- Studies of the professions clearly illustrate the intricate interplay between general conceptions of society and history, sociological theory, definitions of social categories, empirical research and political values – or, more briefly, between theory, ’facts’ and politics. In this article the interplay is illustrated by the two dominant theory-constructions on professions in sociology. The first is the functionalist or ’naive’ tradition, the second the neoweberian or ’cynical’ alternative. It is argued that both traditions are permeated by several shortcomings. In particular, they have universalistic claims, but are in fact outcomes of professionals’ own self-images during specific and limited social and historical circumstances. Sociologies of professions turn out to be ideologies of professionals. In a concluding section the preconditions for a more realistic approach to the professions are outlined.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article I summarize some main points from a larger study which I am doing on theoretical conceptualization of the formal/equal patriarchy of today Although I see myself as a socialist feminist, applying historical materialist method to feminist questions, I am critical of contemporary socialist feminist theory for not taking the issues raised by radical feminists seriously enough; for clinging too closely to the specific Marxian prob lematique of political economy and class, and for not stating the basic problem as one of power transactions in the relationship between women and men as socio-sexual beings My position is that in order to develop a feminist theory of patriarchy, we must transcend the 'field of knowledge' of economy, class and work much more decisively than the socialist feminist theory of today does We must establish a specific theoretical problematique ( field of knowledge), that of 'political sexuality', socio-sexual relationship, and love In doing this we can very well use historical materialism as guiding threads' Characterizing patnarchy as a political sex/gender system, the core of my theory is constructed in terms of a specific sex/gender exploitation, which is essentially non-economic but social and human-matenal.

After the Working-Class Movement? : An Essay on What's 'New' and What's 'Social' in the New Social Movements
- 1988

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the early 1980s many social theorists claimed that the ‘New Social Movements’ (NSMs) were the authentic social movements of our time. This claim is discussed in relation to two traditions in the analysis of social movements. The ‘American’ tradition focuses on the single-issue movement of a protest and mobilizing character. The ‘European’ tradition focuses on the relation between major societal changes and processes of class formation, the labour movement being the classic case.In the article the women’s movement is discussed as a major cultural revolutionary movement; the different campaigns dealing with the new urban forms of socialized reproduction» housing, planning, etc., as movements for the defence of the 'real consumption’; the green and environmentalist movements taking up the conflicting relation nature-society.Is the relation between the NSMs and the new and growing social strata of students and employees within the welfare state, which make up their audience and activist core, to be understood as a parallel to the part played by the ‘old’ social movements in the making of the working class, the farmer class, etc? It is argued that there is no ‘necessary’ relationship between the socictal changes and the NSMs, as there was between industrialization and the labour movement.The societal relations and changes around which the NSMs organize themselves - gender contradictions, socialization of reproduction, contradictions in the forms of modern urban living, nature society - do not single out a new social force as their ‘natural’ counterpart. They are both more encompassing in their reach and more non-partisan in character. The most likely centre for a possible coalescence of a multitude of NSMs into a major social movement, if not in the class formative sense, is the societally basic relationship, nature-society.The themes and issues raised by the NSMs can in the political process become articulated with existing political and social forces. The capacity of these forces and institutions to absorb the issues raised by the NSMs determine the possibility for the NSMs to emerge as a new major social force.

- When goals for assistance to a group are defined from 'the outside', what happens to the group members' own wishes? In the regulations concerning the food for elderly long-term-care patients in Swedish hospitals, the exact vitamins and nutrients which every meal should contain are indicated very precisely. What happens in this situation to the patients' own wishes? The question was actualized when the author conducted an interview study among long-term-care patients.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article builds on Georg Simmel's thesis that confidence is a most important synthetic force in modern society Its vitality is strengthened in the urban society based on anonymous relations In the rural society con fidence was based on personal information: in trading, retailer and customer knew each other and whom they could not trust Today confidence is based on non-personal information, on consumer laws, declarations of contents, and various technological devices. The article explores the changing basis of confidence and shows how various cues are used to manage modern confidence.
