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
