The Making of Resistance : Brazil’s Landless Movement and Narrative Enactment
- 2017
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book advances a theoretical approach that recognizes social movements as contingent enterprises. It explores the endurance of social movements over time, by developing analytical tools to study how social movement heterogeneities are simultaneously acknowledged and articulated together, through collective narration and practices. With a unique empirical analysis of one particular narrative – the story of Brazil’s Landless Movement – this book portrays a narrative revisited and revised by movement participants, a story revived through enactment. This book addresses the increasing academic audience seeking to study, and theorize, the multi-colored phenomena of resistance and social movements.

- Heritage tourism scholars have used notions of performativity and affectto study the ways tourists actively construct and assign meaning to theirexperience of heritage. However, these concepts remain under-exploredin the context of personal heritage tourism. Personal heritage tourismreflects an interest to experience a heritage of personal affectiverelevance, acknowledging that perceptions of heritage are fluid andsubjective. I contribute insight into the conceptualization of personalheritage tourism by exploring the performances and affectiveentanglements that make genealogy meaningful in the present duringtravels to an ancestral homeland. Through a qualitative study ofSwedish-American ancestral tourists, I propose that processes ofmeaning making in ancestral tourism include enacting the family,partaking in everyday life, and connecting with mundane physicalelements of the past. These performances unfold at sites historical andcurrent in the ancestral homeland. Personal heritage tourism thus findsmeaning though affective entanglements with the past, but alsothrough social interactions and mundane activities based in a familiarpresent. These affective entanglements occur at different locations, notall directly connected to the personal past.

Performing genealogy through travel narratives

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tourism scholars have yet to consider ancestral tourism as a stepping-stone in genealogical identity formation. Amateur genealogists use information available to them about their ancestors and the past to form stories of the self in the present. Through a study of the travel narratives of Swedish-American ancestral tourists, I link the concept of genealogical identities with theories of performance, impression management and narrative identity to explore this phenomenon. The findings reveal how ancestral tourists bring into existence their genealogical identities through the performative narration of their ancestral travels. Authenticity in these experiences emerges through the presentation of a coherent story of the self that gives off desired impressions of kinship and ethnicity, subsequently legitimizing a genealogical identity.

Dynamics of the Livestock Revolution : Marginalization and Resistance in Southern Brazil
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The increased meat consumption during the past 15 years has boosted a dramatic production increase called the Livestock Revolution. This case study from Rio Grande do Sul indicates that the Livestock Revolution causes prosperity for large-scale food processing companies, while small-scale farmers are being marginalized. Utilizing the food regime analysis, this polarizing pattern is interpreted as an expression of the 'corporate food regime,' which is challenged by an alternative agri-food paradigm. As farmer resistance constitutes alternatives that fuel the dynamics of the Livestock Revolution, it is argued that these tensions reflect an ongoing crisis of the contemporary food regime.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We examine trends in innovation output for two highly ranked innovative countries: Finland and Sweden (1970-2013). Our novel dataset, collected using the LBIO (literature-based innovation output) method, suggests that the innovation trends are positive for both countries, despite an extended downturn in the 1980s. The findings cast some doubt on the proposition that the current stagnation of many developed countries is due to a lack of innovation and investment opportunities. Our data show that Finland catches up to, and passes, Sweden in innovation output in the 1990s. In per capita terms, Finland stays ahead throughout the period. We find that the strong Finnish performance is largely driven by innovation increase in just a handfull of sectors, but is not restricted to few companies. Both countries saw a rise in innovation during the dot-com era and the structural changes that followed. Since 2000 however, Sweden has outperformed Finland in terms of total innovations, especially in machinery and ICT, while the Finnish rate of innovation has stabilized. We suggest that these patterns may be explained by different paths of industrial renewal.

Innovation and industrial renewal in Sweden, 1970–2007
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores the question of whether the Swedish innovation output of the 1970s and 1980s (and the following decades) indicates structural lock-in or renewal. It is motivated by inconsistent explanations in the current literature about the relation between the economic slowdown and subsequent industrial renewal, as well as a lack of research focusing, in this context, on the primary driver of economic growth and structural change: innovation. By observing the number and type of innovations as they hit the market, the data in this paper tell a real time story about micro level innovation activity during the time that the economic crisis unfolds. The analysis considers Swedish innovation output between 1970 and 2007, characterising the number of significant innovations, their novelty, and their origin (including size of firm and industry sector). Three central findings emerge, defined by both the time period and the character of innovations. First, the magnitude of innovation activity peaks in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Second, starting in the late 1970s, small firms begin to outperform large firms in terms of both innovation quantity and quality (i.e. world market novelties). Third, the 1980s saw a distinct shift in the industrial origin of innovations, with software and telecom becoming the leaders in innovation output. The findings suggest that the observed industrial renewal is more nuanced than what has emerged from previous research.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Under senare delen av 1800-talet tog den svenska industrialiseringsprocessen fart. En viktig del utgjordes av sågverksindustrin i landets norra delar, vars kraftigt ökade produktion ledde till att efterfrågan på skog och skogsmark tilltog. Skogsmarken ägdes till betydande del av självägande bönder. Mot 1800-talets slut sålde många av dem äganderätten till sin mark till olika sågverksbolag. Denna utveckling lade grund för en ideologiskt färgad samhällsdebatt tiden kring sekelskiftet 1900, i vilken bondeklassen uppfattades som hotad och utnyttjad av exploaterande krafter. Detta mynnade år 1906 ut i en lag som förbjöd aktiebolag från att köpa jordbruksfastigheter.I denna artikel undersöks utvecklingen på lokal nivå i en socken i norra Sverige under perioden 1870 till 1906. Bland annat visas att andelen bolagsägd jord under perioden ökade från 3 till 58 procent, speciellt tiden efter 1880. Vidare framgår att konkurrensen om marken var stor. Många bolag var potentiella köpare, vilket successivt drev upp priserna och gjorde det svårt för säljarna att bedöma marknadsvärdet. I vissa fall kunde värdet på en fastighet stiga med tusentals procent inom loppet av några decennier. Nybyggen såldes oftare än gamla hemman och var föremål för spekulationer av såväl bolag som bönder.Bilden av bonden som passivt offer för moderniseringen kontrasteras i artikeln med exempel på bönder som själva agerade för att göra vinst på marknaden och tog en aktiv roll i övergången från jordbruks- till industrisamhälle. Sammantaget visar undersökningen att utvecklingen på lokal nivå var mycket mer komplex till sin natur, än vad samhällsdebatten om den förespeglade.

The Swedish industrial support program of the 1970s revisited

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The economy-wide dynamic cost-benefit study of the Swedish industrial subsidy program 1976 through 1984 (Carlsson et al. Res Policy 10(43):336-354 1981; Carlsson J Ind Econ 32(1):9-14, 1983a, b) is revisited in light of later economic development. Since the Swedish Micro to Macro model (Eliasson Am Econ Rev 67(1):277-281 1977a, 2017a) was used for quantification, this article is both (1) a study on the calibration of high dimensional micro-based and nonlinear economic systems models, and (2) a post inquiry into the empirical credibility of the cost-benefit calculations performed. We find that the Micro-based Macro model represents the minimum of detailed resolution necessary for the dynamic cost benefit calculations of the micro interventions in the Swedish economy we study. Even though the increased model complexity meant significant parameter calibration difficulties, a thoroughly researched model specification with exactly defined policy interfaces (with the markets of the economy) should take priority over parameter estimation problems, and always be preferred to estimating the parameters of a wrongly specified model perfectly. The oil price shocks of the 1970s caused radical market disorder in the western economies, bankrupting some 35% of Swedish manufacturing and threatening the Swedish government with massive unemployment. We confirm the earlier results that the government choice of a radical employment rescue policy came at enormous social cost in the form of economic stagnation, and still did not prevent the unemployment of the rest of OECD Europe from hitting Sweden a decade later, and persisting well into the next millennium. According to an alternative simulated policy scenario on the model, had the subsidies been replaced with a general lowering of the payroll tax of the same magnitude and the consequent increase in unemployment taken immediately during 1976-1980, production structures would have been radically and rapidly reorganized, normal employment would have been rapidly restored, and neither the stagnation nor the radical increase in unemployment of the early 1990s would have occurred. In retrospect we see no reason to worry about the empirical credibility of this computed dynamic trade off between Keynesian demand and Schumpeterian supply effects (caused by resource reallocations and endogenous structural change due to the price change), as we did then. We conclude with certainty that this trade-off would not even have been discovered as a possibility had we used a traditional model that did not embody these micro-macro linkages.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Market adaptation, fragmentation and precariousness have been widely documented as problematic features of knowledge production processes in the university. This article follows an undercurrent of critical scholarship to explore how paths of resistance can be opened up by researching otherwise. The article builds on autoethnographic notes from a collective and non-funded research project aimed at gathering in situ narratives from people who experienced the 2013 Stockholm Riots. The research strategy behind this project, its organization as well as its results and reception, is here used as a point of departure to scrutinize the conditions of the possibility of critical knowledge production. The article draws attention to a critical place for doing research – in the cracks of the university – which arguably complicates the academic–public divide and keeps open discursive spaces during troubling moments of closure.
