The performance of tradition : An ethnography of Hira Gasy popular theatre in Madagascar
- 1997
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study deals with the popular theatre performance of Hira Gasy, and its actors andaudiences in the central highland regions of Imerina and northern Betsileo in Madagascar. The Hira Gasy has developed from a court to a rural performance during the last two centuries, a period influenced by first the British and then by the French presence in the country. Today, the performances are given in diverse contexts, the most common being in connection with reburial ceremonies. The Hira Gasy troupes all have a common form of their performance, with speeches, songs, acrobatics, dance and music, while the content is unique for each troupe, although given in a culturally recognized form. The study is based on 19 months of fieldwork divided into five periods between1991 and 1996. The main argument is that the Hira Gasy performances provide a forumin which the problems of identification and belonging are discussed. The `foreigner' isused as a `mirror image' for the rural and the poor in their aims to assert and shape theirsense of belonging in a changing society. The symbols of identification - the ancestralland, the common tomb, and the family solidarity - are felt to be threatened by increasingindividualization and the decrease in the fulfillment of the ancestral duties. For the ruralpoor their feelings of marginality and powerlessness in relation to the economically andpolitically powerful urban elite are expressed in Hira Gasy. Through the practice ofcustom they sustain their moral dignity, which is one of the most important means inorder to remain malagasy. The Hira Gasy performances are indigenious arenas for existential and moral discussions, and for providing a sense of belonging in a problematic reality shaped by both the `way of the ancestors' and the `way of the foreign'.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- NS-children are sons and daughters of members of a Norwegian nazi party, that collaborated during the Second World War German occupation of Norway with the foreign regime. In this paper, I discuss recent efforts to articulate in public the sufferings that children in this category had to endure in post-war Norway. Drawing on reflections on politics of identity, I dwell particularly upon how the experiences of the children are connected to recommendations that excuses should be produced, history rewritten, or wider political visions adopted. The conclusion points out a set of issues that I think ought to be considered in the study of processes where marginalised categories are transformed into groups and organisations.

Lokal kultur? : Refleksjoner om presentasjon og oppfatning av kulturtrekk som lokalspesifikke
- 1990

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this commentary the idea of local culture is questioned. It is argued that localness is relative, and that this should be clearly recognized. On the other hand, local can also be used in a more basic sense. Phenomena can be local simply by virtue of existing in a specific geographical setting. The mere use of the word local does not therefore imply that the phenomena described represent a specific local culture.

Lokala gemenskaper : En studie av en nordsvensk by på 1980-talet
- 1994
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The central question raised in this study is the sense of community in Keskijärvi, a mining village in the north of Sweden. What is the nature of the local community and in which activities is it expressed? This question is examined through an empirical study of two communicative practices which convey local knowledge in the village. The method used is participant observation, supplemented with interviews. Findings indicate that no single, overarching local community exists in the village, that the communities that do exist are of two kinds: concrete vs. imagined, and that acquaintance was a salient feature in the variation between the two communicating practices.

Sacred unity, sacred similarity : Norwegian Constitution Day parades
- 1999
-
Ingår i: Ethnology. - 0014-1828. ; 38:2, s. 175-189
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Norwegian Constitution Day parades are annual occasions for public demonstrations of belonging to the Norwegian community. Simultaneously they are events that mark social statuses and categories by including them in different ways or by excluding them from participation. This article discusses three kinds of contemporary Constitution Day parades, inviting participants in their capacities of schoolchildren, teenage students or citizens. Examining their composition and focussing particularly upon the citizens' parade, the article shows how parades, partly against their overtly stated intentions, come to support a narrowly defined Norwegian normality and ascribe to modern subcultural and ethnic minorities a controversial character.

På spaning i Stockholm : En etnologisk studie av polisarbete
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis forms a study of the work of an investigative intelligence group within the Stockholm police during the 1990s. The aim is to research how a group of detectives worked out their assignments and created a meaningful work situation given the conditions and scope of the police organisation. On an overall level the study examines the social construction of the group, and the way its members saw themselves and each other.The study is mainly based on fieldwork carried out in the group. Reflexive consciousness was a phenomenon characteristic of those studied and of their environment: the ethnologist researched the investigators who were investigating the suspected criminals, who in their turn wheeled round and observed these investigative police.An organisation like the police structures its employees’ thinking on certain fundamental practices. The material design of the police station corresponded with the divisions the police made into the categories police employees, the public, and suspect criminals. But within the framework of the organisation there was freedom to develop other ways of thinking and scope for shaping the work. The professional work of the detectives was paradoxical in several ways. These investigators developed strategies for concealing their work, sometimes they appeared to find themselves in a liminal situation between the public and the suspects and it was their duty to watch over others but they themselves tried at the same time to evade the control of superiors. Egalitarian relations between work colleagues were an ideal, while at the same time female colleagues were relatively subordinate to the males. Gender inequality seemed thereby not to exist and legitimated male dominance. The first three factors can be understood in the context of a certain type of competence developed by the detectives in their work. This was there ability to grasp distinctions and thereby differentiate and maintain boundaries. It was through such processes that meaning was created and some conflicting elements in their work were balanced out.

Vårleden : Minnesbilder från Holmön
- 1991
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- På Holmön kallas tiden mars—april för vårleden. Det är övergången mellan vinter och vår. Den tiden kunde vara påfrestande för både folk och fä. Då var ofta stor brist på färskvaror. På matbordet fanns kanske bara lakegods (saltad mat) och mjölgröt.Men vårleden var en väntans tid. Man kände den nya våren nalkas. Åter stundar öppet hav, färsk fisk och orrspel — och en ljuvlig blomningstid, en lång och livgivande sommar.I boken berättar Albin Edlund initierat om livet i sin barndoms skärgårdsby Holmön i Kvarken. Tiden är 1920-talet och arbetet med boskapen, fisket och säljakten präglar vardagslivet. Författaren illustrerar sina berättelser kring öns folkliv och traditioner med egna teckningar.Albin Edlund lämnade Holmön vid sexton års ålder, då han antogs till Skeppsgossekåren. Han tjänstgjorde sedan inom flottan och slutade där som kapten, men han har alltid behållit kontakten med Holmön.

Mötet mellan centralt och lokalt : Studier i uppländska byordningar
- 1991
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish village by-laws are a collection of rules for coexistence in a village which evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries. The dissertation takes its starting point in an edition of Byordningar från Mälarlänen (Village By-Laws in the Lake Mälar districts) containing about 400 by-laws from the central part of Sweden, and is a limited review of that edition at the same time as it gives a systematic survey of certain aspects specified in the by-laws. These aspects were added as the result of an official proposal in 1742 containing a model on how a by-law should be constructed. The question is asked whether the directives of the Government were formulated when they reached the local level, or whether they were redesigned and adapted to suit the local situation. The village by-laws in the Mälar counties differ in form and in content depending upon the official proposal on by-laws from 1742. The village by-laws were originally discussed in connection with the changes in agriculture, and thus concerned such sectors as farming methods, fencing, grazing, the right to certain proportions of the village's resources. The local conditions in the village are reflected in, for example, the rules on the length of the grass for grazing. There were different kinds of such by-laws, e.g., by-laws for individual villages and by-laws for parishes (approved at a parish meeting). The initiative of the Government in requiring village by-laws gave different results in different counties. Large parts of Uppsala county are without forest land. The fences and the system of enclosing fields are therefore of particular interest in a discussion on the village by-laws. I have demonstrated that their origin and acceptance in Swedish villages and parishes can be placed in political, chronological, social and functional contexts.

Teknikens befäl : En etnologisk studie av teknikuppfattning och civilingenjörer : [an ethnological study of the understandings of technology and engineers]
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this Thesis is to analyse technology as a domain for knowledge and cultural experience among Swedish engineers during the 20th century. The aim is to examine how the concept of technology and the engineering profession are related in literature and films as well as in biographies, written by engineers themselves. Ever since engineering and technology became recognised as an independent field of knowledge at the end of the 18th century, engineers have been seen as key actors in the industrialisation and modernisation of Sweden, as indeed also in other Western countries. The idea of technology thus can be looked upon as a symbol for modernity and the engineers as creators and managers of this idea. The main material for this study consists of life-history scripts and biographies written by around seventy engineers for Nordic Museum (Nordiska museet) in Stockholm. Using themes such as willingness to break away and change, future-orientation and rationality, the thesis discusses how individuals deal with, and describe, their supposed role in Swedish modernity. Other important materials used are films and literature that show the image of technology and the engineering profession in popular culture. The founding of a royal academy of engineering sciences (Kungliga Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien) and a technical museum (Tekniska museet) around 1920 were important steps in the professionalisation ofengineering in Sweden. Their importance in the understanding of the concept of technology and engineering is discussed. There are three theoretical perspectives in this thesis: modernity, gender and class. The thesis is an analysis of modernity as a cultural construction, which is related to class and gender, with Swedish engineers as examples. The material shows how engineers are clearly orientated to values central to modernity, viz. the individual's responsibility and possibilities, future-orientation and rationality. The engineers' life-history scripts reveal that these are values they expect from themselves. The engineers belong mainly to the upper middle-class. This thesis discusses how middle-class values am transferred and reproduced in the educational situation as well as in their professional role. Technology has been, and still is, a male domain. This study analyses how technology culturally expresses masculinity, and what strategies women use when entering and positioning themselves in this field.

Rituell process, tradition och media : Socialdemokratisk första maj i Stockholm
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation's initial proposition is that political ideology can be embodied in ritual form. The use of Social Democrat May Day demonstrations - a political procession similar to parades - in Stockholm as a tool for creating ideology, and to both maintain and disseminate Social Democratic ideology is analysed. One perspective is that May Day forms part of the creation of traditions, or traditionalisation.The symbolic body that the May Day demonstration constitutes has been provided with different contents in different ideological contexts. With the first May Day demonstration of 1890, the working class appropriated a traditional spring festival. Newspapers invested it with loaded spatial images as civic rebirth, and it was equated with nature's transition from winter to spring. Until the 1930s May Day was still regarded as a worker's festival. When the Social Democrats gained power in 1932, May Day was transformed into the Day of the Swedish People, employing nationalistic rhetoric. It was argued that this festival had been appropriated by capitalism, but that its true values were now restored. As television appeared in the early 1960s, the May Day demonstration was adapted to this new medium. Renewal was the key word. During the ideological and economic crises of the 1990s, many ambivalent means of expression have been used. Irony is one, playing on carnevalesque themes such as death and rebirth. The demonstration participant manifested criticism of the party by utilising such imagery and exploiting the spatial dramaturgy of the ritual. The appearance of this carnival theme can be explained in terms of the general ideological uncertainty prevailing in Sweden. This stemmed from the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme, a political crisis of confidence in the early 1990s, and the fall of the Eastern bloc, amongst other things. At the same time, the historical role of Social Democracy has been strongly questioned. One hot topic is wether or not the Swedish model of welfare should be preserved. Even established Social Democrats argue that this social form is obsolete. Traditionalism has now become synonymous with retrospection. Within this context, many ask if May Day ought not become a day for general political issues, without processions. There has been similar questioning since the 1890s, and at times the demonstration concept has been claimed to have become stale.The first demonstrations paved the way for the worker's entry into "official" public space. Through the disciplined demonstration, the workers' movement showed that they could act in a well-controlled manner, without threatening order. This dissertation analyses the workers' May Day as media event, which has been shaped in dialogue with media accounts. It can therefor be argued that as a ritual form, the workers' May Day demonstration is characteristic of the public dramaturgy of modernity.
