Expanding Social Interactionist Horizons : Bridging Disciplines and Approaches
- 2019
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume of selected articles is intended to present topics and questions that were discussed at the VIIth Annual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (EUSSSI), in Topola, Bulgaria, July 04-08 2016. The EUSSSI is a rather young scholarly society that will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2020. It emerged from a conference organized by the University of Pisa in 2010 where efforts to create a permanent transatlantic interaction between American and European scholars working in the symbolic interactionist tradition met with success. The close cooperation between the EUSSSI and the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI) has helped the consolidation of a European scholarly community committed to qualitative social science and symbolic interactionist research.The Topola Conference sought to build upon a series of similar events previously organized in other European countries, beginning with the first confer-ence in Pisa (2010), followed by meetings in Kassel (2011), Rotterdam (2012), Uppsala (2013), Aalborg (2014), and Salford (2015). Conferences were then held in Lodz (2017) and in Lancaster (2018). The VIIth EUSSSI Conference brought together over 70 prominent scholars in the fields of social psychology, sociology, symbolic interactionism, social work, and qualitative methods. This truly international event was attended by scholars representing Bulgaria, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Norway, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, and Austria. The texts of presentations at the conference were further elaborated for the purpose of this publication, and the various professional contacts and interactions that emerged from the exchanges at the conference have been particularly useful in this regard.

Relationell socialpsykologi : klassiska och samtida teorier
- 2013
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sociala relationer är avgörande i all social och personlig utveckling. Vi befinner oss ständigt mitt i dem - när vi möts ansikte mot ansikte, när vi kommunicerar mobilt och när vi i vår ensamhet begrundar våra liv. Arbete, kärlek, familj, vänskap, ovänskap, konkurrens, avund, försoning - allt är uttryck för sociala relationer.I denna bok presenteras teorier som betraktar sociala relationer som samhällets viktigaste element. Vi kallar detta perspektiv för relationell socialpsykologi. Det relationella perspektivet sätter människors samspel i förgrunden medan samhälleliga och psykologiska villkor utgör bakgrund. Bokens teorier är redskap för att analysera möten, situationer och interaktioner samt de sociala, emotionella och psykiska konsekvenser dessa kan få.I boken presenteras klassiska och samtida företrädare för socialpsykologin: George Herbert Mead, Erich Fromm, Simone de Beauvoir, Erving Goffman, Thomas J Scheff, Randall Collins, Arlie Russel Hochschild, Jack Katz, Johan Asplund och George Simmel.

Under urban mask: On rural landscapes with different logics
- 2014
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- As a result of natural hazards, ecological disasters, lawlessness, wars and fluctuations in economy, numerous European landscapes slowly but surely lose their ‘raison d’être’. The consequence of this is a continuous process of degradation, both in respect to infrastructure as well as the social fabric. Effectively, the changes that occur create specific landscapes that encompass elements, which, at a first glance, could be considered both urban and rural. However, these are prone to mechanisms other than the progressive blurring of the rural-urban dichotomy brought on by urbanization; they are subject to a different kind of rationale. Are they just dissonant nests of desolation or merely slumbering resources for future creative uses? How do we view them? How should we handle them? To the fore of this special session we bring analyses of rural landscapes endowed with specific urban traits whose common denominator is their dysfunctional character. The main task of this special session is to unravel the logics of these particular landscapes by means of: (1) Cognition of the factors and mechanisms that contributed to their emergence; (2) Analyses of the processes that take place in them in order to: (a) determine their course and dynamics, (b) establish potential directions of change; (c) propose methodological solutions – how to do research; (3) Generalization of the research results in search of common problems and similarities in order to: (a) formulate universal methodological assumptions, (b) marshal solutions that are useful in decision-making on administrative and institutional levels. The session has attracted 10 presentations addressing any of these issues in the context of dysfunctional rural landscapes with interesting perspectives and innovative approaches. The spectrum of this double session included: post-war rural areas in Amsterdam (J.E. Abrahamse), Zagreb’s peri-urban fringe (A. Toskić, D. Njegač & D. Orešić), rural transformation from urban influences in Olsztyn (M. Wasilewicz-Pszczółkowska, A. Szczepańska & A. Senetra), degraded urban agglomerations in Poland (R. Krzysztofik, I. Kantor-Pietraga & T. Spórna), landscapes transcending rural-urban characteristics in Gothenburg (M. Dymitrow, R. Brauer, G. Holmertz, B. Apostolovska-Toševska, F. Holmberg & L. Johansson), landscape discriminants in valorization of rural areas in Poland (A. Bocheńska-Skałecka, Z. Kuriata, I. Niedźwiecka-Filipiak, A. Podolska & L. Serafin), degraded towns in Silesia (R. Szmytkie), agri-ghettos in central Poland (J. Biegańska, E. Grzelak-Kostulska & M. Dymitrow), Bucharest's Romani ghetto (D. Teodorescu) and urban agriculture in socially deprived areas of Thessaloniki (E. Gavriilidou, D. Dedousi, E. Oureilidou & M. Ritou).
