Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article focuses on the negotiated distinction between commercial and non-commercial spheres of life through the phenomenon of lifestyle entrepreneurship. Lifestyle entrepreneurship is a concept used for a form of self-employment, based on the business owner´s own hobby or lifestyle. The article is based on a study of lifestyle enterprising in the tourism and hospitality industries in southern Sweden. The study comprises ethnographic interviews, field observations, and go-alongs with owners of small businesses that can be described as commercial homes, such as bed & breakfast and farm stay. The article uses the context of lifestyle entrepreneurs to theorize and discuss the dynamics of blurring and/or marking the distinction between personal and commercial relations. The theoretical point of departure is the notion of relational work in combination with the notion of sociological ambivalence. By combining these two strands of literature it is argued that the business owners´ narrative practices sustain ambiguity and blurred boundaries, rather than draw lines, between commercial and non-commercial spheres. It is also argued that lifestyle-oriented work identity constructs a friendship-oriented form of service encounter, reinforced by a market where emotional closeness emerges as an experience product.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article is an attempt at a fairly detailed analysis of TV series "A Forty-Year-Old " in its first edition from the 1970s. The text proposes an interpretation of the film from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu's theory, and in particular reconstructs the social space of the film's protagonists, which consists of, in particular, the intelligentsia elite, the nomenklatura, lower intelligentsia and medium technical personnel. In the picture outlined by the authors of the film, the role of the intelligentsia, in particular its multi-generation, old elite, is dominant. This vision does not fully agree with the real place of the intelligentsia in Poland of the Gierek era. For this reason the film is interpreted by the authors of the article as a voice of the scriptwriters in favor of the appreciation of the intelligentsia, both in respect of the lower technical staff and the part of the nomenclature less rich in cultural capital. The interpretative framework proposed in the text seems useful for the analysis of other works of art in relation to the reconstruction of social relations of the times when they were created.
