Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudierSammanfattning : This essay aims to ask and answer two questions: to which extent is South American colonialism represented in textbooks used in the current swedish curriculum, and furthermore can those textbooks enable intercultural teaching in swedish classrooms? To this end, the theory of intercultural teaching provided the framework and cultural discourse analysis was used as the tool by which the texts were analysed.

Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologiSammanfattning : Behind the Star-Spangled Banners curtain – an ethnological analysis of the musical Hamilton The purpose of this study is to analyze how imagined communities are constructed in the musical Hamilton (2015) and how this affects a Swedish versus an American audience’s view of the American Revolution.

The results of the study show that there is a marked difference in the view a Swedish versus an American audience have regarding Hamilton. LÄS MER
