- Purpose: Digitally intermediated peer-to-peer exchanges have accelerated in occurrence, and as a consequence, they have introduced an increased pluralism of connotations. Accordingly, this paper aims to assess user perceptions of the interplay between the sharing, access, platform, and community-based economies.Design/methodology/approach: The sharing, access, platform, and community-based economies have been systematically tracked in the social media landscape using Social Media Analytics (SMA). In doing so, a total material of 62,855 publicly posted user-generated content concerning the four respective economies were collected and analyzed.Findings: Even though the sharing economy has been conceptually argued to be interlinked with the access, platform, and community-based economies, the empirical results of the study do not validate this interlinkage. Instead, the results regarding user perceptions in social media show that the sharing, access, platform, and community-based economies manifest as clearly separated.Originality/value: This paper contributes to existing literature by offering an empirical validation, as well as an in-depth understanding, of the sharing economy's interlinkage to other economies, along with the extent to which the overlaps between these economies manifest in social media.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dystra prognoser från 2010-talets sista nationella SOM-undersökning. Fler än någonsin ansåg att Sverige var på väg åt fel håll, oron tilltog och brottslighet klättrade på dagordningen. Samtidigt duggade rapporter om oåterkalleliga hot mot klimatet tätt. Hur påverkas vårt vardagsliv, vår hälsa och vår politik av dessa mörka moln? Regntunga skyar innehåller trettio kapitel forskaranalyser, sprungna ur resultaten från 2019 års nationella SOM-undersökning. Analyserna visar hur opinion och vanor och utvecklats och förändrats på en uppsjö av olika områden, samt inte minst vad vi som samhälle tog med oss in i det än så länge turbulenta 2020-talet.

Exploring Fashion as Communication : The search for a new fashion history against the grain
- 2020

Ingår i: Popular Communication. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1540-5702 .- 1540-5710. ; 18:4, s. 249-258

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This introductory essay calls for a new fashion media history informed by truly interdisciplinary scholarship, nuanced in both fashion and media studies. It reflects upon the ways in which the study of fashion as communication and fashion journalism have been addressed, arguing that fashion studies has laid out a western backbone of this history that invites and deserves to be confirmed and contested. It encourages future authors to find those fashion media discourses, voices, and practices that brought attention to fashion and dress moving past the so-called ‘fashion bibles’ to unravel discourses reaching popular audiences, underrepresented minorities, unlisted geographies, and subcultures.

Digital Distance Education – A Longitudinal Exploration of Video Technology
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The context of this thesis is digital distance education. Distance education has developed from correspondence courses, based on letters sent by mail between student and teacher, to digital distance education with interactive video classes from anywhere, as long as a computer/tablet/smartphone and an Internet connection are available. The development of technology, particularly with the introduction of the Internet, has completely changed the possibilities for teaching, learning, interaction, and communication at a distance. Many technologies can be used in distance education, but this thesis aims to: Better understand the possibilities and limitations of video in digital distance higher education. The research has three elements of analysis: 1) video technology, 2) distance courses, and 3) distance teachers. Each allows a focus on how distance courses with video are designed and on teachers’ perspectives on the use of video in distance education. The first focus on course design is examined through two research questions. RQ1 asks, How is digital video used in distance higher education? When teachers design distance courses with digital video; a) which categories of video are used or not used? b) how much are these categories used? c) why are they used or not used? And d) how are they used? Complementing RQ1, RQ2 asks, How do course designers respond to the possibilities and limitations of video for distance higher education? Addressing the second focus of the thesis on teacher perspectives, RQ3 asks, What are the teacher’s attitudes and perceptions about the use of digital video in distance higher education? With a comprehensive literature review as a foundation, the results of this thesis include a classification system with two main categories; recorded and live video that is developed and used to orient an empirical investigation. The data for this investigation was collected through a national web-based questionnaire. Then, based on the survey, a specific higher education institution was selected for an interview study with teachers using video conferencing in distance courses in Teacher education. Interaction and communication are central concepts in this thesis, and the analytical lens combines the socio-cultural perspective and the theory of affordances. The results indicate that across types, video is mostly used as a supplement to other resources. Further, a correspondence is found concerning, on the one hand, teachers’ experience of distance education and participation in in-service training, and on the other hand, their use of video in teaching. In general, the most reported reasons why teachers do not use video are that it does not bring anything and takes too much time. Many of the constraints that teachers perceive are related to time; e.g. competition between an ambition to teach according to a student-centred approach but also a strong feeling of responsibility of delivering content to students. The technology of video has the affordances of mediating a teaching and learning environment similar to the one in the classroom, but conditions such as large groups or many students and the difficulty of perceiving non-verbal signals through video, affect the communication situation negatively and reduce possibilities of interaction. As a systematic study investigating the mainstream use of technology and media, this thesis contrasts with many other studies, which are often relatively small and local in nature, conducted by enthusiastic teachers investigating the use of one specific technology. The results show how the mainstream use of technologies such as video change conditions for distance teaching and influence how we think and interact with others and our environment.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research on selfies has primarily focused on selfies as media products rather than as an activity. In this paper, we examine selfies as a situated practice, connecting the social media phenomenon to the local spaces where it is performed. Based on ethnographic studies of selfie photography, we present and discuss three aspects of selfies in the wild. First, we consider selfies as part of a larger photographic context and show how they are often taken in series with other genres of images. Second, we expand upon the notion of selfies as conversation and show how selfie photographers exchange messages with remote friends and followers while attending to the local environment. Third, we discuss socializing around selfies, examining how copresent friends socialize around the production of selfies. These findings show the importance of considering selfies beyond the online context, and highlight the many ways that selfies are interweaved with our everyday activities.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose - In this paper, we investigate the business disruption effects of mobile technologies for the videogame industry in Turkey. Previous research shows that before mobile gaming became prevalent globally, Turkish videogame industry was extremely small and lacked any success stories for either console or PC platforms.Design/methodology/approach - To capture the nuances of this disruptive transition, we performed structured interviews with industry experts and analyzed prominent discussion forums. We especially focused on answering the following questions: (1) how prepared were Turkish videogame development companies in handling the mobile disruptive change; (2) what kind of transformations they experienced in their business plans and practices; (3) how the disruption affected the way they viewed their customer base; and (4) what future disruptions they expect in their industry.Findings - Analysis of interview and discussion data revealed some recurring themes that we discussed in detail: (1) ability to handle disruptive change (e.g., technical resources and fast-changing industry trends); (2) business transformations (e.g., agile vs. slow development, marketing-oriented business practices, and market burn-outs); (3) re-definition of the customer base (e.g., generalizations, niche categories, piracy, and clone games); (4) future disruptions (e.g., AR/VR and the maturity of mobile gamers); and (5) other general themes (e.g, stigma about gaming and localization of global titles vs. local production of original IPs).Social/Economic/Sectoral value - In order to create a stronger local industry, state bodies and non-governmental organizations can facilitate positive outcomes from these disruption periods by addressing and creating solutions for the issues revealed in this work. Originality – This paper offers unique insights to understand the videogame industry in Turkey.

Hur står sig svenska mediers förtroendekapital?

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Det här kapitlet fokuserar på den svenska befolkningens förtroende för nyhets bärande medier. Förtroendets förändring över tid analyseras, liksom vilken betydelse graden av berördhet, upplevt värde av medier samt partisympati har för människors förtroendebedömning. Resultaten pekar mot fortsatt stabila förtroendenivåer. Hur ofta ett medium används spelar roll för i vilken utsträckning individen hyser stort eller litet förtroende för detsamma. Allra viktigast är dock huruvida medierna upplevs som värdefulla för samhället eller inte. För samtliga jämförda medier gäller att ju större samhällsvärde mediet har, desto större är dess förtroendekapital. Samhällsvärde som faktor tycks också stärka den partipolitiska spridningen i medieförtroendet, åtminstone för Sveriges Radio och Sveriges Television. Jämfört med övriga medier förefaller public servicemedierna uppfattas som en central samhällsinstitution, med stark förankring i det svenska samhället.

(Parti-)politiserat institutionsförtroende
- 2020
-
Ingår i: 978-91-89673-47-2. - Göteborg : Göteborgs universitet. - 0284-4788. - 9789189673472 ; , s. 41-56

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vi vet från tidigare forskning att svenska folkets förtroende för medier gradvis har politiserats under 2010-talet. Förtroendet för medier – i synnerhet för de offentligt finansierade public service-medierna Sveriges Radio och Sveriges Television – uppvisar en allt tydligare samvariation med vänster-högerideologi och partisympatier. Vi frågar oss om denna utveckling är en del av ett större mönster av politiserat förtroende även för andra samhällsinstitutioner. I kapitlet genomför vi för första gången en samlad analys av graden av politisering i svenska folkets institutionsförtroende under perio-den 1986–2019. Kartläggningen visar att det finns en mycket tydlig politisering för den absoluta huvuddelen av de tjugotalet undersökta samhällsinstitutionerna under främst den senaste tioårsperioden. Även de mest grundläggande samhällsinstitutio-nerna såsom domstolar, polis, skola och sjukvård har blivit mer politiserade. Den ökade politiseringen av förtroende syns även för den institution som samlar folkets främsta företrädare: Riksdagen. Den är en förändring som det kan finnas anledning att känna oro för, inte minst då det riskerar att få effekter för demokratins välmående.
