Complicit surveillance, interveillance, and the question of cosmopolitanism : Toward a phenomenological understanding of mediatization
- 2015
-
In: New Media and Society. - : SAGE Publications. - 1461-4448 .- 1461-7315. ; 17:9, s. 1473-1491
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The institutional and meta-processual dimensions of surveillance have been scrutinized extensively in literature. In these accounts, the subjective, individual level has often been invoked in relation to subject-object, surveillor-surveilled dualities and in terms of the kinds of subjectivity modern and late-modern institutions engender. The experiential, ontological realm of the mediatized everyday vis-a-vis surveillance remains less explored, particularly from the phenomenological perspective of the lifeworld. Academic discourses of surveillance mostly address rhetorically oriented macro-perspectives. The same diagnosis largely applies to the debates on the cosmopolitanization process. The literature of cosmopolitanism revolves around broad cultural and ethical transformations in terms of the relationship between Self and Other, individual and humanity, and the local and the universal. Our aim in this article is to conceptualize the dynamics that yield a cosmopolitan Self and an encapsulated Self under conditions of increasingly interactive and ubiquitous forms of mediation and surveillance.

Media, Communication, and the Environment in Precarious Times
- 2018
-
In: Journal of Communication. - : Oxford University Press. - 0021-9916 .- 1460-2466. ; 68:2, s. 267-277
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The seminal 1983 "Ferments in the Field" collection made limited reference to environmental issues and concerns. Considering communication media and technological artifacts as both nature and culture and, more specifically, through defining media as both infrastructural environments and content, we discuss how challenges brought about by environmental change can inform contemporary media and communication research and environmental communication. The materiality of e-waste, which has resonance for cultural, political, economic, and geographic analyses, is used as an illuminating case in point. We link the implications ensuing from the e-waste issue with the roles mediation and communication of environmental narratives play, and how they can be informed by such "medianatures," as well as geopolitical considerations.

Repurposing the hacker: Three cycles of recuperation in the evolution of hacking and capitalism
- 2018
-
In: Ephemera : Theory and Politics in Organization. - 2052-1499 .- 1473-2866. ; 18:3, s. 457-476
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The spread of hacking to new fields brings with it a renewed necessity to analyse its significance in relation to industrial and institutional innovation. We sketch out a framework drawing on the idea of ‘recuperation’ and use it to situate an emerging body of work on hackers. By adopting the concept of recuperation, we highlight how hacker practices and innovations are adopted, adapted and repurposed by corporate and political actors. In other words, hacking itself is being hacked. We suggest three cycles within which this dynamics unfolds and can be studied: 1) the life cycle of an individual technology or community, 2) the co-evolution of hacker movements and relevant industries or institutions, 3) the position of hacking within the ‘spirit of the times’, or, differently put, the periodic transformations of capitalism.

Appropriating social media: The changing uses of social media among journalists across time
- 2015
-
In: Future of Journalism Conference, Cardiff 10-11 september, 2015.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The hype over social media and the rapid expansion of social networking and micro-blogging in recent years can easily lead us to believe that all journalists are online, chatting and tweeting, all the time. Previous research, however, indicates that the spread of social media differs between groups of journalists and that social media usage is related to the journalist’s age, gender, type of work and workplace. This paper advances our understanding of how journalists appropriate social media in their professional lives by examining the changes in social media use across time. Has the group of enthusiastic activists who have fully embraced a life online, being connected and twittering or blogging continuously, become larger across time, and are the social media avoiders gradually disappearing? We examine if and how the perceived usefulness of social media for various professional purposes changes over time, and if different categories of journalists change their usage in different ways. The theoretical perspective draws from theories on the appropriation and adoption of technologies. The empirical material consists of two sets of web survey data collected in 2012 and 2014, targeting representative samples of Swedish journalists. Our findings show that the use of social media increased slightly between the two surveys but the expansion was levelling off in 2014. Some early adopters were abandoning social media, and there was a noticeable decline in the journalists’ valuation of social media affordances.

Geographies of free labor : Mobilizing consumers across immersive transmediascapes
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When Swedish artist Tove Styrke released her album Kiddo on Spotify in 2015, she simultaneously released an 8-bit game for her fans to play on kiddogame.com. By sharing high scores, users could win merchandise especially put together by the artist. The game was also promoted by one of the most well-known Swedish gaming streamers, posting his own Kiddo Game competition to his followers. A week after the release, Tove performed at Dreamhack, which also shared the game on their website and on Twitter. Later that summer, a live version of the game was staged at a major Swedish music festival, where Tove also performed. The game was easily shared via Facebook and twitter, and while playing the game the album played via Spotify.Worldwide, the music industry struggles to come to terms with how to make profit in times of illegal downloading, streaming, and Spotifyication. One apparent strategy is to rely on consumer engagement. The Tove Styrke campaign could be read as a contemporary example of so called transmedia marketing; that is, as a “holistic content creation approach” (Zeiser, 2015: xv) that simultaneously involves multiple content platforms. The attraction of transmedia marketing lies in its potential to foster engaged consumers who are ready to “haunt” a brand experience across several content platforms. In this paper, we join with the burgeoning critical scholarship that interprets consumer “engagement” as a form of labor. Since much of this labor gets paid in affect rather than money, such labor has rightfully been recognized as a form of free labor.While both transmedia marketing and free labor has been subjected to many studies over the last decade, there is a lack of research initiatives that explicitly address the spatiality of both of these phenomena (though see e.g. Stork’s [2014] engagement with the “transmedia geography” of the Glee franchise). What is more; if it is rare to talk about the geographies of transmediality in the first place, it is equally rare to talk about transmediality, at all, in relation to music. Perhaps not so surprisingly but all the more inaccurately, there seems to be a prevailing perception that transmedia productions are exclusive to, at least traditionally, more narrative-bound franchises such as television, film, game, or comic books. However, storytelling is becoming all the more important also to music brands. Consequently, we identify a need for studies that acknowledge that 1) the notion of transmediality is applicable also to music, and 2) that the spatiality of transmedia endeavors is worthy scholarly review. Our conviction is that just as work-places constitute obvious research objects in relation to other kinds of labor, so do the transmedia “social factories” warrant scholarly attention.As to compensate for the identified research lack then, this paper investigates several actual cases of transmedia marketing in the music industry – and the free labor that such marketing potentially engenders – by way of qualitative content analyses that employ a cross-disciplinary conceptual framework. The framework combines theoretical perspectives from the ‘spatial turn’ and the ‘labor turn’ in media studies and allows us to approach, and visually present, transmedia marketing as a landscape – what we call a transmediascape. Such transmediascapes, our results indicate, can be read as the perfect soil for free labor since they mobilize consumers in more than one respect: they assemble consumer affect and, at the same time, encourage physical as well as virtual fan movement. Thus, due to its multifaceted connotation, pointing towards both affectivity and mobility, we find that the term ‘mobilization’ serves as a fruitful link between spatial theory and labor theory and a key concept for analyzing the geographies of free labor.The era of transmediatization is marked by increased reliance, in all the more societal spheres, on content that transcend singular media platforms and, accordingly, by new modes of media consumption. Much research has recognized, confirmed, and explored this transformation, and ‘transmediality’ has hitherto been subjected to relatively extensive theorization. Nonetheless, the spatiality of transmediality remains largely undertheorized. As to correct for this shortage, this paper proposes transmediascape as an analytical tool for discerning the complex topographies of media ownership, technologies, texts, meanings, and practices that constitute today’s transmediatized culture. With inspiration from work in both the ‘spatial turn’ and ‘labor turn’ in media studies, we recognize the transmediascape as an arena of labour, where both paid and unpaid forms of work are carried out. Ultimately, we argue, the concept of transmediascape works as a tool for mapping geographies of free labour across institutional, technological, and textual levels. The present study illuminates current modes of ‘transmediascaping’ – or the practice of cultivating good “soil” for profitable consumer engagement – by focusing the transmedia marketing campaign that launched British/Irish boyband One Direction’s album ‘Made in the A.M’, in 2015.

Determinants of Organizational Mediatization : An Analysis of the Adaption of Swedish Government Agencies to News Media
- 2015
-
In: Public Administration. - New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons. - 0033-3298 .- 1467-9299. ; 93:4, s. 1049-1067
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article seeks to explain why the media affect some governmental agencies more than others. We develop a measuring instrument for the mediatization of agencies; gauging how they adapt to the media. We analyse the effects of six potential explanations of mediatization: media pressure, organizational size and task, salience, geographic location, and management structure. The analysis is based on a comprehensive quantitative contents analysis of policy documents from all governmental agencies in Sweden. The results show that agencies' propensity to adapt to the media is mainly determined by their management structure rather than, as could have been expected, by media pressure. Organizations managed by career managers invest more in media management than those led by field-professionals. Our results suggest that agencies have substantial agency in terms of how they cope with the media and that mediatization refers to much more than passive adaptation by organizations.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- I det moderna informationssamhället finns ett överskott på information och ett underskott på uppmärksamhet, mål-gruppsanpassning är därför viktigt för att vara effektiv i sin kommunikation. Användandet av riktade budskap gentemot olika väljargrupper är dock inget nytt utan är ett beprövat grepp och en självklarhet för att nå ut till ”rätt” väljare. Arbe-tet med målgruppsanalyser blir också allt viktigare i och med att väljargrupperna blir allt mer rörliga. Partierna behöver känna sina målgrupper för att kunna utforma sin kommuni-kation på ett bra/rätt sätt.

Mediatization of Self-identity and Divorce : A Study of Life-style Journalism and an Internet Forum on Divorce in Sweden
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mediatization of Self-identity and DivorceA Study of Life-style Journalism and an Internet Forum onDivorce in Sweden Camilla HermanssonLuleå University of TechnologyCamilla.hermansson@ltu.se+46 735 244683 Marriage in liquid modernity with increased individualization has to a greater extent came to be the creation of individual autobiographies, instead of based on rigid conventions. (Bauman 2000, Giddens, 1991) In this environment individuals also faces risks to be exposed to divorce in close relationships. This outline for a study will examine how life-style journalism interact with discussions about divorce on an internet forum in Sweden.Giddens (1991) writes that even self-identity is at stake in late-modern societies, because the reflexive individual is considered to create his own autobiography from a greater number of options which the self must constantly make revisions in relation to. The marriage is under negotiation and is characterized as a transition to the so-called pure relationship where only the love to another should be the guiding principle. Late-modernity itself is a risk culture which challenge individuals trust mechanisms.(Beck 1986, Giddens, 1991) Individual´s are exposed to the risk that their marriage can be dissolved, and after a divorce the self faces challenges to establish trust in another human being. Giddens believes that the media plays a very significant role when self-identity is shaped, and the media also help define social reality and patterns of social interaction. Late modernity itself fundamentally change the everyday life of individuals, and personal aspects of our experience has become mediatized to a greater extent than before. Mediatization has emerged as a new research agenda within media studies, and the concept can be understood from different perspectives and at different levels in society. It is often regarded as a middle-range theory in need to be defined, and also adapted to the prevailing condition of studies on an increasing number of issues. Social institutions and cultural processes have changed character in response to the media having greater authority to define social processes. (Hjarvard 2013, Couldry & Hepp, 2017) Mediated experience is created and penetrates into individual experience, self-identity och everyday life. Late-modernity and mediatization har led to more and more media becoming a part of the individual´s everyday life, and media texts and images becomes part of the individual´s identity contruction. (Fornäs, 2015). Digitalization and Web 2.0 has given individual´s the option to discuss, for example, on internet forums and to write and get response about their life experiences and challenges. The construction of the self and the media are woven into our private lives. Virtually all of human experiences are mediated by socialization, but also in language.(Giddens, 1991) In this study on media in Sweden discussion treads about divorce on the internet forum www.familjeliv.se are to be examined together with life-style journalism in supplements to tabloids (Expressen Söndag and Aftonbladet Söndag). The aim is to try to understand how individuals communicate an eminently traumatic period in their lives where their self-identity is at stake, and how in a wider context this becomes a discursive construction in interface with the tabloids. The study uses a critical discourse analysis (CDA) and an analysis of visual and linguistic elements in order to thematizise the material and to make close readings of texts. In the visual analysis the symbolic interaction between the observer and observed are to be studied, where photos and illustrations are of interest. Camera angles and the distance to the images are to be interpreted, as well as the demands, requests and offers that are made visible. (Björkvall, 2012) The linguistic elements found in texts on the internet forum and in the supplements to the tabloids are to be examined on a lexical level and the texts modality and evaluation is also of interest.(Fairclough, 1991)

Reading and company : embodiment and social space in silent reading
- 2018
-
In: Literacy. - : Wiley. - 1741-4350 .- 1741-4369. ; 52:2, s. 70-77
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reading, even when silent and individual, is a social phenomenon and has often been studied as such. Complementary to this view, research has begun to explore how reading is embodied beyond simply being ‘wired’ in the brain. This article brings the social and embodied perspectives together in a very literal sense. Reporting a qualitative study of reading practices across student focus groups from six European countries, it identifies an underexplored factor in reading behaviour and experience. This factor is the sheer physical presence, and concurrent activity, of other people in the environment where one engages in individual silent reading. The primary goal of the study was to explore the role and possible associations of a number of variables (text type, purpose, device) in selecting generic (e.g. indoors vs outdoors) as well as specific (e.g. home vs library) reading environments. Across all six samples included in the study, participants spontaneously attested to varied, and partly surprising, forms of sensitivity to company and social space in their daily efforts to align body with mind for reading. The article reports these emergent trends and discusses their potential implications for research and practice.

Young, sceptical, and environmentally (dis)engaged : do news habits make a difference?
- 2019
-
In: Journal of Science Communication. - Trieste : Sissa Medialab srl. - 1824-2049. ; 18:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research shows that news consumption plays a positive role in youths' environmental engagement. This article examines if this also holds true for sceptics by comparing Swedish climate change sceptics with non-sceptical youngsters in their early and late adolescence. We conceptualise news consumption as foci of public connection and orientation rather than a source of environmental information. The results show that in their early teens, heavy news consumers among both sceptics and non-sceptics are indeed more engaged with environmental issues than their less news-oriented peers. However, in late adolescence, sceptics among news consumers show very little environmental engagement.

The Role of Tensions in the Empowering Communication
- 2015
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Contemporary organizations continue to face the longstanding empowerment trend, which involves increased member participation and responsibility in organizational life. Previous research contends the need of extensive communication with all stakeholders in order to provide for an empowering environment (Stohl & Cheney, 2001). This study explores how tensions play into the communicative interactivities implemented to facilitate empowerment. The work is informed by the communicative constitution of organizations (CCO) approach and mixed methods are used. The results show that tensions – related both to situated performances and organizational structures – play a significant role in the communication processes aiming for empowerment.

AREA TURNS GREEN Exploration of the Challenges in Counteracting the Commodification of Risk through the Concept of the Virtual as an Experience of Multiplicity in the Sensory-inscribed Body
- 2015
-
In: International conference GeoMedia 2015: Spaces and Mobilities in Mediatized Worlds, 5-8 May 2015 in Karlstad, Sweden.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Society is suffused with digital information that codes, maps, and otherwise organizes offline place such that technologies may increase perceptions of risk by reproducing existing economic and social disparities (Davies 1990; Beck 1986). These perceptions (see Renn 1992) can also limit the degree of freedom of movement in urban spaces (Sandstig 2014; 2013; 2010). One way of understanding this and the importance of mobile media is through the concept of embodied space (Lefebvre 1991) where the virtual always implies a counterpart indelibly linked to the actual. The theory of the sensory-inscribed body by Farman (2012) is used to bridge the body as sensory and body as a sign system. To define how space is produced in our mobile era the exploration takes off in the challenges counteracting the commodification of risk (Krahmann 2010; 2008). The purpose is to elaborate on how these challenges can be counteracted. The data used is the collaboration between the University of Gothenburg, Förvaltnings AB GöteborgsLokaler and the Foundation Safer Sweden in developing the digital safety walks in 2014 for Android and Apple platforms. Results: 1) By influencing the type of data employed in future automated decisions. Through: 2) the built in logic of resilience, trust and health promoting character of the concept of the safety walk; 3) how space is produced as a multiplicity of perceptions and inscriptions of socio-cultural meaning and; 4) user generated alterations of maps and representations of locations and thereby in the act of defining sites as locales.

Snabbtänkt Reflektioner från valet 2018 av ledande forskare
- 2018
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Snabbtänkt är valkommentarer som medeldistanslopp. Inte alls lika explosivt snabba som nyhetsanalytikers och ledarskribenters politiska bedömningar när valresultatet börjar utkristalliseras. Men inte heller lika uthålliga som akade-mins maratonlopp med konklusioner i antologier och publikationer långt efter det att den aktuella valrörelsen ägt rum. Snabbtänkt är i stället något ”mitt-i-mellan”. Förhoppningsvis i ordets bästa bemärkelse. En samling analyser som lyckas fånga det bästa av två världar: nyhetsmediernas snabbhet och forskarvärldens klokskap. Vår tanke med den här volymen har därför varit att försöka bidra till en professionell och saklig eftervalsdebatt. Nästan hundra av Sveriges ledande forskare har därför bjudits in för att utifrån sina specialkunskaper tio dagar efter valet kort kommentera vad de uppfattar som centrala trender och skeenden i valet och valrörelsen 2018. Det är första gången som den här idén genomförs i Sverige. Hur väl vi lyckas fylla en lucka i eftervalsdebatten är upp till läsarna att bedöma. Vi är tacksamma för att så många av våra kolleger på universitet och högskolor i och utanför Sverige har valt att medverka. Vi vill också tacka Mittuniversitetet som lämnat stöd till projektet. ”Tänka fritt är stort, tänka rätt är större” lyder en välkänd akademisk devis. ”Tänka snabbt är inte så dumt det heller”, frestas vi nog tillägga.

Internal Crisis Communication. An Employee Perspective on Narrative, Culture, and Sensemaking
- 2016
-
In: Corporate Communications. An International Journal. - 1356-3289. ; 21:1, s. 89-102
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the study of internal crisis communication, not only the communication from the management to the employees, but also the employees ’ communication with each other, in order to highlight the role of communication in the employees ’ sensemaking during a crisis situation. Design/methodology/approach – The study was conducted as interviews with both managers and employees at a municipality in the Stockholm region, where a former employee had just been accused of embezzling approx. 25 million SEK. The interviews were analysed with particular interest to descriptions of how information was communicated, and how the sensemaking process developed. Findings – The crisis communication was successful when it came to informing external stakeholders and media. But the management and the employees had different views on the communication. The employees felt that management did not present all the information they needed, which made their sensemaking based on assumptions and rumours, and on the culture in the unit. Management interpreted that the crisis was not due to a culture problem, while the employees felt that there was a shared responsibility. Blaming the former employee was perceived as a way of dodging the cultural problems. Practical implications – Conclusions can be generalized into three points: first, differences between external and internal crisis communication need to be taken into account. Second, a crisis can strengthen existing patterns within a dysfunctional culture. Third, do not use single employees as scapegoats, putting all blame on them. Originality/value – The study shows the significance of culture and rumour as components of sensemaking in a crisis situation. The results should be applicable to most kinds of organizations, commercial or not.

Crisis Communication in China: A Social Constructionist Approach
- 2016
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Crisis communication is a field dominated by functionalist and objectivist perspectives even though there are exceptions. With a departure in an alternative epistemology – social construc-tionism – this paper provides a reflective approach to understand crisis communication as a contextual and cultural construction process. Focusing on the social construction of crisis brings a much-needed approach to the field of crisis communication in China. China has en-tered a “risk society” with frequent occurrences of high-profile crises, while the existence of differing and conflicting “public opinion fields” bring consensus and problems of trust in the public sphere. To address these issues, the social constructionist approach focus on the percep-tual aspect of crisis by examining how social reality is produced and reproduced through communication during crisis. Based on a social constructionist epistemology, this paper pro-poses a three-theme analytical framework for future research and practice in crisis communi-cation in China: (1) public perspective, (2) proactive and interactive approach, and (3) com-munity-focused approach.

Mobile Technology for Social Inclusion of Migrants in the Age of Globalization: A Case Study of Newly Arrived Healthcare Professionals in Sweden
- 2019
-
In: The International Journal of Technology, Knowledge, and Society. - 1832-3669. ; 15:2, s. 1-18
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 2015–2016, an increased number of migrants entered the European Union. Supporting them in entering host societies and enhancing their social inclusion is a challenge. An essential inclusionary step is providing language and host culture training for the newcomers as well as supporting them in making contacts with locals. Mobile technology, due to its accessibility, can be a bridging tool between migrants and host societies. This study investigates the needs of a specific group of migrants—namely, newly arrived health care professionals (HCPs)—in terms of employability and integration into the labour market. Further, it reports on a user test conducted to explore how a specific mobile application “Welcome!” meets these needs and promotes HCPs’ integration into Swedish society. A qualitative methodology based on semi-structured focus group interviews and questionnaires with HCPs was used. The results show that the respondents express strong needs in language for specific purposes and intercultural communication training in relation to the healthcare context as well as in making contacts with professionals, which can be beneficial to obtaining employment. As the app provides opportunities for more general language training and contacts with locals, the participants showed little interest in using it. The study gives suggestions for developing mobile tools for supporting social inclusion of highly educated migrants, emphasizing the need to consider specific subpopulations in the design of mobile applications for migrant integration.

The conversational rollercoaster: Conversation analysis and the public science of talk
- 2018
-
In: Discourse Studies. - : Sage Publications. - 1461-4456 .- 1461-7080. ; 20:3, s. 397-424
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How does talk work, and can we engage the public in a dialogue about the scientific study of talk? This article presents a history, critical evaluation and empirical illustration of the public science of talk. We chart the public ethos of conversation analysis that treats talk as an inherently public phenomenon and its transcribed recordings as public data. We examine the inherent contradictions that conversation analysis is simultaneously obscure yet highly cited; it studies an object that people understand intuitively, yet routinely produces counter-intuitive findings about talk. We describe a novel methodology for engaging the public in a science exhibition event and show how our ‘conversational rollercoaster’ used live recording, transcription and public-led analysis to address the challenge of demonstrating how talk can become an informative object of scientific research. We conclude by encouraging researchers not only to engage in a public dialogue but also to find ways to actively engage people in taking a scientific approach to talk as a pervasive, structural feature of their everyday lives.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- [From the introduction] This volume is a special issue with contributions that stem from the collaborations of the 2018 AESOP PhD workshop, held 5-8 July at Tjärö island, Sweden. The overarching aim of the workshop was to establish inclusive spaces for dialogue and collaboration between PhD students across countries and continents on issues that pertained to the AESOP’s 2018 congress theme “Making space for hope”. Furthermore the PhD students got the chance to learn from the invited mentors with long experience from the academic planning field. The theme drew from a recognition of the severe challenges facing the world at present, for example, challenges coupled with the climate crisis, growing social inequalities, rapid population growth in urban regions and de-population trends in peripheral regions.

Showing where you're going : Instructing the accountable use of the indicator in live traffic
- 2018
-
In: International Journal of Applied Linguistics. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0802-6106 .- 1473-4192. ; 28, s. 248-264
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article takes an interest in how students at a driving school areinstructed how to make the car's behaviour intelligible (accountable)to other road users in traffic. Taking the indicator as an example,the analytic focus is on the ways in which the indicator'srelevance is instructed and its timely activation practiced, andhow activating the indicator is instructed as part of moreencompassing turning procedures. The indicator is one of the centralresources built into cars for displaying to others a driver'sintention about where to go next. Although indicating does not,in itself, affect the movement of the car, activating the indicatoris crucial for allowing others to anticipate a car's movement inspace, and coordinate themselves with it. The analysis showshow instructors manage trainee drivers' instructed actions duringdriving by providing descriptions of what using the indicatoraccomplishes before a directive to turn (a), after a directive to turn(b), and as accounts for initiating correction of trainee driver carcontrol activity (c).

Show us life and make us think: engagement, witnessing and activism in independent Chinese documentary today
- 2017
-
In: Studies in Documentary Film. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1750-3299 .- 1750-3280. ; 11:3, s. 161-169
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This introduction to the special issue, ‘Engagement, Witnessing and Activism: Independent Chinese Documentary Filmmakers’ Different Positions, Approaches and Aesthetics,’ argues that how the political is registered and expressed in Chinese activist documentaries cannot simply be read through Western ideas, concepts and aesthetics. Rather, Chinese work has been shaped partly in relation to state-sanctioned public discourse, and partly through the localising of international influences according to Chinese socio-political conditions. Contemporary Chinese activist documentary makers have chosen as their primary modus operandi an open, exploratory engagement with the ‘grassroots’ (jiceng). The core commitment in this approach is to the truth of the on-screen subject’s experience as they themselves see it. Modes of engagement with the grassroots include: making visible people and identities that state-sanctioned representations hide or gloss over; bearing witness to events and situations that are similarly hidden, or presented in a very particular manner, in state-sanctioned representations; and exploring memories and historical experiences which are otherwise unacknowledged or presented within narrow interpretive parameters in state-sanctioned media. This introduction details how the articles in this special issue analyse and discuss Chinese activist works that utilise one or more of these modes.

Environmental communication and community : constructive and destructive dynamics of social transformation
- 2016
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- As society has become increasingly aware of environmental issues, the challenge of structuring public participation opportunities that strengthen democracy, while promoting more sustainable communities has become crucial for many natural resource agencies, industries, interest groups and publics. The processes of negotiating between the often disparate values held by these diverse groups, and formulating and implementing policies that enable people to fulfil goals associated with these values, can strengthen communities as well as tear them apart. This book provides a critical examination of the role communication plays in social transition, through both construction and destruction of community. The authors examine the processes and practices put in play when people who may or may not have previously seen themselves as interconnected, communicate with each other, often in situations where they are competing for the same resources. Drawing upon a diverse selection of case-studies on the American, Asian and European continents, the chapters chart a range of approaches to environmental communication, including symbolic construction, modes of organising and agonistic politics of communication. This volume will be of great interest to researchers, teachers, and practitioners of environmental communication, environmental conflict, community development and natural resource management.

Diverging Principles for Strategic Communication in Government Agencies
- 2016
-
In: International Journal of Strategic Communication. - 1553-1198. ; 10:3, s. 153-164
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to analyze how public agencies deal with strategic communication and how it gets redefined and reformulated in relation to rules, norms, and ideas permeating different contexts. Research on strategic communication tends to oversee such differences and what consequences they have for what it is that mobilizes the use of communication in various settings. Informed by an increasing literature on organizational institutionalism we seek to overcome these limitations. With a textual analysis of policies and strategy documents from 179 Swedish government agencies, we examine what multiple and contradictory institutional conditions mean for how strategic communication is conceptualized. The results show that there are four frequent principles for strategic communication mobilized by the agencies. The results also show that a vast majority of the agencies are trying to handle conflicting principles when they form frameworks and strategies for their communication activities. We use the results as a point of departure for a discussion whether complex and pluralistic conditions are to be defined as problematic and necessary to be resolved (as mainstream literature would suggest) or as unavoidable and something authorities must be able to handle. © 2016 Taylor & Francis.

Education for sustainable food consumption in home and consumer studies : Lärande för hållbar matkonsumtion i hem- och konsumentkunskap
- 2018
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Education as a means to enable sustainable food consumption has gained increasing recognition as a vital means to decrease current burdens upon both natural resources and human health. In response, the Swedish compulsory school subject of home and consumer studies, which positions education about food as core content, has been revised to incorporate in its national syllabus a perspective of sustainable development since 2011. However, because sustainable development remains an ambiguous, contested concept with a range of definitions and interpretations, it is necessary to gain better understanding of what incorporating its perspective can entail in home and consumer studies, particularly regarding the core food-related content knowledge that it teaches. Building upon four papers, this thesis reports research guided by an interpretive and exploratory approach that involved analysing data from syllabuses, observations, recordings of in-class lessons and interviews with practising teachers. The results reveal two ways of understanding what incorporating a perspective of sustainable development can entail in home and consumer studies in Sweden. The first understanding proposes an enriched and unified practice in which the curriculum prioritises embodied forms of knowledge about healthy, ethical and resource-efficient food consumption by allowing a multi-relational, systems thinking approach while focusing a homemade meal practice. By contrast, the second understanding proposes a practice riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions in providing teaching and learning opportunities to attain the intended goals. This ultimately results in fragmented learning opportunities focused more on informed reasoning than on informed actions. Taken together, both understandings pose theoretical, conceptual and practical implications, both for home and consumer studies in particular and in education for sustainable food consumption in general.

Communication problems when participants disagree (or avoid disagreeing) in dialogues in Swedish natural resource management – challenges to agonism in practice
- 2018
-
In: Frontiers in communication. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2297-900X. ; 3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article, we analyze how participants perform disagreement in meetings organized with the explicit purpose of managing through dialogue conflicts concerning natural resources in Sweden. How is a conversation initiated about something that participants disagree about? How do they clarify to each other that, about what, and why they disagree? How do they show that they understand it is like that and what do they do when this is clear to them? Answers to these questions are important because, if dialogue is to contribute to the constructive development of conflict situations, dialogue should be regarded as a forum where disagreement is expressed and developed, rather than as a forum and tool for consensus. We conducted a sequential analysis of how disagreement is performed and accomplished in normative dialogues in which participants talk about how to reduce the negative impact of wildlife populations — such as predators and grazing birds — on human activities such as domestic reindeer husbandry and cropfarming. The analysis shows that disagreement is articulated in ways that do not seem to make ontological, epistemological and axiological differences among positions clear for participants. We identified six procedures through which disagreements are(not) accomplished in these conversations. This shows that routines and procedures in normative dialogue are characterized by consensus-preferences not helpful foragonistic dialogue. In order to avoid situations where dialogue leads to discursive closures, standards and procedures that facilitate articulation of disagreement need to be developed.

Towards understanding and resolving the conflict related to the Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) conservation with participatory management planning
- 2016
-
In: Land Use Policy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0264-8377 .- 1873-5754. ; 54, s. 158-168
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Conflicts often arise in relation to the conservation of protected predator species. If stakeholders are well defined and involved in participatory processes, their views and perceptions can be incorporated and steps can be made towards resolving such conflicts. In this paper, a case from Hungary is presented. In this case, a participatory management planning process was initiated in the Jaszsag Special Protection Area of European importance (SPA), within the frame of a LIFE+ project focusing on the conservation of the Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca). It provided a good opportunity to address a complex conflict situation between nature conservationists, game managers and farmers. We identified structural conflicts such as contradictions between direct agricultural payments and nature conservation goals, conflicts related to different views of the main influencing factors, relational problems between various stakeholders, and even differences in value orientation. The participatory management planning process was successful in clarifying the conflict situation and making productive steps toward a common understanding and resolution. Besides the mutually agreed conservation measures, the establishment of an administrative and financial incentive such as the high nature value area (HNVA) scheme proved to be an especially important factor for mitigating the conflict. It also contributed to a more successful realisation of nature conservation objectives in an area dominated by private land owners. However, continued interaction and cooperation are needed to stabilise this progress. Our paper also shows that stakeholder involvement in conservation management planning can transcend the strategic dimension of participation, and address broader common values besides the interests of land user groups.

Fear of climate change consequences and predictors of intentions to alter meat consumption
- 2016
-
In: Food Policy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0306-9192 .- 1873-5657. ; 62, s. 151-160
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reducing or altering meat consumption has the potential to significantly lower the impact humans have on climate change. Consumers, however, are unlikely to break their food habits unless they are aware of the problem and motivated by the solutions. Fear appeals are often used to overcome this, however, their effectiveness in the context of meat reduction and climate change is unclear. Given the widespread use of fear appeals in information policy, it is important to understand more. The aim of this study was to explore fear or more specifically the danger control process in a climate change food context in order to understand the factors which motivate consumers to reduce or alter their meat consumption. Using a stratified random sample of 222 respondents in Southern Sweden, we develop a model for predicting intentions to adopt specific and general actions to reduce or alter meat consumption. Our results suggest that the general key to motivating consumers is through increasing their self-efficacy towards adopting meat alternatives and educating them on the importance their actions have in reducing the threat. We also found that appraising the threat to self (or those close) was significant, but surprisingly the effect size was greater when the threat concerned others (e.g. others in impoverished nations, animals).

On the use of density-based algorithms for the analysis of solute clustering in atom probe tomography data
- 2019
-
In: Minerals, Metals and Materials Series. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 2367-1696 .- 2367-1181. ; Part F11, s. 2097-2113
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Because atom probe tomography (APT) provides three-dimensional reconstructions of small volumes by resolving atomic chemical identities and positions, it is uniquely suited to analyze solute clustering phenomena in materials. A number of approaches have been developed to extract clustering information from the 3D reconstructed dataset, and numerous reports can be found applying these methods to a wide variety of materials questions. However, results from clustering analyses can differ significantly from one report to another, even when performed on similar microstructures, raising questions about the reliability of APT to quantitatively describe solute clustering. In addition, analysis details are often not provided, preventing independent confirmation of the results. With the number of APT research groups growing quickly, the APT community recognizes the need for educating new users about common methods and artefacts, and for developing analysis and data reporting protocols that address issues of reproducibility, errors, and variability. To this end, a round robin experiment was organized among ten different international institutions. The goal is to provide a consistent framework for the analysis of irradiated stainless steels using APT. Through the development of more reliable and reproducible data analysis and through communication, this project also aims to advance the understanding between irradiated microstructure and materials performance by providing more complete quantitative microstructural input for modeling. The results, methods, and findings of this round robin will also apply to other clustering phenomena studied using APT, beyond the theme of radiation damage.

Seized and missed opportunities in responding to conflicts : constructivity and destructivity in forest conflicts management in Finland and British Columbia, Canada
- 2016
-
In: Environmental communication and community : constructive and destructive dynamics of social transformation. - 9781138913868 ; , s. 229-249
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter compares two high profile forest conflicts to show the importance and constructive role conflicts can play as drivers of social change by improving the access of previously disadvantaged groups to decision-making processes. The analysis builds on literature on policy regimes, collaborative planning theory and conflict analysis in comparing the conflict dynamics and the conflict management responses adopted by the government forest agencies in Finland and British Columbia. The analysis shows that the extent to which conflicts contribute constructively to change depends not only on the intention of those who challenge the system, but centrally on the responses of those with power to manage the resources and the planning processes.

Att utveckla framtidens informationssystem : Problematiska gränsdragningar mellan det sociala och det tekniska
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den här rapporten handlar om relationen mellan tekniska och sociala aspekter av en verksamhet, i kontexten analys och utveckling av informationssystem. Den empiriska kontexten för rapporten utgörs av en förstudie i polisorganisationen som genomfördes under 2016-2017 med syfte att undersöka möjligheterna att utveckla ett nytt ledningsstödsystem. Studien genomfördes som en fallstudie med deltagande observationer av möten, intervjuer, samt projektdokumentation ligger till grund för analysen. Det empiriska material som ligger till grund för studien är en rapport som fokuserar på verksamhetsanalys av polisorganisationen, och framförallt de delar av rapporten som beskriver verksamhetens nuvarande förmågor och behov relaterat till ett nytt ledningsstödsystem. Rapporten analyserades med hjälp av analytiska begrepp såsom socioteknisk teori, deltagande design och sociomateriell teori. Analysen visar att det i beskrivningarna av verksamhetens förmågor finns en viss övervikt av tekniska formuleringar, något som kan förstås på flera olika sätt. Dels kan det förstås som att det tekniska och det sociala hänger så intimt samman i moderna organisationer att tidigare gränsdragningar mellan dessa har spelat ut sin roll. Det kan också förstås som en otydlighet som går bra att bibehålla i en förstudie och utifrån ett verksamhetsperspektiv, men kan komma att behöva tydliggöras ifall det kommer till konkret utveckling av ett ledningsstödsystem. Övervikten av tekniska formuleringar ger också intryck av en viss teknikoptimism. Slutsatsen är att gränsdragningar mellan tekniska och sociala aspekter av en verksamhet blir betydelsefulla på olika sätt i olika faser av design av informationssystem, något som man behöver ta hänsyn till vid utvecklingen av informationssystem mer generellt.

Framtidens skadeplats: Förväntningar, farhågor och utvecklingsbehov : Resultat av en fokusgrupp inom kommunal räddningstjänst
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva föreställningar, förväntningar och farhågor när det gäller framtidens skadeplats hos yrkesverksamma inom kommunal räddningstjänst, att identifiera centrala frågor, diskutera och problematisera dem samt att ge förslag till kunskaps- och utvecklingsperspektiv på området och lyfta fram organisatoriska utvecklingsområden.Det fanns en stor samstämmighet om att framtidens skadeplats kommer att karaktäriseras av fortsatt teknik- och kommunikationsutveckling och nya material som kommer att påverka exempelvis bränder och trafikhändelser. Det gällde bränder i nya byggnader med nya material och trafikhändelser med nya fordon och material, mer vårdslösa förare på ett vägnät som inte är anpassat – men också färre små olyckor utifrån t.ex. självkörande bilar men i stället fler skadade i olyckorna. Man förutsåg också ökande sociala spänningar som utlöser händelsekedjor och ökade inslag av hot samt en förändrade attityder till exempelvis räddningspersonal. Vidare angavs väderhändelser som allt mer extrema väder som orsakar torka och brandrisk eller översvämningar och slutligen terrorhot av olika slag. Man betonade tydligt oron för om samhället och räddningstjänsten förmår utvecklas för att möta nya typer av händelser, nya och mer komplexa uppdrag med krav på delvis annorlunda utbildning och nya attityder till räddningstjänsten både hos allmänheten och anställda. Samtidigt är dagens organisationer och produktionsformer inte är anpassade för komplexitet. För det krävs nya perspektiv som kan läggas till grund för alternativa synsätt på produktion av räddningstjänst som produktion inte bara av varor, utan som produktion av service och tjänster eller kunskapsproduktion. Det i sin tur läggs till grund för förslag på nio tänkbara organisatoriska utvecklingsområden.

Framtidens skadeplats: Utvärdera och lära från samverkansövningar : Slutrapport från projektet Lärande utvärdering från samverkansövning och insats inom regional sjöräddningssamverkan
- 2019
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Många trender pekar på ett ökat behov av samverkan i framtiden, exempelvis där resurserna är glesa eller för att lösa komplexa samhällsfrågor. Inom räddning och respons är lärande och utveckling av samverkan i stor omfattning baserat på att ta tillvara och lära av erfarenheter från övningar och skarpa insatser. Utvärderingar är centrala som grund för det samtidigt som det finns kritik mot att utvärderingar är bristfälliga eller att utvärderingars resultat inte tas tillvara. Speciellt framhävs detta när det gäller samverkansövningar.Sjö- och flygräddning, SAR, är per definition ett samverkansuppdrag, lett och koordinerat av Sjöfartsverket. För att utföra sjöräddningsuppdrag är de primära resurserna utöver egna räddningshelikoptrar och mycket begränsad personal för lotsning och mätning, så kallade primärresurser som Kustbevakningen (KBV), Sjöpolis och kommunal räddningstjänst samt Sjöräddningssällskapet (SSRS). Insatserna koordineras via Sjö- och flygräddningscentralen (JRCC). Primära resurser har på ledningsnivå gemensam utbildning via Sjöfartsverket och övar tillsammans regelbundet i regional sjöräddningssamverkan, (RSS). I förlängningen är dock alla på sjön, från Försvarsmaktens marina enheter till vägfärjor och fritidsbåtar att se som tänkbara resurser och har skyldighet att hjälpa till enligt sjölagen. Det gäller också internationellt. Det innebär att förmågan att samverka mellan resurser med helt olika förmåga, olika kulturer, olika språk och delvis olika lagstiftning är själva förutsättningen för svensk sjöräddning liksom att mobilisera, strukturera och leda sådan samverkan.Det övergripande syftet med det här projektet var att tillsammans med räddningsorganisationerna utveckla utvärderingsformer för självlärande från samverkansövningar och samverkansinsatser för ökad effektivitet, lärande och möjlighet till jämförelse över tid. För att uppfylla det följdes och utvärderades fyra olika samverkansövningar i sjöräddningsregionen Mälaren- Landsort, dels med kvalitativa metoder som observation och intervjuer, dels med en enkät som ursprungligen utvecklats för Sjöfartsverket. Projektet resulterade i tre separata arbetsrapporter varav den sista helt genomfördes och författades av handläggaren för RSS-området. Resultaten av rapporterna sammanställdes och lades sedan till grund för en teoretisk analys och diskussion av hur samverkansövningar inom sjöräddning kan utvärderas och vad utvärderingar ska ta sikte på för att vara relevanta.Olika typer av samverkan kräver olika fokus i övningar och utvärderingar Förutsättningarna för sjöräddningssamverkan är annorlunda än för traditionella välfärdstjänster vilket innebär att traditionellt nordiskt perspektiv på ”horisontell” myndighetssamverkan om räddning inte är så tillämpligt. Traditionellt betonas vikten av gemensamma mål och värden som skapas under en längre tid i en demokratisk process. Det kräver dock stabila förutsättningar. Sjöräddningssamverkan är ett tillfälligt nätverk för samverkan i en kontext av hög osäkerhet där varje olycka ses som unik. Samverkanskonstellationerna är tillfälliga och baseras på tillgängliga aktörer vilket kan innebära aktörer från alla samhällssektorer, såväl yrkesmässigt verksamma och övade, som aktörer som inte alls är verksamma inom sjö- och flygräddning, som känner varandra och varandras sätt att arbeta väl eller inte alls, som har samma språk och kultur eller inte förstår varandras språk eller kultur och som slutligen kanske aldrig mer kommer att samverka. Också de fysiska förutsättningarna skiljer sig åt, där de olika aktörerna i sjöräddningssamverkan dels har olika förutsättningar som exempelvis, grundgående, räckvidd eller förutsättningar att klara is, hårt väder dels befinner sig i olika enheter där spontan och informell kommunikation många gånger är starkt begränsad.För utvärdering av sjöräddningssamverkan och samverkansövningar är därför definitioner och perspektiv som framhäver koordinering och kombinering av resurser i en räddningskedja mer relevanta och användbara än traditionella samverkansperspektiv. I stället för att fokusera på de (eventuellt) gemensamma målen hos organisationerna, fokuseras på en specifik insats i en tillfällig samverkanskedja för att lösa en specifik uppgift. I stället för varje aktörs (och individs rättvist fördelade aktivitet i övningar, fokuseras på hur olika steg i kedjan koordineras och hur olika aktörers bidrag kombineras till att räddningskedjans uppgift löses. På så sätt blir de mål som ska uppnås mer konkreta och lätta att utvärdera och divergerande myndighetsuppdrag och mål inte så störande som vid s.k. ”horisontell” samverkan.Kodifierad eller okodiferad kunskap för samverkan De kunskaper och lärande som aktualiseras i samverkansövningar kan också skilja sig åt beroende på samverkansförutsättningarna. Ju mer rutinbetonad, förutsägbar verksamheten är, ju mer man kan läsa sig till vad man ska göra i manualer, ju mer förlitar man sig på s.k. kodifierbar kunskap, dvs kunskap som kan beskrivas (kodas) och förmedlas i instruktioner och checklistor. Sådan kunskap kan ganska enkelt överföras i t.ex. utbildning och tränas. Ju mer osäker och oförutsägbar situation, där den kunskap som ska appliceras är en bedömningsfråga, och där det handlar om bedömningar som i sig är komplexa, ju mer behövs s.k. okodifierbar, tyst kunskap; hantverkskunnande som behöver övas och utvecklas. Sådana kunskaper är mer komplexa och avancerade. De kan vara individuella men också kollektiva i ett arbetslag. Det behövs visserligen rutiner och kunskaper som sitter i ryggmärgen hos var och en men det behövs också avancerade kunskapsresurser som möjliggör problemlösning och anpassning för att få samverkan att fungera i unika räddningsinsatser. Sådana kunskaper omfattar flexibel problemlösning, anpassning till förutsättningar och skapande av nya lösningar. De kan inte läsas in utan behöver övas och praktiseras.Övningsmål och övningsdesigner Övningsmål för samverkan kan vara av vitt skilda slag, från att testa eller kontrollera vad aktörerna förmår av olika inslag i samverkan, att identifiera utvecklings/lärandebehov, att öva nya kunskaper eller att utveckla, prova eller uppfinna nya sätt att samverka eller underlätta samverkan. De samverkansövningar för regional sjöräddningssamverkan som ingick i studien var i huvudsak inriktade mot att checka av förmågan inom ett antal områden. Å ena sidan kan det ses som lågt satta mål för omfattande övningar, å andra sidan var flera av de avchecknings-punkterna mycket omfattande. I flera övningar lades dock specifika övningsmål till som pekade på utveckling i form av nya deltagare, nya relationer, ny metodik. I några fall provades nya arbetsformer i övningarna vilket kan ses som vardagsinnovation.När det gäller mål och inriktning för samverkansövningar som syftar till utveckling och lärande är det viktigt att de erbjuder utmaningar inom just att definiera och prioritera problem, anpassning, om fall och omprioriteringar, liksom att övningarna inte har facit utan är öppna för att kunna lösas på olika sätt inom inriktningsbeslut.De möjligheterna finns inom såväl fältövningar, som simulering och table top-övningar och vissa webbövningar eller strategi- och rollspel. Att öva problemlösning och samverkan kan göras genom att försätta sig i nya situationer när det gäller tid, plats eller händelse eller med nya partners. Det behöver inte alltid vara en räddningssituation men det är viktigt att inte bara individuellt lärande praktiksamverkan mellan de olika statliga och kommunala räddningsledarutbildningarna samt auskultation hos andra aktörer i räddningssystemet. Kraven på parallellitet när det gäller räddningsledning för olika aktörers räddningsarbete samt att samverka med en övergripande systemledningsnivå är också mycket viktiga att öva och utveckla utifrån förutsedda behov framöver.Kommunikation Aktörer som kommunens POSOM-grupp i övning 2, eller räddningstjänstens ytbärgare i övning 4 hade inte tillgång till RAKEL-kommunikationen och kunde därmed inte följa med i vad som hände eller kommunicera/bedöma behov av egna insatser. Poliserna i övning 2 ansågs prata alldeles för mycket i headset vilket irriterade dem som hade handburna enheter i öppna båtar och begränsad hörbarhet pga. miljön. Alla medverkande måste kunna kommunicera och förstå förutsättningarna för kommunikation som fungerar för alla. Kommunikation måste också fungera i kedjans hela längd. Externt ska övningen eller insatsen kommuniceras till sekundärt berörda aktörer, allmänhet och till media. De medverkande organisationernas resurser för information och kommunikation bör därför vara en del av räddningskedjan och det är viktigt att de medverkande organisationernas kommunikatörer är övade för uppgiften.Utvärdering Målen för samverkansövningarna i studien pekade i första hand på kontrollutvärderingar där man kunde bocka av att aktiviteterna har utförts vilket är relevant för uppdraget om att hålla en beredskap som RSS-verksamheten har. Innehållsmässigt var dock övningarna komplicerade, beroende av analys, värdering och egen organisering och ställde krav både på egna grundkunskaper men också mer avancerad, okodifierad kunskap. I synnerhet gällde det den sista övningen, isövning Isabella vars uttalade mål tydligt angav okodifierad kunskap.Jämfört med de tre andra övningarna fanns en större överensstämmelse mellan inriktningen av mål, övningsdesign och utvärdering i övning 4, isövning Isabella, som genomgående hade okodifierade mål i form av att prova och utveckla, okodi

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This roundtable discussion draws together researchers with an interest of overcoming purely juridical treatment of piracy in their work. Christopher Kelty and Gabriella Coleman consider the aspects of cyberculture, which conflictually engage with intellectual property rights, through various communities of technology practice, including hackers. Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi’s work on fair use addresses the growing opportunities for creators in the United States to utilize the tradition in their creative fields. Jonas Andersson Schwarz and Patrick Burkart, co-editors of this special issue, have researched user motivations and political activism around copyright and software patent reforms, partially explaining the emergence of dozens of European Pirate Parties, beginning with the Swedish Pirates in 2006.

‘Collaborative Competition’ : Stance-taking and Positioning in the European Parliament
- 2017
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The European Parliament (EP) is the scene where certain issues concerning over 500 million ‘Europeans’ are publicly debated and where politically relevant groupings are discursively coconstructed. While the Members of the Parliament (MEPs) pursue their political agendas, intergroup boundaries are drawn, reinforced, and/or transgressed. Speakers constantly take stances on behalf of groupings in relation to some presupposed other groupings and argue what differentiates ‘Self’ from ‘Others’. This study examines patterns of language use by the MEPs as they engage in the contextually and historically situated dialogical processes of intergroup positioning and stance-taking. It further focuses on the strategic and competitive activities of grouping, grounding, and alignment in order to reveal the dynamic construction of intergroup boundaries.The study is based on a collection of Blue-card question-answer sequences from the plenary debates held at the EP in 2011, when the Sovereign Debt Crisis had been stabilized to some degree but still evoked plenty of controversy.Theoretically the study builds on Stance Theory (Du Bois, 2007), Positioning Theory (Davies & Harré, 1990), and several broadly social constructivist approaches to discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1995).The analysis shows that intergroup positioning in the EP emerges as what I call a ‘collaborative competition’ between contradictory ideologies and political agendas. The MEPs strategically manipulate their opponents' prior or projected utterances in order to set up positions for self, a grouping he or she stands for, and thereby its adversaries. All participants engage in the maintenance and negotiation of intergroup boundaries, even though the boundaries hardly ever coincide between the different speakers. They discursively fence off some imaginary territories, leaving their adversaries with vague positions.When asking Blue-card questions, the MEPs use a particular turn organization, which involves routine forms of interactional units, namely addressing, question framing and question forms, each of which is shown to contribute to stance-taking. A dynamic model of stance-taking is suggested, allowing for a fluid transformation of the stance object as well as the discursively constructed stance-takers.While Blue-card questions are meant to serve as a structured procedure for eliciting information from a speaker, the analysis demonstrates that the MEPs accomplish various divergent actions that serve intergroup positioning. The dissertation thus contributes to the understanding of the discursive games played in the EP as the MEPs strive to construct social realities that fit their political ends.
