Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When looking back at sociology the shift from traditional to modern societies has been a major concern of studies, ending up with many dualistic theories of social forms and sociality. Social theories of today, are though formulating a supposedly second societal shift and a third form of sociality. With this experience of a new shift, it is fair to argue that dualistic theories need to be challenged or developed if we are not to have only two alternative social forms to shift between. As early as 1922 the German phenomenologist and sociologist Herman Schmalenbach published a critique and development of Ferdinand Tönnies’ dualistic distinction between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. Schmalenbach introduces a third social category which he calls Bund (Communion) and is based on a sociality of emotions and free choice. With a triadic rather than a dualistic theory of possible ways to relate to others one of the main implications of Schmalenbach’s critique is that the relation between the forms of sociality can not be understood as being each other’s antitheses. In Schmalenbach’s idea of the Communion, friendship and romantic love are the ideal typical social forms. In this respect his idea shows similarities to the late modern theories of sociality. In an attempt to better understand contemporary sociality I will provide a reading of Tönnies focusing on the sociality in his theory, which I call a relational reading of him. This reading is conducted by comparing Tönnies to some other dualistic theories of sociality to explicate how similar dualities are formulated in various researchers’ vocabularies. Following this I present a reading of Schmalenbach’s critique of Tönnies’ theory. At the end of the paper I suggest some implications of Schmalenbach’s critique in relation to late modern theories of contemporary sociality and contemporary relations, as well as to ideas of stage theories of society.

Innerlighetens tid : En sociologisk undersökning av intimitet och senmodernitet
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Due to a recent increase in usage of the concept of intimacy within social scientific research, the overarching aim of this work is to investigate its meaning and significance in contemporary social life. The first part of the thesis reviews research on intimacy. Intimacy is perceived as being vaguely defined as a concept, leading to insufficient discussions concerning the significance of intimacy both as a social concept and as a social phenomenon in contemporary western society. In order to become more clearly defined as a social concept to use in future research, intimacy needs to be investigated as a social phenomenon. The second part explores and analyses intimacy as a social phenomenon by way of three partly phenomenological and partly theoretical analyses: the phenomenology of intimacy, the arithmetic of intimacy and the dark sides of intimacy. The three analyses result in a definition of intimacy understood as a kind of sociality, or mode of social being, characterized by an oceanic experience, mutual and complete directedness between the ones being in relation, an experience of mental as well as physical closeness, and an experience of time as “durée”. The third part discusses the proposed definition of intimacy as sociality in relation to contemporary social theory. In relation to an understanding of contemporary western society as late modern or radicalized modern, intimacy as sociality is discussed as a radicalization of a rational sociality, characteristic for modern society. The discussion takes the form of a dialectic critique of modern dualistic theories, proposing a triadic (dialectic) alternative for understanding basic forms of sociality and social relations. The vague notion of intimacy as a concept suited to characterize social life in contemporary western society is supported by this proposition.

Intimacy as a threat to the self
- 2008
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper I will discuss what could be understood as a dark side of intimacy. The theoretical understandings of intimacy often refer to experiences that are positive for the persons experiencing it. In social theories of intimacy, as found in Bauman (2003), Giddens (1992) and Beck & Beck-Gernsheim (1990), intimacy is understood as a way of relating to others including a mutual disclosure of oneself. In such a disclosing situation the persons involved experience themselves as being equal and honest, of giving and receiving, and as being close. While being intimate, the persons become more than merely themselves, in a sense they become one, expanding their singular selves into a joint union of we-ness. Intimacy understood as “including others in ones sense of self” (Aron, 2003) intimacy implies a (positive) experience of letting someone else be a part of ones sense of self. But what happens to the sense of self, when including someone else, and simultaneously letting the other include me in their sense of self? This is the question discussed in this paper. A possibly dark side of intimacy can be understood as a sense (or a fear) of loosing oneself when being “swallowed” by someone or something bigger than oneself, as Solheim (2001) suggest in her text “intimacy and its discontents”. The crucial border between self and other, and the negative sense of we-ness will be discussed, as well as questions of reluctance of being more than oneself (I am I). In this discussion it will be impossible not to touch upon the question of to what extent it is even possible to include others in our selves, and if there is a possible distinction between the self and the sense of self.
