare vid platsen och ökar känslan av samhörighet med andra inom ”orten” samtidigt som klyftorna mellan ”orten” och de andra förstärks. / The aim of this study is to investigate the identity formation of youths who grow up in a so called "socially disadvantaged area". The study also aims to investigate how collective representations (collectively accepted narratives) of the neighbourhood affects the youth’s social identity. This by examining narratives from young people who grow up in the district of Vivalla in Örebro, Sweden. The study shows, like previous studies, that the identity is formed in relation to the neighbourhood. The study also shows that the collective representations affects youths. Where they, from others, are demanded moral responsibility for the events in the area. Their identities also receive forms of symbolic violence when trying to fit in the society. Because of this, the youths tend to form a resistant identity to change the narratives of the suburb and the concept of "immigrants". The symbolic violence and the lack of association with the main city works as a subterfuge to avoid other neighbourhoods.

This work focuses on fashion and its function in a class at school, mainly with adolescets. Pupils of the eight grade at primary school were involved for comparation and students of the second year of high school were involved. The main questions are: What these young people consider as fashionable? Do they percieve the fashion to be an instrument to achieve any goals? What can certain clothing enable to them? The aim was to map the importance that students attach to the clothing, and the allocation of the various functions of a clothes according to their importance. This is all in connection with the formation of identity, which is the main developmental task in the period of adolescence. Following methods were used in order to collect information: observation, short completing interviews and questionnaire, which was fundamental. This questionnaire consisted of three parts. The first part was focused on what do they consider as fashionable, the second part was focused on personal preferences and the third part was focused on the functions of clothing. On the basis of the analysis of questionnaires and other data, have been set fashion trends and the function of clothes, which are described according to the importance. Also been found a social group created on the basis of the modes and relations....

This paper contributes to the literature on post-conflict identity in exploring the question: which conditions favor the success of superordinate identity formation among former conflict parties in post-civil war societies? Building on the social psychological literature on terror management theory (TMT) and optimal distinctiveness theory (ODT), it argues that the presence of a common enemy among former conflict parties increases the likelihood of successful superordinate identity formation. An in-depth qualitative comparative study on national identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) after the 1992-1995 civil war and Lebanon after the 1975-1990 civil war is conducted in order to test the theoretical arguments of this paper. The empirical findings lend preliminary support to this hypothesis, yet also point to limits in the study’s theoretical framework, including the instability of an identity predicated upon a common enemy which may not exist in the future. This paper also identifies two alternative explanations to account for the outcomes observed in the two cases, including differences in the nature of the conflicts and the different ways consociationalism has been implemented in the two countries.

Syftet med den här undersökningen är att undersöka vilka värderingar och attityder till det svenska samhällets månkulturalitet som speglas i skönlitteraturen idag, hur det kan påverka läsaren, samt hur det överrensstämmer med de värderingar kring ämnet som vår skola vill förmedla och föra vidare till sina elever. Det görs genom en ideologikritisk analys av det valda materialet som i detta fall utgörs av fyra böcker ur bokserien "LasseMajas Detektivbyrå" skrivna av författaren Martin Widmark. Analysen fokuserar på hur karaktärer med utländsk bakgrund framställs i böckerna. Resultaten av analysen visar att de förekommande karaktärerna med utländs bakgrund framställs som stereotypa i materialets alla böcker. Dock dras slutsatsen att det inte vilar en negativ värdering kring att de framställs på detta sätt, eller vårt mångkulturella samhälle som de representerar. Snarare försöker författaren uppmärksamma samt lyfta olikheter och visa hur de berikar vårt samhälle. Genom att hans böcker har ett enkelt språk samt ger extra stöd med hjälp av illustrationerna blir de lättillgängliga för en stor läsarkrets, vilket gör att han sprider dessa positiva värderingar kring mångkulturen till ett stort antal barn och ungdomar. Värderingarna som böckerna förmedlar stämmer bra överrens med skolans värdegrund och kan därigenom anses vara goda exempel på skönlitteratur att lyfta in i skolans verksamhet idag. / The aim of this report is to find out what kind of values and attitudes towards today’s multiculturalism that is being reflected in modern fiction. It will also try to find out how those values can affect the reader, and how they conform with the values on the subject which our school is advocating. To answer these questions, I am going to do an ideologically critical analysis of the chosen material. In this case, it consists of 4 books from the series of “LasseMajas Detektivbyrå” written by the author Martin Widmark. The analysis is focusing on the characters with foreign ethnicity and how they are portrayed in the books.  The result of the analysis shows that those characters are portrayed in a stereotypically way in all the books. Although we reach the conclusion that it is not done on purpose with negative values. The author is rather trying to make us pay attention to the multiculturalism from a positive point of view, and show how it can enrich our society. Due to the simplicity of the language and the illustrations as an extra support, his books become easily accessible for many children. This also helps spreading the positive values on to a large group of readers. The values which these books are communicating goes well in agreement with our school. Therefore, the books can be considered as good examples of fiction that can be used in today’s classroom.

This thesis examines how integration as a category of practice or as an emic concept functions in political discourses. In doing so, this study delimit itself by focusing on the problematization of non-western immigrants in socially vulnerable residential areas in the whitepaper ‘A Denmark Without Parallel Societies – No Ghettos in 2030’ presented by the Danish Government in March 2018. By adopting a theoretical framework of Umut Özkirimli’s take on nationalism, the concept of ‘othering’ and Carol Bacchi’s WPR approach to policy analysis, this paper finds that integration as a category of practice function as a code word for differentiation in identity formation where the ‘othering’ of non-western immigrants and socially vulnerable residential areas confirm a Danish national identity. Thus, this thesis contributes to a framework addressing the discursive construction of a Danish national identity in the societal debate on integration through the analysis of policies.

abstract: The American sublime aesthetic, discussed frequently in literature and art of the United States, is equally manifest in the nation’s symphonic music as a concurrent and complementary aesthetic. The musical application of the American sublime supports and enriches current scholarship on American musical identity, nationality, and the American symphonic enterprise. I suggest that the American sublime forms an integral part of nineteenth-century American music and is key to understanding the symphony as a genre in the United States. I discuss American symphonic works by Anthony Philip Heinrich, George Frederick Bristow, William Henry Fry, Dennison Wheelock, and Florence Beatrice Price, aided by an analytical tool which I developed, to illuminate my appraisal of the nineteenth-century American symphonic enterprise. Their compositions contribute meaningfully to the complex history of identity formation for both American composers and the nation. In focusing on these incorporations of the sublime by white composers and composers of color from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, my research demonstrates how the American sublime expanded and transformed to better accommodate the country’s diverse citizenry, despite the marginalization of some. The nineteenth-century trans-Atlantic dialogue between Americans and their European contemporaries sustained a “distinctly cosmopolitan cultural ethos,” a phenomenon also described by Douglas Shadle as “one of the most vibrant intercultural exchanges in all of Western music history.” This dialogue shaped the cultural formation of identity for many American composers throughout the century and provided the foundation for a symphonic repertoire, which became internationally recognized for the first time as “American.” In this cosmopolitan environment, the Americanization of the sublime aided in the rebranding of long-established European artistic expressions like the symphony, while perpetuating the idealization of the nation’s geography, its people, and its beliefs. Perhaps most importantly, the American sublime supported the widely held belief in American exceptionalism and manifest destiny. The applicability of the American sublime to various genres made it a useful tool to assert autonomy and individuality in forms such as the symphony. For this reason, a revaluation of American symphonic music and its relation to the American sublime amplifies the significance of this repertoire. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020

This qualitative research study investigates the perceptions of children, parents, and staff members at a Boston multi-service nonprofit for Haitian immigrants. It is an exploration of how children cultivate their identity, and how a center for immigrants functions in the current sociopolitical climate. There is an evidentiary lacuna of qualitative explorations on children of immigrants’ perceptions and health. The COVID-19 pandemic makes this issue even more temporally relevant, as new data suggests structural factors make marginalized groups, such as people of color and immigrants, more vulnerable to infection and death. This study will contribute to the body of work on children of immigrants’ health by 1) analyzing the unique child perspective, as opposed to focusing entirely on adults or using quantitative child measures, 2) employing qualitative data to create more robust depictions of lived experiences, 3) and situating data in the particular Haiti/U.S. historical, political relationship. This study’s methodology includes ethnographic participant observation during regular visits to a nonprofit organization for immigrants (Fanmi Nou) over the course of several months, semi-structured video interviews with children, parents, and staff members of this organization, and content analysis of documents produced by Fanmi Nou. Through different waves of migration to the United States, children of Haitian immigrants have lived bicultural lives. In the last four years, however, biculturalism and transnationality have come under growing assault. As a reactionary response to overt hostility, parents, staff members at Fanmi Nou, and children themselves, actively promote a Haitian identity in children. Living under an administration characterized by its hostility to immigrants, Haitian American children pick and choose which aspects of American life to welcome and which to reject. Through a multi-service nonprofit organization, these children and their families selectively engage with the U.S. political, educational, and social systems. I argue that these children and this organization strategically support the healthy development of self under these new restrictions.
