"Du kan ta en Norrlänning från Norrland men du kan inte ta Norrland från en Norrlänning" : En kvalitativ undersökning av identitetsskapande hos Pitebor bosatta i storstäder

Description

In this essay i examine how five persons from the city of Piteå who have moved to big cities in Sweden identifies with different places. My aim is to show a more ​heterogeneous image of Norrland and its inhabitants. In the essay I examine how my informants imbue certain words and practises, such as dialects or the act of visiting their hometown, with meaning and how this affects their identification towards the places that they call home. In this essay I understand places not as merely physical and material but also as socially constructed. Therefore I see the construction of places as an important aspect of my informants identification.
