Fremstillingen af en familietradition : en hermeneutisk tolkning

Sammanfattning: The description of a family tradition – a hermeneutic interpretation The purpose of this thesis is to deepen the knowledge of the description of a family tradition and how it can be analysed and interpreted as well as what a family tradition can consist of. The conclusion is that it can consist of more than just dance and music. The family members’ life circumstances, the social contexts, the use of the body, and the content of the repertoire are also described as important aspects of the family tradition according to my interpretation. To fulfil the purpose of the study, I have used a hermeneutic approach to examine the content of two texts (a magister thesis and a film) in relation to the research context, in which they were made, and to my preunderstanding. The thesis contributes to the field of dance pedagogy by offering an example of how a dance pedagogue can obtain knowledge about a repertoire and/or a tradition and thereby develop their understanding of what they pass on through their teaching.
