Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall expectation placed upon individuals to take responsibility for their own life, has in cultural studies been described in terms of neo-liberalism and defined as an internationally prevailing ideological paradigm (Dean 1999; Smart 2003; Gilbert 2008). In this thematic section of Culture Unbound there are many examples of how, if and when these ideas affect people’s everyday life. The discussions revolve around living with long-term sickness, the organization of healthcare, and questions concerning well-being. This is a special issue that analyses how cultural ideas about self-care and self-care management take practical form, looking for those social practices that are uncertain and ambiguous (Reckwitz 2002). In this introduction, we as theme-editors present the predominant themes that are discussed in more depth in the individual articles. In view of how personal strategies for living and life planning are open to continual revision and how those strategies increasingly emphasize the relationship between identity and the biological (Kaufman 2010), we seek to explore how this is translated into practice. Self-care and its technologies take place in everyday life, and will be examined using an ethnographic approach.

Xenotransplantation as policy problem : Comparing public debate and policies in an international perspective
- 2012

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Xenotransplantation research had a hype in the late 1990s and early 2000s and was by then considered a therapeutic option with huge financial potential which was to become clinical standard practice in the near future. Driven by these economic hopes and by the expectation that xenotransplantation might alleviate the so-called organ shortage, governmental actors in different countries but also international organizations (WHO, OECD, Council of Europe) and EU institutions started to think about the implications of xenotransplantation and how to regulate this potential new technology.Xenotransplantation, however, for several reasons was not an uncontroversial technology. In the aftermath of food crises, the GMO conflict and blood scandals connected to HIV and hepatitis, xenotransplantation not only raised serious risk problems – connected to xenozoonosis – there were also basic human rights and animal welfare at stake. These were hotly discussed not only within science but also by different NGOs.In this situation many countries and international organizations carried out Technology Assessment (TA) and participatory Technology Assessment (pTA) procedures which should inform policy-makers about what to do.In my presentation I will compare attempts of TA and pTA on xenotransplantation in different countries and international organization (Austria, Canada, Denmark, Latvia, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, Switzerland OECD, and the European Commission). The paper addresses the following questions: How was xenotransplantation framed as a topic in these countries and institutions? In which settings of TA and pTA was xenotransplantation discussed? Who was included and excluded in policy making? In what way? What was the impact of TA and PTA on policy-making? What can we learn from these examples for negotiating techno-scientific futures in complex societies?The paper draws on an international comparative research project about the impact of citizen participation in knowledge-intensive policy fields (CIT-PART) financed by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme (Project Number: SSH-CT-2008-225327). For this research, document analysis of literature and media reports has been carried out. One main source, however, were interviews with people involved in pTA and TA either as participants, researchers, civil servants, politicians, stakeholders and practitioners of TA and pTA. For preliminary results see www.cit-art.at.

Crisis and Caring for Inner Selves : Psychiatric Crisis as a Social Classification in Sweden in the 1970s
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Culture Unbound. Journal of Current Cultural Research. - : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 2000-1525 .- 2000-1525. ; 4:3, s. 499-512

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to contribute to the understanding concerning the introduction of crisis psychotherapy in the 1970s in psychiatric clinics in Sweden. The article discusses how this psychotherapy became central in the work of the clinics in supporting patients to well-being and inner growth. The ambition was that patients in an acute crisis-situation would be offered care immediately, aiming at a short and intensive contact with the professionals to avoid hospitalization and long-term sick leave. These ideas were by no means new; in the 1960s, a Western debate had emerged in which the hospitalization in psychiatric clinics had received criticism. In Sweden, the psychiatrist Johan Cullberg was a key actor during the 1970s in the introduction of the psychiatric crisis perspectives. Here, his publication ’The psychic trauma’ from 1971 is analysed. The publication inspired psychiatric clinics to introduce crisis psychotherapy in three different pilot projects. The projects were presented in articles in the Swedish Medical Journal. These articles have also been analysed here. Self-care is highlighted through this material as a concept to be analysed. The question is discussed as to how the concept of the psychiatric crisis initiated and institutionalized a new form of social classification in which the patients were to take more responsibility for their own inner growth.

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Många inom humanistisk-samhällsvetenskaplig forskning har under de senaste åren kommit att intressera sig allt mer för den medicinska diagnosapparaten. Det har varit en forskning mer nyanserad och rikare på perspektiv än den diagnoskritik som finns i t.ex. den österrikiska filosofen Ivan Illichs (1926–2002) verk från 1970-talet eller i kritisk medicinsk antropologi. Antologin Diagnos och identitet kan betraktas som en del av denna utveckling, där åtta forskare inom humaniora och samhällsvetenskap presenterar sin egen forskning och hur den på olika sätt kan synliggöra och problematisera dagens medicinska diagnosapparat. Genom att relatera begreppet diagnos till identitet tar forskarna ytterligare ett steg mot en mer nyanserad diagnoskritik.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article examines the benevolence that young people who use wheelchairsencounter from unknown people. Benevolence is considered as a form of compassionthat hides contempt for what is perceived as deviant from the norm. Byusing Sartre’s idea of the stickiness of matter and Young’s concept of ascribedidentities, benevolence is also being studied as something that turns into internalisedself-loathing among the young wheelchair users. Through the twodifferent perspectives, the cultural bases of benevolence are analysed as powerrelations between people.
