“När jag dansar känner jag mig fri!” : Danselevers erfarenheter av dans som konstform i relation till psykiskt måendeJohan, Söderholm January 2024 (has links)
Students of the aesthetics programme dance is a group of people that doesn't get much coverage in the field of dance for health science but the students are in the age group for high risk for mental health issues. This study is examining fifteen persons' written narrated stories about their experience of dance as art form and the aesthetics programme dance. The study’s purpose is to analyze dance of art forms' effect on mental wellbeing from the participants' experience and description of it. The study will also explore what aesthetics judgment and wording the participant uses to describe dance as an art form in the form of positive and negative judgements. This study uses pragmatic theory based on John Dewey’s work and a narrative method in form as written text as a way to gather data. The results show that dance as an artform has both positive and negative effects on the participant's mental wellbeing but a majority that is positive. Dance as an artform can be a natural way to connect and gives another aspect of communication that isn’t verbal. Dance as an artform can be a way to handle strong emotions and also be a break from stress. Part of the study’s result that shows negative aspects with dance as an artform is self-judgment, body image and lack of identity. The first two of the negative aspects show results that can be drawn to environment and traditions as a main factor for those experiences. In the study’s discussion it compares its results with other works in the field of dance and health and also lifts potential new angels to explore dance as an artform and mental health for further studies.

”När [barn] möter en dragartist möter de en sagofigur” : Sagostunder med dragartister på folkbibliotek. / ”When [children] encounter a dragqueen they see a fictional character” : Drag storytimes in public libraries.Landgren, Rebecka, Nykänen, Jennifer January 2023 (has links)
This study aims to acquire knowledge about the concept of drag storytimes in public libraries. It addresses research questions regarding their relation to the libraries' mission, as well as associated experiences with and perceptions of these events. The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews with different stakeholders, alongside non-participatory observation, as well as media and social media analysis. The theoretical frameworks of agonistic pluralism and visibility are employed. Findings show that drag storytimes promote accessibility, representation, and acceptance of diversity, aligning with libraries' democratic mission. They also bridge the gap between the art form drag and literature, serving as a means for libraries to encourage and facilitate children's reading. Findings also highlight misconceptions and misrepresentations of drag storytimes in media and public discourse. While libraries have encountered challenges and resistance when hosting drag storytimes, they have also received significant appreciation and support. Resistance is based on concerns about sexualization, indoctrination and unsuitability for children. These concerns are addressed with observations and interviews, which refute these notions. This study finds that the purpose of drag storytimes lies in promoting reading and providing entertaining experiences for children, emphasizing their child-centric nature. Opinions and perceptions influenced by adults' perspectives, biases, and fears impact the power dynamics among libraries, the public, and politics. This study underscores the challenges faced by libraries in this dynamic and emphasizes their resilience. It underlines the importance of information dissemination, communication, and destigmatization of drag and drag storytimes. By engaging in open conversations, librarians can address misconceptions, confront prejudices, and broaden perspectives.
