Min uppsats har utgått ifrån intervjuer av personer som växlat ner i lönearbete för att söka svar i vad som gör nedväxling meningsfullt. Nedväxling innebär att växla ner i tid från lönearbetet för att få mer fritid. Arbete kan vara en faktor för självförverkligande och autonomi, men det kan också vara en källa för alienation. I ett samhälle som ställer höga krav på produktivitet och effektivitet t

Vi lyssnar på deras språkbruk och gör en diskursanalys, men vi lyssnar ock
