This study focuses on why people not longer want to be a part of a religious communion they have earlier been a part of. To examine this I have made seven interviews with people who have left their previous communions. Together with the methodological and theoretical discussions on discourse analysis, Richard Jenkins discussions on identity and theories concerning the post-modern society, I have made an analysis on how these people consider their previous communions and its members. They refer i.e. to the social control, the ?closed? culture and the non-questioning-culture that constitute the communions and its techniques.

Denna uppsats handlar om hur nyanlända elever integreras i det svenska skolsystemet. Syftet med studien är att analysera dessa elevers möte med den svenska skolan samt hur de skapar sina identiteter utifrån utsagor om sin skolsituation i förberedelseklass. Undersökningen består av kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta nyanlända elever som nyligen introducerats i den svenska grundskolan samt antingen går i förberedelseklass eller nyligen har slussats vidare från den. Resultatet visar att elevernas identiteter skapas av en rad referenspunkter, varav de mest framträdande är placeringen i förberedelseklass, språket samt relationerna till de ordinarie klassernas elever. Här bildas ett hierarkiskt system mellan eleverna där "vi", "förberedelseklasseleverna" står lägst i rang medan "dem", "svenskarna" står högst.

Studien har sin grund i mitt intresse för musik, rörelse och sång. Sångsamling är den situation då dessa olika element möts. Detta arbete skapades också utifrån min nyfikenhet för att veta hur pedagoger uttrycker att de arbetar med sångsamlingar, vad de ser för positiva och negativa egenskaper samt hur pedagogerna anser att barnen påverkas. För att få reda på detta valde jag att åka ut till förskolor och intervjua pedagoger om hur de ser på deras sångsamlingar. Sedan mejlade jag ett par förskoleklasser intervjufrågorna och fick svar på dessa via mejl.
