Rasbiologiskt språkbruk i statens rättsprocess mot sameby : DN Debatt 2015-06-11
- 2015

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Statens hantering av forskningsresultat i rättsprocessen med Girjas sameby utgör ett hot mot Sverige som rättsstat och kunskapsnation. Åratal av svensk och internationell forskning underkänns och man använder ett språkbruk som skulle kunna vara hämtat från rasbiologins tid. Nu måste staten ta sitt ansvar och börja agera som en demokratisk rättsstat, skriver 59 forskare.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Work is always in progress, somewhere, in some form. In a historical perspective the view of work has changed, as have the contexts where work takes place. Still there are strongly rooted images of what work is – in the patterns of thought and material conditions.This book embarks from the idea that work is something both immaterial and material. It discusses work as a conception and cultural norm, but also as something very tangible and concrete.Researchers from an array of scientific fields have gathered together around these questions. The idea has been to twist and turn the conceptions of what work is and – embarking from one’s own discipline – to contribute new perspectives to this topic.

- Background: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanSurvivors of childhood cancer are a growing population in society. These young people have a high risk of developing chronic health problems with a potential strong impact on their lives. How a childhood cancer experience affects survivors in adolescence has been studied to a limited extent; an increased understanding of this young group is needed to improve follow-up care. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanObjective: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanThe aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how childhood cancer affects the lives of survivors by exploring adolescents and young adults views of what it is like living with this experience. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanMethods: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanFifty-nine 11- to 22-year-olds were interviewed a median of 5 years after a cancer diagnosis (response rate, 66%). Data were collected through telephone interviews and were analyzed using qualitative content analysis techniques. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanResults: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanThree groups of informants were identified according to their descriptions of the influence of cancer treatment on their daily life: feeling like anyone else (informants who described that the cancer experience had almost no influence on current life) (49%), feeling almost like others (those who described some influence) (44%), and feeling different (those describing a great influence on current life) (7%). less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanConclusions: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanMost of the adolescents and young adults appear to get along well, although many informants described that life was affected to some extent by having had cancer. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanImplications for Practice: less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanFollow-up care is needed that can identify those young survivors of childhood cancer having trouble with daily life and offer them support to strengthen their resources in managing difficulties in relation to having had cancer.

Bekänna färg : Modernitet, maskulinitet, professionalitet
- 2004

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Paint and painting are obvious components of everyday life for those of us who live in contemporary Sweden. In terms of both matter and shade, paint has come to symbolise taste and status as well as having created distinction, defined sex/gender and social position – with the past as a constant sounding board. Paint and painting also have professional and occupational aspects. There are people – usually males – who train to become and earn their living as painters. At the same time, there are many others who are active in the professional production of paint and painting. Furthermore, there is a large amateur sector where “everyone” can paint. Taken together, these form a kind of social field characterised by both conflict and consensus: a field where competence and legitimacy, aesthetics and quality and the right to instruct and assess are questioned. These are the conditions that form the subject of this dissertation. In a wider sense the aim is to illustrate colour, paint and painting as constantly interpreted and reinterpreted material, cultural and social phenomena, with the power to shape and alter people’s circumstances and relationships. For this purpose I have come to use a variety of sources from the 20th century, such as narratives, photographs, advertisements, historical accounts and artefacts. In a more restricted sense, and against this background, the aim is to analyse the house painters’ work on a large-scale renovation project, through comprehensive fieldwork. Being modern is not so much about managing the age in which we live and the future, as managing the past. Although the social field of painting generates a series of contradictory norms and ideals, the historical heritage represents a mutual frame of reference, irrespective of whether the tendency is to integrate, separate or reconstruct the past – different systems or knowledge with normative claims, discourses. In these processes the paint, in terms of both matter and shade, is regarded as a floating signifier, something that people struggle to define, over a period of time. In order to study how this process works, I have made use of three analytical concepts: modernity, masculinity and professionalism. These concepts both act through and are created by what I have chosen to call material, bodily and aesthetic practices. With the help of a relational power-perspective, I have built the main chapters, focused on the renovation project, around a number of such phenomena: rhythm and movement, the material, the performative and the aesthetic, the body, sex/gender, class and pro-fessionalism, as well as the social implications of space and place. It is here that the actors in the field come into contact with each other: modern house painters, decorative painters, antiquarians, architects, paint producers, and others. It is here that insistence on the preferential right of interpretation is at risk and where an image of “the other” is conjured up.The dissertation is concluded by the heading, In the Draught of Discourse, where the painting trade and the work itself is described as transparent and available to “everybody”. Through discourse analysis and fieldwork, it has been possible to illustrate how conditions and possibilities are not only created in the painting field itself, but also in many other sectors of society. To show your colours is to reveal sex/gender, class and nationality, to define continuity and change, the traditional and the modern, to separate amateurs and professionals, the preparative groundwork and the final result. And it is here, at the ambiguous interface that the finished surface represents, that the dissertation is concluded.

Koppardalen : Om historiens plats i omvandlingen av ett industriområde
- 2005
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The empirical focus of this study is the contemporary transition of the industrial area Koppardalen, situated in Avesta in the middle of Sweden. Koppardalen (literary translated “The Copper Valley”) got its name in 1987 when the Avesta municipality bought the area from an iron and steel company. For a century the Koppardalen area, or Norra verken which was its name before 1987, housed production of iron and steel and at its peak employed more than 2000 men. In the beginning of the 1980s, iron and steel production had moved out and left the area almost abandoned. When the Avesta municipality became the new owner of Koppardalen it was part of a strategy to transform the area to make it more attractive to light industry and by doing so provide Avesta with new employment opportunities. These plans failed and what happened instead is the object of my analysis. The overall purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyse the place of history in the transition process of the Koppardalen industrial area between 1987 and 2003. More specifically, the aim is to answer the two questions: What does the place of history look like? What does the place of history mean? My basic theoretical inspiration comes from the French philosopher and critical hermeneuticer Paul Ricoeur and his reasoning about the logic of explanation and understanding. As an operative theoretical tool I use four fundamental historical tropes in order to analyse the place of history in the transition process. I have chosen three physical and clearly visible changes in Koppardalen that each constitute one chapter in the study. The first change concerns the old blast furnace, which has been renovated and used for art exhibitions, museum installations and other cultural purposes. The second change concerns two former rolling mills, which have been partly torn down and partly rebuilt into a sports arena and office spaces. The third change concerns a new built bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists that connects the Koppardalen area with Avesta city centre. These two parts had earlier been separated from each other, physically as well as mentally. By analysing these three changes I conclude that the most dominant historical trope to be found in Koppardalen is the story about “the foreign country”. The past becomes a different and thrilling contrast that could be used in the effort to make the former industrial area a beautiful, interesting and attractive place. Beside the trope of the foreign country, the story of similarity through history is also present in Koppardalen. Here, the past is compared with today’s situation and periods of change in the past are put into parallel with contemporary challenges of the post-industrial society. Both these tropes, the one of history as a foreign country and the one of history as a parallel of today, paradoxically strengthen the transition process and the power of those actors who work to transform the Koppardalen area. One surprising element is the lack of the historical trope of a lost golden age. The proud and prosperous past in the sense of a lost golden age is not to be found in Koppardalen, or at least not in the rhetoric of the politicians and white-collar workers who are the driving forces in the process. In sum, the study shows how the place of history in a contemporary transition process contains a great variety of simultaneously occurring, non-competing historical tropes.
