Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research on violence during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina presents a one-sided picture of the phenomenon ”war violence.” Researchers have emphasized the importance of narratives but they have not focused on stories about war violence, nor have they analyzed the stories of war violence being a product of interpersonal interaction. This article tries to fill this knowledge gap by analyzing the narratives told by survivors of the war in northwestern Bosnia in the 1990s. The aim is to analyze how the survivors describe violence during the war, and also to analyze those discursive patterns that contribute in constructing the category ”war violence.” The construction of the category ”war violence” is made visible in the empirical material when the interviewees talk about (1) a new social order in the society, (2) human suffering, (3) sexual violence, and (4) human slaughter. All interviewees define war violence as morally reprehensible. In narratives on the phenomena ”war violence” a picture emerges which shows a disruption of the social order existing in the pre-war society. The violence practiced during the war is portrayed as organized and ritualized and this creates a picture that the violence practice became a norm in the society, rather than the exception. Narratives retelling violent situations, perpetrators of violence and subjected to violence do not only exist as a mental construction. The stories live their lives after the war, and thus have real consequences for individuals and society.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article I analyze verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s' war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One aim of the article is to analyze markers for reconciliation and implacability, the second is to describe the terms for reconciliation which are actualized in those stories. The interactive dynamics, which occurred during the war, make the post-war reconciliation wartime associated. Narratives about reconciliation, implacability and terms for reconciliation, are not only formed in relation to the war as a whole but also in relation to one's own and others' wartime actions. The narratives about reconciliation become an arena in which we and them are played against each other in different ways not least by rejecting the others' acts during the war. In the interviewees stories implacability is predominant but reconciliation is presented as a possibility if certain conditions are met. These conditions are, for instance, justice for war victims, perpetrators' recognition of crime and perpetrators' emotional commitment (for example the display of remorse and shame).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Consensus and personified conflicts: Representations of elderly care issues in Swedish newspapers Elderly care issues are commonly framed in public discourse. In mass media the representations of such issues are influenced by media logic. The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse how elderly care issues were represented in three Swedish newspapers during the first half of 2007. How were the problems characterized? How were different actors characterized and which roles were they assigned? How are conflicts of interests described? Finally, we aim to discuss how media contribute to an understanding of the complexity of elderly care as a whole. Taken together, the articles do not provide a coherent picture. However, costs, quality of care and demographic issues were common themes. The elderly were commonly represented in personal narratives about. problems that occurred when they needed elderly care. The elderly in the future are projected as more active and demanding than the elderly today. The care workers were active voices in discussions about working conditions, but absent in discussions about their education and professional identity, which was an issue commonly advocated by politicians. Many issues were represented as conflicts between the individual elderly and the care system or between care workers and their employers. More elaborated discussions about how to prioritize between different needs and demands were rare. This can be seen as examples of how the media tends to use personification, simplification and polarization as means to tell interesting stories.

Förståelse, bedömningar och hjälpinsatser : Socialarbetares arbete med män som våldsoffer
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report outlines the background to, and presents the results from the Crime Victim Compensation and Support Authority funded project "Social Workers' understanding of men as victims of crime". The project aimed at describing and analyzing how social workers understand and work with male victims of violence. More precisely, the research has focused on how social workers describe men's vulnerability and how they understand men's needs for assistance, what assistance that is provided and the way the constellations of perpetrators and victims of different gender and contexts in which the violence occurs in affect the understanding of male victims of violence. The study has also been devoted to the question of whether the Support Centers for young crime victims in Sweden provide different types of and different amount of help to young men and women afflicted of violence. The project was conducted in three substudies.The results from substudy 1 show that more young men than women seek support from the Support centers studied. Men predominate in number of cases and in the different categories of crime. The results also show that young men on average receive less assistance over a shorter average duration than young women. This applies irrespective of the category of offense that the vulnerability applies to. Furthermore, the young men, compared to the women, proportionally receive fewer interventions characterized as support and a greater proportion of interventions in the form of information. The results also show that the young men are referred on for further action to a lesser extent than is the case for women.The results from substudy 2 show that social workers tend to focus on whether, and to what extent, young men who are victims of violence themselves have behaved provocatively before the violence incident and if they have put themselves in a social situation that could be interpreted as having contributed to an escalation of the violence they have been subjected to. The results from substudy 2 also show that social workers talk about the men as active in the violent situations they have been involved in and dwell on the extent to which the young men's own actions have contributed to the violence. The results also show that young men who are victims of violence are described as "reluctant" victims who are trying to cope with their situation on their own without the involvement of professional or other helper. The young men are also described as reluctant to talk about their feelings.The results of substudy 3 show that social workers believe that young men, when they become victims of violence, risks losing their sense of autonomy, initiative and decisiveness, that is, attributes that are often linked to the dominating cultural image of masculinity. Furthermore, the results show that social workers estimate that men's practicing of their masculinity, but also the response that men who are traumatized get from society, creates difficulties for them to get help. The results from substudy 3 also shows that attributes and actions that can be connected to the masculinity of young men's, as well as a lack of such attributes and actions are considered to be adequate explanations for the violence the men has suffered. When it comes to violence in public places it is the masculinity that explains the violence and its escalation. When it comes to domestic violence it is the lack of expected male attributes and actions that are used as explanations for the violence that have occurred.The discussion is devoted to the question of how the results should be understood based on the concepts of self-performance, interpretation, negotiation and categorizations, and the consequences the results obtained should have for gender sensitive social work given to abused men.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Studien, som redovisas, lyfter fram betydelsen av styrdokumentens och lokala arbetsplaners utformning samt lärares undervisning för att utveckla elevers kommunikativa förmåga uttryckt i förberett tal. I studien görs en retorisk analys av en elevtext, ett manus till ett förberett tal, från en sydafrikansk kontext. I manuset kan tre topos urskiljas, byggnader, samhälle/familj och kroppen, vilka utgör ramen för den retoriska analysen. Vidare visar analysen att eleven i sin text, My name is HIV, tydligt använder sig av retoriska grepp på ett övertygande, intressant och associativt sätt. Avslutningsvis för jag en didaktisk diskussion om undervisning i tal i en svensk kontext, där jag menar att ett kritiskt reflekterande över skrivande och i synnerhet tal måste övervägas.

#Metoo : En kamp för socialt erkännande och rättvisa

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- #Metoo. A struggle for social recognition and justiceIn the article Honneth's theory of social recognition and Frickers' theory of epistemic injustice is used to analyse testimonies of sexual harassment. The study is based on a content analysis of the testimonies about sexual harassment that are included in the 65 Swedish #metoo calls. Those who testified talk about what, with help of Honneth's theory, can be described as a systematic withholding of social recognition. They are denied solidarity and rights through sexualized physical and psychological abuse, which has a negative impact on their basic self-confidence, self-respect, and self-esteem. In practice, the actions of the perpetrators result in both personal suffering for the women who has been subjected to sexual harassment and to the exclusion of them from social contexts. The latter takes place by the women either leaving the context in which they have been subjected to sexual harassment or to their participation in the context being conditional. For example, they must refrain from telling what they have been through or they lack support when they do. In the article, the difficulty of mobilizing support for those who are subjected to sexual harassment is interpreted as an effect of epistemic injustice.

- Living with a global pandemic. A study of people's worries in relation to Covid-19 in SwedenCovid-19 as a health crisis has affected all spheres of private and public life, both nationally and internationally, locally and globally.This article aims to contribute knowledge about people's levels of worry during the pandemic's first phase in Sweden.Worry is examined in relation to sociodemographic background, social capital, and judgements concerning potential threats and the national measures implemented.The theoretical framework utilized resides upon concepts and theories of worry and social capital.The data was collected in Sweden in April and May 2020 through an online survey of experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic.Multiple regression analysis and multiple correspondence analysis revealed that higher levels of worry were closely associated both with the judgement that the national measures implemented were not correct, and with the perception that Covid-19 as an illness comprised a greater threat than its financial and social consequences.These factors were also related to advanced age, chronic illness, and lower levels of social capital.Our findings point to the need for further sociological research - both quantitative and qualitative - concerning the pandemic's various consequences in everyday life.

Bortom biovälfärden : Intersektionella orättvisor i barndomar och den sociala barnavården
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Presentationen utgår från den delen av min doktorsavhandling och senare vidareutvecklingar som kretsar kring den sociala barnavårdens praktik; mer specifikt barnavårdsutredningar (barn upp till 12 år) och eventuella rekommenderade åtgärder som respons på intersektionella orättvisor i barndomar. Jag belyser förändringsbehov och möjligheter till ett socialt arbete där rättighets- och rättviseperspektiv hamnar i förgrunden - bortom biovälfärdens dilemman.Ett av biovälfärdens dilemman är att säkerställa att barndomar är fria från våld samtidigt som våldets och orättvisornas symptom är i blickpunkten, inte problemet och orättvisorna i sig. Fokus på långtgående risker och psykosomatiska konsekvenser synliggör inte bara vissa våldssituationer och våldsformer framför andra. Det förstärker även professionellas och forskningens betydelse i utredningar. Dock medför detta också en objektifiering av barnkroppar varför barns delaktighet som rättighetsbärande subjekt med röst blir svårt att leva upp till. Vidare diskuteras avsaknaden av respons på orättvisor i form av rasism och våld utanför hemmet samt åtgärdernas begränsningar i relation till skydd. En slutsats som dras är att skydd på inget enkelt sätt kan likställas med insatser annat än när det rör sig om tvångsåtgärder. Möjligheterna är många till en bättre hantering av problem genom förändrade lösningar. Jag diskuterar behovet av att utforma nya insatser som är frivilliga och skyddande samt vikten av att stärka unga människors delaktighet såväl i insatsutformningen som vid rekommendation av insatser. Det räcker dock inte att enbart identifiera nya insatsbehov så länge insatser förutsätter vuxnas samtycke. Förändringsbehov avseende dessa villkor behöver därför ses över.
