- This paper reviews a social entrepreneurial initiative to set up a solarpoweredincubator in Uganda,initiated by a group of entrepreneurship students, based in Sweden. Using an ActorNetworkTheoryinformedapproach, it surveys how the original aims of the project shifted as it moved fromSweden to Uganda, securing new allies and resources. The paper thus concerns itself with spatialaspects of social entrepreneurial projects, notably how space matters when construing the means bywhich entrepreneurship is to be fostered. It also raises the issue of whether the incubatorasweknowitis a suitable model for the generation of economic activity in lowincomecountries.

The translation of an incubator: the case of the Lighthouse in Bubulo, Uganda

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reviews a social entrepreneurial initiative to set up a solar-powered incubator in Bubulo, Uganda, initiated by a group of Sweden-based entrepreneurship students. Using an Actor-Network Theory-informed approach, it addresses the question of how the original aims of the initiative shifted as it moved from Sweden to Uganda, securing new allies and resources. In the tracing of this movement from northern Europe to central Africa, concepts from Actor-Network Theory, such as ‘translation’ and ‘drift’, are drawn upon. Thus, the text deals with spatial aspects of social entrepreneurial projects, heeding the call from Steyaert and Dey, who list ‘spatializing’ as one of ‘nine verbs that can keep the social entrepreneurship research agenda “dangerous”’. The text thus engages in the debate on the merits of business incubation in low-income countries–a topic currently high on the international development policy agenda. The study, it is argued, prompts scholars and policy-makers to shift perspectives when evaluating what this type of initiatives achieve. Rather than ‘creating’ entrepreneurship, projects like the Lighthouse are better seen as efforts to ‘mobilize’ existing activities. Moreover, the article also raises the issue of whether the classic incubator-as-we-know-it is a suitable model for the generation of economic activity in low-income countries.

Cultures of consumption within GPS speedsurfing
- 2014
-
Ingår i: The 6th Biannual Surveillance and Society Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The phenomenon dubbed “the quantified self movement” is gathering pace and increasingly making headlines in popular media. There is now a wide variety of communities that measure different aspects of their bodies and lives, sharing the results online, turning it into “big data”. Outside observers have pointed to the apparent narcissism of such practices – and indeed, one can imagine a number of theoretical prisms through which to analyse this phenomenon.This paper, however, focuses on how the community members themselves experience such self-measurement. Based on a participant observer, micro-ethnographic study of windsurfers that use GPS devices to monitor and share the details of their windsurfing sessions, it questions the extent to which concepts like narcissism or alienation are useful for describing the practices in question.The paper suggests that the prime effect of the introduction of GPS tracking is the establishment of an objective measure of skills and aptitude. This, in turn, prompts a heightened desire for state-of-the-art equipment. In other words, the dispersion of self-measurement technology has democratised competitive speedsurfing, but at the same time sharpened the element of competitive consumption within the sport. Beyond the description of the community in question, the paper also reflects upon whether these findings can be applied to the self-quantification movement and its place within the contemporary economy.

From jamming the motor to hacking the computer: The case of Adbusters
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Resistance Studies Magazine. - 1654-7063. ; 1:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the past few years, concepts such as “hacking”, “open source”, “protocols” and “peer-to-peer” have begun to circulate in settings that bear little relation to actual computers. Using Adbusters as an example, this article will explore how social activists are developing strategies of resistance on the basis of a nascent computer-inspired worldview.
