Från Kingston till Göinge : autencitet, identitet och representationer av det förflutna i svensk reggaekultur
- 2022

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis explores the role of history in popular culture with a particular focus on the Swedish reggae scene. It examines how cultural meaning applied to music bears strong connections to historical representations, and how individuals understand, communicate, and reproduce selective notions of the past in relationship to popular music. History is viewed as an essential cultural component in this thesis, a component equipped with the ability to articulate political resistance, and express a sense of identity and belonging. The overall purpose is to examine how history is constructed, represented and used in the Swedish reggae scene, and how notions of origin and authenticity are expressed. The empirical chapters examine how different representations of the past in Swedish reggae relates to notions of origin, place and authenticity. These representations are constructed through social interactions, but also through interaction with texts, objects, and cultural practices.As the thesis shows, different representations of pasts and notions of origins exists in Swedish reggae, connecting to various geographical, cultural, and historical contexts. The hybridization of reggae becomes an important factor that contributes to making Swedish reggae something special and unique. In the Swedish reggae scene, which is predominatly white, the hybridization can be understood as an attempt to free oneself from aspects of reggae associated with Black experiences of white oppression. The use of local, regional, and national cultural expressions and representations of the past creates a distance to the Jamaican reggae traditions, and the historical narratives of slavery, colonialism and racial discrimination that reinforces the Black identification in Jamaican reggae. Instead, by relating to Swedish historical milieus, traditions and events, a closer and more relatable understanding of reggae is created. However, the thesis also shows that not all actors who consume and produce reggae in Sweden identify with the Swedish hybrid version. In such cases, its typical Swedishness is seen as an undesirable departure from the history and traditions of Jamaican reggae. Jamaican reggae is then perceived as a cultural heritage that should be preserved and respected in its original form - not in a copied or remodelled version.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this chapter is to describe some fundamental developments within Swedish educational policy focusing especially on the idea of educational individualization as a way of placing the child at the center of the educational activity and thereby as a vital agent in the construction of a more equal and just society. We argue that these historical trends, coupled with the neo-liberal influences within contemporary educational policies, have created a strong discourse of childhood within Swedish society, centered on the concept of ‘the competent child’. However, contemporary neo-liberal transformations of the idea of educational individualization have far-reaching consequences in terms of what competencies children are to develop as well as for the overall relationship between the state and the individual in Sweden.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Allyson Larkin raises important questions concerning the promotion and consequences of ideals of global citizenship in the context of Canadian higher education. More specifically, she aims to problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about the discourses of global citizenship that correspond to the type of graduate Canadian universities are seeking to produce. In this comment, we aim to, very briefly, address similar questions in relation to the context of Sweden. Using the example of volunteer work, we will give a short historical background to Sweden’s international commitments in relation to developing countries as well as a brief sketch on how such commitments are organized within contemporary Swedish society. Finally, we will also comment on possible consequences for contemporary constructions of discourses of global citizenship and internationalization in relation to the field of Swedish higher education.

Book chapter (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- This text is analysis of the use of violence in children's literature, specifically in the works of Penelope Delta (1874-1941), a Greek author. The analysis is concentrating of how violence is gendered and how nation and the experience of nation is gendered. It challanges the notion that nation and nationalism is a masculine discourse since Delta's use of violence is directed to both boys and girls.

Eidola : Gender and Nation in the Writings of Penelope Delta (1874-1941)
- 2008
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Penelope Delta was a writer of books for children in the beginning of the twentieth century in Greece. Delta was active when the national project was at its peak. Delta's own participation in the national project consisted of writing for children in a vernacular language and belonging to a group of intellectuals actively promoting modernization in other aspects than only political and technological. The main aim of the dissertation is to chart and analyze the relationship between gender and nation in Penelope Delta's work and life. Under the hypothesis that class, gender, race and ethnicity are discourses that, on a personal level, melt into each other, the discourses of ethnicity and gender are nevertheless in the centre of the study. When these discourses meet or cross each other, they sometimes harmonize but can also be a source of contradictions. It is these kinds of connections that are discussed in the dissertation. The approach is to discuss how these combinations and contradictions occur and how they are confronted on a personal level in the work of one particular person: Delta, who in herself is a product of, and produces networks of discourses. The focus is how she, in her personal life as well as in her books, ethically deals with the subject and subjectivity. It is my theoretical assumption that discourses such as gender, class, race and ethnicity work parallel to each other in a kind of discursive grid, where they are in harmony with or in contradiction to each other. The theoretical and methodological foundation are built upon the perception of the connection between identity and subjectivity. The discussion and analysis of the terms and their interrelation is based on elements of the theoretical and methodological frameworks provided by for instance Derrida and Foucault, primarily their arguments on ethics. The aim is thus to discuss how Delta is trying to construct and invoke and mediate ethical meaning to the national project of Greece. Formulating the subject's personal and intimate relationship to the nation, Delta's intention and participation in the national project is the argumentation of an individualistic position that, in a dynamic relationship with the nation, functions as operative ethical practices rather than fixed norms,which is otherwise often the case in political national discourse.
