  • Från Jernverk till Hjärnverk : Ungdomstidens omvandling i Ronneby under tre generationer
  • 2000
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The place is Ronneby, a smallish town in southern Sweden. My subjects are working class and lower middle class men in Ronneby, men who — since the beginning of the century — have encountered changing conditions for reaching adulthood. In this dissertation, I will analyse these changing and increasingly difficult conditions and try to explain how the tradition of starting to work early in life, and thus becoming adult when still very young, has been replaced with a need to postpone adulthood further and further. Old industrial companies like Kockums and L.M. Ericsson used to provide jobs which could be passed on from father to son. Nowadays, they have been superseded by advanced undertakings in Information Technology and by a local university, specialized in teaching software development. The whole situation in Ronneby bears the imprint of the same problems which towards the end of the century have spread through most of the Western world. People who do not understand the new logic of change and cannot adapt to it personally, will be left behind. Ronneby can be seen as a symbol of the disappearance of a Swedish industrial tradition and the coming of a new industrial order, which has little use for a labour force with only lower education. The tools of interpretation are mainly from Margaret Mead and David Riesman. In their respective ways both have described the transformation of society in terms of the relation between character and social structure. Mead concentrates on changing patterns of culture, and she maintains that there was a period in history when parents could safely assume that their children´s lives would become copies of their own lives, whereas we now live in a period when neither parents nor various expert systems in society knows what to expect from the coming generation. Riesman concentrates on the consequences of cultural transformation, and he maintains that there is a correlation between types of society and types of character. The Tradition-directed character – with inherited power relations – later became Inner-directed – with life goals transplanted by parents in their offspring at an early age – and finally Other-directed – a character type which seeks guidance from peers and mass media. To a large extent this dissertation deals with the decline of the family and primary relations, but at the same time with people´s capability of always creating new forms of social bonds and things in common.

  • Själv men inte ensam : om självhjälpsgrupper i Sverige
  • 2002
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • In this thesis, self-help groups are defined as small, autonomous groups of people that meet regularly to cope with a shared problem through mutual aid. There is reason to believe that self-help group activity is increasing in Sweden. Since no general attempts to map self-help group activity have been made in Sweden, one aim of this study was to map such activities in ten strategically selected geographical areas. A second aim was to analyze the internal and external circumstances of these groups in order to improve our knowledge about Swedish self-help groups in general.The thesis builds on four empirical studies. The first study aimed to map self-help group activity in the ten selected regions, using a questionnaire sent to vicars in the Church of Sweden, heads of welfare offices, head counselors in the health service and representatives of voluntary organizations (n=599). The second study sought a broader understanding of the internal and external circumstances of self-help groups. Eight groups, strategically selected from the outcome of the first study, were group interviewed. The aim of the third study was to examine whether the results of the group interviews were valid for all the groups found in the initial mapping. A questionnaire (27 items) was sent to key persons (n=73) in the groups. The fourth and final study had a partially deductive approach. One aim was to improve our understanding of the roles played by different kinds of knowledge in the groups. A second aim was to test whether the participants in the groups were “peers” or whether there were leaders in the groups in terms of creating, upholding and representing different kinds of knowledge. Four groups, comprising 18 migraine sufferers, were examined by means of a personal questionnaire, a network test and group interviews.The results of the studies showed that 0.5 percent of the population in the selected regions belonged to a self-help type of group at the time for the study. The most common problems among the 228 groups found were related to alcohol (44), illness and physical disorder (41), grief (22) and parenthood (21). Group members emphasized the importance of mutual understanding in their groups, and in the thesis the groups are understood on the theoretical basis of sociology of knowledge. The thesis argues that a specific kind of knowledge - experiential knowledge - is developed in self-help groups. This kind of knowledge is based on mutual understanding and contributes to a deeper understanding. Some differences between experiential knowledge and professional knowledge are highlighted. Besides mutual understanding, the participants valued the spirit of community and the information given in the groups. Finally, the results indicate that groups that had a formal leader (representing professional knowledge) tended to value information more, while groups where the participants were peers (relying on experiential knowledge) primarily valued mutual understanding.In this thesis, self-help groups are seen as belonging to the third sector, and therefore as related to voluntary organizations. However, it is argued that self-help groups may be a contemporary phenomenon with the participants often being consumers rather than members. Despite the group constellation, self-help groups may sometimes have the value of an individual project.
