Of the Titanic, the Bounty, and Other Shipwrecks
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Intervalla. - : Franklin University. - 2296-3413. ; 3, s. 50-54

- The metaphor of the ship has always been extremely powerful in the global narrative about the common fate of planet Earth. The famous image of the Blue Marble was instrumental in the construction of the imaginary of the planet as a spaceship roaming in the universe. The ship evokes the idea of both finiteness and unity. In many languages "to be in the same boat" means to share the same destiny, thereby, to collaborate in order to operate the ship. The corollary of that metaphor is the existence of the open ocean, that is, of a risky space in which the ship and its crew are navigating. I will discuss about what these metaphors say - and hide - about the ecological crisis, or the the collapse of modern civilization using the key concept of this workshop.

Demarketing Tourism for Sustainability : Degrowing Tourism or Moving the Deckchairs on the Titanic?
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Sustainability. - : MDPI. - 2071-1050. ; 13:3, s. 1-15
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Demarketing is generally recognized as that aspect of marketing that aims at discouraging customers in general or a certain class of customers in particular on either a temporary or permanent basis and has been increasingly posited as a potential tool to degrow tourism and improve its overall sustainability, particularly as a result of so-called overtourism. The paper provides an overview of the various ways in which demarketing has been applied in a tourism context and assesses the relative value of demarketing as a means of contributing to sustainability and degrowing tourism. It is argued that demarketing can make a substantial contribution to degrowing tourism at a local or even regional scale, but that the capacity to shift visitation in space and time also highlights a core weakness with respect to its contribution at other scales. The paper concludes by noting that the concept of degrowth also needs to be best understood as a continuum of which demarketing is only one aspect.

Servants of a 'sinking Titanic' or actors of change? : contested identities of social workers in Sweden
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Historically, social workers have been an integral part of a well-developed welfare state in Sweden. However, due to the neoliberal changes, which have seen the weakening of the support system for vulnerable groups and individuals, the traditional ‘solidary role’ of social workers has rapidly altered. This has created uncertainty and dilemmas for the identification of many social workers, who still perceive themselves as promoters of ‘welfare of the people’. This article dwells, therefore, on neoliberal transformations and the changing professional identity of practitioners. The study is based on a comprehensive empirical work of interviews with social workers. The results show a growing and widespread unease with new professional roles and functions of social workers as bureaucrats within a neoliberalised organisation of public social work. Some social workers still try to find creative and new ways of working in solidarity, while others, although critical, see adjustment to the new organisational frames as a way to continue their work. It is argued that social workers are not passive actors in the process of neoliberalisation of public social work in Sweden but could actively take different stances and choose their own identifications, in order to maintain the solidary role of social workers.

The Convergence of the Twain : Hardy and Bainbridge on the Loss of the Titanic
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Lines and traces. - Göteborg : Acta universitatis Gothoburgensis.
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is a commonplace in criticism to see irony and coincidence as pervading features of Thomas Hardy's novels. Fate, circumstance, and disillusionment in the face of life's ironies are embedded in his narratives. The same can be said about Beryl Bainbridge's novels, and it is surprising that this similarity in philosophical vision and mode of narration has never been noted in the attempts made to place Bainbridge in the English literary tradition. Although different in style, Hardyand Bainbridge convey the same sense of determinism and frustration of expectationsas well as sympathy with human shortcomings and the resilience of the individualat the mercy of impersonal forces.

Do intermediate feature coalitions aid explainability of black-box models?
- 2023

- This work introduces the notion of intermediate concepts based on levels structure to aid explainability for black-box models. The levels structure is a hierarchical structure in which each level corresponds to features of a dataset (i.e., a player-set partition). The level of coarseness increases from the trivial set, which only comprises singletons, to the set, which only contains the grand coalition. In addition, it is possible to establish meronomies, i.e., part-whole relationships, via a domain expert that can be utilised to generate explanations at an abstract level. We illustrate the usability of this approach in a real-world car model example and the Titanic dataset, where intermediate concepts aid in explainability at different levels of abstraction.

Corpus linguistics 25+years on

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the history of English language research on computerised corpora, the year 1977 marks an important event with the birth of ICAME - the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English - which set off international co-operation on a large scale. The use of computer corpora, from being a fringe activity, has become a mainstream methodology. Yet there was corpus life also before ICAME. I have sometimes been asked why, in the unsupportive linguistic environment of the 1960s, I chose to become 'a corpus linguist' - there might have been moments when being so named felt like discovering your name on the passenger list for the Titanic. This contribution is very much a personal memoir of those early days when the first corpora were being compiled when computers were rare, expensive, unreliable and inaccessible to ordinary folk - huge machines located inside glass doors and operated by engineers dressed in white coats, and when CD only stood for Corps Diplomatique.
