Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This dissertation focuses on educational dimensions of public health as they appear in the texts of govemmental committees on Public Health (SOU) from the middle of 1930's to the middle of 1990's. By educational dimensions is meant intention to influence peoples attiudes and behaviours.The aim is to describe, analyse and compare discourses on health education as they appear in the texts. The method used is an application of poststructural text analysis based on eopragmatism and the work of Michel Foucault. Among the Foucauldian concepts used are discourse, govemmentality, power and subjectification. In the final chapter possibilities and imitations of Foucauldian analysis, in the light of a neopragmatic philosophy, are discussed. Three different discourses of health education are identified. One crucial difference concerns how relationships between individuals, state and society appear in the texts. A discourse of passive presence (in 1930's) deals with conditions and lifestyle of Swedes, but the subject constructed in the texts is essentially a passive receiver of health information antänd social eforms. A further discourse of passive absence tends not to problematize people's lifestyle and health habits at all. Towards the end of the 1970's a discourse of active presence appears in the texts. By the concept of presence is meant that people's lifestyle, health habits and living conditions once again become present in the texts. The concept active bears on the discoursive construction of a self-goveming and autonomous subject.

Categorisation and Interpretation. Indological and comparative studies from an international Indological meeting at the Department of Comparative Philology, Göteborg University (= Meijerbergs arkiv för svensk ordforskning 24)
- 1999

Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Several of the articles contained in the volume show how logical categorisation and linguistic scholarship as found in ancient India explain the specificity of Indian culture and its contribution to world culture in a way that has not always been suffiently heeded in the West. Some articles show how linguistic, philosophical and textual studies in the Indo-Iranian field can be brought into a wider comparative context and how the study of Indo-European comparative linguistics can be connected with a general understanding of linguistic categories. Conceptual categories of ancient India are studied by Asko Parpola, Klaus Oetke and Johannes Bronkhorst. Bertil Tikkanen writes about the category of subject in Indian and Western linguistics. Folke Josephson and Gerd Carling discuss some case categories of Sanskrit and other Indo-European languages. W.L. Smith treats of variants of a literary tex. Kenneth Zysk writes about the role of mythology in the process of brahmanization of Indian medicine. Judith Josephson is concerned with the technique of interpretation of the Pahlavi translators. Claes Wennerberg studies a Finnish word of possible Indian origin. The volume is a tribute to Gösta Liebert, professor emeritus of Comparative Linguistics and Sanskrit at Göteborg University who unfortunately passed away at the moment when the book was about to go to the press.
