- Classics in Ethnology? Is there a need for classics in ethnology? If so, which texts should be considered classics? In what way could these texts be a resource in the “everyday life” of ethnology? In this issue of Rig we address these interesting and difficult questions. Generally speaking ethnologists tend to know the history of the discipline rather well, but, at the same time, there seems to be a reluctance being associated with, or making use of research conducted ten years ago, not to mention even older studies. Thus, bringing the concept of classics into ethnology might seem to be odd since the concept, and the related concept of canon, often is associated with a conservative attitude. In other words, classics are something we, as ethnologists, do not want to be associated with. However, even though ethnologists try to avoid the concept, few of us would deny the existence of a silent canon. There is every reason to pay attention to this fact, as well as to discuss how the classics could be used in contemporary research.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This issue of RIG has its starting point in a colloqium in Stockholm, held in october 2008 concerning the futures av ethnology. The participants discussed several problems and opportunities. One problem is fewer and fewer applications to basic education, another the question of employability. Ethnologists are well suited for different jobs but we have difficulties communicating it. On the other hand, ethnologists are successful fundraisers. Their research is useful and well connected to important societal questions. The discussions on ethnology are part of a wider discussion concerning humanities and social sciences and the question of freedom and pragmatism. On one hand science is strongly dependent of demands expressed outside the academy. On the other hand these demands are to a high degree expressed by scientists themselves. In this sense science is rather autonomous.

Ett betydelselöst monument? : Om Sigurd Erixons Svensk byggnadskultur

- A Monument Without Meaning? On Sigurd Erixon’s Swedish Building Culture Sigurd Erixon was the dominant figure of the ”old” ethnology in Sweden. In the late 1960:s the discipline took a new, anthropological turn that replaced the older ethnology characterized by studies in objects och houses, evolution and diffusion. Swedish Building Culture was one of the great monuments of this paradigm. What meaning could it have for us, today? Is there anything for us to learn? The aim with the essay is to scrutinize this possible meaning. Swedish Building Culture was published 1947. There were many sources, not the least the many village investigations performed by Erixon and his colleagues and students. They described, photographed and measured vernacular buildings in the countryside. Types and species, space and time, were the starting-point when the material was classified, as were formal aspects of the buildings for sorting out the different types and species. In this process Erixon’s own lingual constructions stands out. Despite their focus on material culture Erixon and his colleagues claimed man as their prime object of investigation. Today this claim appears quite peculiar. In this sense their is not much to learn from Swedish Building Culture. Instead the essay claims interest in the dealing with a large and heterogenic material. Their is not much stated on how this was done. There was a great urge for systematization, a process that, however, was concealed. Even if this paradigm is dead and left, the research on vernacular historical building needs to be renewed. Still houses and things are excellent sources to history, not the least the history of common people.

Hem, kvinnor och barn: norm och vetande i sociala myndigheters hembesök i efterkrigstidens Sverige

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article deals with how Swedish welfare authorities, governmental as well as municipal, performed personal case studies during the period 1940 to 1970. The visits at home are focused, as a mean of the authorities to generate truth of the inquired woman. The home visit was part of a personal case inquiry, perhaps initiated from the authorities to create basic data for decision-making. The examples are collected from inquiries before decisions concerning sterilisations, abortions and adoptions as well as municipal child-welfare officers’ surveillance of extramarital born children. After conversations with the inquired woman and perhaps with her employer and relatives, a home visit both served as a complement to the inquiry generating new facts of the woman and her living conditions and to guarantee the authenticity of the prior accumulated knowledge. The article underlines the close connections between the flat/house and the woman living in it. The home, and the people living there, seemed to express the character and quality of the inquired woman. In the perspective of the welfare officer the unannounced visit was preferable. The officer wanted to see the home as it really ”was”, in its daily shape, to be able to validate the woman living in it. The concluding remarks deals with how the individuals in the modern society are the objective of the authorities knowledge and power. This focus on the individual leads the inquiring officer to the threshold of the home, which rather than a private sphere appears as an arena of general interest and action.
