Regulatory Traits in Cultural Evolution
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of WiVACE 2012. ; , s. 1-9
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We call "regulatory traits" those cultural traits that are transmitted through cultural interactions and, at the same time, change individual behaviors directly influencing the outcome of future cultural interactions. The cultural dynamics of some of those traits are studied through simple simulations. In particular, we consider the cultural evolution of traits determining the propensity to copy, the number of potential demonstrators from whom one individual may copy, and conformist versus anti conformist attitudes. Our results show that regulatory traits generate peculiar dynamics that may explain complex human cultural phenomena. We discuss how the existence and importance of regulatory traits in cultural evolution impact on the analogy between genetic and cultural evolution and therefore on the possibility of using evolutionary biology inspired models to study human cultural dynamics.

“For explorers by explorers” : A discursive analysis of cruise tourism in Norway
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Norwegian company Hurtigruten operates ships cruising along the Norwegian coast and has played an important role in tourism for over a century. This article provides a multimodal discourse analysis of the website advertising Hurtigruten’s most popular journey, drawing on a critical tourism studies approach. It aims to answer the question as to what central themes emerge in tourism discourse on Norway, targeted at an international audience. Central characteristics of tourism discourse (Dann 1996), i.e., strangerhood, conflict, authenticity, and playfulness, are shown to be crucial in the analysed material. The paper discusses the notion of authenticity as a performative strategy in the promotion of Norwegian cruise tourism. One central aim of this paper is finding out what and how the notion of “authentically Norwegian” is advertised. The results imply that these topics, and especially the notion of authenticity, are aligned with general tourism imaginaries, which are similar globally.

Entrepreneurship, culture, and the epigenetic revolution : a research note
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We show how the type of alcohol consumed is related to the type of entrepreneurship present for economies in Europe. We differentiate between beer-, wine-, and spirit-drinking countries and distinguish between productive, unproductive, and destructive entrepreneurship. The underlying links do not emerge from drinking per se but rather the drinking habits and taste for beverage types capture deep cultural features and cultural similarities amongst the countries. Societies that prefer to drink beer are closer to each other culturally than those which prefer drinking wine or spirits. Therefore, the taste for alcohol type is merely an instrument in explaining cultural and institutional differences across entrepreneurship. Broadly speaking, beer-drinking countries are characterized by higher shares of productive entrepreneurship, wine-drinking countries with unproductive entrepreneurship, and spirit-drinking countries with destructive entrepreneurship. We discuss mechanisms in which the results are found and highlight a new research agenda, emphasizing the potential role of epigenetics.

Activism at Home. Architects Dwelling between Politics, Aesthetics, and Resistance
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Activism at Home offers a unique study of architects’ own dwellings; homes purposely designed to express social, political, economic, and cultural critiques. Through thirty case studies by architectural scholars, this book highlights different forms of activism at home from the early twentieth century to today. The architect-led experiments in activist living discussed in this book include the dwellings of Ralph Erskine, Paulo Mendes Da Rocha, Charles Moore, Flora Ruchat-Roncati, Kiyoshi Seike, and many others. Offering candid appraisals of alternative living solutions that formulate a response to rising real estate prices, economic inequality, social alienation, and mounting environmental and cultural challenges, Activism at Home is more than a historical study; it is an appeal to architects to use the discipline’s tools to their full potential, and a plea to scholars to continue bringing architecture's activist practices into focus—whether at home or elsewhere.

Encoding object-oriented democracy in Swedish museums : implementing method of the thing in exhibition-making
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As museums face conflicting demands on maintaining and caringfor their collections, opening for visitor engagement, and beingmore inclusive in their practice, new approaches are needed tomuseum work. This article introduces a democratic and inclusiveapproach focusing on the relational properties of the artefact–the Method of the Thing (Tigenes Metode). We use interviewswith different museum professionals in Sweden. The methodallows knowledge to emerge from the convergence of differentactors within and outside the museum who negotiate theirexpertise, (professional) roles and technical infrastructure of themuseum by foregrounding the object rather than the curators’story. We use the encoding/decoding model to discuss thestrengths and weaknesses of the method where centring theobject allows for a process of democratisation and polyvocality totake shape, thus allowing divergent narratives to emerge.

Aesthetics and Politics : A Nordic Perspective on How Cultural Policy Negotiates the Agency of Music and Arts
- 2018. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Through comparative and integrated case studies, this book demonstrates how aesthetics becomes politics in cultural policy. Contributors from Norway, Sweden and the UK analyse exactly what happens when art is considered relevant for societal development, at both a practical and theoretical level. Cultural policy is seen here as a mechanism for translating values, that through organized and practical aesthetical judgement lend different forms of agency to the arts. What happens when aesthetical value is reinterpreted as political value? What kinds of negotiations take place at a cultural policy ground level when values are translated and reinterpreted? By addressing these questions, the editors present an original collection that effectively centralises and investigates the role of aesthetics in cultural policy research.

Att konstruera en arbetarförfattare. Maria Sandel i litteraturkritiken : Constructing a working-class author. Reception of Maria Sandel (1870–1927) in the press of her time

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Analys av den dåtida pressens mottagande av arbetarförfattaren Maria Sandels (1870–1927) prosaverk under arbetarrörelsens genombrottstid i det tidiga 1900-talets Sverige. Arbetarlitteratur var då ett i den borgerliga offentligheten nytt och okänt fenomen som kritikerna hade svårt att benämna och förhålla sig till. Arbetarklassen och dess erfarenheter ansågs inte höra hemma i den erkända (borgerliga) kulturen. Att Maria Sandel dessutom var kvinna var ytterligare ett problem för kritikerna, eftersom det inte ansågs passande för en kvinna att skriva om de ’låga’ och tabubelagda ämnen som aktualiserades inom arbetarklassen. Samtidigt uppfattades denna främmande miljö och dessa tabubelagda ämnen som intressanta, och Sandels djärva och klassmedvetna sätt att angripa sitt stoff väckte både anstöt och fascination. Kapitlet undersöker hur kritiker försöker navigera mellan dessa spänningsfyllda poler och komma tillrätta med både klassperspektivet, det anstötliga stoffet och Maria Sandels genusroll.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dealing with an alternative view of man in the early Swedish 1900s. A comparison is made between the ideas in the criminologist and psychodynamic psychiatrist Andreas Bjerre and crime fictions by working-class authors of the same period: Maria Sandel, Elf Norrbo, Dan Andersson, and Martin Koch. The comparison demonstrates a joint effort “to understand without forgiving”, with moral judgements and attitudes present but subordinated.
