Svenska kulturarvet, andlig förflackning och postmodernism : En studie av ett svenskt spelmansförbund: 1958 till vår samtid

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay is to analyze how the ideas of the Swedish national romantic period have been expressed in the early years of Hälsinglands Spelmansförbund, how these may have changed over time, and whether national romantic ideas remain in today's Hälsinglands Spelmansförbund. The author uses qualitative analysis with content analysis to analyze statutes from 1958, the memorandum Folkmusiken i Hälsingland genom tiderna from 1967 and the 1995 statutes: The statutes of 1958 to indicate whether national romance has been expressed in any way in the Hälsinglands spelmansförbunds early years, Folkmusiken i Hälsingland genom tiderna from 1967 in relation to changes in the folk music field, to show changes in Hälsinglands spelmansförbund, and statutes from 1995 to highlight our time and if ideas from the national romance remain in Hälsinglands spelmansförbund. The main results are that national romantic ideas have existed and exists in Hälsingland Spelmansförbund. However, one can see a slight difference in our contemporary Hälsingland spelmansförbund, with more focus on our time than our past. The author concludes that this may be a result of the postmodern thoughts on the alienation of our history. Postmodernism is also a theory the author uses to prove change in the folk music field.
