My interest in examining what happens when you as a teenager are exposed to five or six times the amount of time as ordinary classes to music education derrives from my own experience as a music teacher at a school which has those kind of special music classes. During my career as a music teacher in grades 4 ? 9 in Swedish compulsory school I have taught music classes as well as ordinary classes for 18 years. During this time I have often wondered what this exposure means in retrospect. Is it the conquering and mastering of music skills that students remember when they?ve grown up to young adults, or is it something else?The aim of this study is to find out what it means for teenagers to have music as a school subject every day of their years in Swedish high school.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka om arbete med skönlitterära verk om mobbning kan påverka elevers attityder till mobbning. Studien genomfördes i en gymnasieklass år 1, där nio elever ingick. Efter att ha läst utdrag ur skönlitterära verk och sett en film, som alla behandlade ämnet mobbning ur olika perspektiv, har eleverna samtalat om och i skrift reflekterat över begreppet mobbning och om sina egna erfarenheter om detsamma. Efter en serie på fyra dubbellektioner, genomfördes tre intervjuer. Resultatet visade att eleverna inte upplever att deras attityder till mobbning förändras nämnbart efter att ha arbetat med texterna.

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som baseras på innehållsanalys av två etnografiska dokumentärfilmer. Den första är den världskända ?Nanook of the North?, här får man följa inuiterna under ett år (1922). Den andra filmen är ?Ett år med Samer och Renar?, här får man följa samerna under ett år (1993).

Uppsatsen avser att undersöka hur den Italienska och den Italiensk-Amerikanska maffian gestaltas inom det moderna film och tv-mediet. Undersökningen baseras på den Amerikanska dramaserien Sopranos(David Chase, 1999-2007) och den Italienska filmen Gomorrah(Matteo Garrone, 2008). Teoretiska utgångspunkter för uppsatsen är politisk filosofi (Macchiavelli, Hobbes), Pierre Bourdieus habitus begrepp, ideologikritik, cultural studies och socialpsykologi. Slutsatsen visar en tydlig skillnad mellan de olika filmtexterna vad gäller såväl narrativ, ideologiska aspekter och psykologiskt orienterad människosyn, samt reflekterar över maffiafilmers roll utifrån en populärkulturell kontext..

Muscial theatre for children ? the function of the music in theatrical storytelling for children in Regionteatern Blekinge-Kronoberg. Sweden, Växjö, 2006.The aim of this essay is to examine music in theatre for children. There is not much recent research about the subject so this essay is a way to discern this part of the theatre and to get more people interested in the matter.

The purpose of this study was to, through the life stories of four women and their experiences, thoughts and feelings according to a life in drug dependency reach an increased knowledge about how a dependency can arise, continue and be brought to an end. The question at issue were: How do a small amount of women describe and comprehend their experiences, thoughts and feelings according to their drug addiction seen through a process perspective. In order to answer that question three themes were investigated: the road into dependency, living as an addict and the road to recovery from dependency and the time that follows. The study followed a qualitative method and the theoretical approach was hermeneutic. The results were analysed through a process analyse perspective, from the view of the chosen theoretical perspectives, social constructivism, experience perspective and a psychodynamic perspective.

Den huvudsakliga frågeställningen i C-uppsatsen lyder: ?Vilka skillnader finns det eventuellt i Pixars sätt att skildra könen?? vilket besvaras med hjälp av underfrågorna: ?Hur ser karaktären ut visuellt? Hur skildras karaktären med hjälp av t.ex. musik? Vad gör karaktären? Vad har karaktären för roll i handlingen? Vad har karaktären för relation till de andra?Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera karaktärer från båda könen. Framförallt vill jag lyfta fram kvinnan då Pixars filmer tenderar att fokusera på det manliga könet. Som slutsats kommer jag fram till att det var svårare än jag hade anat att lyfta fram det kvinnliga könet pågrund av att det verkligen är en mångfald av avancerade manliga karaktärer medan kvinnan oftast sitter som biroll med mindre viktiga insatser.

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine six individuals' experiences to talk about the sexual abuse that occurred in their childhood. We interviewed five women and one man, using a phenomenological approach during the work process. The theories emerged as we analyzed our results and appeared to be communication, cognitive theory, validation, trauma theory and taboo. The results showed that the respondents, whom disclosed the abuse as children, were most likely to get a negative response from both formal and informal support systems. While as adults they were confirmed to a greater extent and therefore achieved a better physical and mental wellbeing.

Thamesmead är ett förortsområde i London, söder om Themsen. Dess arkitektur har, sedan det byggdes i slutet av 60-talet, skildrats på film ett flertal gånger. Den karaktäristiska utformningen är ett exempel på 1960- och 70-talets brutalistiska arkitektur som väcker olika känslor hos brukare och arkitekter. I denna text beskrivs Thamesmeads utveckling från planering till nutid. Bakgrunden till de arkitekturideal som styrde områdets utformning behandlas samt delvis sociala förutsättningar.

I denna uppsats har filmljudet i krigsfilmerna Apocalypse Now och Saving Private Ryan undersökts. Detta har gjorts för att försöka bidra med ökad förståelse för filmljudets användningsområde och funktioner, främst för filmerna i fråga, men även för krigsfilm rent generellt. Filmljud i denna kontext omfattar allt det ljud som finns i film, men utesluter dock all ickediegetisk musik. Båda filmerna har undersökts genom en audio-visuell analys. En sådan analys görs genom att detaljgranska båda filmernas ljud- och bildinnehåll var för sig, för att slutligen undersöka samma filmsekvens som helhet då ljudet och bilden satts ihop igen.

Title: Experiential learning in the upper secondary school ? a study of film as a method in music education.

My degree thesis is about how you, as a teacher, can use experiential learning in music teaching in the upper secondary school.
