2003-2007
Ph D project. The dissertation examines the formation of specific groups, their interests and positions related to children with disabilities and their education and care in Sweden developed during 1960―1980. The theoretical framework is based on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory of social space, which assumes that social life is based on symbolic and cultural systems of beliefs with respectively specific doxas and symbolic economies. Consequently, the analysis has focused on the agents’ position-takings and their struggle for recognition and preferential rights of interpretations. The reconstruction of a “habilitation sphere” as a subfield to Medicine was conducted through agents, their positions of interests and position-takings as analytical tools. The occupational groups were paediatric doctors/child psychiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers (counsellors), psychologists and pre-school teachers.
