Provocative Engagement : documentary audiences and performances in The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence

- Through an analysis of The Act of Killing (2012) and The Look of Silence (2014), this article explores the idea of provocative engagement as a way of extending our understanding of the affective dimensions of documentary and its role in civic engagement. The study draws on qualitative research, based on interviews with the filmmaker, and interviews with 52 viewers in Denmark, Sweden, Japan and Colombia. This data is used to explore the idea of subjectivity in documentary through the performance of memory, power and impunity in both films concerning the perpetrators and victims of the Indonesian genocide of 1965. Overall, our analysis highlights how performance documentary challenges the affective relationships between filmmakers and their audiences, and in this particular case we see a type of raw, provocative engagement with the act of documenting genocide, the act of watching, and what this means to people in the context of their political and lived realities.

Push-Pull Dynamics : Producer and Audience Practices for Television Drama Format the Bridge
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores push-pull dynamics in television drama production and reception. Push-pull dynamics are understood as complicated power relations in the transactions between television industries and audiences. The research is underpinned by qualitative data, drawing on more than 170 participants in interviews, focus groups, and participant observations, with producers and audiences from Northern Europe and North and South America. A case study of The Bridge (FX, 2013-2014) crime drama and its adaptations is used to think through the idea of push-pull dynamics. A key question concerns how power is performed in television itself, referring to work in cultural studies and Williams's notion of the television experience. The Bridge crime drama and its adaptations underscore the particularities of power for television industries and audiences: this is not a tale of surrender to global industrial forces; rather, this is a story of the reality of power and the struggle over how producers and audiences make sense of global television.

Roamers : Audiences on the Move Across Entertainment Platforms In Southeast Asia

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Media industries recognise the extent to which the potential audiences for their products are now made up significantly of “roamers,” people finding diverse routes through the options available and combining them in different ways. The main research question in this article is: what sort of precise movements, combinations and connections become possible for roaming audiences in rapidly expanding commercial entertainment platforms? The article draws on emergent findings of a qualitative audience study in Malaysia and Indonesia, analysing patterns of movement across streaming services, e.g. Netflix, entertainment platforms, e.g. YouTube, and national cable and public television channels. Through empirical and theoretical research, we critically examine how the virtual and material are intertwined in audience mobility and motility. Through the use of visualisations of the media landscape by roamers, the trope of the “Netflix Park” signifies how motility is closely tied to media freedom and power. In our study, audiences adapt to life in a commodified culture; roamers combine global entertainment platforms and other piracy services, becoming enmeshed in the commercial foreclosure of new media spheres.

Spectacle of excess : The passion work of professional wrestlers, fans and anti-fans
- 2015
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Cultural Studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 1367-5494 .- 1460-3551. ; 18:2, s. 174-189

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines how professional wrestlers, promoters and audiences perform the passion work of sports entertainment. Rather than celebrate professional wrestling as a popular phenomenon, this articles seeks to use empirical research on live wrestling events to understand the meaning of passion work in sports entertainment. In Roland Barthes’ seminal article on professional wrestling in Mythologies, he describes wrestling as a spectacle of excess, where passions such as love and hate are exaggerated through the expressions of wrestlers and audience members. A key research question concerns how the passion work in professional wrestling involves different types of labour, the physical and emotional work of wrestlers and event organisers, and the work of audiences, fans and anti-fans interacting with professional performers. The article uses ethnographic research of professional wrestling to explore how different types of passionate labour re-enforce and legitimate each other, shaping an emotional structure to a spectacle of excess. The overall argument in this article is that the meaning of passion work in sports entertainment highlights what Stephen Coleman calls a public performance of power relations, where the particularities of power are made visible through the collective labour of wrestlers and audience members. Power is neither industry led nor in the hands of audience members; rather, it is made visible through the work of promoters, wrestlers and audiences as a collective performance in a high-energy, adrenalin-fuelled live event.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter I take Barthes’ concept of transported immobility and allow it to travel from the dining car of a French train to the forests of Sweden and to my own experience of living in a digital media blackout zone. In ‘Dining Car’, Barthes’ reflects on the contrary experience of eating an elaborate meal in an upscale restaurant carriage. This entire mise-en-scene Barthes’ describes as a ‘mirage of solidity’ (1979: 143); the thirteen waves in the dining car experience ‘conceal by a protocol of attention its very contingency’ (1979: 141). For Barthes, the protocol of attention surrounding the elaborate dining car experience is a mythic substitute, a ‘spectacle of stability’ (1979: 144). We can extend this idea of transported immobility from its original story of the dining car to other kinds of contrary experiences. Here, the mix of mobility and immobility is suggestive of how movement and transportation are accompanied by constraints on mobility. It is also suggestive of how objects and embodied experiences are also connected to subjectivities, stories and myths. What Barthes describes in the idea of transported immobility is how some experiences have a contrary mixture of freedom and constraint, of spectacle and mundane reality. In this work I describe the nine waves of the nature hotspot experience, where I am tethered to a particular indoor and outdoor place and dependent on intermittent digital media connection. Such tethering fixes me to a particular place in the rural forest that enables WiFi, provides access and a flow of communication in that moment of connection, and is a source of frustration as rural infrastructures and inclement weather routinely affect the experience, a non-normative experience of media breakdown and repair that challenges our assumptions of living in a digital society.

Who killed Utopia? Cult conspiracy drama and a television imaginary
- 2021

Ingår i: International journal of cultural studies. - : Sage Publications. - 1367-8779 .- 1460-356X. ; 24:1, s. 56-71

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on the production and reception of television drama, specifically the case study of conspiracy thriller Utopia. The empirical research is based on 21 production interviews with the makers of the drama and 56 interviews with audience members and fans of the drama. The concept of the television imaginary is used as an analytical lens for investigating the various ways television itself, and audiences and fans, are imagined and implicated in the cancellation of a cult drama series. In particular, Barthes’ early writing on a cultural imaginary is used to underscore the contrariness, the contra positions which creative producers, audiences and fans take, in the conspiracies and judgements surrounding the cancellation. Utopia conspiracies within and outside the television industry serve to legitimise and penalise the drama as a cult form; these conspiracies energise the subjective processes that shape an future imaginary for Utopia and drive its afterlife.

Factors of importance for maintaining work as perceived by men with arthritis
- 2013

- OBJECTIVE: Employment rates are significantly lower among individuals with arthritis compared to a general population. There is, however, limited research about how men with arthritis perceive their ability to maintain working. The aim of this study was thus to explore their perception of this.PARTICIPANTS: Nine employed men with arthritis were purposively sampled.METHODS: Interviews were performed and were informed by the central concepts of the Model of Human Occupation. The Empirical Phenomenological Psychological method was modified and used to analyze and interpret collected data.RESULTS: The findings showed that men with arthritis perceived a desire to work, adjusted their activity pattern, were aware of their own capabilities, had good work conditions, had environmental support and used effective medication to maintain their ability to work.CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that health care professionals can help men with arthritis to find strategies and a balance between recreation and work. Ultimately, this knowledge could guide health care professionals to target men needing interventions to prevent sick leave.
