A narrative study regarding the interaction between the hiphop artist Petter and the city of Stockholm (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie hade till syfte att med en narrativ analysmetod studera interaktionen mellan hiphop-rapparen Petter och Stockholm City. De specifika frågorna som vi ville ha svar på i den här studien var hur Petter beskriver Stockholm som plats och som social struktur, hur hans inställning är till staden, hur detta påverkar individens livsstil och identitet, hur Petter beskriver sin relation till staden och hur detta kan förklaras genom tidigare forskning, vilka konsekvenser som Petter ser Stockholm har för honom och för andra som bor i den staden när det gäller etnicitet och sociospatiala faktorer.

Metoden som användes i denna studie var en narrativ analys av 5 raptexter av Petter. Texterna analyserades och indelades i teman i enlighet med det som kallas tematisk analys, som är en form av narrativ analys.

Resultaten visar att Petter beskriver Stockholm som en plats han älskar men också kritiserar hårt. Stadens sociala struktur beskrivs ur ett marxistiskt perspektiv.

Denna studie visar också att Petter beskriver Stockholm som en plats som har sina fula och vackra sidor. Hans inställning till staden är ett slags hat-kärleksförhållande. Petter identifierar sig mycket med staden och detta sätt att identifiera sig med den lokala storstaden man bor i förklaras i teorin om urbanism, så resultaten backas upp av tidigare forskning.

Resultaten visar också att Petter ser Stockholm som en plats som får människor att bete sig på vissa sätt, till exempel att göra människor materialistiska. Resultaten kopplades till teorin om urbanism och diskuterades. En intressant notering är att Petter inte till hundra procent faller i linje med förklaringen av urbanismteorin genom att han inte lägger någon större vikt, om alls, vid etnicitet eller sociospatiala faktorer. Han har mer av ett marxistiskt klassperspektiv, åtminstone i dessa 5 raptextlåtar som analyserades i denna studie. 

Abstract [en]

This study had the purpose of studying, with a narrative analysis method, the interaction between the hiphop-rapper artist Petter and Stockholm City. The specific questions that we wanted answered in this study was how Petter describes Stockholm as a place and as a social structure, how his attitude is towards the city, how this effects the individual`s lifestyle and identity, how Petter describes his relationship with the city and how this can be explained through earlier research, what consequences Petter sees Stockholm has for him and for others who live in that city when it comes to ethnicity and sociospatial factors.

The method used in this study was a narrative analysis of 5 rap texts of Petter. The texts were analyzed and divided into themes in accordance with what is called thematic analysis, which is a form of narrative analysis.

The results show that Petter describes Stockholm as a place he loves but also heavily criticize. The social structure of the city is described from a Marxist perspective.

This study also shows that Petter describes Stockholm as place that has it´s ugly and beautiful sides. His attitude towards the city is a kind of a love-hate relationship. Petter very much identifies with the city and this way of identifying with the local big city you live in is explained in the theory of urbanism, so the results are backed by earlier research.

The results also show that Petter sees Stockholm as a place that makes people behave in certain ways, for example making people materialistic. The results were linked to the theory of urbanism and discussed. An interesting note is that Petter don´t onehundred percent fall in line with the explanation provided by the theory of urbanismin that he doesn’t put much emphasis, if at all, on etnicity or sociospatial factors. He has more of a Marxist class perspective, at least in these 5 rap text songs that were analyzed in this study.
